If you love tacos and haven't been here, GET HERE! XOLO is one of my favorite restaurants in the Fenton area, and my husband & I visit as much as we can. More of a "boutique" taco spot, the restaurant's design is a colorful, modern space that's both fun and inviting. They have a well-tailored one-page menu of amazing options with unique flavors and different combinations of ingredients. You'll find all your classics-- Tacos, burritos, nachos, tortas, quesadillas, salads, bowls, salsas, guacamole, etc. There is an extensive list of tequilas, and I think they may even offer a flight, if you want to try a few. The variety of margaritas, cocktails, beer, and wine is also a list you're going to eventually want to make you're way through! Definitely start your meal with the Salsa Trio (after you've ordered your margs), because you do not want to miss out on their house-fried salty tortilla chips! They will literally change your mind about where you eat your Mexican food....! After having tried most of their tacos, my go-to is the BBQ Pork, and I always pair it with the Spicy Margarita. It's one of my favorite meals, and one of the reasons why is that I never feel gross, heavy, or tired when I leave! (Some Mexican restaurants just make you feel "bleh" afterwards (all that cheese!)) We've always loved our servers and bartenders here, as they are kind, honest, and attentive. They notice when you need a refill or a napkin, even on a busy Friday night! Clean restrooms, great energy, cool vibes! Come stop in if you're ever in or around Fenton, MI! You'll have some fun! And you get tacos, too!!! :D read more

Fenton is such a cute town and so is this restaurant. It's a smaller place and had great parking in the back. We were here on Saturday around 7. Staff was very friendly and we were greeted immediately and told to seat ourselves wherever we wanted. The server came over with waters and menus right away. We started off with the house margarita and it was delicious. We ordered the trio and I say you definitely should order that. The nachos were next level!!! I like a lot of stuff on my nachos and these were some of the best I have had. The street taco with chicken was also tasty. Everything tasted super fresh. I did not leave feeling weighed down like in many restaurants. I left feeling satisfied. I would love to try some other things on the menu. Great experience. read more

Great good. The service could be better - they disappeared. The menu was vegetarian friendly. The food was on par and at points better than other street taco places. Can't wait to come back! ** great iced tea. read more

Xolo is awesome! I've been twice over the last month or so and had great experiences both times. It's such an aesthetically pleasing spot with great (surprisingly inexpensive) margaritas and amazing chips and salsa and tacos- what more could you possibly want? read more

Xolo - three tacos in a basket on a table - Tacos Near Me - Fenton, Michigan

Busy busy busy! Make sure to use their reservation option if you're looking to eat here. The staff were all courteous and quick. The margaritas were strong and delicious. We enjoyed the two different kinds of tacos that we had and thought they were seasoned well. The only flaw was that the queso lacked flavor, spice, and heat as it was cold. Great experience, and I look forward to coming back! read more

Great tacos and dips with a super cool atmosphere. Love the outdoor seating! I tried the birria taco and the fried chicken taco and both were so good. The chips are FIRE! Spicy mango marg slapped, highly recommend. read more

Xolo - Birria Taco + fried chicken taco - Tacos Near Me - Fenton, Michigan

Came in last night, i was surprised how empty it was for a Thursday night in downtown Fenton. Some of the tables had chairs on them . Something felt off in the vibe, we sat at the bar. The bartender was really sweet. Ive always loved the birria tacos here. We ordered the chips and salsa , birria tacos and some rice . The tacos were soaked in grease , not like they have been in the past. They did offer to remake , which we politely declined. The rice was also undercooked. We both felt sick for the rest of the night. read more

Food was trash. My cousin, sister, and uncle all agreed on the rating of this restaurant. The restaurant is a white washed Mexican restaurant. The food lacked flavor, they lacked sauces. They barely put any meat on their tacos. The only thing this restaurant is good for is for their drinks, cheesecake, and aesthetic. If you want good authentic Mexican food good to CANCUN MEXICAN RESTAURANT & CANTINA 1204 N Leroy St Fenton, MI 48430 United States read more

Xolo - Cheese cake - Tacos Near Me - Fenton, Michigan

I've been going to Xolos since it opened years ago. The service is honestly terrible every time I go. The waitresses will stand at the front when you are clearly done with your food in an empty restaurant and it takes forever for them to give you the check, usually I have to stare at them or tell them to come over. Over half of the staff do not know how to use the machine for the checks. Sometimes when I go with groups they will give us our food all mixed up on different plates. Several times they have assumed that my group wanted to split the check evenly and not pay for what each person got and it took forever for them to fix it on the machine. When I asked for change today I asked for 5s and 1s and the waitress purposely only gave me 5s so I would leave her a bigger tip. The staff overall is just never that friendly. The only reason I keep coming back is because their tacos are amazing. But from now on I'll only get takeout because dining in always has so many problems. read more

