Restaurant Membrillo — Restaurant in Jalisco

I checked out this restaurant after seeing the good Google reviews. The place is small but has a nice vibe, especially the outdoor seating in the middle surrounded by a little garden full of flowers and greenery—it was really pretty.

There are also two cats that hang around. I’m allergic, but luckily they didn’t come to our table (probably because my dog was too busy barking at them). I did notice the staff kept petting one of the cats, and at one point a lady complained to the waiter because it wouldn’t stay away from her table. The waiter carried it off, but sure enough, it came back.

For food, I ordered the arrachera burrito. It looked amazing when it arrived—big and well put together—but the meat was unfortunately chewy and not what I was hoping for. I wouldn’t get it again. My wife had a burger, and that was actually really good.

Overall, the place has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, but the cats could be an issue if you’re allergic, and I’d skip...

This is without question the best restaurant in Central Ajijic, Mexico. It’s in a walled open garden setting blocks from the plaza.

Membrillo serves quality dishes, beautifully prepared. I suggest the Chamorro Al Horno. It’s a tender shank roasted in a clay oven. The sauces and spices make the meals different than the average tourist eateries.

The owner stands guard and makes certain each meal is presented properly.

This is where one goes to enjoy a meal, and not scream over a local band or singer.

Membrillo’s is reasonably priced and has a faithful clientele....

It has an extensive menu, with offerings from her previous restaurants, plus some new items from a cousin's restaurant in Guadalajara. If you like enchiladas, try the Enchiladas Morita, bathed in a sauce of smokey morita chilis, covered in cheese and baked in the oven, then topped with a drizzle of sour cream, epazote leaves, plus a sprinkling of black and white sesame seeds for a beautiful presentation (offered with your choice of protein... the shredded...
