    Indoor Seating
    Thalya C.

    Overall, it is a really nice place! There is indoor and outdoor seating available. A vibe for everyone: a quick dinner, drinks with friends, or I've even seen families with children dine-in. With ongoing events it is a nice place for any day of the week. The service is good, you really only place an order with servers and they might check in but it's sort of food cart style if you will. However, the few interactions I have had with servers has always been positive. The food is good, I've had the $10, 2 pupusa special and it's one of my favorites. The chips are really light and fresh, I would recommend them for a starter.

    We love this location because it's so much more roomy and many more tables. Half our table received our food pretty fast and then they got really busy so the food started coming out a little slower. The croquetas were delicious as always. The pupusas on special were yummy as well! The mixed taco plate was a little disappointing this visit because the two pork belly tacos the pork was overcooked almost too hard and crunchy to eat. The shrimp on the shrimp taco were plump and juicy. Can't beat the homemade tortillas. Another person at our table ordered the costillas (pork rib's) that were on special and loved them. It's a small portion so he ordered 2 tacos as well. His pork belly was overcooked almost too cooked as well but he enjoyed the shrimp taco also. We had a couple rounds of drinks and everyone went home full and happy. Until next time ~Cheers!

    Excellent food! Stopped in while road-tripping through Oregon and after a 8-mile hike in Silver Falls State Park, decided a beer was in order! The beer was good, I also sampled the chili-infused beer which was quite tasty without being overly spicy. I was REALLY impressed by the food! Very flavorful, good quality, and intersting options. Was disappinted that they were out of the smoked trout taquitos, but everything else we ordered (veggie empanadas, shrimp tacos, patatas bravas) were amazing!! They had several TVs which was nice to watch football, and the space was pretty ample with a pool table! I'd also give 5 stars for service alone - everyone was extremely nice and welcoming. Highly recommend!

    Great counter service... order at the counter and take a seat. Very good flight of Margaritas highly recommend. We had an amazing assortment of food. Taquitos, Short ribs and Chimichangas. The beef Chimichangas come with a Birria sauce.

    Finally made it over to the North Salem location after being loyal to the West side since I live near by. This spot is bigger, brighter, and has a ton of parking so no circling the lot like a hungry vulture. Perfect setup if you've got a big crew too! The line looked intimidating at first, but it moved faster than I thought. I went with my usual: the barbacoa nachos, because honestly, why mess with perfection? They're mouth-watering every single time. I've tried other dishes, but somehow the nachos keep calling me back. Also, if considering a fruity margarita( they're delicious and dangerously easy to drink. Super friendly service and bomb food as always. Highly recommend!

    We happened upon this place and the food, beer,staff and atmosphere was amazing. We just had a some chips and salsa, but everything looked amazing!

    Good and friendly customer service. The food was so delicious! We ordered nachos, taquitos and tacos. The pricing is pretty decent. Drinks were so good. Also keep in mind that this place has special events with live music and kid welcome till time of closing. This was on February 15 celebrating Valentine's Day.

    Xicha lager and a Paloma

    We ordered empanadas and tacos, husband had their lager and I had a Paloma. Service is fantastic, food is amazing!!! Was so surprised, being a Californian, that there is such good Latin food in Oregon. I had no idea!!! So good!

    My uneventful tacos!

    Our destination was known: Silver Falls State Park just outside of Silverton, Oregon. We wanted to enter the Fall season with a whiff of crisp mountain air and a mindful of epic photos of Mother Nature in full make up mode! We exited the park with an overflowing spirit of peace and an empty stomach ready to be refilled after conquering a few miles of lush trails. Not knowing what the local food scene was going to offer I looked for something familiar yet different, Mexican food with flavor and attitude but refined to the pallet and the mind. Xicha Brewing Company sold me with the dynamic duo of micro brew with some sopes. So we drove down the trail looking forward to a natural high. XBC is located in an upgraded strip mall that I'm sure housed a mechanic shop or a hair salon or maybe both. (You know how we cleverly combine things like jewelry stores and pan!) Walking into this joint reminded me of a college kitchen with some first semester murals. We were confused as to how things worked here so stood a bit dazed and confused for a moment. Eventuality we worked our way to the counter and found out quickly that it was an order and sit place. I quickly asked about the sopes because they were no where to be found on the menu. Only to find that the Sopes had been Iced, cancelled and kicked to the border. I did think of leaving and hunting down a different place but my OCD eyes quickly focused on the beer selection and decided to give this place a shot. I had to try a beer flight of four beers but the selection sounded like a second string list of Latino sports players. I had to try the Guava ribs, the Brava Potatoes, the three tacos and my wife was in the mood for some pozole. The beer flight never took off and did nose dive after the initial sips, they were simply flat and boring like an old tortilla! The Brava Potatoes were okay, just OKAY, they needed salt and maybe a shot some Mexican steroids. The Guava ribs were a bit dry, somehow the concept of Guava anything was lost in the overall flat taste, no salt, no flavor and no gusto! My three tacos were also flat, unexciting and boring! They needed some salsa, some love to bring them back to life. However the corn tortillas were very nice! Asking my wife about her pozole, she simply said "mine is a lot better." I was now hoping for a Hail Mary with or without a candle and asked about the Pumpkin Tres Leches dessert and the girl behind the counter mentioned to me that the desert was on the special 3 course meal and could not be offered as a separate item. Since when does Raza act all exclusive about food like that? She did however mention to me that she would ask about making an exception since my face was about to hit the floor! She came back during our uneventful dinner to tell us that the kitchen had said , no way Jose! She did try and console us by saying that it honestly wasn't that great! XBC is not a place for people that live in places with street food vendors on most corners of the city, people who want flavorful food and for people that would rather drink a cold Tecate! Do yourself a favor and just drive 14 hours and 32 minutes to LA, it might just be worth the trip!

