Ixtapa Grill

Reviewed By Al-Sue-Maine

We ate there while in town on business. It's a non-descript storefront. The staff is friendly, and the Margaritas are decent.Probably not the best Mexican food we've had, but certainly pretty good, especially for a small town in CT. We'll go back.

We stopped to see what the grocery offered and found a little home style restaurant that is simply a gem. First and foremost, the food was fresh, tasty, plentiful and inexpensive. A comfortable number of small tables and soft drinks. Pork and pineapple tacos with homemade salsa and chips was enough for two for a lunch. The rest of the menu offerings were interesting with some options uncommon in standard commercial Mexican American restaurants. Clearly their customer base is ethnic. That's a wonderful thing if you want authentic. So I would and will go back. Doesn't look like much which is certainly part of its appeal - not putting on airs. Have no idea if you can BYOB, but there is a nearby package store. If you appreciate food trucks for authenticity, this is a full step above - it would be the family bringing you home. Take a chance on this one. It is a good one.

Big brother Mikro made a decision to leave the comforts of home and allow little sister, Texiko, to take over and do things in her own unique and amazing way. Mikro seems to be going through some growing pains and a learning curve since flying the coop. Bigger isn't always better. Food isn't as good. Ambiance went from cozy and comfortable to a noisy frat party. Texiko is doing great at the old homestead. Excellent beers on tap. An extensive list of tequilas. And a Tex-Mex menu with a flair for awesome smokebox bbq. Our friend had a flight of craft beers. My wife and I had the Outerlight coffee stout. Then the awesome waitress suggested starting with the chicken skins. Doesn't sound to appetizing but Wow the chicken skins are phenomenal. Crispy, smoky, deliciousness. I forgot to mention that they start everyone off with a complimentary snack. A small paper bag of crispy tortilla chips and a tasty fresh salsa. It was so good, we begged for a second round of chips and salsa. Please may we have another? LolOur friend had the arepas for dinner and my wife had the burrito.I had the Smokebox BBQ Platter. Pulled pork, brisket, and smoked chicken served with rice and beans, coleslaw, and texas toast. I also ordered a side of griddled mac and cheese. All of our dinners were excellent.At this point, we were all crazy full, but our waitress mentioned the creme brulee for dessert. My friend Sandi at L Restaurant makes the best creme brulee and this one was comparable to hers. Very good !