Tried this place out a few weeks ago. Great service and food, we all enjoyed everything except the bulgogi taco; the meat was tough for a bulgogi . I would try again for sure! Atmosphere is cute, the noise level was not too loud. read more

Absolutely love Xolo. We're summer residents who hail from the West. This is the closest to west/west coast tacos that we've found in Michigan. Such a score. Food, drinks, atmosphere and staff are all top shelf. read more

I used to live in Fenton, when this place opened, my wife and I would eat here 2-3 times a week. We loved it! We moved in the last year and came back to Fenton today and wanted to go back and enjoy one of our favorite meals.. THAT WAS A MISTAKE!. We sat down and got our menu, no more meals. I ask why and was told a new owner took over in April. everything is a la carte. Umm ok.. but $4-8 for one Taco? Ok, a little expensive; but it better be good still. We got our food and it was absolutely not good. Tasted nothing like it used to or even close to a decent Mexican taco. Whoever owns it now is trying to run it like a food truck type establishment, the railyard is 1 block away and has actual food trucks with a food truck vibe and music and it's WAY WAY cheaper. I spent $51 for 5 tacos at XOLO and ate half of them and left as soon as I could. I will absolutely never be back. STAY AWAY! read more

Sat at the bar on Saturday night, great service and great food. We will be back for great drinks and tacos!

Food took forever to come out and was not worth the price at all. Small portions and the service was awful. Lots of servers but little service. Drinks took forever to come and forever for refills. Dining experience was beyond 2 hours. read more

We tried Xolo restaurant tonight in Fenton 8-4-24 around 5:45pm no one was there to eat but us!! Both the Tacos & the Nacho's were very greasy, can you tell the cooks to try draining off the grease before they plate the dishes. For me and my wife this place is a one & done!! Do not see it making it in Fenton!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Made an account just to write this review. Went here for my birthday last Tuesday 2/14, ended up getting food poisoning and missing my flight that next morning. Had to switch my flight which costed more money, and lost two days of vacation.. oh and did I mention it was my birthday? The waitress wasn't friendly and was probably mad we came in an hour before close. If you wanna go here because it's cute and nicely decorated just don't order any chicken tacos and, if you're craving pure salt try the birria tacos! The 1 star is for how it's decorated but maybe focus on if the food is cooked or stored properly instead. read more

Very subpar experience. Gentrified white people tacos, pretty bland, and the toppings are spare, mostly all meat and no flavor. I know I sound like a hater but they're pretty bad tacos considering their whole restaurant is dedicated to tacos. I see the potential though, maybe this one time it was just a miss. The atmosphere was okay, nice decor, and pleasant staff. Our tortilla chips were burnt but the salsa was good, definitely ask for fried tortillas or all the innards will fall out of the middle. Peace and love read more

Recently tried Xolo on a Saturday afternoon. We were able to get right in without any wait. The salsa was phenomenal. Incredibly fresh with homemade tortilla chips. We tried three different tacos, the Korean pork, Midwest and Al pastor. All of them were very tasty in their own right. They have a wide range of tequila but the tequila sunrise we ordered was very strong (which may be a positive to some). Overall the quality of the food and service was good. Price point is a little high but we will return to try different styles of tacos! read more

On Saturday, 10/19/24, we made the mistake of taking an out-of-town friend here for lunch. I now I know why we were the only ones in there on a beautiful afternoon. Our waitress was a sweet girl, but so, so clueless. She was more concerned about flirting with the guy at the bar than waiting on our table. The food was mediocre at best. In my "build a bowl "lunch there was only four ingredients when there should've been at least seven or eight (that were listed on the menu). When I asked her for a side of black beans that were missing from my entree, she brought me a side of guacamole. Not sure where the disconnect was there, but she simply was not paying attention. And for the first time in our 32 year marriage, my husband left behind two of the four tacos on his plate because he said they were greasy and inedible. All they consisted of was meat , a pinch of cheese and chopped tomatoes. Even though he asked TWICE for sour cream, he did not get it. Needless to say we will never visit this restaurant again, nor will we suggest it to our friends and family who live in the area. The one bright spot was the avocado appetizer, which was lovely. But other than that, Xolo really have a lot of work to do if they expect to keep your doors open! read more

Went here on a whim. We love the frozen strawberry peach margaritas and they're chips and queso/guacamole! Yum!

Got there in time for happy hour. The happy hour specials are great and the nachos are top notch!!!!

