This place is an experience more than anything. The majority of the seating is outdoors with music and lots of blooming plants. It’s really lovely and rustic, though the music was so loud we couldn’t hear our conversation. If you want a relaxed meal, definitely sit indoors.

This place is always too busy to get into so when we saw a chance to stop in, we did. No disappointment here! Chicken Enchiladas were fantastic and the House Burrito filled up the hubby. An absolute stop for great Mexican food.

I decided to check out Ixtapa after reading the great reviews and had a fantastic experience! The parking lot is small but there is plenty of available parking along the road. There are many places to sit including inside, outside on a covered patio, an open patio area and also seating in the grassy area next to the restaurant. I sat in the grassy area where there’s also a play area for kids and a tire swing. The service was fast, and the staff was very friendly. Lots of options on the menu. I recommend the flautas, carnitas, the chips and guacamole (super fresh guac and homemade chips!), and the horchata if you love cinnamon. Relaxing atmosphere, delicious food, and good prices means I’ll be coming back!

One of my close friends invited me for the first and the staff and the vibes were so nice I decided to bring my family the following week. My family fell in love with it as well, and they even went again without me(sad, haha). The staff really treats you like family, and if you sit in the back by the banana trees, it feels like you’re in a family members house. Would recommend to anyone who loves GOOD authentic Mexican food and enjoys good vibes!

We had the Don Burrito and quesadilla with steak and mushroom. Both were excellent. Wait was long but worth it. Staff was efficient and polite.

Always packed when we came by last summer so we came back when it’s slower. Found another place for real Mexican food! House burrito filled with and pollo, enchiladas great too. We’ll be back.

Love this place already, but I recently attended an event they catered and it was done so well, it reminded me how awesome they are. Sweet and hospitable with tasty food always prepared and presented with care, no matter what I order (though the huarache is my favorite!). Occasionally service is challenged at the restaurant, but it’s ALWAYS friendly and caring. When you’re tucked into the banana plants and mandevilla outside with a cold beer on a hot day, it’s like a mini-vacation!

What a great find! We were a group of 3. It was definitely a busy hour we went but we got seated quickly and given our menues and drinks in good time. After placing the order our food came out in a timely manner. Everything was absolutely delicious. From the queso and guacamole dip to our entrees. Every bite was savoured.

Had to move seats to get service. Messed up on my order which was just 2 tacos… I asked them to fix it and it still came out wrong. Not impressed.

Was pretty bad I won’t lie. We ordered a few enchiladas and it took over an hour for the food to come. Multiple people who got there after us got their food before us as well. When the food finally got to us, it was cold, which we later learned was because our food was sitting on the counter the entire time. We had to ask to get it replaced. No one asked if wanted a price reduction, and when we finally wanted to get to-go boxes, we had to wait another 15 minutes before going inside to get them ourselves. Not only that but they failed to tell us that they charge extra for drink refills, and we saw other people being seated at tables that were not cleaned after the last costumer. Overall bad experience. Do not come here if you want a pleasant, stress-free experience.
