Ixtapa

For lunch today we took Jess and Adam out for their birthdays. His is today and hers on Saturday. Ixtapa was a nice restaurant. Their chips and salsa were nice, but I liked the ones at Cactus Cantina more. What I did like about their salsa was that it was extremely chunky, big pieces of onions and tomatoes.

For my meal, I ordered the Camarones Catalana (Spanish style shrimps sauteed with olive oil and with green and red peppers, green onion, garlic and fresh basil, garnished with broccoli). It was good, but definitely not out of this world. I don't think I would crave it. The hot sauce, they serve, that I mixed with my rice and beans was hot and yum! They didn't give the sauce in a bottle, it was served in a little bowl.

Also, the free nachos with cheese, beans etc was a nice surprise. To celebrate the birthdays they gave us a piece of Flan and a piece of Tres Leches (Homemade sponge cake filled with a mixture of evaporated and condensed milk, and a sweetened rich cream, topped with homemade whip cream). The flan was nice, but a little too dense for my liking. I REALLLLLLY enjoyed the Tres Leche. Oh also, the server had us sing Happy Birthday in Spanish to Jess. (Adam had already left to go back to work). Haha!
