It had only been a couple of months since our last visit and to our dismay so manythings have changed. The two biggest mistakes we noticed was the name change (marketing) and La Negra's recipe. The recipe does not need tomato and totally kills the flavor. Also El gato negro is a trash name. We may have to find a new spot...

I do not know if it was me, but the portions are small for the price $6 for a taco? The meat was salty the salsas no flavor. The flavored fruit drinks tasted like they are made with tap water. Service was not what I expected. Sorry not coming

I recently visited Xecora in Downey, enticed by its reputation as a local favorite. Having previously experienced their Downey location, I decided to stop by this one, hopeful for a similar culinary adventure.Upon entering, I found the atmosphere at Xecora to be pleasant, but not extraordinary. The ambiance could use a bit more character and warmth to elevate the dining experience. However, the overall vibe didn't detract significantly from the positives of the visit.The service, on the other hand, was a standout aspect. The staff was friendly but also efficient and attentive. Their willingness to accommodate and make recommendations enhanced the overall dining experience.The chip and salsa at Xecora maintain their reputation for excellence. The flavors are vibrant, and the freshness of the ingredients is evident. It's a delightful way to kick off the meal and sets the stage for what's to come.One of the highlights of Xecora is their special drink, which lived up to its reputation. The unique flavors and creative presentation added a refreshing touch to the dining experience. I highly recommend trying their special drink for a flavorful twist on traditional options.Xecora is renowned for its ceviche, and rightfully so. The freshness of the seafood combined with well-balanced seasoning makes it a must-try dish. Unfortunately, during my visit, the absence of oysters was a letdown. It's worth noting that availability may vary, so it could be worthwhile to inquire ahead if you have a specific dish in mind.Overall, Xecora has the potential to elevate its status with a few enhancements to the ambiance, but it certainly delivers on taste and service.

Very disappointed,I was looking for a real seafood place to eat and I thought this was the one so I ordered a siete mares soup,and what I got back was 4 mares with no flavor and cold also pricey to top it off,never going back.
