Xica, the gluten-free Mexican spot smack dab in the middle of Levi’s Plaza, is feel-good energy personified. It’s got bold murals, plants, upbeat music filling the cavernous space, and a patio next to a trickling fountain. The food can be hit-or-miss and lacks oomph in flavor, but that shouldn’t stop you from eating the excellent fried egg-topped chilaquiles and a few shrimp tacos on dragon fruit-infused tortillas, or come to eat chicken and waffles and drink a standout cantaloupe agua fresca with friends or co-workers in a really pleasant setting during your lunch break.
