TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups were the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection. As per usual, removed some of the extra things in this review from the start due to space
There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free.
From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word.
The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish.
Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice.
The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray’s or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK.
Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I’m not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn’t generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn’t as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn’t too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard.
This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I’m not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I’ll round up as that doesn’t exist.

If you’ve always wanted to travel to Guatemala, IX Restaurant serves truly authentic Guatemalan food that will make you feel like you teleported to Guatemala with every bite.
As soon as I walked in the vibes, music, and energy put me in a good mood.
What really sets IX apart, though, is the service. The staff is incredibly warm, attentive, and welcoming. In just my second visit they truly make you feel like part of the family. Between the authentic food, the energetic atmosphere, and the top-notch hospitality, [and the fact my food arrived quickly – I prdered El Patron Burrito] IX Restaurant is a place that inspires you to come back to try every dish. I’m already scanning the menu to plan my third visit.

I’ve been coming here for years and it’s one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. I recommend the queso derritido, caldo ix and jocon. Oh, and don’t forget the hot chocolate! Cocktails are great too If you’re lucky there will be live music.

Ix brings Guatemalan flavors to NY. The chef does a great job on the stew dishes that have great flavor. I had the pepian stew and the shrimp sliders. Both were delicious.
The place is a little small. But you can often see artists perform here in weekend nights.

Cozy spot for this winter days. However, ai have passed by during summer days and they have their door and windows open. Nice atmosphere.
Tasty and colorful food.

This is my favorite restaurant in the whole city. The soups/stews like the Pepian are remarkable. The cinnamon cocoa is unbelievable. Love the warm ambiance too. Always leave feeling so satisfied and happier than when I arrived.

The food is delicious and I will keep coming here. I love the carrot soup, the heuvos rancheros, the sandwiches are terrific. Lots of vegetarian options.
The coffee is not great. At this point, I have tried all their coffee drinks and unfortunately, they are all pretty blah. If you are going to serve breakfast and brunch, coffee game need to be good.
Also, this place does not give you an itemized receipt. They just tell you what your bill is and then show you the tip screen. Please stop doing that. The person paying a bill has the right to know exactly what they are paying for. If you’re not going to bring a paper receipt, at least show the receipt on the screen instead of just asking for a tip. Don’t make it awkward for your customers.
The people running this place are very sweet and I wanna keep supporting this business, but the bill-paying moment is shady and awkward.

Dessert here goes CRAZY. Plantain mole, rosemary churros, and chocolate were so good. Excited to come back to try brunch!

Pepian soup was 4 out of 5, besides the great flavor and taste that I was getting from each ingredient I couldn’t stop tasting the bitter note at the end of each spoonful, perhaps too much cinnamon was added.
The sandwich veg, egg, and cheese was 4.8 – when I held the sandwich, the bottom bun was soggy but the flavor was very good.
The salad served with the sandwich was a 5. Simple, flavorful and pleasant smell.
The best part was me and my partner planned to divide our food when we got it, but we received two separate dishes, each had a small sandwich and bowl of soup, I was so excited! Top tier customer service.

One of my absolute favorite spots — it feels like a second home! The food? Always super fresh and packed with flavor. The vibe is amazing live music, tasty national drinks, and seriously awesome customer service. And here’s a little secret… they actually have a secret menu!
