The ambience is nice, they have screens with popular Mexican music videos. My bf and I have tried most of their dishes. This is what we have tried and recommend; Tuna Fit Aguachile de camarón Platillo J Ceviche de camarón Coctel de camarón y pulpo Comadre Empanada de camarón Camarones zarandeados Taco chile mar y Tierra and also the taco chile de camarón Ensalada con camarones roca Albóndigas de camarón”

Its always busy so the fish they bring in is good. Its a casual spot nothing fancy. Bring your family type of place. Parking is not bad but they could use more room. It is free to park but it can get full.”

We ordered the Spider Rolls, Yellow tail sushi, calamari, Tonkatsu ramen and bell peppers that are on their appetizer list. Everything we ordered was tasty and fresh.

Gloria's Cocina Mexicana 7401 Florence Ave, Downey Mexican • $$
7401 Florence Ave, Downey

“I love the molcajete at this place and their handmade tortillas. The only bad thing is that for takeout they charge you an extra charge for packing your molcajete with the rice and beans separately. It's absurd because that dish is not served all together and for takeout. It should be the same without any extra charge in the head, it is possible to deliver a molcajete to take away in a single container, everything mixed apart that they use a small plate where all the sauce is in the bag and all the guacamole mixed with everything, Mr. Manager, be careful, the customers deserve the same quality both in the restaurant and for takeaway, they charge us the same, their dishes must be served in the same way without abusing the customer”

Xecora Gastronomía Mixology Downey Seafood • $$
Downey

“Came here on a Friday evening with my bestfriend. (We needed a drink) We walked up and were immediately greeted. It wasn't a busy night so we were offered Bar seating, indoor, or patio. We chose patio as long as we can get a heater. Our waiter PePe was very nice and explained items on the menu very well. (Bestie and I always refer back to yelp for pictures and reviews anyway) The restaurant was nice, artistic expression everywhere. Very Boho. I ordered the 2x1 Classic Margaritas on the happy hour menu. I usually change the tequila, but i wanted to try the drinks the way they make it since this was my first time, so house tequila it was. The drinks were soooo good! Wasn't the strongest (which is fine) but the mix was literally perfect. My Bestie got the TamarindSpell. Im not a big Tamarind nor Chili with my drink type of girl, but her drink was really really good. Very surprising. Lol i think it got a little overwhelming at the end but she really liked it for the most part. The chips and salsa came out around the same time, which the salsa was pretty flavorless to us. It tasted like flavorless blended stewed tomatoes. My bestfriend asked if they had a green salsa to go with her tacos, which tasted wayyy better with the chips. I ordered the GoberNader (3 shrimp tacos) also ordered the Langostinos. Both were extremely good. The Langostinos comes with the full head attached but cut in half. Flavor is similar to a crab boil. The cucumber salad is just cut cucumber, a couple of pickled onion, and hot sauce dabbed on top(not exactly a salad, but i like cucumber so i wasn't complaining). My tacos were really good, i didnt really need any salsa, but i die for guac on my tacos, so we eventually ordered guacamole. Which the guacamole wasn't bad, i thought it needed a little salt & maybe pepper. Bestie ordered the Kesabirria, she liked them but she definitely asked for the green salsa on the side. Overall, really good place. Will probably come back with the rest of our girlys. Give the drinks another run!”

“This place is amazing it’s decorated so nice & pink. I would recommend this place for a bridal shower, birthday celebration or just a girls night out.The place is small but it’s cute. Even the restroom is decorated cute. The food is amazing. Come hungry or be prepared to take left overs the plates are huge. The prices are reasonable. The coffee is delicious the presentation of everything is amazing. So many cute picture taking spots.I will take one star off because the tables are super small, for such huge plates the plates don’t even fit on the tables (look at the pic) I had to be holding one place while I ate other wise it would of fallen off the table, also their was only one waitress attending this huge crowd I get it almost everyone is short staff, but I’m paying for a service. I had to flag her a couple of times to get more coffee.I do recommend this cute place after all it’s reasonably price & the food is delicious just ask for a big table.”

Movita Juice Bar 8860 Apollo Way # 312, Downey Juice • $$
8860 Apollo Way # 312, Downey

“Will usually stop by this juice spot when I go for walks with my niece. She really enjoys the strawberry and banana smoothie along with a Lenny & Larrys chocolate chip cookie. Feels like my whole family takes her there every chance we get, the workers probably know her. The atmosphere around this juice bar is very welcoming and gives a chill vibe for anyone. Since my niece loves going for walks around the park, she'll usually tell us to go across the parking lot into the promenade and she'll ask for juice. So since my niece enjoys this spot, I have learned to enjoy it as well. We'll just get the juice and cookie and go outside of the juice bar and hang out on the tables and benches that are outside. Only wish that the promenade was built kind of like the Block at Orange. Would've enjoyed taking walks around the promenade instead everything is all over the place. But that's for another review to be written.”