Drinks were good, but the tacos we had were not great. Brussel sprout taco was just raw shaved Brussel sprouts with hot sauce on them. Maybe someone in the kitchen didn't know to prepare them? Anyway -I didn't eat it because it was bad. Our waitress was nice though and we sat outside and all was good there. read more

The service and atmosphere were outstanding. The food however was terrible. My husband and I ordered birria tacos. They were dry and had no flavor. The cauliflower taco taste like fish. The nachos we ate 3 chips each and couldn't eat it as it tasted what I'd imagine a deer salt lick to be comparable to. Unfortunately, I would have rather paid for the server to hand me an un-microwaved can of walmart seasoned black beans in a bowl than what we couldnt even gulp down in this restaurant. read more

Great place to eat. Elotes is the mexican street corn on the cob, its a little messy but don't skip it. Great staff. Have been a few times, I will be back. I liked the Mariscos rice bowl. read more

The chips and salsa are addicting, they're so good! The chicken quesadilla is delicious! And house margaritas are fantastic!

I went back because I know that COVID is tearing the heart out of the industry. First thing I notice is a funky smell. Almost like the floors aren't mopped. Second, no draft beer... again. A month later. I came here because my kids are on spring break and we are about to head out of town, but damn. Xolo may not be here when we get back. Maybe the owners went on vacay too... while everything is broken, including the staff. read more

Had a date night here 3/4/22 and it was great. She called ahead for a table, and when we showed up early we were seated right away. We couldn't stop talking about the little comfy chairs by the windows. The food was incredible, but most importantly the service was excellent. Highly recommend this place and will be going back. read more

I had high hopes... I ordered 2 carne asada tacos and a pescado taco. the carne asada is basically strips of steak,dry and lacking flavor. The pescado taco, fish taco, very,very dry. read more

Nice modern twist on Latinx flare. Great location. Friendly staff. Good food. Recommend the rojo salsa...if you like a little kick of spice. Taco salad smaller than chain, but full of flavor. read more

I'm not a complainer especially when it comes to food. A friend told us he had a horrible meal but we wanted to try for ourselves. We sat at the bar the bartender was friendly and margaritas were great. I had Spicy pineapple very good. Chips are fabulous and tried the salsa Verde which was good. Things were going great we were excited to get our tacos. My husband got the regular ground beef taco over rice, it was ok I definitely make better at home. I had the carne asada taco, it was literally inedible. Honestly probably the grossest bite of food I have ever had in my life. I almost got sick the texture was odd, it was greasy and tasted just awful I can't even describe fully. Our friend said the same about the shrimp tacos. Have a drink and chips and salsa, don't go further. Atmosphere was hip and aesthetically pleasing, Cancun and potrero May it have that but their food blows this place away. read more

Berria tacos were amazing. Margs amazing. Delicious food. Fun atmosphere. Highly recommend

Taco meat and the Al pastor had no flavor. Taco bell would have been better. Ground beef reminded me of dogfood. Not very friendly with the exception of the busboy. House margaritas were week. Dont waste your time or money, read more

The chips are amazing, the salsa roja is alright. You can definitely taste the smoke of the chipotle in it (a bit too much for my tastes). The Caribbean Camarón taco was a bit disappointing size-wise for the price, but the shrimp was cooked well. The Xolo Quesadilla was really good. Their cocktails are amazing. The best was the fruity mojito (can't remember exact name), and second place was a black raspberry cocktail. read more

Been twice now and both visits were great. Chips are special, salsas are great, and drinks are good too. Tried quesadilla, 6 different tacos, and some other items and all were good. We be back again! read more

First time here. We were excited to come but our entire experience was less than enjoyable. The hostess said they were full but we could sit at the bar. Ok..I get that. But an hour passed and there were multiple open tables. Drinks were ok but definitely not nothing special. Food was ok but nothing special. We were never asked how our food was. There was lots of help but they all seemed to busy to make anyone feel warm and welcome. Overall a huge disappointment. A smile or 2 would have gone a long way with us. read more

Room for improvement but nice place don't listen to the guy below. It's worth a try in my opinion.

Service was absolutely terrible. Waitress messed up our order 3 times and proceeded to sit in the table next to us talking to a man. Food was very mediocre. Salsa was way too spicy, guacamole was like paste, and queso was definitely out of a Tostitos queso can. Shrimp tacos were under seasoned and almost inedible, el pastor tacos were burnt making them inedible. The atmosphere was was too loud for my liking. I'm 24 and into the bar scene, but dang was the music cranked. I think that this restaurant definitely has some work to do in order to be successful. Not the best experience, would not come here again. read more

Dined for the first time here today. It was delicious !!! House margarita was "fantastic". The guac and queso dips were delicious and the chips are uniquely different and very good. Our waitress, Colby, was so nice and attentive just enough. She is an asset to Xolo and made our long trip to Fenton well worth it. Looking forward to spring/summer to enjoy their outdoor dining. read more

My husband and I ate here yesterday at lunch time. It was our first time trying this place out. It was so good , we will be back ! I had the xolo nachos and he had birria tacos and yum !!!! The service was great as well , we have no compalints ! Cannot wait to go back . read more
