    Chicken chimichanga
    Tasha L.

    We tried this place around 6 or 7 pm. on a Friday night, and it was empty. We ordered fajitas, a chicken chimichanga, a kids taco meal, and queso. The chimichanga and fajitas were good. The kids' taco was way too over seasoned to the point of being inedible. The queso really threw me off. I was expecting typical white queso with meat... but it was straight-up orange nacho cheese with more over seasoned meat. It honestly tasted exactly like chili cheese dip. Which is not even close to what we wanted. Regardless of the taco meat and queso, the food was okay, but I think we'll try other restaurants before we go back to this one.

    Hot time on the town tonight I Had an amazing time tonight with the wife at the Ixtapa in Sultan. I had 2 chicken enchiladas and a Mexican coke. Delicious The wife had a margarita with her meal. You can't pass up a great spot line this on a Friday night.

    I'm surprised this restaurant received low ratings. My fiance and I ate here today and it was fantastic! Seriously one of the best Mexican meals we've ever had and that's saying something considering we're both visiting from southern California where there's typically Mexican food on every corner. The chips and salsa was so good - you can tell the salsa is made in-house and the "heat" is perfect in my opinion, our meals were piping hot (which is a good thing) and flavorful , and our black margaritas were absolutely delicious; they didn't taste super syrupy or overly sweet like some places. Also, our waitresses were very kind and attentive! We give this place a 10/10 and will definitely be back.

    Sultan, Washington. Wednesday 5'ish. Sorta rushed when extremely fast talking server approaches to take our order. But salsa was watery, for unknown reason. Good food, they do a lot of take out here. No prices on menu or drink menu.

    Overall: Okay The food was decent. Kind of bland but edible for sure. The waitress was nice and the food came out quickly. Complaints: The margaritas didn't taste like they had any tequila in them and they were the smallest I've ever received at a Mexican place. For 3 meals and 3 margaritas, the bill was $80. For not the best food or margaritas, I don't think it was worth it.

    Not all Ixtapa restaurants are created equal.

    My wife and I met a couple friends here for a drink before heading to another engagement. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. No cantina. No draft beer. No patrons aside from us seated. The chips were stale with a lingering burnt flavor. The salsa was bland. Bottles of Dos Equis were $4.25. Our server was rude and scarce. Tabs are split and paid at the front counter. We learned this after waiting 15 minutes for our tabs to be picked up from our table. I will not waste my time or money at this Ixtapa location again.

    +1 star for making the extra effort to do take out and delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. At least they are trying.

    Gray/purple refried beans, looked even more grey in the restarting but my phone tried to color correct it a bit.

    My sister and I went her for dinner. It's pretty difficult to find truly bad Mexican food, this place seems to specialize in it. The refried beans were...gray/purple, the meat was chewy an has some weird sweet flavor, the rice had lots of undercooked bits in it. The one mainstay staple of Mexican places is the salsa. This place had the most disappointing salsa I've tasted ever. It was bland and on top of that it was obviously mixed with extra water which made the texture very unpleasant. We ordered the hot salsa first and finding it inedible we ordered the mild...same problem, so we ordered pico de Gallo which had few tomatoes and 70% the less expensive chopped jalapeños, and also tasted like...steak? Why would fresh raw salsa taste like steak? Seems like potential cross contamination there. So we ordered the bean dip which ended up being a bowl filled with grey purple bean goop with a sprinkling of cheese and a pool of green sauce on top. It was also incredibly bland, but in addition I found a stray piece of cooked chicken in it. Pretty disgusted by this point. Then we got our main dishes...my sister got a quesadilla which showed up. Pretty undercooked without even browned tortillas (picture). I ordered fajitas which has very few (currently expensive) bell peppers and traded them out for mushy strips of tomato (picture). The beef in my fajitas looked like mixed cut scrap leftovers and the chicken felt rubbery, both were considerably bland. The tortillas were served in a cloth pouch that was spiked inside and out. When asked if it got cleaned the annoyed waitress said they were cleaned "a lot" but not every time. This means some gross a-hole with COVID-19 or a booger on his finger is touching the inside of this cloth pouch that is touching my tortillas (picture). There were crispy bits of other people's food on it (picture). Overall, I'd recommend eating at this place if you like spoiled bland food, food poisoning, rude waitstaff, or direct exposure to other customer's saliva.

    Very disappointing. Fish tacos were over cooked and greasy, served with tartar sauce (?) lettuce and very old, dry salsa. Rice tasted off.

    Delicious food, wonderful service, and homey atmosphere…read more *Dear Yelp, here are a few more sentences to meet your new "85 characters"requirement & for the people who enjoy reading reviews rather than getting outside & experiencing what this world has to offer. Remember what life was like before yelp? We just went places 'cause they looked cool, tried restaurants 'cause they looked nice or someone recommended it... but now, most of us go on Yelp. Why? To read novel length reviews from wannabe journalists? NO WAY! Most of us just want to look at the menu before hand, check out the prices, & know if we'll get food poisoning or not. Either way, you read this long rant, thanks, I hope I made you laugh :)

Las Tres Marias is easy to find since has the pink and green facade. Went in the middle of a weekend afternoon, and surprisingly the place still has a few parties eating there, even though it was during the slow hours between lunch and dinner. Family style restaurant, small-ish seating area with booth seating on the sides and tables in the middle. Chips and salsa are complementary. Server recommended the Tres Maria plate that have skirt steak, chicken breast and bacon-wrapped shrimp. We got that and also the beef taquitos. Taquitos were tasty, has a little of a crisp on the outside, agreeable flavors. The Tres Marias plate was pretty big, and has beans and rice as well, and comes with tortillas to wrap up the ingredients. Tasted pretty decent. Before tip it was $45 which was reasonable for the food.

The deck off the back of the restaurant was fantastic, I just wished anything would have matched that energy. We ordered 2 jalapeno Margaritas, and 2 "fresh natural" margaritas. They brought out chips and salsa and beans to us following our orders. The salsa I am not sure how it qualify as salsa. It was more like a can of stewed tomatoes. No spice, no flavor. The beans were the same. Plain, nothing to them. While fajitas had been walked by many times we opted not to get food. After letting the server know we were not ordering food, I believe the manager came over to ask if everything was ok. We were like yeah, we just came by for drinks. Both the server and the manager seemed annoyed after that. After receiving our drinks they were to be nice, just plain disappointing. Jalapeño margaritas are my drink of choice and this one fell well short of the mark. There were jalapeños in it, but there was zero spice and a very strong flavor of just the margarita mix. My wife enjoyed her fresh margarita, but upon receiving the bill the fresh margarita was a $4 add on for the fresh lime juice? $65 for 4 margaritas in pounder glasses. Maybe it's because they were not good that I find that as steep. Thanks Monroe El Paraiso, we won't be back. I wasn't going to bother to write a review, but when you get treated different for not ordering food, something is wrong with the establishment. Two stars just for the view
