Great food, very good service, and casual atmosphere. Highly recommend coming here for any and all…read moredonning needs you have.

On our last evening in México, the establishment my partner, his family, our friends and I wanted…read moreto go for dinner was closed. No worries and drove westward just before entering San Juan Cosalá where a row of restaurants were located right on Lake Chapala. Arrived around 630pm at Las Gaviotas (the Seagulls) we were whisked to a table situated downstairs at this spacious restaurant right around sunset which was a nice and relaxing atmosphere. Their menu was entirely in Spanish with the typical cuisine of the region: charales (battered baby fish), caldo michi (catfish), fish and shellfish. With the various music playing, we started our meal by ordering appetizers - guacamole with chips and Tostadas de caviar (A flat, crispy-fried tortilla topped with caviar sprinkled with garnishes such as lettuce, tomato and onions). For our entree, we ordered cheese quesadillas, shrimp empanadas and some meat dishes such as Arrachera (skirt steak) and t-bone accompanied with rice, mixed vegetables and guacamole. Although few patrons remaining, it took a while for our main meal to arrive. The food was okay but needed some seasonings for some. They didn't even have steak knives to cut the meat. The food prices were a bit high but one's paying for the view. We can't recommend this place.

2.5 stars but rounding up because I'm feeling genial. I don't know if I would call this a "tourist…read moretrap" but it's definitely borderline. Prices are high, food is mediocre, service is okay...but the view is gorgeous and portions are big. My filete was about $290 but could have fed two people if I hadn't been absolutely ravenous. Similarly, the side of fries my brother got for $90 was an entire plate full. My michelada was okay but again, massive. They were also able to break up checks effectively for our large tour group, which made payment (and they take card!) simple and easy. I didn't choose this restaurant as we were on an organized tour nor would I recommend it or rush back, but if you end up here and you're hungry it's not a terrible move to get something to eat.

The restaurant have great views to the water and the food was good as well. We only had couple…read moreappetizers and one main plate that we share and definitely some drinks everything was delicious. The only thing that caught me off guard was at the end when I asked for the check and they brought me the total and also a handwritten paper attached with a different amount. The. Difference was about 43% higher that the original amount when I asked he told me that was the suggested tip and the funny thing the restaurant have a big sign that said "Employees are not authorized to recommend tip amounts". I don't know if they do that to tourists but be careful if you go there. The service was good so I give them 20% tip.
