" Ixmota Taqueria is a delightful place. The decor is adorable and fits perfectly with the taco theme. I started with the nachos, and they were piled high and perfectly melted with cheese. My main was the pork belly tacos; rich and flavorful! Such a nice touch with the homemade tortillas too; that adds so much to the overall experience. Service was friendly but could be quicker on busier days. I guess you can't rush great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends rave about this place, so I decided to visit. The tacos were good, but I wasn't blown away. I had the chicken and al pastor which tasted fresh; however, I felt the portions were smaller than expected for the prices. I appreciated the ambiance and outdoor seating, still a great way to spend an evening outside. Service could definitely use a touch more organization. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Ixmota Taqueria is nothing short of spectacular. We discovered them when we were on the hunt for authentic tacos, and we were not disappointed! We enjoyed the duck tacos and they were unlike anything I've tasted before. Fresh ingredients were obvious with every bite, and the handmade tortillas made a big difference. The only downside? Parking can be tricky, but it's definitely worth it. This place is a real gem for taco lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hidden away in an unassuming location, this taco spot really hits the mark! I ordered the potato tacos and chicken tacos, both were bursting with flavor. Naturally, their homemade tortillas are the star of the show. Staff members were friendly, although a bit rushed. I could see the kitchen was overrun with orders, and my food took some time to arrive. Nonetheless, I would return because the dish was on point! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Ixmota set the standard for tacos! The combination of unique fillings was a breath of fresh air compared to typical taco places. Everything tasted fresh, including the delicious aguas frescas! The only downside was the seating arrangements; it's limited, and it was crowded. Thus, I recommend going during off-peak hours for a more relaxed experience. I'll be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, a decent experience at Ixmota, but I wish it exceeded my high expectations. The ambiance had a charm to it, and the food was decent as well. I enjoyed the carne asada tacos; however, they didn't pack the punch I anticipated. The service was good but could improve in terms of speed, especially during busy times. I'd be open to trying more from their menu on another visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" First off, I want to emphasize how great the homemade tortillas were! The flavor profile of the tacos stood out, but come early if you want to avoid long lines. The atmosphere has a friendly vibe, perfect for casual dining. I felt my tacos were slightly overpriced for what they were. The service was decent, although they seemed overwhelmed at peak time. I might come back to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)
