I came here during my visit to Eugene because it popped under breweries. Compared to the other breweries here in Eugene it's ok, but where they really shine is their margaritas flights and the food. We tired the taquitos and tacos and they were fantastic. The margaritas were well made and all had noticeable differences in flavor instead of just tasting like strong different colored tequila. They have a shared outside patio area that's next to a coffee shop I believe, and inside there's plenty of seating as well. While I wouldn't put this on my must try list if you're checking out beer breweries if you are looking for some really good food and a place that does have their own beer that you can try along the way then they're worth checking out.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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!
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!!
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.
Went to meet friends for lunch. We usually get the nachos, but wanted to try something new. I got the Tacos Barbacoa and my wife got the Piquillos Peppers. Both were amazing! I had the house Margarita and it also was excellent. Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

After seeing a photo of their amazing tacos and seeing they had a Veganuary menu my wife and I decided to have a date lunch and we were so glad we did! It's a small spot off 32nd in the Amazon area but they use their space well. It's brightly lit, has a GORGEOUS mural on one wall and the tables are nice raw wood style tabletops. There are around 20 taps and cocktails. We started with a margaritas flight and color me impressed! We had lime, guava, mango and raspberry and the cute tiny glasses had a salt/red pepper rim that matched the real fruit mixers perfectly. Wonderful margaritas, and a great accompaniment to our meal. I had the vegan pozole and it was as good as the authentic pozole I had earlier this year in Puerto Vallarta. This one had a green tomatillo base with oyster mushrooms, hominy, red onion, Cilantro, avocado and the most amazing homemade chips. I was on heaven and sooooo full! It's a huge portion and I definitely had leftovers for lunch. My wife had the pork belly and barbacoa tacos. The homemade tortillas were wonderfully toothy and flavorful and she said the pork belly was divine. She said the barbacoa was tasty and flavorful too but she preferred the pork belly by miles. The staff was super friendly and helped us decide on our meal when we were indecisive with some many good choices! We rarely find a place that has food for both my meat eating wife AND one that meets my dietary restrictions. Over a third of their menu can be made vegan so we will definitely be back again and again! read more
A few months ago we tried their Salem location so we knew we had to try the Eugene location next! This one is definitely a lot smaller but the vibe is still there. The menus are also a little different but I loved everything we tried. No matter what you get you will be so happy, I promise! read more

Let me start with.... The service and staff could not have been more friendly! Great experience in that way. The margarita flights were awesome and very inventive, we loved them! Next.... We felt meh about the food when we left. The food was ok but not outstanding, there are other places I would go for high end Mexican in town. We ordered a few dishes to share for the table. They were good but not great. read more

I was so happy to finally give this place a try. The food and interior look so good in photos and I have heard nothing but great things from friends. However, I was hesitant to immediately stop in after opening because I knew how busy and popular they were going to be. Even though they have been open for a few months and the hype has settled, the place was packed on a Saturday night. I had to do the awkward hover at one of the tables as people packed up to claim possession immediately after they left. The food! Literally did a happy dance as I was enjoying my cauliflower al pastor empanadas. I also ordered the aguacate frito out of curiosity and that was also very delicious. It is such a breath of fresh air to eat food that is thoughtfully planned and prepared. You can tell that a lot of care and attention went into curating this menu. There is a negative, unfortunately. Xicha is, basically, one giant concrete box. So when there are a lot of people sitting inside it can be pretty loud and echoey. My poor,neurodivergent brain was having a hard time focusing due to the acoustics. I feel like this will be a nearly perfect experience for warmer days when we can sit outside. Nevertheless, I am a fan of this new Eugene business and will be a returning customer. read more

Delicious, perfectly executed, and visually appealing food!!! Great beers and margaritas too! We got the chips and salsa and were happy that the chips are made in-house, and they come with 3 variations of green salsas, plus black beans! Also got the patatas bravas as a starter and they were crispy, tangy, and totally delicious. I got the chicken taquitos and my hubby got a trio of tacos. The taquitos were beautifully garnished and placed over a bed of black beans. They were crispy on the outside and the chicken was tender and not dry. The tortillas for the tacos are fresh, thick and not at all dry. I also ordered a tasting flight of margaritas and every single one was delicious! The service is very friendly and very fast. Also the atmosphere is super chill and upbeat. It's very casual and fun. Love the patio outside that is shared with Provisions South. read more

