SYSY Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 This topic is dedicated your TOP 5 Restaurants here at Lakeside. This Topic is NOT: About criticizing other people's choices or restaurants people have listed - instead, pick your own 5 favorites and make your case for them. We have a fantastic selection of restaurants to choose from here and so many new ones opening every day - I hope people can help out the newbies at Lakeside with their experience. Thanks! My Top 5 Restaurants: 1. Indian Curry in Centro Laguna - great fast food, low prices, excellent service - I never tire of eating here! 2. Cocinart in Ajijic - very good food, good service, fantastic desserts - nice sit down environment 3. Masayume in Ajijic - great japanese food! Newish... 4. Alex Pasta Bar - try the Osso Bucco 5. Tony's Fried Chicken in San Antonio - love the strips and the tater salad It's kind of hard to rank these, but that's the best I can do - there are many others that are OK and some I like, but this is the TOP 5.

Emma90210 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hi ! I just recently move here.. I am surprised of the chapala kitchen.. I have to say one of my favorite restaurant is La Vita Bella, I went already to El Jardín D´Shanti, Garufa (which I found the price quite high) and some small restaurants in the area... I´ve heard a lot of comments about Tango. I guess I will visit some of those you named. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafterbr Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Interesting I find Tango which is usually rated number one barely mentioned here whereas Cocinart received several top votes. I would agree I have always thought Tango was over rated. Number one for me is Concinart with Lety's for fish. Mediteranian{misspelled} for pasta, Chopsticks for Vietnamese, and La Huerta for coffee and cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 rafterbr, did you mean El Huerto Café in Riberas? If so, you should also know that they serve a nice selection of the best salads lakeside.... and many other excellent lunches and breakfasts.

ComputerGuy Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Lo Huerto means The Garden as opposed to El Huerto, which means orchard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Weird. I would have thought it was the other way round. Remember that I used to live in La Huerta which was most definitely an avocado orchard originally. El Huerto café is a nice café in a garden setting where they grow their own salad greens.

Ferret Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I just hauled out my heavier than sin Simon & Shuster's English/Spanish Spanish/English Dictionary. To add to the confusion: La Huerta is defined as "garden, vegetable garden, orchard, cultivated land, irrigated land" and El Huerto is defined as "fruit or vegetable garden, orchard". Clear as mud.

ComputerGuy Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I knew you couldn't resist. I wonder if the naming of a place like La Huerta is just one of those colloquial things that sound pretty. But this one is Lo Huerto, so...

lakeside7 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I guess I just eat to live and if I find a place I like and is consist in quality and value for money I stick going to the same place Cocinart, Cocinart , Dona Lona, Goshes, American Legion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to my expert, they are the same (veg garden or orchard) except La Huerta is bigger and El Huerto is smaller. 2 hours ago, ComputerGuy said: Lo Huerto means The Garden as opposed to El Huerto, which means orchard. According to the same expert, Lo Huerto does not exist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
