    Quesabirria Tacos
    Lenora N.

    I usually love this place, but tonight it wasn't that good. We got the carne asada burritos and it tasted like the meat was old and rewarmed in the microwave and rice was mushy. It didn't have that fresh off the grill taste like first time we've been there. Sorry Xalos, don't think I'll be back. Plus side, is that they're very friendly and fast.

    Love this spot! Haven't been here before but I love the freshness of the garnishes they use and the tacos are extra savory and the aroma of the spices are fantastic. Great selection of food for the price! Plus portions are perfect! Service is fast and friendly. Order up at the front. Have a seat and you'll be served your food. There's a beautiful view if you choose to eat outside where there are seats/tables. Peep the majestic mountains as you indulge in some tacos!

    I really like this place, but I have many a-typical opinions about burritos, so take what I say with a grain of salt. This is kind of like a hybrid between a place like Serrano's and a "mission-style burrito chain" (think: Chipotle, Qdoba, etc). Where it's different than the chains is that you don't pick out all your ingredients, Subway-style. You choose from a menu of burritos with pre-populated ingredient bundles. Ya'll indecisive types are probably delighted by this. (you know who you are, you take 20 seconds to decide if you want pickles on your sub or not...HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW?!) Me. I know what I want. When I want it, and how I like it given to me. So, I wish I had more ingredient control. I ended up getting a fajita burrito. It was massive AND it came with chips. They have a wide selection of house made sauces too, which is very much appreciated. Nothing more depressing than a Mexican place with a mild house salsa and a bottle of tapatio and...that's it. Them's the only two options. It was tasty, but I find the burritos at the chains I mentioned above often have a fresher taste. Also, the ramekins for sauces are way, way too tiny. It's impossible to dip a chip in them without breaking the chip.

    Honestly Xalos kicks it up to another level. Ended up going for late lunch and was not disappointed. Very quick and easy lunch stop. Ended up getting the quest Birria tacos. I would say they do them better than most the places here. Very juicy and flavorful. If you don't want to get messy then I would not recommend. Also get chips and salsa. They also do better chips and salsa then most places. Would definitely go back for more.

    Best Birria tacos in Anchorage! The staff were very helpful and everything inside was remodeled and clean! 10/10 for a restaurant in anchorage.

    I was surprised how nice it is inside. Even though it isnt full service, it's really pretty. Order at the counter, pay and they bring it to you. It's not cheap though, dont expect Taco King prices. For 8.95 I got the Tortilla Soup and OMG it was so good. It had avocado, zucchini, cheese, chicken, chips, cilantro and a fantastic savory broth. Also got the best Horchata I've ever had. The fam got some kind of crazy breakfast burrito and they loved it.

    Approaching the front door, I see a sign requiring mask entering the building. No problem. As I enter, I see another sign requiring customers to sanitize hands before moving further. No problem. While waiting to order. The cashier was taking an order over the phone. No problem. But I can't help but notice how disgusting their cashier was. While she was on the phone, she had her mask down (this part doesn't bother me)... but she kept on nibbling her fingers. The same fingers she types on their tablet. She does it too many times. She continues to nibble on her thumb and index fingers. Disgusting. I could not stomach the idea of furthering my order at this point. I had to leave. To the owner, I hope you're reading this. Please talk to your cashier on 08.19.21 4:50pm.

    Well crafted burrito with fresh ingredients. My chipotle steak was tender and very lean. Will definitely return.

    Lightning Fast Service and Delicious Breakfasts! We…read morestopped by for a midmorning breakfast and were delighted by both the service and the food. Within 20 minutes of walking in, we were seated, served coffee and water, placed our order, and received our meals. We enjoyed classic breakfast favorites--fried eggs, patty sausage, biscuits and gravy, reindeer sausage--and the lightest, fluffiest, most perfectly prepared Belgian waffle. The experience was so impressive that we returned the next day to see whether it had been a fluke; it was not. The staff was just as friendly and efficient, and while the breakfast sandwich we added was delicious, I couldn't resist ordering another heavenly waffle. I strolled by the kitchen, a couple of times, to try and look to see what magic they were performing in the background, but their secret sauce is the people who work there! So close to the airport, great staff, even better breakfasts and a must stop for breakfast on your way to or from the airport.

    I'll preface this by saying that I've heard plenty of good things about Heidi's food, portions and…read morecleanliness. So I really wanted this to become a regular spot for me. Unfortunately, after trying two weekends in a row, I'm giving up. I completely understand that weekend breakfast/brunch is going to be busy. Waiting isn't the issue. The check-in and seating process is just incredibly disorganized. Both visits I put my name on the waitlist. The first time, I specifically asked if I could take one of two open seats at the bar and was told I still needed to join the waitlist. I did, but guests who arrived after me were eventually seated at the bar ahead of me. The second weekend, essentially the same thing happened again. There also doesn't seem to be a clear way to tell who is actually waiting versus who has just arrived. Meanwhile, I watched larger tables that had been pushed together for bigger parties remain together after those parties left, then get reset and used for smaller groups rather than being separated again. That's a lot of usable seating sitting unnecessarily occupied when you have a lobby full of people waiting. When I asked the host during my first visit why someone behind me on the waitlist had been given the bar seat I'd originally asked about, I received an apology but no real explanation or resolution. On the positive side, after spending plenty of time waiting on both visits, I can certainly confirm what others have said about the restaurant being clean and the portions looking generous coming out of the kitchen looke I genuinely wanted to try Heidi's, and I still think it may be worth visiting during slower hours. But after two consecutive weekend experiences with the same seating issues, the problem feels less like "they were busy today" and more like a process that needs some attention. Unfortunately, that's enough for me to stop trying for now.

You can see them bake the pastries and bread. Our first time in line, I decided to get their sausage poached egg breakfast sandwich and an Alaskan berry scone. My friend got their breakfast focaccia came with egg, cheese sausage on a focaccia. My egg sandwich was not good. I was surprised they didn't heat the sandwich. Not even sure if I had to ask? The egg wasn't that poached, the inside was just gooey and not runny, which was fine by me. Since it was not heated, the sausage patty was so cold, egg was cold, the bread bun they used was so big, too much bread, stale/hard and not proportional. It was pretty bad, not a good breakfast sandwich. Skip it. They made that up in the breakfast focaccia. The focaccia was warm, soft, and the egg and sausage was warm and just right. That's what you should get!!! We came back in line and got additional items bc they put our more. I got their fruit danish, my friend got their chocolate cupcake and an ham cheddar scone. Their danish was delicious. And their scones were very flakey and soft. Everything was great except that breakfast sandwich. Skip that and get the breakfast focaccia.
