So many improvements, too. When we left Ajijic at the end of February 2025, they were renovating the restaurant 'in town.' What a lovely surprise to discover the renovations to the temporary location. Fantastic job! That's the only thing that's changed. The food, service and staff are as excellent as always. The steaks, cooked precisely as you wish, play a starring role, accompanied by a delicious demi corn on-the-cob and a baked potato, as classic as it gets. Bruno's has salads, and meat options other than steak plus a decent wine list. Desserts are available.

The only reason why I'm giving four stars instead of five is because of the road noise from the cars and trucks passing by. But the view of the lake and mountains are beautiful and the patio is comfortable and spacious. The limonada is fresh and tart; I recommend it with mineral water and slightly sweet. To order this in Spanish just say, "limonada con agua mineral con poco jarabe". There are two dishes that I particularly enjoyed here. They are: one. There are two dishes that I particularly enjoy here. 1. Arrachera con papa y verduras al vapor: skirt steak with baked potato and steamed veggies. It's flavorful and delicious. The potato may be smaller than you expect, but it's all yum when JT comes to the table. 2. Pizza Charly: wood fired relatively thin crust pizza with sausage, pepperoni and ham. Perfect sauce and crispy crunch. For dessert, don't forget the strawberry flambé nestled under vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate sauce and nuts. The only recommendation is for them to bring you a bigger spoon because your table mates will devour it before you can say: "Que te pasa, guey!" Translation: "dude, what is wrong with you!" #wtf I'm a big fan of this spot, and if you get a hug from a little girl who's about that high, don't be alarmed. That's just Charlotte, she is the daughter of which the restaurant is so named.

To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. To begin instead of two Chiles we were only given one a piece. The Chile is normally served with pomegranate seeds on top, we were told that they were out of pomegranate seeds. That's part of what gives it it's flavor! When we took a bite...the inside was cold! We had to argue about it with the waitress as she tried to tell us it's supposed to be and got her nose out of joint when we asked her to warm them up.

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.

Ignore the 2 earlier reviews done many months ago when they opened, these are not accurate today. Food, service, value and experience were ALL EXCELLENT. We enter and the dining room was empty. The hottest asked if we'd like to sit inside or out, we asked her recommendation and followed here to the outdoor patio where there were numerous people, a bar and live music. WOW, were we surprised. And it just kept getting better. A basket of bread was served with four types of sauces, wine was great, food was even better. Of note, we appeared to be the ONLY tourist here. The crowd seemed local, families and upscale. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
