What People Are Saying About Xiloa Restaurant

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.

not there

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.

Friendly, tasty, and affordable.

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.

Authentic Central American Cuisine

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.
