" This restaurant has been a favorite of mine for years! Every time I dine here, I leave pleased. The carne asada burrito is my go-to; highly seasoned and delicious. The service is typically fantastic, but we did have a slight wait for drinks last time. Nonetheless, Ixtapa remains in my top choices for Mexican food in the area. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried Ixtapa a handful of times, and while my experiences have been mostly positive, I have encountered some inconsistency with the food’s flavor and temperature. The ambiance is pleasant, though, and the staff try very hard to provide good service. I plan to visit again to see if it improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyable experience with my friends! The atmosphere was vibrant, and the service was top-notch. I liked the shrimp tacos, but the spice levels could have been better. Overall, I am glad we chose to dine here and would recommend it to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ixtapa offers some of the best enchiladas I've had, with a rich and delicious filling. The service was always attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. You cannot beat the value either. I highly recommend this restaurant to all Mexican food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time trying Ixtapa, and it was a pleasant experience. The food was tasty, and I enjoyed my meal a lot. The atmosphere was lively, too! However, I felt the dishes could have had a bit more authenticity in spice levels. Overall, a nice experience and would visit again. " (*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*)
