A little reminder of something we’re incredibly proud of. ❤️

Last year, Eater Twin Cities called our taco omakase “unlike anything you’ll find in Minnesota.” That recognition still means just as much today because it celebrates what we’ve always set out to do share our family’s story through the flavors of Guatemala, Mexico, and the Midwest. *Full article link in bio

A huge thank you to for taking the time to experience our restaurant and tell our story so thoughtfully. We truly appreciate it.

One of the best parts of our omakase is that it’s always evolving. The menu rotates with the seasons, new ideas, and the ingredients inspiring Chef Cristian, Chef Jose witj drink pairings by Zoilo.

Whether you’ve been meaning to join us for the chef’s table or you’re coming back to see what’s new, we’d love to have you.

Reservations for both our rotating Omakase experience and à la carte dining are available. We can’t wait to welcome you to Xelas.

To Chef Tim McKee, Chef Tyge Nelson, Chef Matt Bickford, Chef José Cortés, and our own Chef Cristian De León thank you for sharing your talent, creativity, and passion. Every course told a story, and together you created something truly special.

Thank you to Zoilo Ruacho for crafting the perfect beverage pairings, our amazing team for making the night run seamlessly.

Most of all, thank you to our guests. Your support allows nights like this to happen, and we can’t wait to do it again.

🏆 National Chamoy Day calls for a champion. 🌶️🍉

Meet the Jamaica Me Crazy Margarita — our award-winning watermelon hibiscus margarita that took home top honors at the GrillFest Margarita Battle.

Made with fresh watermelon, hibiscus, lime, tequila, and finished with our signature house-made chamoy rim, it’s the perfect balance of sweet, tart, and spicy.

What better way to celebrate National Chamoy Day than with the margarita that put Xelas on top?

Some dishes just belong at the center of the table.

Our slow-roasted pork shank is cooked low and slow until fork tender, then served with black beans, rice, pickled onions, cilantro, warm tortillas, and house-made salsa.

It’s rich, comforting, a little messy, and exactly the kind of meal that makes you slow down and enjoy dinner with the people around you.

Join us at Xelas and see why this has quickly become a guest favorite.

Most people know tequila.

Fewer have explored mezcal, raicilla, and the incredible diversity of agave spirits found throughout Mexico.

At Xelas, every bottle on our shelves represents a place, a producer, and a tradition worth sharing.

Sip slow. Stay curious.

We'll handle the rest.

Father’s Day is about more than great food it’s about celebrating the men who taught us, supported us, sacrificed for us, and showed us what family means.

Join us at Xelas by El Sazón on Sunday, June 21st for a Father’s Day buffet inspired by the flavors we grew up with and the traditions that bring us together. From dishes fresh off the comal and seafood favorites to breakfast classics, desserts, handcrafted cocktails, live mariachi, and music all afternoon, we’re creating a celebration worthy of Dad.

Not all salsas are created equal 🌶️

At Xelas, our salsas are built the same way we build our food layered, intentional, and full of flavor. Some are smoky from fire-roasted chiles, some bright and herbaceous, others rich from toasted seeds, slow-cooked ingredients, and recados inspired by out roots.

They’re not just there for heat.
They’re there to completely change the taco, the bite, the experience.

One salsa might remind you of something comforting and familiar… another might have you sweating a little halfway through dinner 🔥

Every batch is made in house, every salsa has its own personality, and honestly… there’s nowhere else doing it quite like this.

The hardest part is choosing your favorite.
