Average Mexican food, give large portions and HUGE glasses of soda (probably so they don't have to refill as often).

When thinking of restaurants in Springfield that I enjoy, Xochi (for short) is one that always comes to mind. The food is consistently good, the atmosphere is friendly and I have never (NEVER) had bad service at any of the Springfield locations. (The Chatham location has had some questionable health violations...) If you are visiting Springfield and craving Mexican, do... More

I will be the odd one out based on the existing reviews. My husband and I stopped there late one evening just to get something simple and quick. It was quick but simple is not the word to describe the food. My husband and I are both Mexican and we grew up on authentic food and have enjoyed the great... More

We were excited to try a new Mexican restaurant, but was sorely disappointed. This was just average to poor Mexican even compared to the fact that we are from the Midwest. I'm sure there are better places to spend money for better food.

I've eaten here several times as it is near the Ramada Limited North. The food has always been good and promptly served.

Far better than the Iles location, atmosphere, large areas, and atmosphere. The service and food are better as well. Best Mexican restaurant in town. Fiesta fajitas are a MUST try for anyone who loves meat in heaping portions and variety. Two can split if easily and come away full.

Great, fresh food and you get it fast most of the time. The service is pretty good, although with some servers there is a language barrier, which may make them seem aloof to some diners. The host is the friendliest of all, although I don't know his name. The margaritas are good, although sometimes not as strong as others. The... More
