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!

His daughter Estellita opened a new restaurant on the carretera named Armando's Legacy which has a very similar menu and is also open for breakfast. It's on the south side of the carretera just past the two motels (also on the left) as you go uphill (west) from the last stoplight in Ajijic.

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.

Highly recommend five out of five will return.

The french fries are giant and pillowy and perfectly fried. I like how the ketchup is served generously on the side and it tastes like actual Heinz, for all y'all fellow ketchup connoisseurs. The tiny halves d cherry tomato with parsley sprig is dressed with a touch of balsamic vinegar which is cute and yummy. Service is very attentive, with frequent refills of your drink and if you're a sports fan, American NFL can be seen playing on a smallish TV screen above the bar. Perhaps if they had a bigger screen with sound, I would be able to watch my beloved Houston Texans and upgrade to a 5 Estrella. Go JJ Watt! For dessert, I recommend the lemon pie, I didn't really like the local ice cream I got on previous visit. I recommend them highly!
