    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.

    Our family really enjoys having dinner at Xicha. The wide variety of beer they brew is most excellent. The margarita flights are pretty awesome too. My granddaughter goes nuts over the chimichangas while her mom flips over the shrimp tacos. As for me, I'm a fan of their Cubano sandwich. It's like being in Havana. For a fun and very tasty night out you can't beat Xicha.

    Empanadas

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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!

    beer flight
    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!!

    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.

    Mango, tamarind passion fruit and guava margaritas!  Guava was the favorite for all of us!
    Danielle A.

    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.

    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.

    Pork belly and barbacoa tacos with homemade tortillas.

    See all

    We went to their new public house for dinner on a Wednesday and the place was hopping. Their new…read morebuilding is very cool (and not quite done yet!). The new public house is pretty much behind their original spot, overlooking Coburg Road. We sat in a booth with very tall walls that felt very private but I don't feel like I could tell you the vibe of the rest of the restaurant. Since I was sitting in the back of the booth, I could only see two other tables that were along the windows and the traffic going by in the dark. Next time we'll ask not to sit in a booth so we can see more of the restaurant. Our server informed us that the public house was split into two sections. We were in the full-service restaurant part and there was a more casual (order at the counter?) section by the front door for people that just wanted to grab a beer and sit at a communal table. Our server was excellent. Not the typical Eugene service from him! He answered our questions about the beers and brought us tastes and had all the answers ready about the food. They were out of two things (understandable at such a new spot) but I noticed that they had already changed their menu a few times in the few short weeks they've been opened. Yay for seasonal menus!! Our party went super basic and we all ordered the Butter Burger (the butter is mixed into the patty so it helps the burger caramelize) which came with fries. We also split the grilled potato salad(served chilled), which was a good sized portion to split with our group of five. My kiddo got the wings (sauceless) and fries. We'll be back to try more of the menu items and sit at a table without walls.

The beer I tried Minute After Midnight was very good and thoroughly enjoyable. Now for the downside. The food. The Butter Burger resembles a regular McDonald's hamburger, the patty is grossly over seasoned and completely unenjoyable. As shown in the picture the bun was burned on the inside and the outside. It was very unpalatable. The Pretzel was large and warmed through nicely however the overall quality of the pretzel was that of a common bulk discount store. They placed four very small slivers of cheese on it that did very little to improve the flavor and appearance of the pretzel. That being said the mustard dipping sauce was very good. The French fries were spot on and very enjoyable particularly with the garlic aïoli that was served with the unimpressive hamburger. And finally let's get to the Delicata squash , unfortunately I will spend the rest of my life trying to remove the taste of that culinary disaster from my taste buds. The appearance of the dish is a complete disaster the aroma is as repulsive as wondering into a public bathroom shortly after someone spent far too long blowing up the toilet. I made the mistake of tasting it, that left a mark. The texture was the best thing about the dish with as poor as the texture was. The flavor was so putrid that I had to spit it into a napkin. It was a totally unpleasant experience. The ambience was warm and inviting. It would've helped if they had a section where kids could be, so the noise does not bother the customers that went to an adult location like a taproom to enjoy an adult beverage. I do believe this establishment does potential. The servers are amazing and the beer I tried was excellent. They do however need to fire whoever has created the menu and the recipes. The food is truly a crime against humanity. I truly hope they can get the quality of the food under control. I would be willing to give them another try if in fact the menu and food is corrected.

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.
