This place is either love it or hate it. While I respect that people don't like this place, it's not trying to be something it's not. It seems that just because Xochimilco is in Mexican town and staffed with Mexicans, people expect it to be exactingly authentic Mexican food. If you want the most authentic mexican food on the planet, then this isn't your place. However, if you like the traditional American take on Mexican food, then this place is excellent. Personally, I like the American version of Mexican cuisine and I think that Xochimilco is good at providing that.
First, Xochi's is pretty easy to get to. It's really just a quick drive down the freeway from almost anywhere and it's just off the freeway like all of Mexicantown. Second, the staff is always friendly and they remember my friends and I from previous evening. Third, the food is good, it's served really hot, and it's served very quickly. Fourth, the chips and salsa are really good. Fifth, the prices are really good. You can get a huge meal for $6.
The restaurant and bar are open late and I believe they serve food until at least 2am on the weekends, if not all week long. They serve Mexican beers, margaritas and sangria. You can get margarita by the glass, liter, or half-liter.
If I wan't a cheap filling quick meal, then I never have a problem driving down to Xochimilco.
