I love the shrimp tacos! Definitely authentic mexican food. Can be crowded so nice to be able to sit outside. Definitely worth a try!

At Ixtapa, you’ll find more than just a place to eat; it’s an experience. The restaurant exudes a truly relaxing and authentic Mexican atmosphere

Went today to buy a fresh coconut, but I got the worst one. These people should know when a coconut has gone bad. The lady let me choose a fresh one. Opposite of what it was. Sour water and no meat in the inside. Also 8.50 for a coconut that isn’t good. Never get a fresh coconut from them. Get a mature coconut instead.

This is THE BEST Mexican place within hundreds of miles. The food is ALWAYS so delicious. The menu is always great. The tacos are a delight, the burritos are on point. The weekends they do Aguachile; it is phenomenal! This is one of the three dishes we had on Saturday. We also had their mixed fajitas, and they were perfectly seasoned. Let’s talk about their tortillas, soft and delicious. They have a great selection of beverages from horchata to beers to fresh coconut water. Their deserts are even solid. Basically this is a MUST GO spot in the triangle. It is the best Mexican food you will have in the state. That’s not an exaggeration. I am someone who loves food; and regularly enjoys going out to eat as well as cooking. I love this spot and I will go after hikes as often I can. I hope they continue to do well and expand!

Used to be good back then … now it’s very white washed. The food lacks flavor now

Food is great but the service is horrible..! Every 5 minutes people ask for our check out and we not finished our food… rushing every minute that was s$@&$)(
Awesome Hillsborough Experience not to be missed. Extraordinary menu for a family run restaurant - many dishes with fish/seafood - and service and atmosphere (along the banks of the Eno) make outdoor dining a MUST in good weather (it's always Finer in Hillsborough, NC!!!) Just off Churton Street - worth looking for!

A hole-in-the-wall joint with excellent food. The chips are magnificent.

Great food and great friendly service! The tamales are absolutely amazing except they are only available certain days.

Will NEVER return Awful!The food was nasty and dull. It had no flavor. Our waiter never asked if we needed anything or if we were ok.We waited for over an hour for 3 simple orders. We were told by the hostess that she saw our food sitting for a long time, yet nothing was done. They forgot about us. Because our food was sitting, it was completely cold when we got it. They took the food back to heat it per our request, which added more time to the hour wait.This is the most disorganized, inept restaurant staff that I've ever dealt with, and it's the absolute worst restaurant service that I've ever had. There are too many good Mexican restaurants in the area to waste time going to this one. Horrible.
Sweet people, good food with good portions!
