Ixtapa Bay Mariscos

Food is great — I love their chicken enchiladas with sour cream! Good portions too for the price. The only reason I didn’t give this place 5 stars is you never know what kind of service you will get. Some people their are all smiles, while others it’s hard to get them to crack a smile. Overall, I would recommend this place. Good food.

Food was great! I recommend it, cheese and salsa with chips to start and charro beans.
Heads up, the people there aren’t very nice. they won’t smile, and won’t respond to a thank you. How rude!

My parents recently discovered this place and took my sister and me here when we were in town recently. I’m always down for some Mexican seafood, so I was like, «Bring it on.»
The atmosphere was pleasant enough: clean and comfortable. It was not particularly bumping on a Saturday night. Hopefully they’re doing better during lunch. The server came by quickly to take our drink orders while we leafed through the very large menu. As I mentioned already, there are tons of seafood dishes but some meat based stuff (and all your usual Tex-​Mex). My mom got a big shrimp cocktail, my sister got one of the seafood soups, my father got the fried snapper, and I got the octopus in chipotle sauce.
We started off with some nachos, which were excellent. Flavor was great, and the toppings were evenly distributed (often overlooked in the art of nacho). They brought out the well advertised charro beans at this point, which were delightful. Entrees came out shortly thereafter. Well, except for mine. The server had misunderstood me and brought out the wrong thing (even though I pointed out what I wanted on the menu). Not so many gringos ordering octopus, I suppose. At any rate, my proper entrée came out soon after. In the meantime, I had beer to drink so it was all good.
I’d say everything was solid. The octopus in my dish was cut up into extremely small pieces and I think the dish would have shined with some larger chunks of octopus. The sauce was very good, though. My sister said her soup was good but a little on the bland side. My parents both enjoyed their dishes very much. I tried a bit of my dad’s snapper and I’d say it was probably the best thing on the table.
Overall, I enjoyed myself and may bring the rating up with a few visits. It’s just that the service was more awkward than you’d expect in a place like this and some of the entrees just need a little more to bring them over the top.

I’m all about a deal. So I love this place.
Get this. For their lunch special this is everything what you get for 5.95.
For less than SIX dollars, in order:
— A large soft drink with unlimited refills. None of that one-​can-​with-​no-​refills crap.
— A an order of chips and salsa AND queso.
— A cup of «frijoles charros.» A sort of peasant bean stew with ranchero beans, bacon, and cut up hotdogs.
— A not stingy order of fajitas (I order beef and chicken, no extra charge) with the usual fixin’s, ie guac, sour cream, pico, mixed grilled veggies.
— Rice and beans.
— Three or tortillas of your choice.
The food is solid, striking a good balance between white-​people Mexican food and Mexican-​people Mexican food.
Did I mention I pay 6 dollars for all that?

Parking is trick to get into but once in the lot there is plentiful parking
The lunch specials are awesome, and the chips come with salsa and queso.
I recommend this place to everyone

Authentic and good pricing. Seafood is great.

Luis likes this place. I could skip it. He likes their shrimp cocktail. I order the fajita tacos. Yesterday I ordered the flameado fajita tacos. I was not impressed. The veggies were tasteless so I trashed them with the guacamole. I do not enjoy the groundmeat tacos here. We went to Keller’s Hamburger after this and had a great burger.
Business is not as booming as it was in the better economy so staff told me that weekend traffic is not like it used to be.
The bathroom is always very clean when I go there.

The wife and I have been on a taqueria tear recently. Granted, this place is not a taqueria per se, but we decided to give it try on a Saturday for lunch anyway. We chose from the lunch special menu that is offered also on Saturdays. The price was $ 5.95 for a very large portion of all the standard TEx-​Mex plates, plus a soft drink. Good value. They offered soft tacos but I got fajitas and the wife got chile relleno.
The service was warm and friendly – the waitress gave us a cup of the bean soup for free and it was very good. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was not. The portions are extremely large but that does not compensate for the complete lack of flavor. The wife’s relleno tasted of old oil and she did not like it at all. My fajitas were average at best. There just was nothing going on there, not even with the pico.
The place touts itself as a seafood restaurant so it is entirely possible that we did not place to their strength, or maybe we got the wrong cook. Who knows? But with all the really tasty and cheap taquerias in our neighborhood, we really are not in a hurry to return. Other people may have a different experience. When we went there were a few other people but not a lot, so maybe that means something, maybe not.

Oh no… this food gives you a stomach ache. Its a nice Mexican restaurant with the décor and friendly staff. I ordered the ‘camarones a la diabla’ and its shrimp in very hot sauce. Its a plate with a good portion of shrimp and a side of rice and salad. Everything was going great until I turn to my left hand side and I noticed a few cockroaches on the floor running around (makes you think whats really going on in the kitchen). I couldn’t wait to get home because of my upset stomach. Im sorry but I am not going back.

ok i will just say you have to try it… very good food…
