    I ordered the Happy hour item, two shredded beef tacos and a beer. Mannnn, those tacos, I wanted to return the very next day! The beer was sooo good too.

    I agree with Morgan!! The food here runs circles around anything that you will find in Southern California. What is different? The ingredient quality. Is it more expensive than a little taqueria? Yes. But is it worth the money? Yes! This place is located next door to Provisions South.

    Empanadas
    jocelyn b.

    We came in at 815- they close at 9. We wanted a marg flight they said no. And can we make it to go cuz they closing. (?). We said sure ordered empanada and taquito He said we could have chips and salsa and two drinks while we "waited". They brought our burnt food out in a bag around 830- & we ended up eating it in the restaurant & l out by 845. Terrible service. Burnt food and no flight. Chips and salsa - y delicious!- nice location ..... too bright & Rude.

    Tacos Mixtos, Nachos & Taquitos
    Xcaret B.

    I was really impressed. We ordered the puerco tacos, shrimp tacos, barbacoa nachos, and chicken taquitos. Everything was so good. The beans were perfect and every meat was seasoned well but the chicken was the standout. Service was super friendly and the whole place is so clean and aesthetic. It honestly looks brand new. Food came out fast too. I will definitely be back.

    We are always looking for a good place to find good Mexican food or menu items from south of the border. This one was a great find. The margaritas were great, the salsa choices were so good, and the chips were delicious. The main courses were well made and beautifully plated. The amount of food was very satisfying and filling. We will definitely be back for more very soon.

    Here's the fried avocado
    Bev H.

    My friend and I went here for an early dinner the other night. I was delighted to see they had a beer that's considered a sour beer. I haven't had one in ages and there's was an excellent. I ordered a couple different tacos and my friend ordered a dish with fried avocado. I had never heard of fried avocado. I did take a bite of hers and it was so creamy and mushy - a delicious surprise! For once, I remembered to include some photos which you will see below. My only critique is on my pork taco, the pork was cut in little chunks and seem to be deep-fried. In general, I avoid deep fried foods. The menu you might've explained that, but I didn't pick that up. In the summer, they have delightful outside seating.

    Cubano sandwich with patatas bravas and mix taco plate with barbacoa, puerco, and camarón tacos.
    Brenda G.

    First time here and I was very impressed! Both the cubano and mix tacos were delicious! My favorites were definitely the camarón taco and the patatas bravas. The drink special was perfectly strong and fruity! The staff was super friendly and helpful. Very relaxed atmosphere, they even have board games to play.

    Kids chicken taquitos and a side of beans.

    LOTS OF POTENTIAL with room to grow! I want to give this restaurant another chance but also set realistic expectations for other food aficionados. Let's get right to the food: NACHOS: We ordered the Nachos based on the cashier's recommendations. I LOVED the radish and pickled onions. The beef and guacamole was a bit bland but the beans had a nice flavor and consistency. The chips tasted fresh but overall I think this dish needs more salsa and freshly sliced avocado. KIDS QUESADILLA: My youngest had a quesadilla. This came with a side of black beans. Overall it was what I would expect for a kids meal. I'd love to see colorful veggies on the side to add color and variety. This would compliment the restaurants esthetic and other dishes. KIDS TAQUITOS: My oldest had the chickens taquitos and the chicken was VERY DRY. I feared she may choke because the meat was so overcooked. I think this could be avoided and improved by adding in some cheese and using less frying time. CROQUETAS: These we're tasty and came with some great sauces but keep in mind you are getting the equivalent of three mozzarella sticks for $6. The AMBIENCE was perfect for a summer afternoon! The music was enjoyable and having the garage door raised created a relaxed vibe. The DRINKS were disappointing. I had high hopes after reading other reviews that the margarita flight was the way to go but it tasted like overpriced juice. I expected to feel a slight buzz after drinking 22 oz. but instead had heartburn and regret. Hate to sound so harsh, but I spent $20 and anticipated more substance. The SERVICE was OK. We explained this was our first visit and I appreciate that the cashier gave us some recommendations on drinks and dishes after we asked. The staff was helpful but they did not seem happy or excited to see people. Like "Welcome! Glad you are here. Can we help in any way?" would go a looooong way. The POTENTIAL lies in having educated staff provide a little more INFO in terms of top dishes, staff favorites, what drinks pair well with what, and if you really want to impress, share the LatinX history behind the restaurant, and local startup, etc.

    What a fun place! Very friendly folks, super fast service- and the food and beer is excellent! Full of flavors! We had the taco plate (3 shrimp), empanadas (hatch chicken) and the chips and salsa (REALLY good and totally different than what you would expect!) We will be back for sure!!

    Joana B.

    We tried out Xicha for the first time over the weekend and we loved it! This is an order at the counter and seat yourselves kind of a place situated beneath the Amazon Corner Apartments with such a cute, bright and colorful aesthetic. We ordered a flight of beers, a margarita, the chicken empanadas, the chicken piquillos peppers, the chicken taco plate and the cubano sandwich. All delicious but the empanadas for sure stole the show! They were steaming hot, crispy and very flavorful (they make their dough/tortillas in house). We will be back!

