A favorite of the Mexican families coming down from Guadalajara on weekends or for the holidays. This place gets hopping!

Food is okay but really it's the ambiance people come for.

The guys outside the restaurant really know how to hustle hard so people can come in. Included in our platters were complimentary drinks which was ok but, if you wanted to keep drinking you would have to pay for each of your drinks. -We got seated in the back because we had a large party. The restaurant does face the lake of Chapala which is very nice. Unfortunately, that is the only good thing about the restaurant. -For our complimentary drinks, we decided to get horchata. Probably one of the worst drinks I've had. It was so watered down I barely tasted the flavor. They gave us a platter of different salsas and sauces for our food and they were mediocre. Nothing was fresh and they looked like there were sitting out for a while or from previous past days or weeks. I was already not liking the restaurant and I was not expecting much from the food. -The platters came out and they looked great and they were presented nicely. Once we started to eat it was a different story. The seafood platter was mostly fried. We barely got served any seafood. The fish was fried too long and it was not as tasty as I was hoping it was going to be. It also came with a bowl of ceviche and it wasn't as great. The meat platter was okay as well. We got served chicken and beef fajitas but it was mostly bell peppers and protein here and there. Not worth it. It came with a bowl of guacamole and that was actually pretty decent which I was so surprised. They also brought us tortillas which were okay. -The waiters kept forgetting to bring us water and a second round of tortillas which we had to remind them a couple of times. I will never come back to this restaurant next time we visit Chapala. I would have rather had lunch from a vendor from the street than this restaurant.

We had the mixed seafood cocktail and the stuff d squid, a beer and a margarita (which was free with and entree). The stuffed squid gets a 4.5 stars! It was delicious. The cocktail, while the plentiful, was disappointing. And gets 2.5. The seafood was fresh but the juice of tomato, onion, avocado and cilantro was very bland. The margarita tasted like water (so now we know why it's free). It gets a 0. The service was very good and given how good th stuffed squid was, we will go back. The neighboring table had coconut shrimp and ny strip and they were very happy.

The salads are good. They also serve free wine and beer. They can handle a small crowd of 10 or so (not true for many Mexican restaurants), and they have tables outside on the malecon where you can watch the sun set and people watch. It is lovely to entertain guests there on their first night because you can walk the length of the malecon and get the flavor of Chapala.

This place is nice and open so you get an amazing breeze. The service was pretty was and service flowed. I ordered a seafood soup. It was a very generous size and they did not hold back on the seafood. I ordered a lot of lemon. Everything tasted amazing and the price was reasonable. I would definitely return here I had a great experience.

When we first arrived to Chapala, the workers were trying to get us to dine here, but we felt like…read moreit was a tourist trap, so we decided to walk around first. After doing some shopping, we came back here since we ran out of cash and this restaurant takes credit cards LOL. My friend was specifically looking for a whole fried fish, so we ordered the mojarra, an agua fresca, pina colada, and tostadas aguachiles. Complimentary chips and salsa were brought out as well. The fried fish had too many bones in it, so it was pretty hard to eat, but my friend liked it a lot. I preferred the aguachiles and liked that we got two different kinds. You get a nice view of the lake when you dine here! There was also a mariachi band playing some tunes for the table across from us, so we got to enjoy some live music too.

They have both inside and outside seating and their menu is in both Spanish and English which was helpful but prices were in pesos. Food was very good and service professional thought they seemed a little stuffy at first most likely cause it was close to their closing time which I later discovered was at 8 o'clock. When ordering, Keep in mind it's local Mexican style so it may not be exactly what you'd think. For example, we ordered Chili Rellenos stuff with marlin, which used a different chili. Fillet (which was flounder) stuffed with seafood, which I didn't think would be inside dough, was surprisingly lite and very good. Shrimp Empanadas, nice but a little more doughy that I'd like. Shrimp stuffed with roasted garlic and bacon was very good, lite, nice flavors. Yes, we would definitely go there again, no doubt.
