I ordered chicken fajitas. Not only were they rather bland, but it was actually a fairly small portion spread over a large plate and with very little chicken at all, mostly onions and peppers. Best praise I can give them is that they didn't come out on a sizzling showy plate. Other members of my party didn't love their food either. The restaurant looks its age, which is fine, but the interior has a strange combination of dark and cold lighting that feels neither totally casual nor intimate. Service was attentive and timely at least. I can see it being a decent place to bring family or kids, but I would go just about anywhere else for good Mexican food.

But let's be honest... THIS is what I've always looked forward to at the end of every meal. Apparently I've reached the age where I have to make sure I request my whipped-cream-covered delish treat, instead of waiting for it. Can't leave with out it! I've loved these since I was just a little! But after all these years, it still tastes like childhood. There's something really special about a family-owned local restaurant that stays true to itself--the familiar faces, the same welcoming feeling, and those little traditions you remember growing up with. Thank you, Ixtapa, for never changing. Some things are simply too good to outgrow. If you have not visited this lovely restaurant, you are definitely missing out. Whether you are locals or traveling thru, you have to stop by! -Tiffany LeAnne Thomas -- eating lunch at Ixtapa Mexican Restaurant.

I had a craving for burrito and tacos so we're not give this place a try and so I did. Ricky's food truck is easy to find. It's just right off of State Street and just a short walk from the Yard, another popular food truck area. I ordered an Al pastor burrito and two tacos (asada and cabeza). All the food was super warm even after a short 15 minute drive back to my destination. The burrito had a subtle flavor, not salty and all ingredients including the rice and beans were of equal proportions. The meat although not salty was lacking that barbacoa flavor that usually accustomed to. The tortilla was not chewy and soft as I hope it would have been. It was hard and dried-out towards the bottom. I was hoping the last bits would redeem itself but sadly fell short. This one is a 7.5/10. As for the tacos, the asada had some flavor but the most flavorful had to be the cabeza. Both meats seasoned well and not too salty like the burrito. I opted to douse each offering with a small cup of green (tomatillo) sauce. I did have a pleasant chat with the owner whose food truck has been around for 25 years and Ricky was named after his son. Maybe it was an off day for Ricky's not sure. I'll give their other offerings another try whenever I'm around the area again.

If you're in Salem, you may have seen construction projects across the city. The entrance to this business' parking lot was obstructed by cones, which I can only imagine impacted their business. Always one for the 'underdog', I made a point to show my support and bypassing the cones; entering from 25th St. vs State Street. Anything to support a small family run business. I had a small window of time to get home, and thankfully, after placing a To Go order, they had it packaged and ready in a flash! They also have a couple of shaded picnic tables if you'd like to dine on site. They have a generous menu priced reasonably. My Al pastor tacos were delicious and hit the spot, after working through my lunch break. I'll definitely make a point to stop again!
