Xochi . restaurant

Xochi restaurant is set in the luxurious context of the Marriott Marquis hotel with an impressive, artistic space. The bar spans across a wall of glass that reflects light subtly. The tables are placed intelligently, not too fussy, creating a feeling of lightness and relaxation.

Restaurant owner and chef - Chef Ortega has been recognized locally, nationally and globally for his inspiring story and passion for sharing traditional Mexican cooking and culture. Xochi celebrates the flavors of Oaxaca with a new angle seen through the creative lenses of Chef Hugo, Chef Ruben and Beverage Director Sean Beck.

And Ortega's meticulously curated authentic Oaxaca cuisine is at Xochi's best, from grilled masa specialties and homemade cheeses to the intricate blend of chili peppers, nuts and seeds known as so-called mole. Xochi's menu also features tlayudas (baked tortillas with toppings), beans cooked with avocado leaves, and a variety of other very special, varied Oaxaca-inspired dishes. However, diners can still order familiar dishes such as suckling pig, goat, black-legged chicken or insects if feeling particularly daring.

When dining here, diners should not miss the desserts because they are made by chef Ruben, he is likened to the wizard of sweets with his incredible food shaping ability. The dessert menu is divided into two categories, one of which is devoted entirely to chocolate because handmade chocolate at Xochi is likened to a shining star and the platano crujiente (with wood-roasted bark and lemongrass flavor). ranked second.

The Xochi restaurant's excellent bar also offers different wines such as mezcals, tequilas and Mexican craft beers.

Xochi Restaurant was ranked #1 on Alison Cook's 2017 Top 100 Restaurants list at the Houston Chronicle.
