    The sister restaurant to Traif, Xixa (shik-sa) has a number of excellent dishes, such as the foie gras al pastor and skirt steak. Come with a group if possible to get the tasting menu.

    do the tasting menu (a great deal at $55); you'll leave stuffed and it'll spare you the agony of deciding which dishes to try

    Delicious food and a great staff. The carrot dish is very good but sweet. You can skip the pasta dish, it was definitely not the highlight of the meal but still pretty good. The corn was spectacular.

    The menu consists of classic Mexican dishes with a twist. Highlights include Mexican staples as well as more experimental dishes, like grilled octopus and Mayan hummus. Leggi tutto

    Insanely delicious food. Lean on the amazing wait staff to give you great rec's as you sip on a deconstructed cube cocktail made in house.

    While the long menu is a little hit-or-miss, the good dishes on this loosely Mexican menu -- like the "fricco-dilla" and Thai esquites -- are superb. Wine and agave spirits to drink.

    What a jem! Great atmosphere, with delicious food. The Arctic char tartar, grilled octopus and fish tacos were incredible. The guac and roasted carrots are also great. Well definitely come back.

    Ask about the tasting menu, one of the best values I've come across. You get 9+ courses, with dessert, for $40. The fois gras with roasted pineapple & a riff on "french toast" was especially amazing.

    The 8-10 course tasting menu for around $50 is absolutely worth it. You get nervous you won't be full around meal 5 but by meal 8 you're stuffed. The tequila cube are novel but not that great imo.

    Go tasting menu and settle in for an amazing meal. Request either the foie gras al pastor or the steak tartar & marrow tacos. Sip on a old fashioned cube that's actually made with mezcal & enjoy.

    Menu can be a little hit or miss but the perfect amount. The grilled carrots, the salmon and corn, and the red velvet cake (especially the cake) were absolutely amazing and make it worth it.

    Very good modernized Mexican. Not $$$$, more like $$$. Cocktails are great. Must orders: fish tacos, garlic shrimp, carrots elote

    Always on the lookout for unique cocktails.. This little hidden gem of a place serves amongst its curiosities- "deconstructed" drinks made of ice cubed cocktails topped with your choice of shot!

    This is one of the best reataurant in Williamsburg! They serve reinvented Mexican tapas. Everything was delicious, especially the duck lettuce wraps, the ceviche and the tacos. Service is excellent!

    We had 10 dishes for 4 people. Rolled away way too stuffed but it was worth it! Fav dishes were the duck wraps (love the banana) and the short ribs (insane)

    One of the best meals of my life. Do your own tasting (bigger portions/slightly less $). Highlights: Drunken Shrimp, Foie gras al pastor, Baby Octopus, Grilled carrots elote, Guacamole of artichokes

    #DubiDO #FabuLIST 5 plates for two was perfect. Get spicy shrimp tostada, roasted burrata, fried brussel sprouts, carnitas, and pork belly sliders. One of my all time fav meals!

    Yes! Some of the better Mexican tapas I've ever had. And some seriously strong drinks (that look badass!). Next time I'll come really hungry and do the chef's tasting menu!

    Delicious and very creative food with a cool yet comfortable ambiance. The "rice and beans" and carnitas were incredible, as was the spicy shrimp "gorditas" which had a wonderful Japanese flair. Yum!

    Not as popular as Traif (it's sister restaurant). but just as tasty! Food skews greasy and salty, but it's well balanced and the flavors are focused. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

    Possibly one of the best mesican restos in the city. All the drinks and food were delicious. Highly recommended.

    If you are here with 3 or more people, get the tasting menu. At $40 it's a great value and takes the guesswork out of ordering tapas-style plates from such an extensive menu.

    Tasting menu is the way to go. One of the best meals of my life. Can't miss the Barbacoa, bone marrow, and churros. Well done Xixa!

    Xixa and Traif are two of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn. The foi gras is delicious, the service is excellent. Can't say enough nice things.

    Best restaurant in Williamsburg! Can't go wrong with a big plate to share (especially the short rib) and make sure to try a deconstructed cocktail.

    Can't say enough good things! Unique tapas and the service is always excellent! Little extras at the start and finish of the meal are great treats.

    So many good vegetarian dishes (carrots and the polenta were my favs) plus super unique deconstructed cocktails. Additionally, the jalapeno ice cream, spicy! Love.

    Both guacamoles are amazing. Same counts for short ribs, rice with beans, and the whipped ricotta and fruits dessert. It is quite possible that every dish is delicious.

    Came to try the Foie Gras Al Pastor but was absolutely blown away by the Grilled Carrots Elote. Inventive and delicious.

    Fun, interesting, and flavorful tapas. Try either guacamole and the crab tamale. Gotta add that they play great music, intimate vibe - perfect for date night.

    Tasting menu = outstanding. Venison osso bucco, brussel sprouts, fried octopus pasta and dessert spread are top picks. Excellent tequila menu. Attractive wait staff.

    Thursday night’s cantina night: buy a drink, soak it up with a chef’s choice of complimentary small plate. It made me fall back in love with food all over again

    I'm shocked that this place isn't slammed every time I go, yet I am glad it's not. Everything here is spectacular. All the mezcal.

    Steak tacos with bone marrow steak tar tar. You should also get the foie gras al pastor and grilled carrots.

    Yes: winter guacamole, vegetable fajitas. Chicken wing confit has good flavor but the double wings are kinda inefficient

    Tip for couples: 5 dishes, a drink each and dessert will cost you a lot less than the Chef's tasting menu and it will be enough food.

    Butter garlic shrimp and osso bucco are standout dishes. But really, after 11 different items, everything was great.

    Do the chef tasting and the mezcal and anejo flights. A great food experience for something tucked away in a corner of williburg.
