★★★★★ 5.0 Pancho Del Rancho · Dec 2025

Xecora Restaurant was an amazing experience. The food was excellent, beautifully presented, and full of unique flavors. The blend of spices truly made me feel like I was back in Nayarit, Mexico authentic and unforgettable. Daniela, our waitress, did an outstanding job. Our drinks were perfect, and her service was attentive, friendly, and professional from start to finish. This is definitely a great place to enjoy delicious food and drinks with your loved ones or friends. Highly recommended!

My boyfriend and I stopped in for a late lunch at Xecora and lucked out with Happy Hour! We sat at the bar and enjoyed the fun, beautifully decorated space (it was nice and quiet on a weekday afternoon). Every detail was great, especially the food: the tacos gobernador were absolutely fabulous, and the oysters were fresh. Paired with a few delicious sangrias, it made for a wonderful afternoon. We highly recommend and can't wait to return!

The restaurants it's small. There is an outside patio. I went on a Sunday and there was live Mariachi. The food was really good I had the the pescado Zarandeado highly recommend. The pulpo zarandeado was also good and very tender not hard or chewy. They have a great variety of drinks I had Tamarindo margarita it was yummy.

We have gone to the place in El Monte and now we tried the downey spot because of the marachi. We had a great time here with the drinks ,music, and the food. Although the el Monte spot still has better drinks and food in my opinion. The Downey location is much more airy and has outside and inside dining. All and all I still enjoyed the atmosphere and would do it again.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Juan Rivera · Mar 2026

Very disappointing experience. The music was so loud you literally couldn’t have a conversation with your own table. We tried multiple times to order drinks and were completely ignored by our server and others while they hung out in front of us. I actually had to get up and find someone just to get service. The food took almost an hour to come out. I ordered the chilaquiles — 4/10 at best. It’s all presentation and no flavor. Overall, extremely disappointing. Between the slow service, being ignored, and the excessive noise, I would not recommend this place
