I was unaware the whole town closed at 9 pm, I am glad they let me squeeze in last minute. The salsa was chunky tasty and fresh. The combo plate was super flavorful and felt like it was made with a lot of love. Don't miss this place. read more

Good food, takeout so no ambience rating. Service fine. Sorry I can't be more specific, I'll update when I go back.

Generous portions of well prepared food. Ixtapa burrito was delicious! Service was great! read more

Florence is struggling to return to the level of service that was pre-COVID. This restaurant seems to be effected by this problem as well. As a part-time resident of Southern California, this type of cuisine is widely available with excellent options at reasonable prices. As such, we are accustomed to a higher quality of both service and food. Ixtapa has an extensive menu, but most of the offerings share a similar flavor profile and pedestrian preparation. Sauces were good, but not great, chips could have been prepared off-site and my guess is that the freezer is where most of the ingredients come from. Our order needed to be corrected twice, and even after the second time, it STILL was not as we had requested - we gave up trying to make it right. Given that there was a skeleton crew working on Tuesday at about 1 in the afternoon - keeping orders straight seemed to be difficult. Our waiter disappeared for long periods (perhaps helping in the kitchen) but making it hard to address needs. We never received a refill on chips, iced tea (which had a funky aftertaste) or even a courtesy check. Disappointing. The carpet needed attention, and the general appearance of the restaurant is tired and dated. Realistically, this venue is good for modest Mexican cuisine, but keep your expectations low (do not be influenced by their website) Perhaps they will be able to lift quality and service as Florence recovers from the pandemic. We paid about $40 for two meals and one iced tea including the tip. We will give Ixtapa another try down the line, although we will be checking out some of the other Mexican restaurants in the meantime. read more

Phenominal food and friendly staff! Has a relaxed family feel with fun accents. Great place to come for a casual dinner with friends or family. Very reasonable prices and large portions read more

We grabbed dinner here after a long day of driving. The service was great and fast. The food was delicious and serving sizes were very generous! read more

So good! I'd been looking for a really solid, old school, chips and salsa sit down Tex Mex place. They seem to be dying out and being replaced by counter service taquerias. This place was exactly what I was looking for. The Ixtapa Burrito and the Chile Verde were my favorites. (I went a couple times, I didn't eat all that in one sitting!). My kid loved the Super Nachos (and I confirmed he wasn't wrong). Strongly recommended. read more

We love Mexican food so were excited to try this. We should have known by the appearance outside. The menu looked great but the prices were ridiculous for this place. Compared to the night before at the Waterfront depot... we were shocked. We split the Crema and chimichanga. Both were nothing special. Portion sizes were on the small size. The margarita was like a kool aid slushy. I usually don't prefer to write negative reviews but this is one to be avoided. I will say our server was pleasant and very good. Had the prices not have been so much, I would have said it was okay. The meals of combos were 18-24 .00! The salsa was generous but mostly like tomato sauce with a bit of cilantro. read more

Went there for the first time. I rate the food 3 star but the service 5 stars. Excellent service. Our waiter was there when we needed him and not around went we didn't. Sign of a great waiter/waitress. Food was tasty and we got out food very fast. Would probably try another place next time. read more

Made me sick to my stomach. Never eating here again!!! Who knows where this zip tie came From. No visit to our table from the manager, no apologies, nothing. Very poor customer concern. read more

Ixtapa - Made me sick to my stomach. Returned and won't eat any food here again. - Mexican Near Me - Florence, Oregon

We really enjoyed our lunch here while visiting Florence. A very comfortable and tidy restaurant with exceptionally friendly and attentive service. The salsa and hot chips were wonderful and our plate of cheese enchiladas were delicious. Just as we finished our lunch, a complimentary dessert of whipped cream and cinnamon arrived at our table. Now, that's a truly sweet surprise! read more

Wonderful. We love MX food and have it often. Great enchilada, ceviche, margaritas. They were very intuitive to infant needs without having to ask. Relleno (sp) csn up their game, but still a 5. read more

Tasty fajitas and carne asada. Large portions! A great authentic vibe. the margaritas are Yuge. definitely recommend.

I have gone twice. Both groups I went with enjoyed the dishes that were served. The service was nice. They are currently the Mexican place of choice in the area. read more

My "go to" Mexican restaurant in Florence. While it may not rival Las Cuatro Milpas in San Diego's Barrio Logan, it certainly hits the spot when I get a craving for some good authentic Mexican food. Strongly recommended! read more

We saw that Ixtapa had mole, and we love mole, so we decided to try theirs while in Florence yesterday. We both could not believe how delicious it was! We got it to go, drive down to near the river and sat and ate. The portions were generous, everything was very yummy and fresh. The bead, rice, tortillas and especially the chicken and mole were perfectly prepared and amazing for being to go food. They have figured this out, they know how to make delicious food under all the crazy constraints of the rules of the lockdown. If you are wondering if you can get good Mexican food during this, just go here. You are likely to be utterly delighted like we were! read more

Amazing service by our waitress! She was so kind and helpful. Food was fantastic and a great value. Loved it!

