Went here for brunch, ended up getting lunch. Great looking and tasting tortas. Good place when all other places have a wait ????.
The churro was great but had a little more sugar then expected.

Amazing dishes for really reasonable prices. I had the BEST sandwich in my life - the Spicy Chicken Churro Sandwich. It’s the perfect balance of salty and sweet and I would do anything to be able to taste the sandwich for the first time again.
Everything else including the guacamole, tacos, and tortas were all amazing! Nothing was a miss.

Since moving away from Chicago, I have fantasized about the Ahogado torta and Cochinta pibil torta and it seems that even after 5+ years, XOCO still produces amazing quality sandwiches consistently and without a hiccup. There was an issue with the soup my wife ordered and the staff resolved the issue quickly and effectively. One of the most delicious/affordable spots for authentic Mexican fare.

This is a really nice restaurant with really good and tasty food. Note that it might get pretty busy around noon and afternoon. The staff is nice and attentive.
We ordered the almost naked nachos with spicy poblanos and queso fresco, and then a set of beef tacos and another one of vegetarian tacos. Everything tasted really good and it was very flavorful. For drinks, we tried the XOCO margarita and the americola.
The portions are bigger than you might get from similar restaurants, so make sure you keep some room for dessert.

A great lunch spot. The chicken sandwich is a unique deal. Sweet, savory, spicy, and $9 seems good for the area... Does not come with any sides. Love the location for meeting up outside. Guacamole is really good.

I was surprised how good churro sandwich tasted. The spicness of the chicken really complemented to the sweetness of the churro. I definitely enjoyed the sandwich. I wasnt much impressed by cuban though. It was okay

Extremely overrated. I ate a giant taco with some sauce on it. Taco was average and the sauces are not that good. My wife ate a kind of schnitzel, hot sauce with red onion pickles in a churro bun. Even if we are open to new tastes, this was just a sugary, hot, soured, salty weird mix. We ordered churros after and those were so greasy and the chocolate sauce was horrible. Staff was average. Highly not recommended.

Small spot (about 35 max occupancy) with counter seats and a few tables. You can see the chefs preparing the food in the open kitchen. Small menu with a few sandwiches and tacos - they also have huge corn tortillas with various toppings (the Tlayuda). This was incredible, it’s similar to what some people would call a “Mexican pizza” but better than anywhere else I’ve been. If you have been to his Fronterra restaurant the food is the same quality just in a more casual setting.

The margarita options are great - I got the mango habanero and it is delicious. The tacos are also pretty good, not the best ever but decent. I obviously didn’t get a ton, but from what I can tell the prices are really good. The tacos came with 4 tacos. I liked the salsa that came with it a lot.

Great place! We enjoyed everything we ordered from the margarita to the churros! Their seasonal special pork sandwich was so good! The sauce was great and enough! Their chicken sandwich was very delicious, too! The prices are very reasonable and their service is very good, too! Our waiter was very nice and kind. We enjoyed our time at XOCO and I highly recommend this place to all of you! Especially if you are visiting Chicago!
