“ Extremely friendly, attentive, and helpful. Ulrich and his staff were incredible. The food was better though! The green enchiladas were so light, acidic and fresh! Just absolutely incredible. And then the quesabirria tacos were that deep rich comforting taco you crave. Had them with corn and flour. I know its a sin but the flour version was better! Will be back many times! ”
“ If you on the island give this restaurant a try. It was very delicious and unique!! We really enjoyed people watching while we ate. Each dish was delightful The cocktails were tasty and super fun! ”
“ We visited Xantolo in August 2025 for dinner. For started all Margaritas were 2 for 1 priced and were excellent. We had the Calamari, Shrimp Tacos and Tuna Tostados. The Calamari could have been crispier, it was a bit chewy. The other dishes were very good. The service overall was excellent. ”
“ We ended our stay on Isla with a fantastic dining experience at this wonderful restaurant. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was top-notch. Our waiter, Ulrich, was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. Every dish we tried was delicious, but the highlight was definitely my tacos al pastor—perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. It was the perfect way to end our time on the Isla! ”
