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. I've been here a couple of times and it seems to be a top place for lunch and dinner. I love the color scheme, the attentive service and vast menu that really showcases local bites. Highly recommend five out of five will return.

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.

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.

You have the choice of outdoor seating with great views or indoor. The menu has a decent variety of items not limited to seafood so everyone in your party has options. It's not a 5 star rating because vendors and a woman asking for money to buy medication interrupted our dinner. Very awkward when you are mid-bite. For that reason, make sure you don't sit near the edge or front of the restaurant.

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!
