    $2 tacos and free chips.

    The bar daily specials can't be beat. $2 tacos and $3 beer are the best deal in town. Only downside is the meat in the tacos is tiny. But you get free chips and salsa so that makes up a bit. Usually no other customers though. They should do a Groupon for dinner advertising.

    Listing I picked from via DoorDash did not state no chips or salsa like the others and didn't get any, second I ordered queso dip appetizer that common sense should come with chips yet none. Plus asked for utensils none provided. Not good when you're in a hotel. Very dissatisfied

    Sizzling steak fajitas fed both of us easily.

    We randomly chose this place for dinner on a Wednesday evening around 7pm. Place was busy but we got our food fairly quick. It took a bit to get our order in, but it was dinner rush hour. This restaurant is beautifully decorated and clean! The bathroom has beautiful sinks and well maintained. We ordered the horchata.. and they refill for free! Steak fajitas were amazing and very tasty. What a gem in Lake Stevens! Such an authentic place. Highly recommend!

    We tried this location for the first time and the food was amazing. The restaurant was nice and spacious on the inside. From the street it looked like there were only a few tables but there are many tables past the hostess counter. The chips were hot and fresh along with the salsa. I ordered the crab burrito and my wife ordered the chile verde burrito. Both were amazing. The guacamole was delicious and the kids loved it. The staff were so friendly and the service was quick. We will definitely be back soon.

    I've gone here a few times in the last couple weeks. I guess that says enough, right? The food is delicious! The service is great! It's not a huge restaurant but I've come in with a group of 8 and another occasion with a group of 23. On all occasions we were seated rather quickly and attended to kindly! You don't always get that with a group of 23 nowadays! The owner has come around and made conversation with us which has made us feel as valued customers. We've had different servers every time and every time it's excellent service. The nachos are delicious! Highly recommend! All the other food we've tasted though too has been authentic and tasty! We'll be back!

    Busy restaurant. Customer service is great. Food is great and drinks are awesome. I love their drinking glasses as well as their kid cups. I got a funky appetizer called no name. It consisted of a large taquito smother in lots of cheese. I decided to get it as a meal, but it's more for sharing. The chicken inside was on the dry side and didn't have a whole lot of taste. The chips and salsa were yummy. Also, the rice and beans are delicious as well. Large portions and the tamale was alright. The enchilada was pretty good.

    Amazing Mexican food! BUT be warned, not all Ixtapas are the same. Every one is slightly different, but after trying the one in Lynnwood & the one in Snohomish, I have to say this Lake Stevens location is the BEST. Bomb salsa, delicious passionfruit margaritas & the Chile Verde is a must try!

    Daily bar specials.

    My wife and I met our friends here for our monthly Taco Tuesday meet. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Tabs were easily and accurately split. Ixtapa doesn't offer a daily happy hour; however, the bar does offer different daily specials. On Tuesday's, crunchy ground beef or chicken tacos are $0.99 and soft shell tacos are $1.50. Complimentary chips and salsa are provided to munch on while slurping draft beer. Not all Ixtapa's have draft beer or a bar. I'm happy that this location has both. The bar is small and fills quickly. Pints of Dos Equis were $4.50. My wife ordered a side of Bean Dip for $1.50. The Bean Dip had a tasty layer of chile verde sauce on it. Nice touch. We each had a couple crunchy ground beef tacos for $0.99 each. The tacos had a nice amount of well seasoned ground beef, crisp lettuce and cheese blend. I love tacos. Our server was friendly and efficient. We will definitely add this Ixtapa to our monthly Taco Tuesday meets.

    My outrageous bill!!!!

    Had the worst experience with Ixtapa in Lake Stevens, WA. Ordered carryout and arrived home to find out we were missing part of our order. Called them back and let them know. They informed me that I was not charged for the Item. I then looked over my receipt and noticed that I was charged $16.95 for a side of Mojo de Ajo Camarones in addition to my Carne Asada for $24.00. I expressed my frustration with the total cost of my order for such a little amount of food. I could have gone to Azteca and got the same thing and paid just $23.50 for a lot more food and much better taste. Won't make that mistake again. Never ordering from them again.

    Dos Agaves Mexican Restaurant - Lunch burrito special

    Dos Agaves Mexican Restaurant

    Some of the best Mexican north of White Center! Very kitschy decor but for me, it was endearing,…read morereminded me of some of my favorite mexican restaurants in south texas. Ordered the chorizo queso and we nearly fought for the last of it- Husband got a smothered burritto and was making happy noises the whole time, I got the beef enchilladas with mole - very sweet if you're into that. Amazing service as well.

    A friend of mine live here and normally we meet somewhere closer to Seattle, but this time I…read moreinsisted on coming to his zip code, when I asked him about Mexican food, he said there wasn't anything good in town and that he normally goes to Everett. I didn't buy it because I know Marysville has Las Margaritas and La Hacienda, 2 places I grew up with in Seattle and although, one left the city and the other has closed locations, I'd like to believe either can still serve a respectable plate. So, I found this place and suggested it and this is my report. $25 for lunch was a bit steep, that was just the entrée with tax and tip. No beverage or extras. Salsa was okay, could have been hotter. I aksed for something hotter, but they said they didn't have anything. Pictures showed multiple salsas and bottles of sauce, but we weren't offered any. The plate came with healthy portions of rice and beans. But the portion of Carne Asada did not impress. It also had the smaller portion of guacamole, it was like a half teaspoon, not enough to compliment the entrée. I won't drag this out. The food was pretty good, it did take some salt and pepper to really pop, but it was better than any local chain Mexican food. I will also say the service improved from cold to friendly and neither of us left hungry. Speaking of cold, there was no hot water in the restroom. I don't know why the Health Department allows this. It takes soap and hot water to wash hands. If there is no hot water, you are not a clean restaurant in my book. Still, I'd probably give this place a 3 with a point deduction for price and for not appearing to offer the same menu items previous reviews advertise. Fastest way to earn 5 stars is to increase the protein portion and put hot water in the restroom. For the record, there was a supreme Enchilada special for $12. That is very reasonable and also why I didn't hesitate to pay $18 for the Carne Asada Lunch, I just assumed, I would get the same value, but did not. This place is worth checking out, but it was also empty and I can see why. If I were back in the area, I would most likely try Las Margaritas or La Hacienda. I feel confident my dollar goes further there.
