Cantina Ixtaccíhuatl

"This little spot is definitely one of the best kept secrets in Portsmouth. I came back after a time spent on the west coast, and I really miss authentic Mexican food. This place hits the spot. Those street tacos are mind blowing."

"The BEST Mexican food around. Their quesadilla Birria is my absolute favorite!!! I’ve tried several Birria tacos but never quite as good as the one here. The food is very authentic and flavorful. The staff is very friendly and provide excellent service."

"Arguably, one of the city's best Mexican restaurants that you have never been to, but you should try immediately. Excellent food and service! If hot sauces are your flavor, ask about their homemade creations."

"Found this place purely by chance and it was an absolute delight! The food is traditional and delicious, everyone was friendly and attentive, and the murals are breathtaking. I will absolutely be back next time I'm in town, hidden gem!!"

"Eats-TahseeWaddle :) This place serves food like the rez in southern Arizona. Roasted chile, in-house tortilla, tamales and tacos pastor. Posole, menudo, and more. Tamarindo and horchata. If you're not sure about all that, order a chicken torta - it's a delicious sandwich. Nice people and delicious food Everything's priced about a dollar high, but the flavor is so worth it. I spotted staff from a competing restaurant eating here .. :)"
