" Decent food but it didn't blow me away. My chicken burrito was alright but lacked some depth in flavor. Atmosphere is nice, making it feel homely. Service was generally good but experienced a bit of a wait for refills. Overall, a satisfactory experience that doesn't stand out much. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a treasure! I went there for lunch, and the taquitos were some of the best I’ve ever had. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. The environment felt warm and inviting. Just be cautious with the spice level—they're not kidding when they say hot! Would recommend to anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited for the second time, and it was just as good as the first. The atmosphere is lively, yet comfortable. I had enchiladas once again, and they did not disappoint. Can't get enough of their homemade salsa! Great place for authentic Mexican fare, and would recommend to my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon Ixtapa while craving Mexican food, and wow, was I pleased! The authentic tastes are refreshing. The chicken enchiladas were rich and savory, alongside some of the best beans I’ve tasted. The ambiance is cozy, making it a wonderful casual dining spot. I am very likely to become a regular here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to take my family to Ixtapa on a Friday night after hearing many good things. The service was quick, and the atmosphere was lively but relaxed. The food was standard but very filling. We'd still love to give it another shot next time we visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere felt inviting and warm. The service staff were helpful and quick. I had the meal with shrimp, it was well-prepared but perhaps a little on the salty side for my taste. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the experience and hope to explore more on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just visited Ixtapa and I am so impressed! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the food was authentic Mexican. My partner had the mole, and I had the carnitas. Both were flavorful, and the portion sizes were substantial. A great value for what you pay. Will certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)
