Review of El Restaurante Ixtapa

This place is an experience more than anything. The majority of the seating is outdoors with music and lots of blooming plants. It's really lovely and rustic, though the music was so loud we couldn't hear our conversation. If you want a relaxed meal, definitely sit indoors.

The food was fresh though no fabulous, and there were lots of options. Oddly, no prices are listed on the menu. My table enjoyed the carnitas, diablo tacos, and chori pollo (not gf). I went here because it was recommended in the local gluten free forum, though only two items on the menu were actually marked gluten free --pico and chips. The rest requires inquiry and modification, which was easily and safely done.
