Ixtapa - Carnation

If you're vegetarian, know that their beans are cooked in lard and their rice is cooked in chicken broth (the staff readily admit to both, fortunately). That leaves you choosing between a quesadilla appetizer and a build-your-own tostada.

The service was very bad. I ordered a shrimp cocktail and the shrimp looked like they had been left raw the night before. I talked to the waitress and she brought another lady of legal age and she told me that the cocktails were like that and I told her that. I wanted them well sewn and she responded that if they ate them more they would get hard and you couldn't eat good things so I wouldn't follow him anymore so I left the things and didn't get any more. VERY BAD EXPERIENCE PERSONALLY....

This is the best Mexican food I've had in a very long time. We each had something different, and each of us 4 raved about the quality. The poblano relleno, camrones creama, mole enchilada, and a combo plate. We barely had any left overs, we definitely couldn't stop when full. It was too good. I can't wait to come back. The Spanish rice was amazing!

Parking: There's no street parking on the main Street. Fortunately there's free parking around the block and across the street Kid-friendliness: There's a changing table in the bathroom. Very convenient.

After golfing stopped by for lunch and had a great lunch. They have mini meals with smaller mains which is great for me. I don't eat as much as I used to. My daughter had a flour tortilla with steak she loved. The guacamole was very good. Our meals came with enough sour cream and guacamole to have some with each bite. My husband wasn't in food mood. He ordered a chocolate milkshake. He's very picky about milkshakes and said this was excellent.
