    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

    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.
    Kaydie N.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    On a work trip, I was looking for some great Mexican food and wanted to support a local restaurant…read more Based on the reviews, 1960 Cocina was near the top of my list. I was greeted right away and told to pick any seat. There isn't a traditional bar area, just seating throughout the restaurant. The space itself is really cute and welcoming, although it was very quiet with only one other table occupied during my visit. After looking over the menu and hearing both the online praise and my server's recommendation, I decided on the birria plate. It arrived in a reasonable amount of time. One small detail that stood out was the presentation--the consommé was simply spooned onto the plate, which made everything look a bit messy. The birria itself was tender and flavorful, but it still felt like it was missing something that would have made it memorable. The rice was disappointing, using a frozen-style vegetable medley with lima beans, which, in my opinion, didn't belong in the dish. The beans on the side were fine, but nothing particularly noteworthy. At $28, I expected better quality, a more polished presentation, or a larger portion. While the meal wasn't bad, it didn't live up to the glowing reviews or justify the price, and I left feeling underwhelmed.

Upon entering, we only were able to find high table seating on metal, backless stools and one low seater booth. I am physically unable to sit on those high stools due too balance issues because I have had Multiple Sclerosis for 16 years now. I may look " normal" while sitting still but my mobility and balance are an ongoing struggle in my life and has robbed me of so much. My husband got us waters then got in line when i noticed a sign on the table saying to please order before getting a table. My husband was already in line and ready to order and pay for our food. Less than a couple of minutes of me sitting there I was approached by a blonde staff member and she touched the table and asked me if I had someone in line to order. I replied that I did. She then told me that there's a long line building up and that I would need to leave the table because we hadn't yet placed an order. I explained to her that I am disabled ( even though I should not have to even do that ) and that I'm physically unable to sit at the high tables. That the only available low seats, inside and outside, were all taken other than this one booth. She then repeated what I had just told her and then asked again if I could only sit at the low tables, to which I replied yes. I was then told that I needed to leave the table and could go sit on a bench by the door and wait there and that the rules are for everyone regardless of the situation. I was so embarrassed and shocked that I started to tear up and told her that we would leave and went to motion to my husband that we had to go. As soon as we got to the car I started to cry and he was asking what was going on. He was so upset that he went inside to talk to the manager. He explained everything that happened and that I'm disabled and there was nowhere else for me to sit and eat. She apologized and said I could make a reservation to come back later for a low table. He told them no and that I was already embarrassed and crying. I'm trying to figure out how, since there was an open table that accommodated my needs and I was there, why this was such an issue. There was plenty of seating open but the tables were tall. What if there's another person unable to order for themselves because of a disability or they're elderly etc. ? Maybe make all tables low tables if a rule like that is being implemented? The business was happy to take our money but wouldn't give ea place to sit and eat. On a good note, we wound up going to Laughing Planet and had not only excellent service but really good food. I got the Korean BBQ Bowl with chicken, which they happily subbed for me, and it was so fresh and good. I really loved the quick pickles that came on it and would recommend it to anyone to try.

We got chips and salsa for free (a staple!) while we looked over the menu. I got the pollo a la crema and my partner got the steak fajitas. My food was great! It came with three tortillas, I got flour. My partner's food also came with three (flour) tortillas. You have a choice of corn or flour when you order. The chicken and crema sauce tasted so good! I wish I had a spoon so I could drizzle the sauce over the chicken in the tortilla but I just ended up dipping it instead and that worked fine. The steak fajitas were also good!
