About

Restaurant
Xochi (so-chee), from Xochitl, Goddess of the Flowers, meaning to bloom or catch fire, is a creative endeavor of award-winning Chef Hugo Ortega and the H Town Restaurant Group team. Xochi celebrates the culinary and indigenous richness of Oaxaca, Mexico and its varied geographic regions and preservation of primitive customs with an unrivaled menu of Oaxaca-inspired food and drink. Oaxaca is known for mole, chocolate, mezcal and insects, which are all highlighted in Xochi’s menu. In keeping with tradition, everything is made from scratch, from cheeses, salsas, exotic moles, handmade tortillas and masa items fresh from the comal, and cacao beans roasted and ground in-house to create authentic Mexican chocolate. A variety of meats, seafood and vegetables are prepared in the wood-fired oven. There are even a few types of edible insects – delicacies in Mexico – on the menu! Xochi’s mole menu offers varieties from classic mole negro to mole de chicatana (ant mole). Dessert lovers will rejoice at the unique offerings, including a separate menu dedicated to chocolate. No trip to Oaxaca would be complete without Mezcal and Xochi offers close to 100 varieties of the area’s signature spirit, along with a unique selection of Mexican craft beers, inventive cocktails and a global wine list. We offer private rooms that are available for events, also our patio offers a view of Discovery Green Park and a view of bustling downtown Houston.

    Tried multiple vegetarian options including queso de rancho, tacos, and enchiladas. Everything was okayish—flavorful but not mind-blowing. The ambiance was lovely though. But wow, the guava cheesecake totally stole the show. Creamy, balanced sweetness, tropical, and absolutely a banger dessert. Would return just for that.

    Visited here with a colleague during a work trip in Houston and had a terrific experience. Everything from start to finish, including the service, was outstanding. I don’t normally have the chance to eat Oaxacan cuisine, but each dish we had was delicious. Cocktail program was also robust and had some really fun mezcal/tequila drinks to try. And the dessert was so inventive and fun!!! Highly recommend visiting if you find yourself needing a dinner spot in Downtown Houston

    The service was impeccable and the food was truly outstanding. I had a reservation for two, and although my guest arrived a little late, they graciously seated me right away—something many restaurants no longer accommodate. Our server was incredibly sweet and patient, taking the time to walk us through the menu and offer thoughtful recommendations as first-time visitors. I ordered the sangria and guacamole tostadas. The tostadas were extra crunchy, but still enjoyable, and the flavors were excellent. Brunch was especially impressive—the variety alone was exciting, and they offer options to accommodate virtually every dietary preference. The location, right next to Discovery Green, provides a lovely view, adding to the overall experience. Since it was Valentine’s Day, they also had a beautiful photo backdrop set up, which was a thoughtful touch. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience with exceptional food and truly great service.

    It was my first time trying Oaxacan food, and I’m glad we visited Xochi! The mole and octopus was delicious! Drinks were also creative and the cacao dessert exceeded my expectations. An absolute must try! (FYI they have valet parking which is easier and more affordable than the nearby lot parking).
