" I visited El Ixtapa on a recommendation from a colleague, and I'm so glad I did! The food was wonderfully authentic, and it reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. The chiles rellenos were a standout dish—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. I also loved the complimentary chips and the cabbage salsa they serve with it—such a unique touch! The service was efficient, and the atmosphere was friendly. I'll definitely be back soon to try more items from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we walked into El Ixtapa, we were welcomed like family. The vibrant decor and comforting aromas set the stage for a delightful dining experience. My husband and I ordered the carne asada and enchiladas, and both were bursting with flavor. The carne asada was perfectly grilled, tender, and juicy. Even the rice and beans were deliciously seasoned. Service was attentive but not overbearing, which I appreciated. We left feeling satisfied and can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon El Ixtapa while visiting the area and was intrigued by the authentic feel of the place. The flavors do not disappoint! I tried the chorizo tacos, and they were spicy and satisfying! However, I noticed that the service was a bit slower than usual, perhaps due to a busy evening. Overall, the food made up for it; the ambiance was lively and inviting. I’d highly recommend it as a great stop for anyone passing through. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family had dinner here last week and I was back again this week. The service is consistently good, but on this occasion, we encountered a slightly less enthusiastic server. The food, however, was FANTASTIC. I had the chicken mole and wow, pure comfort food! The kids loved the burritos, but they were huge—two meals in one! Despite the minor hiccup in service, we will continue to make this our go-to Mexican restaurant in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at El Ixtapa is always a delight! I love that they use fresh ingredients which really enhances the flavor of each dish. I've tried their specials several times, and they have yet to let me down. On this visit, I opted for the pollo asado, which was grilled to juicy perfection. The wait staff is quick and often checks on your table. Overall, my experience will definitely keep me coming back for more, and I’ll encourage friends to join next time! " (*Curated Review*)
