Ixtapa Bay Mariscos

Went there on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy, but a party of four walked out because they never got drinks or chips & salsa. Prices do not reflect the dishes. The caldo de pescado was good. The fried fish which looked more like a piranha, is not seasoned at all! They just give you a large side of garlic in butter to add it yourself. There are definitely better seafood places than this. First and last time eating here!

We were looking for a place to have a late lunch to celebrate my birthday. We showed up - a party of 11. We felt welcomed immediately as they took no time to seat us. We could tell we overwhelmed our waitress but she did well overall. The food was really tasty with the exception of the tortillas and salsa. The tortillas tasted like cheap store bought ones. The salsa was too hot - it was a condiment salsa not a chip dip salsa.

Ixtapa bay on Garland road..Over all great service, delicious fresh food, super laid back atmosphere, ok prices.Love the complimentary borracho beans! Also chips, salsa and cheese dip yum yum.Been here many times and I have always walked out with a very content tummy..Seafood is mostly of course Mexican seafood dishes that are well prepared and very fresh.I recommend it.. I feel bad for the previous bad reviews.

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.

Ixtapa Bay Mariscos... To start off the place wasn't difficult to find. Parking is on their lot and spacious. My boyfriend, and three friends of mine went on a Monday, it was everyones first time. The place wasn't crowded at all. We entered and we were the only customers their, it took a while until someone came to sit us down but no biggie. We all ordered our drinks and the drinks came out pretty fast, we had chips and salsa to snack on while we waited for our food. I ordered a small shrimp cocktail that cost $8.49 and my boyfriend ordered a chimichanga plate for $7.95. (We all agreed our food tasted good) All in all the the customer service was good and the place was nice and clean.

Omg my new favorite place eat. Very good service and GREAT FOOD!!!!!Froed osters are to die for. Highly recomended

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 entree 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.

This place is fabulous! They give you free chips, salsa AND queso. And all is very good. Also, with any food they give you a bowl of beans that is so good!!!!

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!

Muy buena la comida y la atención también . Es un lugar familiar y también se venden bebidas
