Experience the Heart of Xalisco's

Authentic Mexican flavors and Jalisco roots meet vibrant Ogden culture.

Nestled in the heart of the community, Xalisco Tequila Bar and Restaurant offers a celebration of heritage, family, and local culture. Owned by brothers David and Luis Lopez alongside family friend Kerry Gibson, this local hotspot is deeply rooted in a rich family story.

The Lopez family originally moved to Ogden from Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. Today, they have successfully woven the vibrant cultures of Ogden and Jalisco into a single, welcoming experience. "We want people to walk in," explains David Lopez, "feeling like they just walked into a family's home."

This sentiment comes to life in the dining room, which features a stunning mural painted by a local artist. The artwork beautifully depicts deep cultural roots through Jalisco’s iconic agave plants, seamlessly intertwined with Ogden's historic train.

Authentic Flavors and Unforgettable Drinks

Xalisco's serves a wide variety of authentic Mexican food. Among the crowd favorites are their tamales, crafted from a cherished family recipe. To complement your meal, the restaurant offers an array of beautiful, handcrafted drinks, including local favorites like the Margarita Tamarindo and the refreshing Hibiscus Margarita.

Xalisco knows how to throw a party. If you are celebrating a birthday (21 and over), the restaurant sets the bar on fire with dramatic sparks and fun bubble machines. Looking to host your own gathering? Xalisco's also provides full-service catering for events.

Exciting Updates on the Horizon

There is always something new brewing at Xalisco's. By the end of the year, the restaurant will open a brand-new tequila tasting room partnered with curated pairings. Guests can also look forward to Xalisco's very own exclusive tequila line launching soon.

Giving Back to the Community

Beyond the food and atmosphere, one of the primary missions for the owners is giving back to the community that welcomed them. They actively donate to local police departments and schools while volunteering their time to make Ogden a better place for everyone.

If you are 21 or older and looking to experience authentic Mexican cuisine intertwined with Ogden culture. Xalisco's is the place to be!
