“ Decided to give it a try for lunch. The salsa for the chips was good, and the refried beans with the chips and salsa was something I’d never seen before. The service was great they came right out with the chips. Then I placed my order and was impressed with the turn around time from order to reviving my taco salad. I had the taco salad with chicken. The guacamole was good the lettuce was fresh and there was a good amount of chicken. My only complaint is the lack of flavor. If I order it again I will ask for more salsa to spice it up. I will be back to sample more of the menu. Stay tuned for updates. ”
“ Excellent every time we go, drink food and service is out standing. ”
“ The carne asada enchiladas were delicious and the beef tacos were so savory and moist! The chips and salsa/beans were fresh, we loved them. The staff is so good about coming around and offering you more of everything. We came with our 2 year old and they gave him a coloring sheet and toddler chair. This restaurant is very kid friendly. ”
“ As a family of 5 on a single income, we don’t get to go out very often and enjoy dinners. I can’t explain how much I needed a nice night out with no issues. Customer service here is absolutely phenomenal and very quick even for being packed at 6 pm on a Friday. Extremely friendly and mostly important…. Family oriented. Plus a huge bonus, it was very affordable. This was hands down the best dinner out that we have had in a few years and we really needed it! Thank you so much. We will be back! ”
“ My husband and I come here when we are in town. The service and food is consistently good. The margaritas are great. Chips with beans and salsa are always delivered quickly (we’ve never had to ask). Today my girlfriend and I went for lunch and as usual it was perfect. I had the Mexican bowl with chicken, it was fantastic, healthy yet filling. Ive tried many dishes here from the burritos, salads, tacos, and chile verde (my husband’s favorite). We usually sit in the bar but we’ve sat on the patio and in the main restaurant all of which are very comfortable with lots of room. I highly recommend this restaurant due to its consistent food quality (never greasy or too salty), and the very friendly service. ”
“ I really can't say enough good things about Ixtapa. We are so coming back here again and when we do we will take pictures and update this review with them. 1. Chips are served warm with mild salsa and refried beans to start...better than most free chips offered at other restaurants we've had. 2. Ribeye Tacos: wow these were so good...my wife orderd them but I had to try them for myself (and will definitely order them myself next time)! 3A. Enchilada with Barbacoa Beef: tender shredded beef with a delicious red sauce. 3B. Tamale with Pork: what makes this stand out is the incredible green sauce...all served on top of a corn husk for a very nice flair. 4. Service is prompt and friendly and it was a pleasure chatting with our server. Ixtapa is by far the bext Mexican Restaurant in the Stanwood/Arlington area. Like I said, we're coming back...and this time to take pictures! EDITS: Back the next day and posting pictures! ”
