    Nice and bright. Stands out from the road.

    Nice rustic ambiance. Very pleasant service. Our server was very helpful assisting us in making our selections. The barbecue was great KC Style BBQ. Brisket was nice juicy and tender come out properly. Margaritas were incredible course they have a chicken fried steak on the menu down here which is a nice choice for me to try next time . I give my highest recommendation

    Halfway through our meal- onion rings, brisket, herb potato

    The food and ambience was excellent. Very well cooked meats and the BBQ sauce is homemade and good. We will be back.

    Mesquite smoked ribs and brisket so tender and delicious, equal to the best I have ever had. Great, friendly service.

    GREAT craft beer selection from across Mexico! Excellent burgers! I stumbled upon Merendero Lake…read moreBurger while walking around town. HAD to try some of the craft beers. I had recently eaten so wasn't hungry, but saw a guy enjoying a delicious looking burger and onion rings. Pledged to come back for a burger (and to try more beers!) the next day. I ordered the Jalisco specialty burger- a burger with cheese, guacamole and a grilled slice of fresh pineapple- TOTALLY out of my norm but it was delicious and filling! Soft, fresh bun, lettuce and tomato, sliced pickles and jalapeños on the side. This was one those burgers you pick up but can't put down until you finish, then fork up everything delicious that squeezed out! Messy and totally worth it. More conventional burgers and chicken are available along with exotic fare like lamb, venison, boar, and ostrich. Other fare include pepitos (sandwiches), seafood, pasta, and salads. Everything I saw on other's plates looked appetizing. Staff was super helpful and available. Prices were very reasonable for the quality. Try it.

    This place looks like another tourist trap! They sell average beer at a very high price. If you…read morewith to be charged almost 20 USD for a beer (which they never show you the menu with prices...) just go there. If you want to drink an artisanal beer at a decent price, there are plenty other places in Ajijic with prices 6X lower and far better quality!

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.

I'm Armenian and have grown up on these foods. The owner was extremely professional and we exchanged recipes on the shush kabab. I knew they marinated their lamb two-three days it was like butter. The desserts were delicious and the price was excellent. We all left full and happy. What else can you ask for. We highly recommend this restaurant before a show and will definitely be back.

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!
