Wow if you haven't been to this Ixtapa YOU NEED TO GO!!! The food here is absolutely amazing nothing like what I would expect but they still have all the classics plus so many amazing new menu items Ixtapa Appetizer (aka the no name) Small deep-fried burrito (chicken or picadillo) with melted cheese, guacamole, sour cream, green onions, tomatoes, and salsa. My friend actually ate it all! Tacos Arrachera Marinated skirt steak in tacos with onions, cilantro, and avocado. Served with our traditional Esquite on the side. Best tacos I've had in a long time! Had to eat it all and then came back another week for more! Can't stop talking about this place
