The inside is decorated beautifully. It's different than any other place we have been and it adds to the flair of the restaurant. The food was just okay. We ordered queso as an appetizer and it was delicious. Our fajitas were very bland. There wasn't a lot of seasoning, the meat was chopped up very small and there wasn't a lot of meat. We didn't have a terrible experience. Our visit was just okay

We had the Carne Diablo with corn tortillas, free chips and salsa and 2 margaritas - one house lime and the Oaxacan. $40.Having been to Ixtapa in Mexico I was interested to try this chain. It did not disappoint as the flavors brought back memories of the same flavors that I experienced in Mexico.I think they nailed the authentic tastes but could have added more vegetables (and onions) and some queso Blanco.The most impressive thing was the Oaxacan which everyone should try to get the Ixtapa Mexico experience.P.S. as you can tell by the extra salsa cup. They have good salsa here.

We've driven by this place almost daily the past year since moving to Monroe and kept saying we need to give it a try. Finally we met some family that was visiting there for dinner. It's a cute chain restaurant with fun lighting and decorations and lots of space for big parties.Being a proper family of lushes, we promptly asked to be seated in the bar because let's be honest, going out for Mexican food basically means going out for margaritas with some chips on the side. We were seated right away and our server came over to take our drink order. There are lots of margarita choices and we were excited to try them all out.We ran into a snag when ordering food, my sister and I are both Celiac and can't have gluten. Mexican is usually one of the easiest types of food for us tho because of all the corn based products. Unfortunately our server wasn't at all familiar and we had some trouble getting her to just double check with the kitchen.We also waited a really long time for drinks, food, and drink refills. While the service wasn't our favorite, the food and margaritas were quite solid. I mean they have so. many. flavors. of margaritas guys, it's pretty impressive. We sampled a decent handful with the mango and guava bring favorites. I also enjoyed my tacos and didn't have any issues with gluten.Definitely a solid place and definitely worth taking a peek during happy hour to see how many flavors of margaritas you can try in one sitting. Gotta catch em all.

These type of Mexican restaurants... you've been to a few, you've been to them all. Here is an exception. My Wofe has been coming here for 20 yrs or something. I wasn't too excited about going, as I didn't have much expectation. But there is something really special here. All of the components are tasty, and they all work well together. The rice, the beans, the salsa all stand out, alone. Good spot. Recommended.

Good, simple food. Enjoyed our house maragitas, enchiladas and churros. Fun atmosphere. Staff was very helpful, made good suggestions and checked backed often to refill water and chips. If back in Monroe, would stop in again.

Pretty bland and generic Mexican food, nothing special, obviously just Sysco provided beans and ingredients. Margarita was weak and tasted like pre mix ones.

Nice classic decor and the staff is super friendly and attentive. Both the carne asada and pollo asado were just ok, not very flavorful, somewhat bland. Healthy portions of meat.

Was I expecting authentic Mexican food when deciding to eat at a chain restaurant? Absolutely not. Was I more than pleasantly surprised with the hospitality, kindness, and excellent customer service? Absolutely.I frequent the Gold Bar area for hiking and have decided Ixtapa will now be a regular spot solely for the kind and attentive service! I have to say, that as a Latina myself, the vibe in here felt incredibly colorful, welcoming, and like I was at home. Beautiful decor, lively music, and even more cheerful servers. What more could you ask for after a long day of hiking? My mango margarita was strong, my sopa de albondigas was delicious, and my heart left happy after a visit to Ixtapa Restaurant in Monroe. :-)

Ixtapa, has been a long time staple of Monroe. They've been serving the community by keeping belly's full for decades. A lot of the staff has remained the same, which speaks volumes of the longevity of the business. It's great to see some many familiar faces that I remember growing up.

Wonderful food, great service and reasonable pricing for lunch menu. Restaurant was clean and had a very family-business feel.
