In Short
It's hard to miss the bright blue awning and painted palm trees that mark the entrance to this cozy lunch spot, pronounced hee-low-ah. Inside, Durham professionals and students from nearby Duke University vie for a handful of tables. Start out with a signature refresco, an ice-cold drink made from natural fruits and grains. For entrees, choose from an eclectic menu that ranges from mofongo--chicken or pork served on roasted plantains--to Indian tacos.

This Restaurant isn't there. :( I was eager to try it. Anyone know if it moved? The number listed above is disconnected. There is a restaurant in its location though, called Chubby Tacos. It was inexpensive and tasty.

We went for dinner on a don't-feel-like-cooking weeknight and loved it. We had their dinner buffet, which was a great way to sample a lot of their dishes. We particularly liked a spiced mushroom dish and the fried sweet plantains. At $6.50 it was an incredible deal. The fresh juices were great, too, and the service was warm and friendly.

Xiloa's authentic flavors of Nicaragua remind me of the great food I had on a recent trip to Honduras. Be sure to try the Mofongo with carne adovado. I really liked the sweetness of the fried plantains combined with the slight saltiness of the capers and olives.
