Xécora Gastronomía Urbana

Someone told me about this place, they said it was fine dining… fine dining it is not, BUT they have one of the best ceviches I have had. The WTF ceviche is addictive, I go there often just for the ceviche. Service isn’t bad, but could be better, we always see ourselves flagging our service down to get more water, more cocktails or simple things like chips and napkins. Servers are very nice, I just think they need to hire more to provide the attention required. Cocktails are pretty good, too sweet for my liking, but all my guests always love them. WTF Ceviche is the winner in this place.

The gobernador Marlin Tacos tasted good. It was ok. :). The watermelon 🍉 drink was sweet. I enjoyed it. It's a bit pricey, but it is understandable. Nice place to come eat out with family or friends. I like the atmosphere here. I appreciate the service here. Thank you. 🙏

Plenty of parking outside and the interior decor was nice, but I had higher hopes for the food than was recieved. Our server was in a hurry the whole time even though there was only one other table, like it was a bother we were there. The water was infused with cucumber surprise- undrinkable because I don't like cukes. Guava margarita was good, big chunky salt was a nice touch. Salsa was just diced tomatoes, no Jalapeño/cilantro/onion, etc. Birria tacos had a good amount of meat and cheese. Carne asada meat was cooked nicely medium, with smoky grill flavor. Beans were barely warm and lacking any flavor, very watery. Tortillas appeared to be freshly made. This isn't really 'Mexican' but rather 'Mexican fusion' - although I'm not sure what's infused aside from disappointment.

great flavor. I shouldn't ordered tacos though. instead I ordered the chicken skewer and it was a little over-cooked/ dry. Everyone else's food looked great

Loved the food and the Aguas Frescas. The place Decor is beautiful too. I had the Carne Asada Plate with handmade Corn Tortillas. My mom had a Breakfast Plate, the Chilaquiles Rojos and Eggs. I loved the Agua de Pepino con Limon. Also that Salsa they serve with the Chips is great. Will need to revisit this place again & hopefully soon.