    Only picture I grabbed...delicious IPA
    Kim D.

    Yeah a happy hour that includes a good selection of food and drink specials. The stuffed peppers were the perfect size, 3 peppers stuffed with shredded chicken in a pepita sauce and a generous side salad..perfect snack. The papas were amazing, perfectly cooked and bathing in a light cheese sauce, pickled vegetables and a nice sauce (can't remember) but my taste buds won't forget. Great afternoon light bite!!

    Ashley M.

    After reading good reviews and hearing positive notes from friends, my experience as Xicha was sadly disappointing. First, the service was subpar and the seating arrangement was not ideal. I know they just opened, so maybe they are taking time to figure things out, but the space really could've been improved with a host. Tables weren't guaranteed, which can work at some restaurants (like The Wheel), but here you can order food and still not have a table. Luckily, my group was able to snag a table (it was awkward to stalk people finishing their meals) but I saw some people standing and having to hold their food while they wait for a place to sit! The servers were also unfriendly and similarly seemed displeased about the seating layout. If you have a large group or a group with people who can't physically stand for long, this isn't the place for you. Hopefully their outdoor seating can be improved with heaters too. Now the food was just okay. My group all got a variety of different tacos and taquitos and they honestly could've been the same if you didn't know we ordered different things. The toppings and taste are basically identical between protein choices, which leaves the taste experience lackluster. Especially considering every taco was loaded with a spicy, thick sauce that overwhelmed any other flavor. Only thing I thought was unique were the beans and rice. I wish this place held up to my expectations. I'll be interested to see how Xicha grows into its space and makes some changes.

    Cauliflower empanadas
    Katherine R.

    What a beautiful and delicious taco spot! I really enjoyed Xicha. Counter service spot with FAST service, margaritas flights, delicious food, and vegetarian options. What's not to love? The cauliflower al pastor empanadas were amazing, and I REALLY loved that the chips and salsa came with like 4 different salsas! Loved the variety and they were all packed with flavor. I'll definitely be back.

The interior design is cozy and booths are a nice way to catch up with a small group. I think they're still working on food consistency and getting the menu down pat. My meat-eating friends were enjoying the wings, but one larger wing had blood inside; to the credit of the server, he took it away and brought another plate of wings on the house, and no problems with the second plate. I got the cauliflower with salsa macha. The general flavor and idea for the dish were good, but the dish was SO salty that it was hard to eat. I found myself scraping off the salsa macha to create bites that didn't sting the tongue (I was pretty hungry). It seemed like someone wasn't tasting each component of the dish in the kitchen and sent out a plate that was almost too salty to eat. There aren't a ton of vegetarian options here and it's pricey, so I'm not sure I'll return. I miss the old Coldfire with DOP.

From the moment we walked in, we loved the classic brewery vibe--laid-back, welcoming, and super clean. The food, drinks, and service were all genuinely fantastic. I was honestly shocked that it was so empty on a Sunday afternoon because this spot deserves to be packed. It's the perfect place to enjoy a drink, hang out, and grab some really delicious food. The nachos were SO GOOD--we nearly polished off the entire plate without even trying. The Philly cheesesteak sandwich and the potato soup were both incredibly comforting, flavorful, and exactly what we were craving. One of the sweetest touches was when we asked the owner if she had any cards, and she actually loaned us a deck of UNO to play while we hung out. Such a small gesture, but it made the experience feel so personal and homey. Overall, I had such a wonderful time here and would absolutely come back next time I'm in town. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food, great drinks, and a genuinely great atmosphere!

The brewery itself is also great as they have lots of inside seating options and a pretty big outdoor patio. The beer was great too, we found out about Hop Valley because we were in town for the Eugene Marathon and they're one of the sponsors. The only downfall was the food service, we ordered a simple salads and chicken strips with fries and it took about an hour to get our food. We came Sunday afternoon after the marathon and it wasn't too busy here. Outside had about 3 tables either partied of 5 plus people. You would t think starter/appetizer could take that long.

They had a bunch of outdoor seating and bike parking, but it was too cold that day on our visit. The interior really leans into their brand with everything in bright green. There's a bar with seating, tables, a merchandise shop, and lots of packaged beer to take to go. The staff were welcoming. They came to the table to take our orders, most of us got flights and burgers. The food was better than the beer to be honest, however, all the beers were good too. If you're a beer fan, this is one of those must-stop places.

We really enjoy their brown (which seem to be hard to find outside of holiday beers). They have a good variety of beers so there should be something for everyone (including some guest taps).

You order with the bartender and then go pick up your food at the truck when they buzz you. I got the Viking Dog which was a very tasty sausage topped with braised red cabbage. There was a tiny drizzle of lemon aioli and crispy sauerkraut (which tasted like crispy onions). It was served with steak fries and we asked for curry aioli on the side. Everything was so good. My dad really enjoys the beyond burger and I got to try the battered fish. Really good food coming out of that truck! They have two spaces where a band can play: inside or out. With both stages, there is a little space to dance up front or you can just chill at your table and enjoy your food and drink. Great spot to visit on a summer evening!
