Last Stop Ixtapa
After 7 years in Bellevue, Ixtapa Mexican Grill will be closing this week. The last day for service will be May 31st. Owners have decided to move back closer to their southern home, but wish Bellevue a fond farewell after their warm tenure in the area.
The establishment at 3905 Twin Creek Drive will be occupied by a fresh Mexican take, and The Reader will bring you more details as they become available.
