Xelas - Stillwater’s home for craft cocktails & Latin flavor

At Xelas by El Sazon, we invite you to experience the soul of Mayan cuisine like never before. Guided by the vision and culinary artistry of Chef Cristian De Leon, our menu is a celebration of memory full of traditions and bold flavors of Guatemalan and Mexican heritage.

Chef Cristian brings his deep roots and passion for authentic Mayan-inspired dishes to every plate, crafting recipes that honor history while embracing innovation. From smoky recados to fresh handmade tortillas, every bite is a tribute to his culinary expertise and love for his culture. In memory of his late mother.  

Complementing our menu is the creative brilliance of mixologist Zoilo, who transforms the vibrant flavors of Central America into unforgettable craft cocktails. Using fresh ingredients, regional spirits, and a touch of artistry, each cocktail is designed to perfectly pair with our dishes and enhance your dining experience.

Whether you’re savoring an heirloom recipe or toasting with a signature cocktail, Xelas is where tradition meets creativity. Join us for an unforgettable journey into the heart of Mayan Latin American cuisine.

Welcome to the flavor. Welcome to Xelas by El Sazón.
