Review Xicohtencatl - Great Barrington

Passing by this place around dinner time so we decided to give it a try. It was very pleasant to get an outside table. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. We got the T-bone steak and the fajitas with chicken. Both were very flavorful and tasted good. The food is a bit more expensive but worth the price (the $2 salsa was not a good deal though). The restaurant became busy after 6 pm. Great place.

The food here was delicious. The carnitas was the best we've ever had, and the mole was authentic. On top of that, our server Magali was wonderful. Her demeanor was friendly and welcoming, and she made sure we had plenty of water and pico.

Nice place with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was very good and fast. Food was good but a little pricey for the portions. Nice drink menu too with good margaritas. The mole mixed with the rice was delicious.

This is really the best Mexican food in the region; organic beef and local vegetables, traditional music and beautiful decor make this a fine dining experience. The restaurant has been in this location for more than 20 years and has received many accolades so it is hardly a secret but I’d not been in a few years and had forgotten how good it really was. Very excellent in every way.

The food was extremely fresh, the service attentive and generous, and the kitchen incredibly fast. A great experience all around.

Super fun mexican restaurant serving surprisingly good food. Loved the mole chicken, snapper, and nachos. Drinks were large and strong.

If you want truly amazing, authentic, fresh and delicious Mexican food, this is the place!! Wow! Everything is cooked to perfection by master chefs! I had the carnitas dish that was out of this world and the guacamole was the BEST that we have ever eaten! I also had a margarita that was exceptional! Last but not least, the service was A++, with very attentive and caring servers! We will definitely return to Xicohtencatl Restaurant the next time we’re in Great Barrington! Hands down—it is one of the best restaurants anywhere! Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area!!

My husband and I are from out of town and just happened upon this restaurant. Loved the atmosphere! The inside was very cutely decorated and the word that comes to mind for the outside seating is "oasis". It was fairly busy but we got seated right away. Initially we were seated right near the door with a lot of staff and patrons coming and going so we asked to move to a table tucked in the corner that was empty. Once we got moved, I think we got a little forgotten about. It took about 10 minutes to get water and put in a drink order. Once we were finished our meal, it seems like we sat for at least 15 minutes before getting the check as well. I had the tequila sunrise and my husband had a house margarita. Both tasted reasonably strong and were tasty! For dinner, I had the carnitas burrito. I consider myself a "carnitas connoisseur" and this burrito did not disappoint. My husband had the nachos appetizer as his meal and was also happy with it. If we are in the area again, I'd look forward to going back and trying a few other things off their menu!

A very nice, chill.Mexivan place. The food is good, although not breathtaking. One gripe is that it is definitely NOT spicy - which i guess may be an adjustment for local taste. In any case, it is definitely nice and worth dropping by, although not making a special trip to.

I highly highly recommend their chicken tostada it was like heaven ! I am from Arizona and coming to eat here made me feel right at home with authentic Mexican food . I judge a place by its rice and beans and theirs blew me away. Definitely coming back again and again.

Vibrant colors welcome you to the outdoor and indoor dining areas. Twinkle lights and a good vibe were so comforting and fun. Our food was delicious. The staff was excellent, kind and caring. I would have preferred a hot tea and hubby a hot coffee but for some reason only cold beverages are served at this time. Even so, you will not regret stopping over and having authentic Mexican cuisine.

The food was out of this world! My husband and I couldn't believe how amazing the food was. Great options, far beyond your typical Mexican-American options. When we couldn't find the perfect option for our 7 year old picky eater; they were willing to make something off menu for her. We didn't have reservations, totally my fault, but they were able to seat us within 15 minutes during a very busy Friday night. The service was outstanding! We will return to Great Barrington just to visit here again.

We loved the ambiance here and the servers were very nice. The food was great!

Sitting on the porch on a beautiful evening was nice. The margaritas 🍹were amazing! (mango/passionfruit with sugar) Our apps/food could of used a little more seasoning and spice. I added hot sauce..The Tré Leche Cake was okay.. I've had better.....but overall...loved it!

Delicious authentic Mexican food, the best part it’s family own. Support the local business. The staff are super friendly and attentive. Great margaritas!

Server was great, he was attentive and knowledgeable. Food on the whole was very good. The guacamole was some of the best I've had. My wife had some sautéed calamari and they were delicious. The entrée we split was the especial mole poblano. The mole was amazing, however the boneless chicken was very dry and over cooked. Next time I would get the bone in chicken. The margarita's were also very tasty. We will be back next time we are in the area.

The food here is always delicious. Drinks are nice and strong. Place is clean and bathrooms too. Staff is nice and friendly. Highly recommend the molcajete dish its a fajita bowl with chicken. Such fresh ingredients, guac is delicious

Sat at the bar because it was busy but they got us in. The food came out quick the appetizers came out with the main courses. Drink came out quick, bottled beer and a special margarita. The mole was amazing. The sauce of the fish tacos was excellent as well. Try this place you won't be disappointed.

Friendly staff, prompt service, tasty food! The sea bass was exceptional and the enchiladas rojas were quite good too, although the sauce was a little thin. The Mexican hot chocolate and red sangria accompanied the food quite nicely. We were too full for dessert but it looked great too. Lots of kids in the restaurant and everyone looked happy. This is a popular place! It was hopping when we were there on. Saturday evening.
