The first few times we had pizza here, we were very happy. The last two times, not so much. Pizza was blah and seemed like the topping were thrown on after the pizza was cooked. Small private restaurant with very friendly owners. We'll give them another chance one of these weeks, but with so many place to eat in Ajijic, the food HAS to be good to get us to go back.

On our first visit we enjoyed the Italian flavors (ravioli and sherry, cream sauce over fettucini) so much that we decided to return a couple nights later. On the second visit I ordered a simple spaghetti with tomato basil garlic sauce. Being all set for a nice vegetarian bowl, I was disappointed when the sauce was so spicy it brought tears to my eyes. Sent it back to the kitchen to be toned down a bit and it returned still too peppery. Luckily my partner was willing to swap entrees. Don't worry, the tiramisu left a much better taste! I'd return, but stick to dishes prepared with some dairy product to cool the picante.

Across from the Auditorium in La Floresta is this wonder pizzeria. The atmosphere is light and clean, the service is friendly and attentive. We shared the vegetarian pizza, The crust was thin and crisp as we like it, the vegetables on the pizza were beautiful and tasty. Our dessert was made with pizza crust, split in half and filled with Nutella, strawberries and banana. It was delicious. This restaurant will definitely be one of our "go to" restaurants.

My wife and i are staying the month of February in Ajijic and passed this restaurant many times. Didn't have a lot of reviews on Tripadvisor so kind of ignored it. We went last night and am sorry it took so long. the food was delicious and creative. I saw on the menu fettuccine pesto with shrimp or chicken. i love and make pesto and thought i'd give it a try. It was not typical but in many ways better. They chopped alot of fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts and sauteed it then added to pasta. It was not classic pesto but light and extremely delicious. the Caesar Salad, pumpkin ginger soup, lasagna and tiramisu were also excellent. will definitely go back.

Donât order the egg sandwich...youâll be addicted. We eat here fairly often and have tried most menu items, all of which were very good. Extremely popular on weekends; getting there before 10 is a good plan.

Wonderful dinner at this great restaurant. We had the Portobello Mushrooms dish with roasted vegetables on a bed of Mexican cheese....yummy! The tower of Shrimp and Guacamole was great as was a beautiful thick cut of Prime Rib, complete with perfect mashed potatoes from russets not the local Yukon gold type that make lumpy mashed potatoes. The chef at Jitomate is quite talented, and the food is always delicious. Friday night is Prime Rib Night!

Returning after almost a year, Alexâs staff are just as attentive and welcoming as ever. Our group had the salad, and zucchini flowers to begin, and the catch of the day, which was sea bass. All delicious, served well, and washed down with a cocktail or two and nice glass of 2 km wine. Dessert was creme brûlée, Gorgonzola ice cream and tiramisu. We will be back for more!
