Xochi Xochi – Goddess of the Flowers, and meaning to bloom or catch fire - from award-winning Chef Hugo
(5275)

Xochi (so-chee), from Xochitl, Goddess of the Flowers, meaning to bloom or catch fire, is a creative endeavor of award-winning Chef Hugo Ortega and the H Town Restaurant Group team. Xochi celebrates the culinary and indigenous richness of Oaxaca, Mexico and its varied geographic regions and preservation of primitive customs with an unrivaled menu of Oaxaca-inspired food and drink. Oaxaca is known

for mole, chocolate, mezcal and insects, which are all highlighted in Xochi’s menu. In keeping with tradition, everything is made from scratch, from cheeses, salsas, exotic moles, handmade tortillas and masa items fresh from the comal, and cacao beans roasted and ground in-house to create authentic Mexican chocolate. A variety of meats, seafood and vegetables are prepared in the wood-fired oven. There are even a few types of edible insects – delicacies in Mexico – on the menu! Xochi’s mole menu offers varieties from classic mole negro to mole de chicatana (ant mole). Dessert lovers will rejoice at the unique offerings, including a separate menu dedicated to chocolate. No trip to Oaxaca would be complete without Mezcal and Xochi offers close to 100 varieties of the area’s signature spirit, along with a unique selection of Mexican craft beers, inventive cocktails and a global wine list. We offer private rooms that are available for events, also our patio offers a view of Discovery Green Park and a view of bustling downtown Houston.

Dinner plans, solved. 🔥

We’re taking you on a five-course trip through Oaxaca—where mole is the main character (as it should be).

In Oaxaca, seven classic moles are celebrated—but hundreds more are crafted, each layered with tradition, depth, and soul. In this tasting menu, each course builds in richness and intensity, with every dish designed to showcase the mole at its center.

Think: blue masa tetela with pipián verde, seared scallop in mole amarillo, duck taco with tamarind mole, braised short rib in mole de chicatana 🐜 (yes, ant mole), and a decadent chocolate finale with mole negro to finish. ✨
(Trust us—you’ll want the beverage pairing.)
