Ix Restaurant

TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups were the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection. As per usual, removed some of the extra things in this review from the start due to space There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blen

If you’ve always wanted to travel to Guatemala, IX Restaurant serves truly authentic Guatemalan food that will make you feel like you teleported to Guatemala with every bite. As soon as I walked in the vibes, music, and energy put me in a good mood. What really sets IX apart, though, is the service. The staff is incredibly warm, attentive, and welcoming. In just my second visit they truly make you feel like part of the family. Between the authentic food, the energetic atmosphere, and the top-notch hospitality, [and the fact my food arrived quickly - I prdered El Patron Burrito] IX Restaurant is a place that inspires you to come back to try every dish. I'm already scanning the menu to plan my third visit.

I’ve been coming here for years and it’s one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. 🙂 I recommend the queso derritido, caldo ix and jocon. Oh, and don’t forget the hot chocolate! Cocktails are great too 😄 If you’re lucky there will be live music.

Ix brings Guatemalan flavors to NY. The chef does a great job on the stew dishes that have great flavor. I had the pepian stew and the shrimp sliders. Both were delicious. The place is a little small. But you can often see artists perform here in weekend nights.

Cozy spot for this winter days. However, ai have passed by during summer days and they have their door and windows open. Nice atmosphere. Tasty and colorful food.
