Calling all seafood lovers! This is THE place for you…read more Writing this after my second visit, and more visits are sure to happen. This multidimensional menu is a goldmine of great dishes, appetizers, and drinks. Seared ahi tuna, shrimp enchiladas, and the ceviche are highly recommended. Added plus: their drink menu offers "healthy" (low sugar) options which taste great.

First all, Ajijic is a wonderful TEENY little town right on Lake Chapala. Across the beautiful lake…read moreyou can see white greenhouses for berries and other fruits and vegetables. Ajijic has a sizeable retiree population so you'll find lots and lots of good food here at La Paceña, especially seafood! I split the chile relleno (no meat) and a simple salad. It was pretty good, but the atmosphere was lovely, especially if you stay at one of the great places nearby like the Casa del Sol!

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.

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.

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.

What's that? You've never heard of molecajete? Yeah, yeah, it's the lava rock bowl that is used as a mortar and pestle to grind stuff like crack, I mean like peppers and salsas. But used as a serving dish, it's like having your sizzling fajitas served in a hot bowl that has gooey melty cheese at the bottom, ready to be spooned onto a fresh and chewy tortilla. I've been here twice and both were on a Sunday. There are mariachi bands who will roam the restaurant and play music at your request. It's a serenade and live entertainment. May I suggest you get some tequila and either drown your sorrows with the songs or celebrate your love of life! Either way, it's a beautiful view, the food is good and music is better. Overall, I like it here and we will return on my day off. The flan is sweet, cold and creamy and the food is tasty. I'd give it another star if it weren't for the occasional stained tablecloth and crushed tortilla chips on the floor. Maybe I notice too much? Maybe I expect too much? Or maybe I just need more tequila?

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.

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! 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.

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.
