Chicken chimichanga with Chile relleno
Dex A.

We've been on the hunt for a "favorite" Mexican restaurant since moving into the area five years ago. Ixtapa has been our favorite so far! Very friendly service, great salsa, big portions served hot. The interior seemed friendly and inviting. I liked how they had decorated for Christmas. Not sure why it's so hard to find good Mexican food in the PDX area but it's been disappointing. At least Ixtapa is someplace we can go to know we'll get some solid, tasty food.

It's a very beautiful restaurant

I love this place I'm telling everybody please please come in try this place you we enjoy it

A nice serving of chips and salsa
Todd H.

Surprise surprise it's a family run Mexican restaurant in Newberg. The chips and salsa as always are fresh and ready for nom nom. There is a lot on the menu. As always I don't know seems like they should make it easier or specialize in something. It just makes all the food kind of okay. You can see they are trying to please everyone and draw in customers by having everything. To me that is the downside. If there is nothing special then everything is not special. Served with beans and rice maybe shouldn't be with everything It just makes me think of the delivery truck that just makes five exact stops at five exact restaurants and delivers the same thing to each one giving them recipe cards saying your customers will love this. Just makes the place serving I don't know Avacado salad seem that much more authentic and family owned. It s good if you want a lot to eat. Portions are big and fill up the plate. Service Is friendly and attentive. Nothing to say try this or the blank is the best. Decent enough if nothing else is open and you are hungry.

Halibut fish tacos.

This is an enthusiastic 5 STARS!!! The place looks a bit run down and not fancy, but it's an authentic family restaurant that turns out solidly delicious Mexican dishes. The rice, an often overlooked side dish, was so good...I saw people next to us order dishes of them in addition to the rice and beans that comes with the entrees. After I ate all of the rice off my plate, my kid's plate, and my husband's plate...I had to stop myself. The rice was so flavorful, I would have had two more servings if my stomach was my exploding. The carne asada, chicken enchiladas, and halibut fish tacos were also very good. Our table fo 4 people ate about 6 orders of salsas and guacamole. They kept refilling the chips (which were warm and crispy), so we felt we needed to eat more and not waste their hospitality. LOL. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for solidly good, authentic Mexican food at a family restaurant.

Spinach enchilada. No cheese or sour cream and pinto beans no meat broth

We're not talking cutting gourmet Mexican food here! This is traditional, hand painted walls, little booths etc! We are vegan, we asked the waitress if the beans were vegan. Turns out there are refried , black and kidney bean options all vegan! We went with the spinach enchilada and avocado tostada with black beans. All came hot and just aS we expected. The wait staff was so pleasant and made sure we had everything we needed! I gave this restaurant a lower score befoRRe because se off thE attitude of the wait staff. This visit, was totally different!! Every aspect of this visit was as to be expected of a neighborhood Mexican restaurant.

Tons of flavors, but I always get blackberry:)

Locally owned, fast, tasty!! I've been going here since I was a kid and never had a bad experience. The staff is polite, professional and patient. Food is fast, fresh and f*%#ing phenomenal. Kitchen is visible from dining area and restaurant is clean and comfortable. In my opinion, it's the best Mexican food in Newberg.

Three tacos, rice and beans
Luc M.

There are so many great things about this place, but I knock a star for its lack of cleanliness. The flavor is also very basic, but still delicious. I had three tacos - two carne asada and one pollo - with rice and beans. The tacos fell apart while eating them, but other than that they were good. The complimentary chips and salsa were super tasty. This place is good and has some really good flavors. Just have to order the right things. Would recommend!

I was looking for another place that would best or be equal to my favorite Ricky's Tacos. The…read moreflavor just didn't hit me until I got to the end of the burrito. I ordered a shredded pork (or what everyone knows as Carnitas) burrito. The burrito wasn't that oily and salty which was a plus and the tortilla seemed homemade. Not dry but edible until the last bite. I would have to say it was pretty good but not as good as my favorite. The lady at the counter was nice as well as the dude that brought out my burrito. The ceiling is adorned with piñatas and the place clean and inviting. I think I'll try their menudo on the weekends to see what that tastes like or consider a sit down next time I'm in town.

Not much ambience here but the food completely makes up for that... I had the cheesy tacos and they…read morewere amazing, they were on special for around $14. I ate two of them took two home... Heated them up two days later and they were even better than they were the first time. The hubby had the smothered burrito and I know it's a good burrito when he doesn't have to add more salsa, and he didn't he liked it just as it was. This place is not fancy, but the food is delicious and the price is decent. The service was great, very friendly and helpful.
