Irvine Mexican Food - Xacalli Kitchen 🌵🌮

It’s literally in the middle of nowhere—suddenly there’s a Mexican fine dining spot, feels kinda surreal 😅 At first, it was pretty empty, but later it actually got quite crowded. The food was decent though, and you could tell the kitchen put effort into plating 🍽️✨ We tried: 🦆 Pato con Mole Negro – Duck with black mole sauce 🌊 Agua Chile Negro – Spicy black shrimp ceviche 🥩 Carne Cruda – Raw beef dish 🐙 Pulpo – Grilled octopus 🍖 Birria – Slow-cooked stew The last pic shows a complimentary mini shaved ice dessert 🍧 Overall, the food was tasty! If it were closer, I’d go again—maybe after a hike nearby 🥾💚 📍 28222 Silverado Canyon Rd, Silverado, CA 92676 #FoodReview #EatPlayExplore #FoodDiary #IrvineLife #IrvineEats #MexicanCuisine #TacoLove #HiddenGem #MiddleOfNowhereEats #SoCalDining #HikeAndEat
