I don't write reviews as often as others. I do write reviews when I experience "Wow! places to stay and eat. Restaurant Ixta is one of those places. We have been going to Ixta for a few years now during our stays in Bucerias, for lunches and dinners. It has become a "go-to" place for us while in the area. Owner, Pierre, and his staff (most of whom have been there for years!) provide excellent service and, amazing food and drink items from a menu that offers a wide range of choices, sure to appeal to even the most selective eaters! The Ixta burger is one of the best burgers I have eaten anywhere in the world I have traveled. The same can be said for the Ixta Caesar Salad! The Caesar dressing is exceptional! The Ixta True Soup is a taste adventure for blue cheese lovers! The mahi mahi with wasabi butter is hands down my favourite dish on the menu!

If you are looking for great consistent service and meals while in the Baie de Banderas area, try Restaurant Ixta. I am very confident You won't be...

Ambiance is casual but NOT “barefoot casual”, dress up a little! The menu offers the typical local choices with a little Italian flair. The lasagna is excellent and the grilled shrimp is excellent with more proper sized shrimp than one person can eat! The crème brûlée is well done with an imaginative...
