Came here for a girls dinner Friday night and was honestly so surprised with how empty it was when we got there, and when we left. We ordered a number of different things off the menu and everyone liked all the dishes. The drinks were good but I will say, they are pretty weak. Service was super attentive all night and the music was also good. Really unsure of why it was so empty? The vibe was nice and I know weak drinks are not enough to turn away a crowd... or are they?

Attended the 6th annual creole fest which was held at IXTA! Amazing opportunity to sample the flavors of the Caribbean, Filipino/hawaiian, Nigerian chefs, music, dancing and amazing drinks. I will come back next year

We came here for a last minute date night and we were quite happily surprised at how delicious everything was! The vibe is very cute inside - the decor is tulum-ish. Lots of wood details and woven basket chandeliers. Started with the dia en la playa and it was yummy but honestly not very strong so I got a shot of tequila on the side to add to the drink. The food was soooooo good! For apps, we got the Tijuana Caesar Salad, Truffle Queso Fundido, and Pulpo Zarandeado. The Caesar was not overly dressed, which I love and the anchovy was delicately placed on the side of the plate. Now the truffle queso......if you get anything definitely get that it was ridiculously flavorful and corn tortilla was perfectly crispy that it was served with. The pulpo was also delicious - the almond Pasilla sauce with amazing with the cactus. For entrees, I got the lobster tail dish and my boyfriend got the steak. We devoured both. That stuffed lobster tail with crispy rice was one of the best things I had in a while!! We also got the esquites, which is a must for us anytime we see it on a menu and it did not disappoint. Our waiter was so helpful also! Really great at explaining the flavor details of the dishes and very attentive as well. Definitely recommend for the food overall! Took a star off for the drinks - for being $17 a pop, I shouldn't have to add a shot of tequila. Other than that we really enjoyed Ixta!!

Taco Tuesday all day ! The birria taco is amazing! Comes w side of soup you dip the Tacos. So much flavor, I wanted to take the soup home n put ramen w it! I love the decor, very chic. I think this will our new taco tequila therapy Tuesday place. Arturo is an amazing mixologist ! It was awesome to watch him make our cocktails! Service w a smile.

IXTA is beautiful-- definitely gives tulum vibes. Went for dinner on a Friday night around 6 and the place was fairly empty but did get more crowded once we were leaving. Wait staff was friendly and attentive! We tried the fish tacos, birria tacos, flautas and truffle queso-- which were all delicious. Finished up with their spin on churros and the sauces were so tasty! I had the only mocktail on the menu-- tasted just like a pina colada and came in a pretty tiki class!

Solid option for fun but not too authentic Mexican in spacious environs on the LES. My highlights were the vegetarian enchiladas and the esquites. I'm not sure whose idea it was to add a ton of haldi to esquites, but honestly this weird fusion corn curry was super delicious. The enchiladas had a very rich mole sauce, which I find too few restaurants offer as a pairing with a vegetarian option, so I was pleased they did so here.