    Hot churros with chocolate dipping sauce
    Lois M.

    My first time at this location, Xicha (at its other Salem location) has always turned out good food and tasty drinks - it was no exception at this North Salem location. To celebrate National Ceviche Day - and my birthday - I wanted to try their Ceviche Tostada Trio Especial, offered only this weekend. I'm so happy I made the trek into town to get this oh-so-yummy trio of crispy tostada shells filled to over-flowing with three different ceviches: shrimp, scallop, and salmon. Covered with chunks of avocado, thinly sliced jalapeños, chopped tomatoes and red onions, with lime wedges on the side as well as a tasty chili oil, the tostadas were mighty delicious. To quench the birthday thirst, I ordered a house Xicha margarita with a mango tagin rim and it did not disappoint. While I was eating, the kitchen sent out a plate of hot freshly made churros with a chocolate dipping sauce in honor of my birthday - what a cool surprise! Kudos to the staff! This location has a cool vibe with attentive servers (food delivery only - orders are taken at the counter) and delicious food and drinks. I will definitely be returning!

    The beef Nachos. Delicious.

    In addition to their fine establishment in West Salem (and one in Eugene, which I haven't been to), Xicha has added Xicha Brewing North in the 45th Parallel building (in the space formerly occupied by Vagabond Brewing). When I went in on grand opening day, I had to order both food and drinks at the main station, not at the bar. I stood for a while at the bar looking over the beverage options and even asked the bartender what he was making. None of the bartenders bothered to tell me I had to order at the other station. And they were either unfriendly or ignored me completely. So, if I can't order at the bar, how do I get a sample of their beers prior to buying? Every brewery or taphouse offers that option. I don't buy any beer at breweries that I've never tried, and I don't intend to start now. I'm not a big beer drinker anyway, so I was happy to see wine, cider, and hard liquor choices. I opted for the Sauvignon Blanc, which was very good, but pricey. Menu options: limited but very good: looks like the same food fare as the West location if I recall. They do have varied specials, though. As far as regular menu items, I'm particularly fond of the Smoked Trout Taquitos. I opted for the Barbacoa (Beef) Nachos as well. The beef quality was excellent, and the nachos were a nice blend of flavors. Plus, Xicha delivers an excellent presentation on both food and drinks. Since it was grand opening day, and they were super busy, I wanted to give them a little leeway on my rating. But in addition to the bartenders who ignored me and the odd layout, I got the wrong wine initially, which they promptly corrected. Then when I tried to order a different beverage option from the online menu via the Q-reader, I couldn't find the drink option my friend wanted. So, we waited in line (no tableside service here; they just deliver orders). When I got up to the register, I asked to have the drinks put on my tab. They had to ring me up a separate ticket from my table number, and I was told I'd have to pay at the table via my app for my initial order. What? Why can't I just pay for everything all at once? So, I get back to my table, and try to figure out the app but can't find an option to pay. We flagged down a server and asked if he could just bring out a portable paying device because I couldn't figure out the app and didn't want to wait in line again. He did, but I never got to see how much I actually paid, nor did I get a chance to tip (I did on the other transaction), nor did I get a receipt. (I did leave a cash tip later). To be honest, I've never been fond of using those dining apps. When I go out to eat, I don't want to utilize any tech. Just give me a menu and a good waiter or waitress and I'm a happy camper. They get style points for live music (but suspect this won't be a regular occurrence), and the food is fantastic. But they have to work out some kinks to equal the Westside location. I'm looking forward to see how this place blossoms, though. I've always liked this location and am happy to see it utilized once again. And I will return to give them another chance or two, so I can hopefully bump up their rating then.

    Dog friendly? ADA Accessibility?

    They are dog friendly but relegated to the patio. While decent in the warmer months. It is uncovered, so in the rainy season, it would certainly be weather dependent.

Favorites are Chicken Strips, Mac Attack, GilgaMary, several burgers and Korean Steak Bites. Sad to say the South Salem campus was slated to close on August 29, 2025 to make way for administrative offices for a carpet company. My final meal when I learned of the closure was the GilgaMary. A Bloody Mary with two skewers each holding a piece of soft pretzel, chicken wing, slider, drunken mushroom and bacon. A meal in itself!

She was so kind to our dog and made us feel so comfortable. We went with her beer suggestions and then she gave us a taste of the Mamba- their flagship beer- we loved it. Ambiance is 5/5 - the inside dining room and bar area are rustic & would feel very cabin-comfortable in the winter. The dog-friendly outside patio is surrounded by creekside foliage and the breeze that comes through the shaded seating area has a natural cooling effect during this hot summer day. The vibe is very relaxed and casual. Food is 5/5 - Happy Hour goes from 3-5:30 and they offer great value for food items on the HH menu. I had the pulled pork sando with side salad during HH and we split a spicy chicken sando with fries as well. The portions are generous and both items were good quality and fresh from the bun to the coleslaw on the pulled pork- everything was so good! The blueberry heffy & the Mamba ard delightful on warm days. We will definitely recommend Gilgamesh Brewing and look forward to returning to the area.
