EXPERIENCE
Why do the ordinary
Signature Private Dining | Dallas, Texas.
Initiate the Journey
Each season dictates the thread of our kitchen. This menu isn't chosen, it's walked through: 6 courses that tell a chronological story, one at a time, with nature as the true author of every flavor.
You cannot force a season to bend to your will, so we let the land dictate the menu. At XO, our kitchen is in constant motion, evolving with the harvest to bring you the purest expression of Mexican roots.
CULINARY ARTISTRY
What you see here is what the land gave us this season. Next season, it will be a different story.
Heritage, Evoked Through a Tasting Menu.
ANCESTRAL TASTING
Our dynamic culinary journey changes with the seasons to reflect the freshest available produce. Each course tells a chronological story of heritage and respect for the ingredient.
We transform every part of the ingredient to its maximum expression to honor the effort of the local farmers. Nothing is wasted, and every single element serves a very flavorful purpose.

POETRY IN SPICE
— Master Chef Alexis Chaparro.
Executive Chef.
Born in Mexico City, his relationship with food began at home, guided by his mother and grandmother, from whom he inherited a deep love for the purest flavors of Guerrero's cuisine.
Trained since the age of thirteen, he worked his way through the trade from the ground up before establishing himself in kitchens of note, including Nicos, Porfirio's, and Dulce Patria. In 2020, he took the helm at Ayahuasca Cantina, named one of Dallas's best restaurants by D Magazine in 2022, which also named him Chef Revelación.
THE CHEF behind XO.
In 2024, he founded XO Cocina Mexicana de Raíz, a nomadic project that tells the story of Mexico through a chronological tasting menu, one course at a time, without pretense.
