Chile Verde — Restaurant in Jalisco

I am always looking for "hole in the wall" places and saw this restaurant, which as I was walking through the beautiful Ajijic Plaza earlier in the day and mentally 'hooked' it. I walked around the quaint city of Ajijic for about an hour and decided I would drop in for a late breakfast or early lunch. I missed breakfast so I ordered the chile rellenos and a taco adobada. The chile rellenos (2) were excellent. They used the classic poblano chile and the superior queso fresco (fresh cheese), not boring Monterrey cheese. It came with rice, beans and freshly made corn tortillas. I was sitting directly in front of the lady hand making the tortillas. I had to mentally force myself to stop eating the tortillas! Though my children call me a stalker, I always try and see what is coming off the line, which is easy because it is only a few feet away, and I saw a very nice looking and juicy beef fajitas as well as tacos dorados. Noteworthy is that they also have a daily meal, takeout and serve beer. If my deal goes through, this location will definitely be one of my weekly stops. Not fancy but nicely located, quick, good and fairly priced, thus it deserved 5 stars...

My favorite mexican lunch place in Ajijic. Small, dark, and often full - it took a while before I even tried the food. But their daily specials are compelling, my favorites are the albondigas (meatball) soup on Tuesdays, and the pepián on Wednesday. The chiles rellenos from the daily menu are exceptional too. There's a different flavor of fruit water (agua fresca) every day, usually with pulp and seeds at the bottom. Tortillas are made fresh, to order. And the people who work there are...

Great Food, Great Prices, Great Value, Great Service, and Great WiFi

Just enjoyed their Friday lunch special (a really great beef and bacon soup for 65p) and a tall glass of lime juice. Good view of the plaza, too.

Came here on the recommendation of the Ajijic car rental lady, who said that this was her favorite restaurant in Ajijic for authentic Mexican food.

This place is frequented by both local Mexicans...
