Our dinner at El Xolo was a very good experience, the place is very cozy and from the entrance all the waiters were very attentive, we were served by Alfonso who was very kind at all times and gave us recommendations and explanations about our choices, as for the food we were very satisfied, they are very good quality dishes inspired by food from our country prepared in a more gourmet way, in general everything was excellent, the service, the place and the food; I recommend coming to this place on a special occasion since it can be a little expensive but it is well worth it.

We had an excellent experience. The service was impeccable, and the entire staff was very attentive and professional. They take into account any foods you don't eat or your allergies. The food exceeded my expectations: delicious, beautifully presented, and with flavors that truly stand out. Definitely a place I want to return to. I always recommend making a reservation.

It was a truly worthwhile experience. The food was delicious and offered unusual options, yet still retained that authentic Salvadoran touch. I found it very interesting how they managed to creatively highlight typical Salvadoran ingredients. Regarding the service, I am grateful to Alfonso for all his kindness and attention, all with respect and professionalism.

The Xolo experience is something you have to experience :) the menu options are different, innovative, but surprisingly delightful.

The best experience to enjoy Salvadoran food and culture, each dish is unique and delicious!!!

5 stars in every way, a fully trained and friendly staff, exquisite food, and a truly worthwhile experience. Discovering new ways to enjoy local flavors is a must. We had the opportunity to have Chef Alex introduce us to one of his signature dishes, "Crudo de Pepitoria," which became my personal favorite. 100% recommended. The cocktails were a delight!

One of my favorite places to eat, always. I love the experience of discovering local produce and learning the history of the dishes. The service is incredibly attentive. I've visited many times and always have the best experience. As a Salvadoran, I'm proud to know there are places that elevate our country. The tasting menu is one of the best gastronomic experiences I've had, and the wine list is spectacular. The cocktails, of course, are the perfect pairing for the food.

The food was delicious and the experience superb. Alfonso served us, attentive from the moment we arrived until we left. He explained each of the dishes we ordered, which made the experience even better.

I wish there was a zero star to be given to this place. My review is lengthy, but the experience was just so bad.I visited home and wanted to take my grandparents to a nice experience dinner, along with my cousins. We were a party of 6. My flight was cancelled due to weather and the first thing I said was “let’s go to Xolos”. I was overly excited to experience this, especially with the people I love.We were greeted upon arrival and sat immediately, the server brought over TWO menus for a party of 6. Then the server just asked if we would like something to drink, to which I said yes, waters to start with please. Then he came back with a bottle of water and proceeded to fill only 4 glasses of water out of 6. Then I said, we would all like waters please, and he gave me a look and said “they’re paid, would you still like them” which I found incredibly offensive. There are many ways to communicate these things. - this was all done in Spanish btw-We proceeded to order some cocktails and then my grandfather wanted a soda- I asked the waiter what kind of soda they had. He replied with “no sodas, only San pellegrino aranciata rossa and aranciata” It was loud and dark in there, and I said I’m sorry, I don’t know what you’re saying. Then he was incredibly annoyed because he even rolled his eyes and said- they’re just orange sodas. So I switched to English to express my frustration to my cousin so she could help me, and as soon as I did the waiters entire demeanor changed and he finally asked if we had been before. To which I said no. And only then, did he start explaining everything to the table and what kind of experience we should expect.Across from us was a large group, being treated so nicely, servers explaining everything, and to my surprise, all of them with menus and waters.I was offended by how this waiter made my grandparents feel unwelcome, uncomfortable and unseen.This is supposed to be a top 50 restaurant in Central America. And what a shame that it holds such high title for the low class staff they have.I went up to the bar and asked for my tab for our cocktails and our water (that the waiter was so worried about us not being able to pay).The manager came over and tried to “fix” the issue. But the damage was already done.Get people who care, get people who make guests feel welcomed and seen. Get people who will leave a great lasting impression that is worthy of “Top 50”.Get people that will make guests want to come back for more. Even though I was so excited to try this place, out of principle, they do not deserve my patronage. I was greeted better at a restaurant around the corner, and my grandparents were so happy!Sadly, much like the rest of the world, if you’re white- go try it! I’m sure you’ll love it. If you’re not white, try speaking in English only, might have better luck than I did.
