Was visiting my folks in Ajijic. We came here after having had a real nice experience the last time…read moreI was visiting the area. There were only two other groups of customers and my mom and I waited 45 minutes for food that we never received because they never put in the order for the food in the first place. They took our drink order after 25 mins of sitting there. I'm really disappointed because I really liked their food before. I'm a pretty patient and considerate person, and figured that they were busy and didn't think anything of it at first. We realized that the actual kid (maybe 13 years old at most) that took our order didn't put the order in after my mom asked them in Spanish why it was taking almost an hour to get the food out. To make it even worse, they didn't even check in on us or really acknowledge that we were there and they knew we were there. That really bothered me. I won't be returning here ever again.

I was greeted and was prompted for all COVID-19 precautions. Sat at my table, and I loved the whole vibe this restaurant! I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and boy did they deliver! The salad was huge (sorry I didn't take pics, I was hungry and looked amazing) they also gave me bread for the table and it was so yummy, fresh and great taste! Then I ordered the chocolate cake and MY GOD I WAS IN HEAVEN! The piece of cake was huge and I ate it all ! I loved everything about this place and I cannot wait to return again to eat more and try other things on the menu!

The steak, to me, could have had a little bit more of a crisp outside, but it was still yummy. Salad bar was very nice as well.

Our pasta was extremely greasy. We tried to eat it since that was all we had for dinner, but we ended up throwing it away. The second time we had this, we were invited to dinner here by some people we know, so we couldn't be rude and tell them we didn't care for it. Luckily, this time around was better. Not great, but better. The service was slow, but when we eventually got our food, it was fine. There are many places to choose in this town for dining, and this is one I would not recommend.
