Xochi is set on the 1st floor of the Marriott Marquis Houston, across from Discovery Green. Xochi's menu is diverse, full of a number of distinctly Oaxacan dishes. Their menu features grasshoppers, a wide variety of housemade masas, an endless array of moles, housemade chocolate and of course, quesillo - a beautiful, stretched curd cheese that's wound into a ballOne of our favorite dishes at Xochi is their Tlayudas. Tlayudas are more or less an Oaxacan pizza, consisting of huge tortillas that are fire-roasted and loaded with toppings. We highly recommend giving it a try! Their delightfully crispy Tlayuda is covered with a spread of refried beans, asiento, cabbage, avocado, meat, Oaxaca cheese, and salsa.
