Xochimilco Restaurant - Mexican restaurant in Detroit - 3409 Bagley St, USA

My girlfriend and her family used to come here as part of their tradition every time they visited Detroit. I had never been here until this past Saturday. The restaurant is cute and full of character- You can tell the walls hold lots of stories. The bar is full, and the menu is large! I got a salad and my girlfriend got tostadas de frijoles. This restaurant has authentic Mexican dishes and delicious food/drinks.

When I first walked in, I couldn't get over the scent of ammonia in the air. This was kinda skewing my perception of the place, but the smell faded. We were seated very fast. The server was extremely kind and professional and continued checking on us. We ordered the botana to split at the table. It was beautifully prepared but kinda difficult to eat. The tacos were crunchy and had a nice flavor profile. Overall, it was a pleasant lunch experience.

Xochi’s has been my favorite restaurant in Mexicantown for as long as I can remember. Service was great on a Saturday afternoon and food always comes out fast. Had the single chimichanga meal with chicken and husband had the bean, meat & cheese burritos. Great place to eat if you’re downtown and craving Mexican food.

Visited this restaurant back in 2018 as a tourist from Hungary. It was an absolutely amazing experience. Staff was supercool and kind, and the food was delicious!! Im surely visiting again when im around!

Stable in the southwest area. Some of the items are Tex-mex, but they have traditional Mexican items too. So best of both world. I also like their mural at the parking lot.

Xochimilco has been a staple in my life for many years. I have many fond memories of coming here. As far as dishes go, I recommend traditional choices, such as Menudo or Carne a La Tampiqueña. For all those predictable people out there who don’t like to deviate 😂 I still recommend either a combination, or just about anything from the middle section of the menu. Whatever your decision…..¡Buen Provecho!

We came out to eat with a party of 14 on a Sunday. They do not reserve seating, but they were awesome enough to set us up in a space where we could all be together. It took about a half hour to wait for the tables to empty, but that wait was entertaining. There was a lot to do in the immediate surrounding area, such as watching a live band, looking at murals and street art, visiting the shops, and walking over the pedestrian bridge. Once we were inside we sat down and had chips and salsa waiting for us, our server was outstanding and completely on top of everything. Super grateful for Jose. Our party got a variety of different foods and drinks. I got the chicken tacos, my husband got the beef burritos, and my step-daughter got the beef quesadillas. I won't list all 14 orders . We all loved our food. The rice and beans are the show stoppers really. I absolutely loved the atmosphere of this place. It wasn't bright (I hate bright restaurants.) It was mid light which was perfect and the building was old and beautiful. The servers and kitchen staff and chefs did such an amazing job yesterday. Thanks so much for the experience.

We were seated almost instantly. Our server was so friendly. We immediately got fresh chips and salsa with water. The lighting is a little too dim. I could barely read my menu. Our food didn't take long to come out and everything tasted great. The biggest thing that was off-putting was where we sat. It was in the dining room directly on the other side of the wall where customers come in. The people waiting were looking over the wall and talking loud. The manager stood right in the doorway of the room we ate in. So he was basically over my left shoulder and watching the whole time. And I could see and hear all the wait staff in the server aisle. So, it was pretty loud and distracting plus I felt on display. Luckily, I had great company to keep me entertained and good food to enjoy.
