Lori LuoAgosto 10, 2014The sister restaurant to Traif, Xixa (shik-sa) has a number of excellent dishes, such as the foie gras al pastor and skirt steak. Come with a group if possible to get the tasting menu.
Chad HornerSeptiembre 20, 2017do the tasting menu (a great deal at $55); you'll leave stuffed and it'll spare you the agony of deciding which dishes to try
Mariya FedDiciembre 20, 2015Delicious food and a great staff. The carrot dish is very good but sweet. You can skip the pasta dish, it was definitely not the highlight of the meal but still pretty good. The corn was spectacular.
Nicole FormicaJulio 7, 2016Insanely delicious food. Lean on the amazing wait staff to give you great rec's as you sip on a deconstructed cube cocktail made in house.
Serious EatsAbril 17, 2013While the long menu is a little hit-or-miss, the good dishes on this loosely Mexican menu -- like the "fricco-dilla" and Thai esquites -- are superb. Wine and agave spirits to drink.
Polina WeitzMayo 6, 2018What a jem! Great atmosphere, with delicious food. The Arctic char tartar, grilled octopus and fish tacos were incredible. The guac and roasted carrots are also great. Well definitely come back.
- Adrienne SmithDiciembre 21, 2013Ask about the tasting menu, one of the best values I've come across. You get 9+ courses, with dessert, for $40. The fois gras with roasted pineapple & a riff on "french toast" was especially amazing.
Michele KimJulio 19, 2015The 8-10 course tasting menu for around $50 is absolutely worth it. You get nervous you won't be full around meal 5 but by meal 8 you're stuffed. The tequila cube are novel but not that great imo.
Go tasting menu and settle in for an amazing meal. Request either the foie gras al pastor or the steak tartar & marrow tacos. Sip on a old fashioned cube that's actually made with mezcal & enjoy.
Jen LindbergFebrero 15, 2014Menu can be a little hit or miss but the perfect amount. The grilled carrots, the salmon and corn, and the red velvet cake (especially the cake) were absolutely amazing and make it worth it.
AmateurConciergeAgosto 6, 2018Very good modernized Mexican. Not $$$$, more like $$$. Cocktails are great. Must orders: fish tacos, garlic shrimp, carrots elote
Ana PatriciaMayo 7, 2015Always on the lookout for unique cocktails.. This little hidden gem of a place serves amongst its curiosities- "deconstructed" drinks made of ice cubed cocktails topped with your choice of shot!
Jen ChnJunio 29, 2014This is one of the best reataurant in Williamsburg! They serve reinvented Mexican tapas. Everything was delicious, especially the duck lettuce wraps, the ceviche and the tacos. Service is excellent!
Rory ParnessJulio 25, 2015We had 10 dishes for 4 people. Rolled away way too stuffed but it was worth it! Fav dishes were the duck wraps (love the banana) and the short ribs (insane)
One of the best meals of my life. Do your own tasting (bigger portions/slightly less $). Highlights: Drunken Shrimp, Foie gras al pastor, Baby Octopus, Grilled carrots elote, Guacamole of artichokes
Chelsea BalkanMayo 10, 2015#DubiDO #FabuLIST 5 plates for two was perfect. Get spicy shrimp tostada, roasted burrata, fried brussel sprouts, carnitas, and pork belly sliders. One of my all time fav meals!
Leah SchallerMarzo 29, 2015Yes! Some of the better Mexican tapas I've ever had. And some seriously strong drinks (that look badass!). Next time I'll come really hungry and do the chef's tasting menu!
Kate SinnottSeptiembre 2, 2013Delicious and very creative food with a cool yet comfortable ambiance. The "rice and beans" and carnitas were incredible, as was the spicy shrimp "gorditas" which had a wonderful Japanese flair. Yum!
C REnero 3, 2016Not as popular as Traif (it's sister restaurant). but just as tasty! Food skews greasy and salty, but it's well balanced and the flavors are focused. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu!
J RoSeptiembre 16, 2013get the tasting menu if you're with a group of ppl. order a la carte or the tasting menu with a date. the servers are very helpful if you have questions. this place is bomb!
Alyssa B.Junio 7, 2022Possibly one of the best mesican restos in the city. All the drinks and food were delicious. Highly recommended.
