We had a wonderful family meal at Ixchel and thoroughly enjoyed the experience from start to finish.
The food was authentic, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Every member of the family found something they loved. Our favourites were the guacamole with totopos, the prawn quesadilla, and the incredible tres leches cake, which was the perfect way to finish the meal.
The service was excellent throughout; attentive, friendly, and welcoming without ever feeling intrusive. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel as though you've been transported somewhere special.
If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, fantastic service, and a truly lovely dining experience, I would highly recommend Ixchel.
We had an incredible afternoon—an explosion of flavors on the palate. Jhonatan, the waiter, was incredibly professional and friendly, and the bar manager Manuel, provided spectacular service; they were always focused on ensuring we had a great time.
We will definitely be back
We celebrated a birthday at Ixchel and loved the experience. Delicious food, service was attentive and there was live music/DJ on a Friday night. Definitely memorable.
Excellent experience! The food was excellent, and the service was simply wonderful. Thanks to Samia for the amazing hospitality. The place is very atmospheric, with interesting design and lighting. Everything we tried was absolutely fantastic. For the main course, we had the stone bass, and the sauces were simply perfect, as well as the tempura — the prawns were absolutely incredible.
Lovely decor creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff were friendly, helpful and not overbearing at all.
It was my first visit for dinner. There were 3 of us and we ordered a combination of small plates, main dishes and dessert. We also had a cocktail each and the bill came to around £180.
The outstanding dishes for us were the rock salt prawns which were juicy and delicious. The crab tostadas were great, as were the crispy potatoes. The short rib and butternut squash dishes were ok. But the star was the burnt cheesecake which was absolutely divine!! The cocktails also deserve a mention. I loved the Spicy cocktail which was definitely spicy, strong and delicious.
Would definitely recommend a visit, although there is not much of a choice for non meat eaters who also dislike seafood. Yes, they exist! Otherwise , I loved it and would definitely visit again .
