What People Say

Guests rave about the creative cocktails, especially the margaritas and mezcal options, and love the boldly flavoured small plates like birria tacos and tuna tostadas. Many diners praise the stylish decor and upbeat vibe. Reviews also highlight the attentive staff and how the team keeps things moving even during busy hours, which is ideal for concert-goers on a schedule.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the portions can lean on the smaller side, so if you're really hungry before a long show, consider ordering a few extra dishes. Also, while the energy is lively, it may not be the best choice if you're looking for a quiet, low-key meal.

Ixchel delivers flavour, fun and fast service—a top pick for concert-goers looking to kick off their night in style.
