In Short – From savory mousaka to beefy lasagna, X&O's menu pulls all the favorite dishes from various Mediterranean cuisine types. Stylish light fixtures and a modern color scheme lend a trendy vibe to the dining and bar areas. Lunch sees a local crowd come in to sample from a lengthy, affordable menu of soups, salads, panini sandwiches and wraps.

Consistently Strong Mexican Food

by WestchesterBoston1234 at Citysearch

I've consistently enjoyed my meal here from the Fajitis to the Burritos and Tacos also. We love the Salsa and Margaritas. That being said- sometimes we get our food within 5 minutes and I'm wondering if they're trying to get rid of us! They're super fast

  • Pros: Food, Fast Service, Price
  • Cons: Service too fast sometimes

Great booze!

by kris10haley , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

I had some fish tacos here and they were dripping with either grease or too much dressing. I did get a few raspberry mojitos in me by then, so I didn't really care so much. It was fairly dead, but as soon as the celtics came in, there were another 2 people that came in. If a place is going to have TVs running and pretend to be a sports bar, I'd think there would be more fans making the trek through Quincy to get there.. I had some queso there once as an app and it was okay but greasy as well.

  • Pros: Mojitos, Margaritas
  • Cons: Greasy Mexican
1 Star Rating: Poor

Pitiful excuse for Mexican

by rustysmom at Citysearch

Maybe this place is good if you have had a few margaritas before eating, but the food was awful. Heavy, bland and only a few veggie options. I ordered some sort of burrito filled with rice, beans and onions. Dry tortilla, no sauce to hold it together. Just a tastless mess of a dish. A mexican restaurant with no bean options! Unless you are a drunk carnivore, stay away.

  • Pros: casual atmosphere, nice service
  • Cons: bland food, weird layout,

Poor service

by hrgirl775 at Citysearch

Stopped in with a friend for an early dinner on a Saturday night ~ 2 mos ago. The food was average - nothing special. Brick oven pizzas, cream of asparagus soup, hummus with pasta chips, tomato/basil/mozz salads. Everything was just "ok". The service, however, was awful. Our waiter was very unfriendly and seemed annoyed that we stopped in, I suppose because it meant he had to work! Not a good experience as a result of the service. Will not be going back.

  • Pros: decent atmosphere, broad menu

Wanted to love it here....

by mbvv at Citysearch

Was disappointed - the decor was great, the portions were good sized but the food was not what was expected. Granted, this was after one meal - I had a Greek dish (lamb shank) which was good, my husband had chix parm, which was not the typical chix parm. The Chicken was separate from pasta and marinara which made it somewhat dry. My husband said it was the worst marinara he ever had. The wine list was good and house wine was surprisingly good (should be for $5.5/glass). The measured wine dispensers were a turn-off (is this an airport???)! Despite the nice ambience and pleasant waitsatff we will probably not return (maybe to try the pizza?).

  • Pros: ambience, cozy, price
  • Cons: measured wine pours, marinara, parking
