Highly recommend five out of five will return.

Her recommendations were superb and we ended up back there the next night on our way back from a busy day in Chapala. All of the seafood is so fresh and tasty. Unusual and delightful mixtures that were a real treat. We love the open jungle garden with tables well spaced amongst the tropical growth. A covered section keeps the rain off and makes for a very cosy setting. This is a gem! So very happy we stopped in on a whim.

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.

All a total fabrication and lie, we were competing w the hired staff for remnants. What a ripoff. My wife, bilingual, tried to explain we would not have gone this route and would have ordered off the menu and felt we deserved some sort of refund. It all fell on deaf ears. Adios Bs!

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.

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.

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.
