The Merendero Lake - Ajijic

This is one of my favorite places for a burger. Good location, food, and drinks.

They had a very nice vegan vegetable sandwich. Also really good craft beer and a decent margarita.

Consistently great burgers and shrimp. I have the Merendero burger and Susan has the Merendero Shrimp. Great every time.

Mescal margarita was fantastic, normal margarita and mojito were good too. Great selection of craft beers for Mexico, even up to 10% ABV which seems pretty rare down here. We later came back and got a Cantarito (clay pot) with margarita in it, which was very large and good for $140 pesos. Crema de Portobello was pretty good as was Azteca sopa. Canapés de Camarones were tasty as well, basic just a whole shrimp on a little garlic bread. Hamburguesa de Camarones was delicious, a little spicy, on great bread, pretty much perfect. The boar hamburger was interesting as well, sort of tough meat. The Camarones Merendero was very strange, pecans, onions, shrimp, fries and this sort of alfredo-esque sauce. Good service and location.

We are staying at Casa Del Sol for the week..its election Sunday and we went out for dinner and every place was closed..we saw this place..figured..ah..cant go wrong with a burger.. Well....to our surprise this place is much more then just burgers..we had the Mexican grilled cheese for an appetizer and Mom got the shrimp burger with fries..the fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned and the shrimp burger was amazing..I got the shrimp ajillo which was delicious and seasoned perfectly with small strips of peppers . We had a few margaritas..service was good..music was nice and a fun group of customers...sometimes a burger place can really surprise you..this was wonderful.. Thank you
