Ixtapa Cantina

I was having high hopes for this place, was really wanting a chimichanga. Found them online and ordered. When I opened my meal it was not good to the eye. They put the beans in the same pan as my shimmy and it was soggy. The rice was good but not happy. They should have separated the wet food from the dry food.

Good basic Mexican food. Chips and salsa-pico de gallo were a nice start and replenished on request. Plenty of selections, food was served hot

I wish I could leave a lower rating than 1 star. I’ll start with this: The people were lovely. Nothing wrong with them, they provided great service. This food however is some of the worst food I’ve ever had the misfortune to order. The chips were stale and the salsa was tomato water. The guac had ZERO flavor, no lime, no salt, very much store bought garbage. I ordered the Santa Fe burrito and it was a 3/10 at best. Flavor on this was barely okay. Avoid at all costs. The only reviews above 4 & 5 stars are from old white people that have never visited south of the Massachusetts border, let alone south of the US border for any real authentic Mexican food. Don’t be fooled, stay away. It’s going to be an experience I remember for years because of how horrible this food was.

After being terribly disappointed that my local “massage” parlor closed , I found this gem in the same block! The bartender was very friendly and had a lot of energy! Great crew of regulars here as well that made me feel welcome and at home! Definitely worth a visit! They turned my frown upside down! Would definitely recommend!

What a great place to go! We called ahead for a table of 20 and they took care of us all without any major problems. One dish was coming out late? They immediately let us know and apologized, asking that person if they wanted anything else in the meantime. Nothing was missing in the end, we all got our drinks and our food and the bill came out perfectly (and quickly too, prompt service all around). We would happily go back and eat here again, with a small crew or for another big outing.
