Our family loves this place; so much so that my wife has me drive 40 minutes to get it as takeout when she wants it. I don't mind; I like them too.... Arriving for our pickup, I found that our food had onions, which my wife is allergic to. They made me new ones, and they were great as always. If you're a fan of Mexican food, this location is a must-visit! read more

What a great dinner. Food was wonderful , the staff are always so great . Great place for a family, or a date, or just a place to have a great meal . Thanks so much . read more

Great Mexican restaurant as far as food and drinks. We've never had a bad experience as far as food goes. All the food is excellent and delicious. Customer service is usually pretty good. Sometimes you get the random person with zero personality who doesn't check in on you and your drinks go bone dry, but that happens everywhere. The food here is always consistently delicious and full of flavor. read more

horrible food and service. the entire staff was flat out rude and our server never checked on us once while we were eating. my best friend and i were afraid to ask for refills on our drinks because we felt the server was going to rip into us. absolutely never coming back. read more

The service here is always super attentive and quick! They are friendly and welcoming and the food is always fresh and good!

The service was good. The chips and salsa were delicious!! The taco salad was good, but didn't have much chicken. Overall, it was fine and I'd visit again. read more

So this was my first time here. Met with a friend for lunch at the bar area. It was very nice. Multiple tvs, lottery area. And good amount of seating around the bar as well as booths. Fresh chips and salsa were brought out right away that were warm and tasty. I had myself a michelada which was very refreshing. For food I ordered the Camerones Monterey and a side of grilled jalapeños that were seasoned as well. The food was great and the jalapeños were very tasty, and spicy. I've never had them seasoned like that. I will go back to try some more food or even just for some drinks. Go check them out read more

Omg! Delicious Mexican food! The tamale wasn't dried meat in a drier corn husk. The chips are homemade, the horchata is homemade, everything was delicious! The service was quick and friendly, the place is a bit small but they definitely should expand to a larger location. I can't even complain about the beans and I HATE beans!! If you want good homemade Mexican, EAT HERE!! read more

This place has an amazing child verde taco salad! It is so flavorful. The service was good and they had immaculate bathrooms.

Food is like cardboard. Way too expensive. Taco truck is better option. Stayton has far better Mexican food.

Not bad. The house chips were solid and the salsa was pretty flavorful with a nice amount of heat. The meat in carne asada tacos was a bit dry, but the salsa verde had great flavor. The black beans helped give the tacos more life as well. read more

Ixtapa Mexican Restaurant - Carne asada tacos - Mexican Near Me - Stayton, Oregon

It's just okay now. Prices are higher and portion sizes smaller. Inside is still mexicant decor, and service is just so so. Their salsa is not as good as it use to be either we have noticed. But hey, when you have the market cornered for a "nice" sit down Mexican restaurant in the Stayton area. I guess you can do what you want as an owner? read more

Very good Mexican food and close to home here in stayton. Have been there a number of times and always been pleased.the service is excellent, friendly and attentive. The ambiance is festive. read more

I ordered Tortillas soup and my husband got Street taco it was delicious. We glad picked this restaurant, you won't be disappointed !

At first it was cool, quiet and gave a family oriented feeling. That's 2 for me. Quick service, food was hot, and nobody waited for anything. Another 2 . Price was very reasonable for the 7 of us. Another . But later on when I ate the rest of my food there was a pebble in it Everything was really good, We had no other complaints. But unfortunately, that really ruined it for me. I just couldn't imagine how that got in there nor do I want to. I usually give a good place a couple tries to make a grand decision. I will give one last try‍ read more

Over priced dog food that gives you diarrhea!!! What a dump, you can get burritos for half the price across the street!!! My wife and I ordered an appetizer, two burrito combo plates which were supposed to be carne asada (it was loaded with beans), and 3 margaritas. The tab was $80!! My wife experienced horrible gas and diarrhea... A total WASTE of a night out, and waste of money. Dumpster FIRE!!! It may have been a pleasurable experience before the COVID-19 pandemic, but not anymore. read more

Once again, no flavor to the food. Looked and and tasted boiled! The dogs were fed the meat. So done with this place. No idea why everyone loves them, they are the worst Mexican food I've ever had. Why did we go? Our regular place was closed for the week. Should've gone to Muchas Gracias, would have been 100% better! My husband didn't even get all of his food in the Don Ramon's special. They left out the chicken. read more

Very consistent on all menu items. Great staff and I love the salsa and guacamole. Try the chicken avocado salad. One of my favorite dishes!

I ordered the taco salad without the cheese and sour cream. What I got was a bunch of lettuce, skimpy pieces of meat, and a teaspoon of guac. Really tho? But the best sauce you can ask for is their spicy salsa (not the one they serve with chips, but the other one). It had a good kick. Service was good. Their bathroom is cute. I liked the decor. read more

Ixtapa provides reliably delicious authentic Mexican meals--lunch or dinner, chicken or steak. Their chips were warm and the salsa was perfect. The Arros Con Pollo was beyond my expectations! Their service was prompt, food delivered sizzling fresh right away, and great overall customer service. A wonderful, family-friendly restaurant that we look forward to visiting again. read more

I have ate here a number of times over the years and just remembered, after having lunch there today with an account, I forgot to write a review on it so here we go,,,,,,,,,,, Every time I have been there, including today, you are greeted quickly and seated in the same fashion. Once seated, you get the customary chips and salsa. The chips and salsa here are very good, probably one of my favorites. Today I had the Chili Colorado Burrito with rice and beans and it was spot on. Beef was cooked to perfection and sauce was tasty. Had the iced tea and it had great flavor, not some watered down mess. Service was first class. This Ixtapa is better than the one in Philomath which I have ate at a number of times also. Not bad grub at all for Mexi-American style food. read more

