Absolutely amazing! Colorful place, fast and wonderful service, and the food is some of the best authentic Mexican I’ve ever had! Highly recommend!

We LOVE Xcaret. The food and service are exceptional. My picky teenagers request this restaurant for a family night out, which speaks volumes. The tamales, soup and enchiladas are all excellent and the tres leches cake is to die for. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend. 7/20/24: Fabulous, as usual!! Amazing cocktails, appetizers, entrees and desserts. Always a favorite. Thank you, Sebastian, for the special attention and birthday wishes for our daughter!

Good quick lunch. Came by yesterday afternoon at 3pm and got a dos xx and enchilada with rice and beans. Food came out fast, it was not busy and an off hour. Good portion size, enchilada was stuffed with veggies. I liked the rice and beans. My server Carlos was very personable and hospitable. This is a nice place with authentic decor, bright colors and traditional paintings, artwork etc. I will be back for more!

Xcaret is an amazing Mexican restaurant, and the meals are very filling and worth the money! The waiters and waitresses are very nice, but these pictures don’t do it justice! I will totally return here!

We are in Winston-Salem for the week and have been to this restaurant nearly daily/nightly. The friendly atmosphere and specifically Sebastian the Bar Manager is AMAZING! His craft is constantly evolving and just in the few days we were here he was actively trying out new drinks, challenges and liquid creations. We were fortunate enough to “sample” some of his newest cocktails and I won’t disclose what they are but know you will be amazed! Sebastian “creates cocktails he does not make drinks!” If you like an Old Fashioned, he actually smokes the cocktail, it has to be witnessed. He is behind the “5” rating. The food was good and as I always say taste is subjective. I did not like the carne asada as it was tough and difficult to cut. However the tacos with steak and the chicken fajitas were enjoyable. The steak burrito bowl was good. I thought the salsa needed some heat and more cilantro and lime but once we added the spicy salsa to it we liked it more. All in all this is a very bright, friendly, inviting restaurant that delivered on making us feel welcomed and appreciated!

9.5/10 – Fantastic Food & Generous Portions! We had an amazing lunch at Xcaret Mexican Grill and Cantina in Winston-Salem! The mixed fajita for two was incredibly generous—easily enough for four people. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. We also tried the spicy margarita, which was delicious with just the right kick. The service was friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even better. Overall, we give Xcaret a 9.5/10 and will definitely be back! If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with large portions and great drinks, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

We had a great lunch! My burrito was yum, & I tried the Corona Sunbrew (also yum)! Great service, we got our food in less than 10 minutes.
