    Margarita

    I was disappointed somewhat. The quality of the chicken was not very good. It tasted like packaged chicken. Not fresh chicken. It didn't taste right to me. The service was the silver lining. Direct and friendly. It wasn't really that busy. Not that many people there. Maybe just a few people. Kind of disappointed. Definitely recommend using fresh ingredients in the future. Thank you.

    Ixtapa has always had great food! I love the chimichangas and the beans/rice. The people who work at Ixtapa are very friendly and have very good service. It's also very clean and they even have cute little bubble gum machines.

    Very friendly staff and helped make our party feel right at home. They setup a nice area for our large group and even changed the channel on their tv so we could catch the game.

    This is a wonderful family-style restaurant. Everything felt comforting, from the service to the seats to the food. Ordered chicken fajitas which came nice and sizzling. Taste was good, though about what you'd expect from any Mexican restaurant. They also offered cool specials at a decent price. Left feeling content in the stomach and the soul!

    I would say this Mexican cuisine was no different than places like Azteca or La Fuente. The food was good (how different can one Mexican restaurant taste from another unless it's a different style) and prices were competitive. Service was friendly. I did like their appetizer salsa and freoles with chips. Very tasty. This restaurant was large and typical in decor as you might expect.

    Service - Very friendly and attentive folks who work here. Food - Got the Chimichanga with ground beef. The ground beef filling was delicious and well-seasoned. The salsa which came with the chips was fresh. The re-fried beans were great. The red rice was alright. I've had better rice at other mexican restaurants. Not so good - I love a good Horchata in general. But sadly, enough the horchata at this place was mediocre at best. While the flavor was fine, it just felt heavily watered down. Like whoever is in-charge of making it really decided to be SUPER CHEAP! Imagine you have chocolate powder meant for 1 glass of milk, but you decide to break that powder among 2 glasses of milk. Not gonna taste so good right? Exactly! Horchata is supposed to be a relatively cheap drink to make with a high profit margin already. Why do you folks have to dilute the heck out of an already cheap drink? Another not so good - I went here during core lunch hours on a weekend, like at 1pm. They decide to run the loud vacuum cleaner at this time! And not only that, but run it close to all the tables where folks are eating! Seriously now?? I don't enjoy having dust in my food, with the awfully loud background noise. I felt pretty irritated during the long 10 minutes that it lasted. You guys need to plan better, wake up a bit early, come into the restaurant an hour or so earlier, and do the preparation and cleaning. Not DURING business hours. It's clear that the management is either clueless or very new at running a restaurant. I may come back to this place another time to try something if I feel like it. If it's a better experience with drinks and indoor env, I'll bump the review to 4 or 5, or if it's still the same, I'll rate it lower.

It feels very Redmond/part of the community and is a great place for a casual meal, though the food does also hold up pretty well for takeout. The staff is great. A lot of people who work there have worked there for years and years, and it's nice to see this kind of employee loyalty. All the servers are kind and happy to be there. I go 10-12x per year and have never once had a bad interaction, or even one that was anything less than joyful. Their food is incredible. So much flavor, fresh food, delicious. My go-tos are the cheese enchiladas and the shrimp tacos. Both perfect to me. They make their own salsas and the green salsa is so good that I generally buy it in bulk when possible. The food and salsas have been consistently delicious every time I have been. Never an off meal. Lot's of options for dietary needs too- lots of gluten free, vegetarian, dairy free, etc. I have also gotten catering from them and it's amazing and well loved. They put a ton of care into everything. This will forever be my favorite restaurant in Redmond!

With fast service, a good location off the Sammamish River Trail, and handy bike parking in front, we must return in summer when tables outside in front on a warm early evening would make pleasant dining. Simple menus help a restaurant run better, but for a place big enough for thirteen or more tables plus takeout, the menu is limited. Our sunny midwinter late Friday afternoon-evening found the place almost empty with one other table and three takeouts. A more varied menu with other Mexican favorites might draw a larger crowd. It's def underrated.
