Xni Pec is one of my favorite restaurants in the Chicago area. Their tacos de cochinita are the best I've had anywhere, and this is one of the only places I can get huevos motulenos. Their tamales are...

Xni-pec is a delicious gem just outside Chicago and offers authentic Mayan cuisine. The large menu has icons for Mayan specialties versus dishes more common in Mexican restaurants.Newcomers to Xni-Pec...

I saw this on Check Please and had been meaning to check it out for some time! I am glad I finally did! Not only was the food really unique and tasty, but our waiter, Javier, was really nice! He even...

Now I must say that I come from the Yucatan so when I went to this place for the Day of the Dead a year ago I had high expectations for the mucbilpollo, so that is what we had and it sucked: no thick...

A couple of friends and I went almost a couple of months ago. One of them had read the rave reviews for Xni-Pec and we just had to try it. We all live in the near west 'burbs, so it wasn't a trek....

Definitely worth a trip to the south side. The red snapper is on the pricier side but the most amazing, tasty preparation I have ever had. The wait staff is fun and attentive. The hot sauce is...

Xni-Pec is good but not great. The food wasn't exotic or outstanding. The service was ok, maybe an off day. I'd go back and give it another try.

It is incomprehensible to me how some people do not like this restaurant. The cochinita pibil is so outstanding that the mere thought of it while I type is causing me to drool a little on the side...

While Cicero is just a stone's throw from Chicago, I would never have come here if it weren't for my unending search for the next great meal. I heard so many wonderful things about Xni-pec and I'd...

I wanted to love it. I am particularly fond, from my travels, of Yucatecan food.We went there last night (Sunday) at like 5:45pm. It was not at all crowded, but service was really slow.The cochinita...

After seeing this restaurant on 190 North, I really wanted to check out this restaurant. We got the tamales which were the best I have had so far! I wasn't impressed with the mole. The lime soup was...

Maybe I didn't get it. I thought the food was bland. Okay, they're not the typical Mexican place, I understand that. That doesn't mean there can't be any spices or salt in the food. I had the...

So we saw this place on Check, Please and thought we would go check it out. We are suckers for good Mexican food. We stopped by for Sunday brunch and it was difficult for me to tell if they have a...

Xni Pec is a fantastic, if out of the way, dining destination. We were seated immediately in a booth below the giant TV playing Yucatecan music. We knew that, despite the early afternoon hour, we were...

I read all of the fabulous reviews and my husband and I tried it last night. The wait staff was friendly and explained that the resturant was short a chef so there might be a longer wait. What...

Xni-Pec has "Mayan food" written on the awning, indicating that it specializes in food from the Yucatan penninsula. The food must be good because I walked out happy despite my kids being pretty...

I went here the other day and had their enchiladas which were excellent as well as the black beans and rice I ordered with it. The chips and salsa were great as well. Be sure to try the watermelon...

I went here a couple of months ago and I still crave the delicious food. It's probably one of the best places I've ever eaten and I've eaten at a ton of restaurants. We ordered a ton of food because I...

What is the perfect post roller derby meal? Is it a burger? A taco? Maybe. But the primordial clash of femininity we had just witnesses left our crew with a powerful taste for the flavors of the...

We went here after finding it rather randomly and loved the food. The habanero paste was also very impressive, as many restaurants seem to be less daring with their hot foods. The wait staff was also...

Antonio and Maria-Luisa have been in the US for only a few years, selling their house and cars in Mexico to open a modest restaurant in Cicero last May. Their restaurant, Xnipec, is well-worth the 15...
