mara"s - Chapala

Atención del dueño, súper agradable te dan a escoger cantidad y los platillos, rico café en la mañanita, música bajo volumen Super agradable New age, para charlar mientras comes.

Comida tipo Buffet con Guisos Mexicanos, nada extraordinario. Los platillos son recalentados, nada es preparado al momento.

Regresando de recoger a mi hijo y su novia del aeropuerto, vinimos a desayunar aqui. Tenian como 10 opciones de diferentes platillos para elegir: huevo, chilaquiles, lengua de res, pollo en mole y mas. Tu eliges y ellos te lo sirven en un plato, para pasar a sentarte en tu mesa. Es una casa acondicionada para restaurante, con decoracion muy agradable y un ambiente familiar. A los cuatro de nosotros nos gusto mucho lo que cada uno pidio. Lo unico que no me convencio mucho, fue el cafe, demasiado ligero para mi gusto, pero, para ser justos, debo decir que yo estoy (mal)acostumbrado a tomar cafe expreso por las mananas. El servicio es muy cordial, desde que entras al lugar y durante tu estancia. El precio, razonable. Una gran opcion para desayunar o comer estilo casero.

How did we not find this place in the five years? We just read about it on Trip Advisor and decided to try it. We were so happy. Veronica and Armando are warm and welcoming, and their hot-cooked food is excellent. As noted in other reviews, the available dishes vary from day to day, and you can also order chicken or fish. They serve flounder, unless it is not on the market in Guadalajara, in which case they buy alone. Veronica's wonderful tortillas come steaming and still puffy out of the coma. Your beans and rice are seasoned. The basic price is $70. The decor is mexican, with lots of fun art and objects on the walls. There are large plants and a well in the small garden area where you can bring your well-deserved dog. Inside the house are tables for larger groups, and they also do private parties and events. They no longer serve in a buffet line as they converted this room to make more table seats. As a hint, this could be a hard place for a pure vegetarian, as the stuffed dishes are already prepared. It is handicap accessible. The site will not allow me to give my reviews for service, food and value, but I would give them 5 stars for everyone. We cannot wait to return with friends and share this wonderful find with them.

We went for lunch after reading the reviews. And yes, it is tucked away and a bit hard to find but well worth it. The downstairs of the house has been converted into a very attractive restaurant with several seating areas. Its colorful, nicely decorated...and welcoming. The food is buffet style, cooked fresh daily. But don't think typical US buffet. They have about 5 main entrees to choose from then add rice and beans to your plate. I had the chicken mole and it was fantastic. And corn tortillas are constantly being made fresh and brought to your table hot. In addition we had a drink they make there that was a combination of mint and pineapple. Excellent! Overall, for two people, it was less than $10.00 and authentic Mexican.
