Went for dinner and were disappointed based on the reviews. No drinks with lime were available including margaritas, Our dinner, the combo special, was no better than we could have ordered at home. Service was fine though but don't plan on returning.

Wonderful place to eat. Always Friendly. Owner always comes around to every table to check on you. Food is excellent. We had coconut shrimp and another shrimp dish. Her desserts are to die for. Carmel cheesecake is awesome!

we always come over to Ixtapa (we're long term condo people in Ziahutanejo) ...but still like to come over to walk the beautiful Ixtapa beach & eat out. We loved Momma Norma & Deborah's--simple, unassuming..but a super friendly staff and some of the BEST food you'll ever find in Ixtapa! Breakfasts are wonderful! Big coffe cups--they KNOW what you want!... More

Good food, reasonable prices. Part of a small, local chain, and all 3 restaurants are clean and friendly with good service.
