At the heart of the dining room is a traditional robata grill, where skewers of meat, seafood, and vegetables are cooked slowly. The result is smoky, caramelized, layered flavor — bright citrus, deep umami, and heat that lingers. Our beverage program mirrors the kitchen — tequila, mezcal, and Japanese whisky layered with herbs and citrus, alongside spirit-free drinks crafted with the same intention.

    Solid Mexican restaurant for margaritas (classico & guava). The guava margarita has jalapenos so don't be fooled, it has some kick! Menu is robust with lots of options depending on what your appetite looks like. Starting with chips & salsa--salsa is homemade. Salsa verde looks tame, but has a lot of post-bite fire. the chipotle is very smokey and provides a nice balance against the verde. I went there for the queso fundido and it did not disappoint. I will say that it wasn't as oily as others that I've had... I'm not sure how I feel about it. The creaminess and flavor of the cheese was great, but I do like having that liquid oil on top..... good amount of chorizo. The cheese quesadilla was great---well-proportioned, fresh guac, nice to have the sour cream on the side. The Camarones Xochitl was also delicious--looks benign, but has a mild kick afterwards. Service was attentive, polite, helpful. Endless supply of chips + salsa. Friendly. Thank you!

    Outstanding Mexican Food in a great atmosphere. We went on Sunday and they always have a Live Mariachi which made for a very festive atmosphere. The waitress service is very good. They are attentive and really want to make people feel good and taken care of. It will be better if they can coordinate the drinks with the food better. We went through appetizers and part of the entrees before we got our drinks, which we had ordered way before all the food.

    Great experience at Culichi Town. The food was flavorful and came out quick, and the vibe was fun and lively. Service was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. Definitely a spot I’d come back to with friends or family.
