Ixtapa serves standard Tex-Mex cuisine along the lines of enchiladas, tacos, and burritos. The menu deviates little from this theme leading to the food itself to be a rather forgettable experience.
Where Ixtapa differentiates themselves from other restaurants in the area however is their customer service. All the waiters and waitresses are extremely friendly and eager to please. If you're a regular customer waiters will greet you by name and the manager will make a point of coming by your table sometime during your meal and asking how things are going. All these interactions seem natural and unforced making the dining experience much more enjoyable.
Overall Ixtapa is a good pick for a quick, relatively inexpensive bite in the Monroe area. I recommend the "No Name."
