Please, that it is rarely cooked, get a good meal. All regular menu items are great and really delicious, but BBQ night is a SUPER value and everything you can eat!

Really good service, delicious BBQ and side dishes. Owner Marco Bouleau is serious about meeting customers ' needs--if we call him in advance for something special we want, he is happy to comply. His menu features Mexican food as well as gringo dishes. His imported organic calf liver, smothered in sauteed onions and topped with bacon slices is the best Lakeside, IMHO. And his chamorro! (Not on the menu, but he makes it as a Friday special sometimes and makes it for us anytime we ask in advance. If you get on his mailing list, he will notify you about specials. He also does a great job catering dinner parties. The location up the hill on the street that runs behind Soriana can be a bit of a challenge to find the first time, but it 's well worth looking for.

For the past 4 years this restaurant has been added to the must visit list...usually twice in the week we are there. We always have the chorizo burrito as it is our favourite! The family that owns the restaurant are great and offer wonderful service (speaking English too). It is a typical small run Mexican restaurant. You go for the people and food, not the high end furniture and upscale wine list. (I suggest the 2 for 1 margaritas) But that is the lure and charm of this area of Mexico!! Lunch for 4 with drinks was 450 pesos. We look forward to going back next year when we visit the area.
