The Take

Order the Arabica Beef or Chicken Tinga tacos on corn tortillas at XO Taco for handmade flavor and fresh salsas that actually stand out.

The place signals local foodie cred through creative fillings and happy hour margs, yet typical prep still leans on seed oils and flour options that keep it from being a clean win.

The Verdict

XO Taco delivers enough real flavor through handmade corn tortillas and standout fillings to earn a spot over generic chains.

It plays to the foodie who wants creative local vibes without full industrial slop, but the oil and crema warnings keep it from being a daily staple.

Order the corn tortilla tinga or Arabica Beef tacos and hit happy hour.
