Reviews
First off, the staff is absolutely fantastic. Every single person we’ve encountered, from the host to the servers, is genuinely friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. It truly elevates the dining experience.
The food is consistently great. They offer classic dishes made with care, and everything always tastes fresh and delicious. To go along with the meal, the drinks are tasty and well-made—the perfect way to relax and recharge before hitting the road again.
I highly recommend stopping at Ixtapa. It’s a highlight of our journey and we look forward to it every time!
We entered at a busier time, during dinner rush the night before Independence Day. It’s absolutely worth noting that the service was still very professional and attentive throughout the complete experience. The tables were also clean and well laid out—seating our group of 10 was not a challenge.
We found our first issue with the value. Whereas Google showed $10-20, this is pretty much impossible with the dinner menu, especially with a suitable tip considered. It’s hard to find anything substantial on the menu listed less than $18 or so. The fact that the meal ended up being smaller than most restaurants like this left us feeling like we spent more than we should have, especially considering the food.
The cuisine itself was mediocre and you could make better food at home with not much effort. The consensus around the table was that the food was pretty salty and bland. Additionally, the Ixtapa Burrito that I ordered didn’t have any vegetables inside it, just rice, beans, and chorizo (which I requested for protein). It was adorned with salsa, sour cream, and guac, but those didn’t really make up for the lack of fillings. Where’s the lettuce? Pico? Sautéed onions and peppers?
I wholeheartedly believe that anyone could make significantly better food in their home kitchen with little effort, and because of that I’m inclined to give it a 2/5 rating. However, due to outstanding service and welcoming atmosphere, I think I can justify 3/5 overall.
My family and I are regular customers. I have yet to not enjoy my experience here. I stopped by recently (Mothers Day) for lunch with my wife. I had the shrimp fajitas and my wife had a combination plate including a tamale and enchilada. They were both quite good. We had dessert too, flan and deep fried ice cream. I had the latter and it was just ok. Did not taste freshly made, and the fact that we got our desserts within a few minutes tells me they were simply plated and brought out to us. Understandable with the flan but not as much with the deep fried ice cream. Did they just pull it out of a box in the freezer? A tiny bit disappointing but not enough to knock off a star. We were still quite satisfied with the overall experience, as we always are. I would (one item from their dessert menu withstanding) recommend this place.
