"If you are dying to see what happens to Mexican food in an effete clubstaurant setting, Ixta is your place. There’s a cocktail lounge in front, of course, and a beguiling dining room through curtains behind that. The menu is at least partially focused on Oaxacan food, as seen in dishes such as enchiladas with two moles, and even the birria tacos are distinguished, with a dipping broth you’ll want to drink as a soup at this expensive place." - Robert Sietsema
