If you eat in one restaurant in San Cristobal make it Xut. The food is prepared lovingly with great attention to local ingredients and cultures. The service is excellent. We ate there once and never went back to another restaurant the entire three weeks we...were here. The chicken in mole is the best mole I have ever had in Mexico. It’s off the main pedestrian routes by a few blocks but it outshines those tourist places by a mile. If you want authentic Chiapas food, served with elan and friendliness, you couldn’t do better. Not only that, but chef Marcos is the nicest guy you’d ever want to meet. Go here. You won’t regret itMore

Superb food, some slightly quirky dishes which works really well. It was very quiet when we were there which was a shame, as the atmosphere would have been better with more people, but the quality of the food was more than enough to make up...for this.More

The food is fantastic. I had a spinach salad with hierbabuena and olive oil ice cream. A crazy idea but it worked! The service was a bit mixed as our main meals came at different times so I found myself watching my friends eat for...quite a while.More

A little outside of the tourist streets, Xut blew us away on every front. The food was some sort of fusion between Mexican and European styles we still can't describe, and the tastes were almost Michelin star worthy but without the fuss and the frills....Dishes like wild tomato soup, coffee and chocolate marinated beef and stuffed chicken in mole negro all sound good on their own, but Xut takes it to the next level. Fresh tastes and rich flavours, unexpected combinations and all was cooked to perfection (and surprisingly light to digest too!). The atmosphere was relaxed and the staff was attentive, friendly and clearly very skilled. We did not see this coming, and it was a very, very pleasant surprise.More

We came here for the positive reviews and we loved the place. It's the first place in San Cristobal that lived up to the reviews in our experience. My wife had the pork and I had the abondogas. Both were great. They also have local...artisan beer - the stout was great. Service was good and prices were cheaper than other similar places.More

What a fabulous place for a meal, even during covid. My daughter had been before with her family and now brought us…..but made us sit outside. No problem, we were….almost…..dressed appropriately. The service was good, and even in English, and the food was even better....It was all beautifully presented and delicious. We all had bits of everyone’s and all were gobbled up. We were really too full for postres, but had two anyway, which were excellent and good. Definitely a place to visit again.More

The tuna tartar and chicharon arrachera were favorites. The gorditas and empanadas were also great. Workers seemed overwhelmed, perhaps short staffed, and warned us our food would take longer than normal to come out. We stayed anyways but saw others decide to go elsewhere. Glad...we stayed because though the waiter took a little while to take our order, once he did the food came out soon after. Highly recommended.More

We came here for dinner for our last meal in San Cristobal and very glad we chose Xut. The space is pretty cool with a nice courtyard, as well as in house dining areas. They provided a free appetizer of Dorados with a blue cream...cheese side, which was a nice touch and delicious. We had the vegetarian pasta and that was a good serving size and tasted nice too. On a whim we also ordered the deep fried Oreos and OMG they were awesome!! They were like fried icecream balls but filled with Oreos instead. They came with and ice cream and strawberries too, so delicious!More

Few blocks off the main drag which is nice and peaceful. The best home cooked, authentic food, using ingredients typical to the Chiapas region. The quality was excellent, and we got a free little starter. The outdoor courtyard and the decor made it too, as...well as the service- they were so lovely! Highly recommend. (Also I recommend their speciality coffee)More
