Mariscos El Carnal - Cantaritos con 7 Leguas Tequila, agua mineral y poco Squirt

Mariscos El Carnal

Mariscos El Carnal is such a charming spot for anyone looking for delicious food, beautiful…read morelakeside scenery, and an experience that goes beyond your typical restaurant visit! The decor has the cutest rustic aesthetic, with a warm, inviting atmosphere that pairs beautifully with the surrounding views. One of my favorite features is the boat dock right in front of the restaurant! When you dine in, they offer a complimentary boat cruise around the lake, which adds such a unique and memorable touch to the experience. Enjoying a meal and then taking in the scenery from the water? Absolutely love that! We started with a cántarito, a refreshing tequila-based cocktail made with natural fruit flavors. It was a lovely choice to sip on while enjoying the atmosphere and taking in the views. For our meal, we ordered a generously sized platter meant for sharing, featuring carne asada, chicken, and shrimp, accompanied by nopales and a flavorful broth that brought everything together beautifully. The portion was substantial, making it a great option for sharing with family or friends while sampling a little bit of everything. The restaurant also features live music, adding another layer of entertainment and energy to the experience. Between the rustic decor, lakeside setting, food, cocktails, and music, there is plenty to enjoy beyond what's on the plate.

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.

Ajiic Tango, Ajijic…read more After a long day of hiking and walking around Ajijic, I was absolutely exhausted and waiting for my ride back to Guadalajara when I came across Ajiic Tango, an Argentinian restaurant. Being Argentinian myself, I thought, "Well, why not? A little taste of home sounds pretty good right about now!" The restaurant itself is lovely. It has a warm, inviting atmosphere, with lots of leather, comfortable seating, and an open, lively feel. The place was packed, and people seemed to be having a great time enjoying their meals, especially the meat dishes. It definitely had the feel of a popular local spot. The service was excellent, and I really appreciated the attention they gave me. They brought bread to the table right away, and it was warm, tasty, and wonderfully comforting. After a long day on my feet, that little touch was especially welcome. Sometimes, it's the simple things that make you happy! I ordered two empanadas. Now, here's where my Argentinian credentials come into play. They were okay, but just okay. Let's say they didn't quite meet my expectations. When you've grown up with Argentinian empanadas, you develop certain standards, and these didn't quite hit the mark for me. But that's my personal take, and someone else might enjoy them more. I finished with a special serving of ice cream and asked for dulce de leche on the side. They happily accommodated my request, and that definitely earned them extra points! Because let's be honest, dulce de leche makes almost everything better. I also enjoyed a very cold beer, which was excellent and exactly what I needed after all that walking. Overall, I really liked the atmosphere, the attentive service, and the welcoming feel of the place. Although the empanadas weren't quite what I would hope for as an Argentinian, the restaurant was busy, lively, and clearly appreciated by its customers. Would I recommend it? Yes! Especially if you're in Ajijic looking for a comfortable place to enjoy a drink, good service, and Argentinian-style food. Just keep in mind that my standards for empanadas may be a little unfairly high. After all, some things are hard to beat when they remind you of home!