This was a miss on our last visit. Ordered fajitas, the warm tortillas arrived 25 minutes before the rest of the food . Combination plate was a mess- maybe new kitchen staff?? The lady that took our drink and food order was seldom seen. When she brought our check we gave her the $5.00 off dinner coupon. After paying with credit card and giving a 20% customary tip I looked over the total. She didn't use the coupon. Makes me wonder if the coupon is ever actually honored by the restaurant read more

I was camping in Stayton and planned to buy food in town after a 100 mile bike ride to the covered bridges in the area. I arrived VERY VERY HUNGRY at Ixtapa with my backpack. I ordered up enchiladas TO GO. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was literally unbelievable. The TO GO containers they had didn't fit in my backpack so they went to the Dollar Store nearby and BOUGHT SOME that would work. I tried to pay for them for these but they wouldn't let me. I did leave a good tip to show my deep appreciation. Several weeks later I returned with three friends, we bought food to go and ate lunch in the Stayton Park. Once again, a fabulous experience and delicious! MUCHIMAS GRACIAS, everybody at Ixtapa. I will be back. With even more hungry friends! read more

The restaurant was very clean, the staff was incredibly friendly and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend it.

Love coming here! Wish it was a bit cheaper but the food is good quality! Service is always excellent

Waited 10 min before anyone approached our table. It was 4 pm. I ordered a blended coronarita. It came on the rocks. Ordered the Mexican pizza. All the edges were burnt and it came with guacamole that had so much cilantro in it that's all you could taste. This place has changed so much. I won't be back. The server was rude when I asked for guacamole without cilantro. read more

While visiting friends in Stayton we went out to eat at this local favorite. They eat here often & I can now say I know why. Great service, great food, great drinks, & all reasonably priced. The dining area is clean & comfortable. The staff are courteous & timely. I recommend this to families, couples, or even for those dining solo. Enjoy! read more

Ixtapa Stayton Oregon. Had dinner there last night, the food was only warm and not hot as they usually serve. The rice on the plate tasted like instant rice which was dry. I was surprised when the food arrived it didn't look really good as when served in the past. I am guessing there might have been a substitute chef working. In the past the portion was more than enough, last nights plate was quite sparse. Unless that experience was just that one time I probably won't go to Ixtapa to eat again. read more

Very underwhelming experience. Thought I'd mix it up a bit and try the Super Nachos with Carne Asada. For $8 of nachos, you'd expect a big mound. Portions were fairly small I thought for the price. Very little flavor in the toppings. Carne Asada was bland and just a small amount. The top layer had lots of cheese, guac, sour cream, unions and tomatoes but everything underneath was bare. Service was poor. Had to ask for a water refill once and got room temperature water the second time. Their other food might be worthy of more than two stars but definitely not the Super Nachos. read more

Ixtapa Mexican Restaurant - Small portions for $8 worth of nachos - Mexican Near Me - Stayton, Oregon

Much better on the inside than it looks on the outside. We went for lunch with a party of 7 on Sunday and had a great experience. The good: Wait staff very nice. Served hot tortilla chips and your choice of mild or spicy salsa. Everything arrived on VERY hot plates...as any good restaurant does. Drinks of all varieties never ran dry. All food was correctly delivered with no mistakes. Portions were HUGE... and I am not kidding. All customers reported their meals were tasty. Staff checked back often. The lunch menu is a good bargain and is honored on the weekend as well during it's active hours. The needed improvements: Remodel the outside. You would not want to go inside based on the extremely tired and ugly outside. Don't let that fool you. Prices were a little high but the amount of food will give you a 2 meals for the price of 1 based on the size of the take home boxes. Despite all these things, I would absolutely go back. Nice people. read more

Not very often do I take time to do a review... very disappointed in the service and their appreciation of a regular customer. My visit tonight I ordered some shredded beef taquitos and they came out dripping in grease. I made a comment to bartender "do they always come like this?" and he said yes. I literally ate one and pushed my plate aside. When he gave me my bill he asked if I wanted a box and I said no. He did not even offer to take them off my bill. I did not make a scene and paid my $15 tab and even was dumb enough to leave a 20% tip. $18 for a beer. Will not be going back. read more

A very clean and nicely decorated restaurant. Very prompt and polite service. My meal was delicious. I would go here again tomorrow if I was in Stayton. The Lebanon Ixtapa is also delicious. read more

Just finished haircut and Hungary for lunch on this cold rainy afternoon. New to the area keep trying out new places. A few misses and hits. This place is a hit. Service, fast and friendly, value, excellent. Lunch specials excellent. Chicken enchilada tamale beans and rice. Each yummy. Most excellent meal read more

Great service and very clean. Lots of parking. The food is really good most of the time. Every once in awhile the carne asada steaks is chewy and tough, the guacamole is not fresh and the salsa is okay that is the only complaint. Wish they had fresh guacamole. But for the most part it's pretty good I give it a 4 star. read more

The service is outstanding (!), the food is great, the atmosphere clean, new and nice, the prices on par and the portions large.

Best Mexican food in Oregon. Staff makes you feel like you're family. Our food is always out fast and fresh. Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. And they a very clean! read more

I've been here a couple times, each time it's OK. The menu has standard Mexican options but prices a bit higher than comparable restaurants. The staff are hit or miss depending on who you get. There really aren't other options without going to Salem and they seem to know it. I will probably be back in a couple months for some over priced OK food. read more

Have eaten here at least once a week for a couple of years now....with good food and good experiences. Tonight NOT GOOD! Had a Mexican take my poker machine with money on it and the LIAR was a real jerk. What comes around goes around , karma will get him back in the end. Won't be going back to an establishment like that! Puts a bad taste in my mouth! read more