Raquelle JessieAgosto 4, 2016the carrot elote is SO SO SO necessary!!!!!!!! the octopus and chorizo es bomb as well. Get a deconstructed cocktail
Dorothy McGivneySeptiembre 22, 2013If you are here with 3 or more people, get the tasting menu. At $40 it's a great value and takes the guesswork out of ordering tapas-style plates from such an extensive menu.
Matt BurtonJulio 31, 2016Tasting menu is the way to go. One of the best meals of my life. Can't miss the Barbacoa, bone marrow, and churros. Well done Xixa!
Roniel TesslerAbril 10, 2016Xixa and Traif are two of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn. The foi gras is delicious, the service is excellent. Can't say enough nice things.- Leah OzJulio 2, 2017Best restaurant in Williamsburg! Can't go wrong with a big plate to share (especially the short rib) and make sure to try a deconstructed cocktail.
- Ana PatriciaNoviembre 14, 2015Can't say enough good things! Unique tapas and the service is always excellent! Little extras at the start and finish of the meal are great treats.
Chloe ReinJulio 26, 2014So many good vegetarian dishes (carrots and the polenta were my favs) plus super unique deconstructed cocktails. Additionally, the jalapeno ice cream, spicy! Love.
Nora AbousteitAbril 10, 2013Both guacamoles are amazing. Same counts for short ribs, rice with beans, and the whipped ricotta and fruits dessert. It is quite possible that every dish is delicious.
Rei WangEnero 13, 2013Came to try the Foie Gras Al Pastor but was absolutely blown away by the Grilled Carrots Elote. Inventive and delicious.
Nina NiremaNoviembre 30, 2013Fun, interesting, and flavorful tapas. Try either guacamole and the crab tamale. Gotta add that they play great music, intimate vibe - perfect for date night.
JAMESON PINEOctubre 19, 2013Tasting menu = outstanding. Venison osso bucco, brussel sprouts, fried octopus pasta and dessert spread are top picks. Excellent tequila menu. Attractive wait staff.
Thursday night’s cantina night: buy a drink, soak it up with a chef’s choice of complimentary small plate. It made me fall back in love with food all over again
I'm shocked that this place isn't slammed every time I go, yet I am glad it's not. Everything here is spectacular. All the mezcal.
- David ChenMarzo 9, 2013Steak tacos with bone marrow steak tar tar. You should also get the foie gras al pastor and grilled carrots.
Olivia PMarzo 8, 2015Must have: Roasted Burrata, Tuna Tostada, and the Carrots - won't be disappoint! Dessert: Passion Fruit Churros - Muy Deliciouso!!!!- Hannah ZilkaSeptiembre 14, 2014Everything is amazing here. Go for the chef selection, best way to explore the menu. The cocktail cubes are pretty awesome too.
- AmateurConciergeEnero 5, 2019Yes: winter guacamole, vegetable fajitas. Chicken wing confit has good flavor but the double wings are kinda inefficient
- Olivia PMarzo 8, 2015Tip for couples: 5 dishes, a drink each and dessert will cost you a lot less than the Chef's tasting menu and it will be enough food.
Scy DVAbril 17, 2022Highly recommend the tasting menu. Dish highlights: fish tacos, foie gras Pastor, bone marrow, cheese fonita, churros
I love the deconstructed margaritas, grilled carrot dish, bacon and date tapas, along with the pork belly tapas.- DustinFebrero 12, 2017Butter garlic shrimp and osso bucco are standout dishes. But really, after 11 different items, everything was great.
Manolo AglardMarzo 10, 2017Amazing American-Mexican Fusion food, really impressive the new flavors they have created. It's like discovering a new type of food.
Elvis RodricksJunio 5, 2014Do the chef tasting and the mezcal and anejo flights. A great food experience for something tucked away in a corner of williburg.- Lauren FurgasonEnero 25, 2015Tasting menu is out of this world, a perfect group dinner out. Had some fantastic cocktails and Mezcal too!
Vincent FrissoraJunio 21, 2014If you're with a few people get the tasting menu. It was about 12 plates which were all unique and delicious.- Valentin GuerinSeptiembre 10, 2016Great tapas (try the filet mignon tartare and the carrots), creative cocktails but the place is loud...
Tanya PanaFebrero 17, 2018Chef tasting menu , best way to go. Cocktails Are amazing! Cannot go wrong with anything U order !
