This spot is definitely a great place for a date night, felt like I was in Tulum. The servers were very attentive and gave great customer service ( love that the manager checks up on each table, making sure everything is well.) The food was very tasting, love the blend of spices and sauces they incorporated in their meals. And drinks are great. 10/10 recommend!

Don’t do brunch. It was bad. No breakfast tacos, just these weird egg bowls. Also, bad guacamole.

More people should discover this new place. The brunch was great. The food is very flavorful, even enjoyed by one of us who isn’t a big fan of Mexican food. Our server could not have been nicer or more accommodating. Definitely will be going back soon. Can’t wait to try their outside space in warmer weather.

Food and drinks were great, but the service was so bad I would probably not come back. There were a bunch of employees standing around but only a few waiters. It took forever to order drinks and food, and the waiter never came back to check on us. We ordered a second round of drinks that never came! We were there for three hours and only managed to be served one drink and some tacos… we would have loved to order more but the service was so severely lacking.

Bad food, felt like tourist trap in Cancun. We ordered a cheese that felt like cream cheese, and then grilled octopus that had no flavor. Quite overpriced va the portions and quality of the food.

The food was delicious and the staff is super attentive. I'm a huge dessert person so was a little disappointed that there weren't many options for dessert. Also if you're a fan of sweet drinks I would try to get a drink at the bar there might be more variety than the menu you get at the table.

Great ambiance and service. Had an issue with our first round of drinks but the waitress and manager handled the issue with grace and the following rounds of drinks were perfect! The food was AMAZING! The ambiance and vibe were great! We had the octopus which was so good, the guacamole could have been better it was average, the birria tacos were soooo good! And the flautas were really good as well! The churros for dessert are a must have!

Great food. It’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed Mexican food. Each dish had great flavors. The service was wonderful and even the floor manager, Jean Pierre, said hello, which was nice. A phenomenal selection of mezcal. Really enjoyed the pechugo flights.

The ambiance of IXTA is absolutely to die for. I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed the ceviche mixto. The prawns el Diablo weren’t as spicy as I thought they would be, and comes in a small portion of 4/5 pieces, I wouldn’t suggest sharing. However my main course, the Pollo Rostizado with sesame seeds was disgustingly dry. I couldn’t finish the meal. Will never order that again.
