Quick answer
Casa Xolo is a seasonal, chef-led restaurant in El Sargento, La Ventana. On Wednesdays and Thursdays it offers tapas and an à la carte menu; on Fridays and Saturdays, an eight-course menu by reservation. Chef Fabiola cooks cocina de alacena, a pantry kitchen guided by the season, and the bar serves only Mexican spirits.
A seasonal kitchen: cocina de alacena
Chef Fabiola calls her cooking cocina de alacena: a pantry kitchen that starts with what the season offers and uses ingredients at their best moment. The menu changes because the season changes.
It is not a fixed list of dishes, but a way of cooking that rewards coming back.
Wednesday and Thursday: tapas and à la carte
Midweek evenings are relaxed. You can share small plates at the table or order from the à la carte menu, without the commitment of a long dinner.
It is a good choice after a day on the water or for a first visit to the house.
Friday and Saturday: the eight-course menu
On Fridays and Saturdays, the kitchen presents an eight-course menu inspired by the chef. It is available only by reservation, so write ahead, especially during the wind season.
Tell us about allergies or dietary needs when you book so the kitchen can plan.
The bar: 100% Mexican spirits
The bar is part of the same room, with twelve seats and no minimum spend. Every spirit on the shelf is Mexican, so dinner easily turns into a slow conversation over a good mezcal.
You can come only for a drink, too.