Walking up at a peak time was daunting. No parking in the lot. Unorganized, people stalking tables as people finished their meals. Order up front and lady just stared into space as she took our order as if she was tripping. Literally told her we could'nt hear her and she just blankely stared at the wall. Tamarind margarita was fun but the margarita flights seem to be a huge draw. Expect just shy of 20 dollars for the flight. Chimichanga was mostly just beans and rice, some chicken inside was dry. Taco plate, chicken again was dry, do not recommend. Barbacoa was very mid. Pork belly was decent but not for 16$ for 3 tacos. Overpriced for crap service and mid food. Good attempt at an awesome spot but tacovore is definitely superior in this boujee Mexican market. read more

I really enjoyed visiting Xicha Brewing! It's in a great location and I like how open and bright the space is. They have a colorful mural on the wall which really adds to the overall vibe and a fair amount of indoor/outdoor seating. In terms of ordering - you place your order at the counter, take a number and then the staff brings your food out. I loved how quick and convenient the whole process was. Everyone was friendly and the food came out super fast as well. I got the Tacos Mix Plate which includes your choice of 3 corn tortilla tacos with rice on the side. I got barbacoa, chicken & shrimp. The barbacoa and shrimp were my favorite! My friend is a vegetarian and had the veggie empanadas. She absolutely raves about them and I think it's awesome they have options to appeal to everyone! I'm obsessed with the Margarita Flight! I've been waiting for a place in Eugene to start doing these! It did not disappoint, super cute and flavorful! I really loved the guava and mango. I definitely recommend this spot and can't wait to come back and try more on their menu! read more

Wow! So so so good! Everything was amazing! The service, the food, the drinks- 10/10! Everything was so fresh and full of flavor. Our table was so silent because we were too busy enjoying the food. Staff was great and friendly and I appreciated how close the environment was. Finding a table was a little hard, because they were so busy- but so worth it! Go try it asap! Don't miss out on the chips and salsa too! read more

A new fun brewery that recently opened up! I actually met some of the staff members during the soft opening and they were so helpful and kind! There isn't too much space inside but they do have the option of sitting outside! The food was delicious!! We all had the beef chimichangas and barbacoa tacos! Will be back soon to try other options! read more

Not your typical Mexican food place. Based on a friend's recommendation for beer and margaritas we gave this place a try. Ordered chips n' salsa which also came with a black bean did and guacamole. It was pretty good and I'm not a fan of black beans. My dinner partner tried two different beers, the Cerveza Negro and Chela. He preferred the Chela. I did the margarita flight which included lime, guava, mango and raspberry. My favorite was the guava. We had food too! He enjoyed the barbacoa tacos and I had the ximichanga with chicken. The two surprises were pickled onions on the side with the tacos and pickles cabbage with the ximichanga. It added a nice zest to the read more

Love this place! Just moved into the apartments upstairs and after a long day of moving this food hit the spot. The staff is super friendly, margaritas were delicious, and the chips and salsa came with way more than just salsa! The chips were very fresh and you got guac, 2 salsas, and black beans. Can't wait to try more! read more

Came here on a weekend for lunch, and I'm already dreaming of the next time I can come back! A friend and I split two orders of the "Mixto" taco plate, which meant we got six tacos total, and got to try one of each type. My favorite was the camaron (sautéed shrimp), my friend liked the barbacoa. The salad and rice and beans on the side were tasty, too. The tacos all come with homemade tortillas, and taste incredibly fresh. The place is clean and seating options are good. Staff is friendly. I'm looking forward to trying other food (and a drink!) on my next visit. read more

Great new addition to Eugene! It's a small location but they did a great job with the atmosphere and design. I wish there were a few more tables inside because they were packed when we went and the sitting is limited. It's counter service but the staff was super friendly and helpful. The beers and margaritas were great. The food was also really good. I preferred the pork belly tacos over the chicken and beef. All the shells are made in house. We also got taquitos, empanadas, and chips and salsa to try. None of it was greasy, like you get with other fried foods. The salsa that comes with the chips is bomb! I'm gluten free (not by choice) and they had lots of options and everything was labeled (thank you for that!) read more
