“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.“
“I've been coming here for over 8yrs.... Unfortunately I went yesterday 12/11/23 and I ended up getting food poisoning, the service was terrible and you have nothing but a bunch of drunk idiots fighting at the bar. Even the owner got a bloody eye one time I was there. This place can be great just needs a lot, a lot of work with service food and the atmosphere plus security. I got the pasta with buffalo chicken. That's what got me sick.“
“It is an excellent place to go with your family to celebrate, it has good service and on weekends with very good music with a band... I recommend it ?Parking: Oh enough parkingIn the back of the restaurant...the times I have been there on weekends, whether Saturday or Sunday night, there is no known problem with parking...“

“Agnes Restaurant & CheeseryIt was not yet noon. I finished mailing documents at the El Monte post office and wanted to find a place to eat. Suddenly I thought of Pasadena Old Town, which I often went to when I was studying. I hadn’t been there for a long time. The car drove into Old Town and finally found a roadside parking. The toll was an old coin-operated type. I didn't see coins during this trip, and even banknotes were rare. Fortunately, there is an app on the toll that allows you to pay directly. , quickly download the app and pay with a credit card. You can only park for 2 hours, so just browse around as you like.The restaurants in Old Town are completely different from what they used to be. I didn’t know any of them, but I happened to see Agnes Restaurant & Cheesery, a cheese specialty store with bright and clean windows. It was small and elegant. It seemed that it also had a restaurant. When I walked in, I saw a variety of cheese and red wine. Immediately I intuitively chose Primento cheese omelette and cappuccino. After a while, the dishes were all served. They were also small and elegant, which is unimaginable in Los Angeles, which is famous for its big wins.Primento cheese omelette is a refreshing salad next to a yellow egg roll. When you take a bite of the salad, you can never describe it as "refreshing". It is thick and thick, the viscosity of the salad oil is very high, and it also has the heavy taste of traditional Western food, regardless of the saltiness. , quite delicious. The egg rolls are well-cooked, and the crispy shell is filled with rich cheese. It is very fragrant and thick, and has a bit of spiciness. It is different from the egg rolls eaten in other restaurants. It is a paradise for cheese lovers.After that, I walked around the store and saw a lot of cheese and red wine waving at me with a smile. Unfortunately, I couldn't buy them this time. After leaving the store, I felt that my stomach was still empty, so I went to look for food again. After noon, the store started to get busy. Let’s try it for dinner next time.“
“Always good. It's just always good. Great environment, relaxed but it you want to be fancy you'll still fit right in. Good service, great drinks, good food. Superb people watching. Everyone's preferred first date spot. If you arrive early you can visit the garden and say hello to the chickensParking is always the worst so be prepared to pay to park whether you park in a lot or valet just be aware that the valets are going to park your car on the street same as everyone else ?I wish they were open in the morning for coffee, even if it was just a little cart with simple coffee and pastries only.Parking: Parking is always the worst so be prepared to pay to park whether you park in a lot or valet just be aware that the valets are going to park your car on the street same as everyone else ?Everywhere in the vicinity is like that, the curse of a cool neighborhood. And also the city rezoned the parking and reduced the numbers of spots to maybe 1/2 or 1/3 of what there was and made huge unnecessary red zones everywhere, but that's another story ?☕“
“Really delicious food. Tiny outside eating area. Valet parking, which is good because this isn't a neighborhood where you'd like to be walking around at night getting to your car.Kid-friendliness: NoWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“Great place. Wide variety of Craft Beer from local highly rated breweries such as Green Cheek (one of my favorites). Service from all staff on point, always willing to assist with beer related questions, if not too familiar with the craft life, Stephen is always helpful and pleasant. If you prefer something off beer, the sake margarita is a must.“
