“ This place is good for enjoy a delicious food with enjoying the view. They offer different menus for the time of the day. I am giving 4 stars because they forgot one of the items of the order. The price is very good with the equivalent of the quality-price. ”
“ The best place on Ajijic plaza to enjoy a drink or a meal, and watch the world go by. With an excellent location at the north-eastern corner of the square, Jardin Plaza restaurant has great service, fair prices, and good food. Over the past four months it's become a regular hangout for me. Highly recommended... ”
“ We ate there twice. The first time I had sopa Azteca...it was meh! The 2nd time we had the arrachera steak (very tender) and we also had some fresh homemade Apple pie Everything was OK, not WOW. ”
“ Very nice open seating area outside in the plaza. Beers were cold, and the food was fine- lovely way to pass a few hours ”
“ This is where you want to go when you are new in town. For Americans, this restaurant is an excellent “entry level” dining experience to smoothly transition into Ajijic. The garden setting is lush, breathtaking. You go go just for that. The fresh fruit plate is worth the visit in its own right. We stopped for a late breakfast and eased into our week. The staff managed our weak Spanish with gracious hospitality. ”
