"Tip: Book in advance especially for dinner, it was busy at 6pm on a Thursday evening. The ambience was good, service could have been faster but the restaurant got busier as the night progressed. Basque cheesecake was on top of the world, Flan was avaerage. Waffle churros worth a try. Shrimp entree was good. Guacamole was fresh too. Avoid chicken wings and fried Cauliflower. Drinks selection was great, mezcal was amazing too. Enough options for vegetarian"
"First of all...the fact that this restaurant is a dedicated Celiac friendly spot is HUGE! My son and I took a trip to San Francisco and we went here two days in a row. The same servers helped us and were so amazing to converse with. The food is stellar! So good! First time having Gluten Free Churros which came in a waffle form. Delicious. Many options can be Vegan if preferred. Live music on some nights as well!"
"1st time in San Francisco. My wife is gluten free. This means she calls the shots on what we can eat. I was amazed with the options that popped up for gluten free restaurants. We chose XICA! Amazing place. A nice twist on Mexican Classics, friendly fast service, and amazing bar menu! Don’t miss out on this amazing place. The plates are well served! Coming from an extensive restaurant background, I look for the servers carrying out the dishes from the kitchen. Everything looked delicious. Quesadillas, taquitos, street tacos, bowls and more. We had a little BOTANA… Elote wings, Asada fries and Asada Street tacos! All spot on! Salud… XICA!!!"
"Great food and service. Had the enchiladas and they were amazing. Using fresh masa tortillas, covered in red/ green sauce that was finger licking worthy. Also had the papa tacos, very great. They also had gluten-free options."
"XICA restaurant in San Francisco is a must-try for anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Mexican meal, especially if you have dietary restrictions. I was particularly impressed with the quality of the food and the fact that they have a gluten-free kitchen. I started with the guacamole and chips, which were made with fresh, ripe avocados and perfectly seasoned. The chips were crispy and warm, and the guacamole was creamy and flavorful. For my main course, I had the chicken enchiladas, which were made with tender chicken, mole sauce, and melted cheese. I was also able to order the enchiladas with gluten-free tortillas, which was a huge plus for me. Overall, I had a wonderful dining experience at XICA. The food was exceptional, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was lively. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Mexican meal, regardless of their dietary restrictions. In addition to the above, I would like to emphasize that I was particularly happy with the fact that XICA has a gluten-free kitchen. Someone in our party has celiac disease, and it can be difficult to find restaurants that offer gluten-free options. XICA, however, has a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, which means that I can order anything on the menu with confidence. I am so grateful to XICA for making it possible for my family to enjoy a delicious and authentic Mexican meal without having to worry about getting sick. XICA is also kid friendly."