Prices have gone up substantially and service down from before. Understaffed. Probably our last visit read more

Good food, the portions are huge. The salsa is some of the best I've ever had. I usually order take out so I can't say much about dine in service but they great having everything you'll need in the bag. It's big and seating is spaced nicely. read more

For Mexican food on the Oregon coast, this place does it well! We travel to Mexico yearly and in my opinion the food is similar to what we've had in Mexico. I realize there are variations depending on what part of the country you are in but it feels like this restaurant is trying to encompass a variety of the country's food varieties. The servings were generous with attentive service and started with refillable chips with salsa. I would recommend you try this place if you're in the mood for Mexican food! read more

Flavors were great - service super friendly Little timing issue and some foods on plate were hot and some just warm. read more

We love ixtapa! Always consistent, great food. Always. Huge portions. Huge margaritas!

From Texas visiting ..never expected Oregon to have good fresh yum Mexican food. Clean and well staffed. Would go back again ..all four of us ordered differently and enjoyed everything. The quesa and guacamole and salsa was fresh and delish! read more

The food was the best I've had in Florence in nearly three years. The service was good as well. I'm looking forward to eating there again soon! I'm read more

This is a legit Mexican restaurant, I'm very impressed with the food. I had a Chimichanga and some nachos and they were excellent. I'm subtracting one point for the state of the bathroom though, it was really disgusting (*shiver*). If you're going to eat there, make sure you "go" before you head over there. read more

The food is very good and portions are huge! Wait staff is very kind and attentive as well. Our family went more than once while in town!

Not as good as the reviews on Yelp. Rather disappointed. Service is fair, waitress is a bit short and in a hurry. Got the food quick but I guess it's not busy so that helps. I got Cameron's Monterey. This is my staple mex food. This was the worst I ever had and I've had it a lot. I got a super small portion of shrimp and barely any veggies. I don't get rice and beans, I get salad. But yes, yes I still pay full price. It would be 1 star but wife's food was good. Off the list to come back. In fact I'm hitting McDonald's to finish filling the gut. Plus dogs want burgers. read more

Generous portions, good margaritas, food was decent, fast service nice staff resonable prices

Best Mexican restaurant in town !! Excellent food, giant portions, very affordable, service is excellent

Awesome food and service was good when I was driving the 101 highway. Enjoyed my food over there and taste is better than other Reston that area. I strongly recommend this place when you are in that area. read more

All the staff was very friendly. The food was very tasty and affordable. Great Mexican food!

We ordered "seafood" chimichangas and the only seafood inside was imitation crab. In addition, there were "bonus" pieces of 1" pieces pork fat in the sauce. It is not listed as an ingredient on the menu. This was not an issue for me but my partner is pescatarian. Fortunately she is not allergic to pork or has religious issues with the consumption of it. To add insult to injury, the price was $18 per entree! Never going there again. read more

I like their Mexican style poblano and their burritos. They have seating for large groups.

Inedible. I do not recommend the Diablo Burrito. Strong vinegar taste. Shrimp tasted spoiled. Also, half of order was incorrect. Staff was polite. read more

Maybe I just don't like Mexican anymore, but this was one of the worst. We don't like spicy, we asked if anything was, they said No. However, everything was very spicy even the rice and beans. There was NO taste to anything. No spices at all. Bland, bland, bland! We got combination plates with 8 items and basically it was all gross. The taco shell was burnt too. Fake cheese. Barfola! read more

This place would always make my favorite burrito for me even though it wasn't on the menu. They make the best Mexican food in town, no question. I'm leaving this town and this will be the only restaurant in town that I'll miss. Not only is the food on point but so is their service. Every time. Thank you Ixtapa staff for always having exceptional food and service as well as always making my favorite burrito! read more

Traveling up the coast from Los Angeles and woke up wanting some Mexican food. Choose this place on photos alone and I'm glad I did. The food was excellent. Happy I made this stop. read more

This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in Florence. I love the food and the service is fast and friendly. read more

We all know that opinions vary.... but I'll put this one out and walk away. Nachos Mexican Restaurant, in Eugene (out of business for years now), had THE BEST nachos available. You can tell I'm still a little salty about the closure. LOL But now moving on to a relevant eatery... Ixtapa, in this case. I stopped here because every place in town was packed on the NYE, and because I love Mexican food, and because I'm adventurous like that. I wasn't disappointed. I thought the service was second-to-none. They were absolutely slammed and somehow still managed to get me all the additional drinks and sides I asked for, quickly. I had their biggest plate of nachos and found it to be just right in size, delicious, and not at all expensive. The beef was yummy. I'll be eating here again, when in Florence and craving Mexican. Gotta try a burrito fiesta cylinder next time!!! read more
