Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

IXTA offers a vibrant dining experience with a "fantastic" ambiance and "top shelf" service. The guacamole and salsas are standout favorites, and the mezcal and spicy margaritas receive praise. While some dishes could be improved, the restaurant's well-designed interior and ability to accommodate large groups make it a must-try destination.

Not worth the words to type. Service (meh) confused kitchen, lackluster birthday celebration (depressing song), good drinks, no one in restaurant, Taco Bell food with champagne prices. Tres leches cake was dry - but on the house (thank you). Management needs to figure out how to best serve clients and work with staff. Attitude reflects leadership.

Food was great! Restaurant easily accommodates large groups. Interior design is nice. Crowd was young with a lot of energy. Service was not so great. The restaurant was not fully booked, and our server was not attentive. However, they acknowleged the delay. Despite this, they did not improve the service. Water glasses were not refilled. Check was delayed for a long time. We had to flag down a manager to swipe our card.

Well designed spot and nice ambience but the chicken was dry, octopus was tough, and drinks were sugared up. Service was well intentioned
IXTAResponded on June 21, 2024
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you appreciated our spot and nice ambiance. We apologize for falling short with the chicken and octopus dishes, and we'll definitely address this with our kitchen team. Regarding the drinks, we'll review our recipes to ensure they're balanced to everyone's taste. We appreciate your kind words about our well-intentioned service and hope to have another chance to impress you in the future.
