Being a native Texan, TexMex food is something I am all too familiar with. That being said, I am also pretty picky. However, this is the only restaurant I have found that can match TexMex pretty close. Of course it’s an Alabama restaurant and it will never be true and authentic but this is as good as I’ve found so far. Quick order to table turnaround and the staff is always friendly. There is a reason it’s blocked on most nights and worth it, IMO.

Was not impressed. Traveling for work and decided to try this place for dinner. The enchiladas verde were not bad, but the margarita was very watered down in my opinion. I asked for sliced jalapeños, not pickled ones, was told they ‘didn’t do that’. Very underwhelming experience. I had hoped for more! Bottom line, I would go back now that the level of expectation has been set.

Never been so sick … Food poisoning! Chicken chimichanga… body aches, chills, throwing up… Fever! I will never go anywhere near that place again!

Ay Dios Mio! Walking in the door this place looked promising – Mexican music playing, Mexican staff, sombreros hanging from the wall. But alas, it was all for show. The margaritas, though large, were made from some crappy mix. The salsa was the canned purée kind. The chips, not made in house. The«guacamole» was some powdered avocado paste – be sure to specify«fresh mexican» guacamole if you want something that actually comes from avocados. But by far the worst part was the entrees. When The Cheescake Factory makes better tamales you know you’re messing up. The refried beans were clearly canned, the rice tasted like uncle bens. Avoid this place at all costs.

I’m used to hole-in-the-wall Mexican places for dirt cheap prices that are delicious. This place is a bit more diner friendly and a bit more expensive. The food is good and the portions are huge. They have great happy hour deals.

I’m in town pretty often on business and I always make sure to eat here. The salsa is the best I have ever had in Alabama! It is extremely fresh and has a good kick! Definitely worth a stop and the service is great and prices are low!

Always a solid place to go for a quick and tasty mexican meal. I almost always go with the fajita salad(steak please!) but everything else is good as well. Nothing special, but good.

Very good service, food was really good-average Mexican tho, not a bad thing. And my husband had the special $ 2 margaritas which were actually really good! Is fill stuck with top shelf margaritas which were really good and $ 6 which is average of good price for top shelf –and it was really good! I hate the usual overly tart ones at most places. The waiter was very good at checking on is frequently. I would go back! In fact my hubby has kept going baxk while in town working.

The food here is very bland and doesn’t taste like much at all. We were all disappointed with everything we have tried here with the exception of the beans. The beans tasted good.

Well, I have to say that this place is disappointing. I almost think they just buy random ready made stuff and just warm it up in the microwave or oven. I’ve had great Mexican food from California to Connecticut(yeah, weird right?), so I’ve tasted my fair share of Mexican cuisine. I don’t think this place makes anything from scratch. I’m sure the salsa verde they put on top of the enchiladas I got was from a jar. The best thing about Ixtapa was the free chips and salsa and the Margarita I got was pretty good.

Meh. I really should have listened to the other reviews, but I wanted to decide for myself since people can be critical about whether Mexican food is authentic(this is Alabama, so I don’t expect authentic, just tasty). The reviews were right on, though; this place is nothing special. Bland, generic Mexican food at reasonable prices. Not terrible, but definitely wouldn’t go back.

This is a little over average Mexican restaurant in Montgomery. It’s in a good location. The atmosphere was ok. The service was quick and the food was ok.

After reading other reviews decided this was the place to go for Mexican in Montgomery. Turns out all the good reviews are true. And we drove past the other Ixtapa on Atlanta Highway and this one definitely looks nicer. It’s cleaner and newer. The food was delicious. We had chilaquiles with chicken and the supreme chicken quesadilla. The guacamole was so fresh and tasty too. Our server was just great too. We had everything we needed and he didn’t keep us waiting. Tonight was Monday night so it was quiet. Hope we can go back soon for some more tasty, fresh, delicious Mexican food.

None of the Mexican restaurants in Montgomery make me jump up and down, but if I get a craving for Mexican food, I’m heading to Ixtapa. Good cheese dip that you can get spicy(instead of the gloppy mess that other places serve, that is somehow still bland even with jalapeños in it).

Tacos con carne were fantastic! I ordered the frijoles charro vs the refried beans and they were spicy and flavorful. The salsa and guacamole tasted fresh and had quite a kick. I will definitely come here again.

Good food at a good price. We sat at the bar and were got our beers quickly. Of course, not much of a selection on tap — for a Mexican place I would have figured a couple more and/or a craft beer. Food order took awhile, the bartender was moving fast, could have used help with all the drinks/food orders at the bar. But the food came out hot — was done«A-OK», especially for around $ 10. I asked for more salsa & it came out within 2 – 3 minutes.

We often wondered where our server was… The waiting is the hardest part. Waiting to order. Waiting to get a drink refilled. Waiting to receive our order. Waiting for a drink refill. Waiting to order dessert. Waiting for a drink refill. Waiting for dessert. Waiting for the bill. The food was OK not splinded as we had hoped.

3.5 Decent food, fast friendly service. The chips were good but salsa was bland. Cheesy chimi was good. Friend said steak wasn’t good. Everyone was happy
