Que Chulada de maíz prieto…read more As a big fan of Vicente 'Chente' Fernandez I'm so thankful I was able to visit his rancho, but also it's a must to stop by to visit his store and restaurant. We went Sept 2024 and thought the hours were until 4 p.m. Once we walked to the gate noticed a crowd standing around but no one asked if we'd be able to enter. I kindly asked the groundkeepers if they'd allow us to pay our respects to Chente as we traveled from Northern CA. They did go ask for permission and allowed us all to enter. They did ask us if we're able to donate as it was almost 4 p.m and after their normal business hours. Our family donated and noticed few in the crowd did also. Upon entering the gates you'll see a statue of our Vicente, alot of beautiful flowers, his horses and different garden decorations. It's so peaceful and there is a life size replica of Vicente you're able to take pictures with. Vicente is buried nearby and music was playing. We paid our respects and to your right is his guitar shaped Pool. Behind the Pool you'll see different type of animals and there is a horse stable. We thanked the gentleman again and made our way to Vicente's store. Give yourself enough time to visit the store as there was a big crowd and buses of tours as well. The employees are very friendly and we did ask to taste two different tequilas. I bought one bottle and it really is smooth. Next door is Chente's restaurant and everything we ordered was delicious. It was a hot day and we ordered a pitcher of agua de jamaica. They're very friendly and there was a live mariachi. Although they did charge $20 per song it was worth it. We ordered carne asada, camarones, quesadillas, y pescado. Everything was delicious and you can't help but notice all the personal touches Vicente has all around his restaurant. Do give yourself plenty of time as traffic is heavy from Guadalajara at times and know that it's complete my free to visit Vicente's rancho. Over all we were pleased to have seen everything up close and plan on going back again.

Really interesting and gorgeous presentation. Lots of emphasis on corn and its pre-Columbian delicacy celebrated by many Mexican upper cuisine places- Huitlacoche. So many personal touches like Sangria with pomegranate seeds. They are closed on Mondays.

From Marlin tacos to one of the best brick over pizza you will find in the area. We ordered the Marlin Taco and it was filled with enough Marlin for two, a couple of Pulpo(squid) tacos deep fried, and just cooked. The fried had a yummy cheese base and the cooked was just steamed pulpo in a single standard size tortilla. The pizza was so delicious. We ordered the pepperoni/jalapeño with roasted garlic. This is the best brick oven pizza I've had in a long time. We washed it down with a king size shot of Don Julio and a couple of fresh jamica waters! That topped it off the jamica water was fresh and not overly sweetened. This place is a special find. I would suggest you stop in and verify! Excellent service Open seating with a specious floor plan The only tough part is possibly the parking very small with limited space. So come early!!! This place is on my list for every trip.

It was ok. Nothing spectacular. Kind of forgettable meal. The waitresses are nice…read more Not sure if we would return. Had tacos and pizza.

From Chicago, first time in Ajijic. We had breakfast at LNP. Here are some of my thoughts:…read more -The restaurant is part of a hotel, with many English speakers, so the menu is in both English and Spanish. -It has both inside and outside seating, but the outside features a beautiful view of Lake Chapala! -I ordered the ham and cheese omelette, and it was delicious. -My wife ordered the chilaquiles, and they were out of this world! -The service is VERY good! Overall, highly recommended!!

I loved the ambiance and service as well. The server was able to speak English. We are just learning Spanish so that was really helpful. We also had a wonderful conversation with the wife of the owner who spoke just a little English, and since I spoke just a little Spanish, it was such a beautiful connection. We both got some practice in each other's language with a little bit of assistance from our server. We will back during this 9 day trip, perhaps tonight as they were kind to tell us about the music and dancing that happens at 6 (this was on a Wednesday). Oh. And the margaritas? chef's kiss. Very tasty. And veeeery strong *evil laugh*

Their servers are bilingual and the food is beautiful and delicious. Plenty of street parking and I recommend anything off of the cocktail menu and any of their seafood.

Highly recommend five out of five will return.

It was a magical taste (much like this town) and I wish that I had room to eat a second one. The appetizers were equally as delightful.

If I ever return to Ajijic I will be coming here for another meal!

One of our kids accidentally spilled water and they never cleaned it up (see photo). While we were seated promptly, we noticed the lack of attention to detail - from late snacks to never refilling our water. It was not a busy day so I don't understand the poor service. The food was very late. Sucks that such a good looking place fell so short. We should have left when we saw the roach but hunger and three kids had us locked down. Would not return. Sorry.
