Tabarka restaurante - 45920 Ajijic

Really good, paella was great, just know they need a heads up as it takes 30-45 mins to finish. Call ahead? But ok since they have the best margaritas in town.

It was a depressing experience. The bathroom was poorly kept and so were the tables and chairs. The food was unappetizing to say the least. The salsas were terrible and you could tell it is not considered in high regard as we were the only ones there.

Relaxing and beautiful atmosphere. Excellent and friendly service.

Lovely setting, nice varied menu. Paella is the way to go...it takes 35 minutes to prepare, made on the spot with your specifications. The tapas were a nice treat.

A lovely open air restaurant, great service, good vibes, lovely ambience. Serving various Paelas and Tapas. Definitely the Paella in town, give the Sangria a miss.

Overall, the food was good, but not outstanding, and all of the aspects aside from the food left something to be desired. I would go back if someone else wanted to, but wouldn't suggest it myself. The seafood soup was very good, we all preferred it to everything else we ordered, once it finally came out, quite a bit after we had eaten everything else to the point I thought maybe they had forgotten about it. All of the shrimp we had was very good, the grilled monkfish was interesting, quite moist, but maybe not as flavorful as I was hoping for (perhaps the garlic sauce was a poor choice). The side options we ordered (sweet salad, galacian potatoes, grilled peppers, and ratatouille) were all quite good. The warm mediterranean salad was quite nice. The chocolate truffles were good but would have been much better with some ice cream (they were covered is some sort of cocoa powder which was great, but really dried your mouth out) Nice outdoor setting, but with less attention to detail than you'd find at similar restaurants. Things like very little outdoor lighting to the point that my parents couldn't easily see to eat, that sort of thing. Candles or Christmas lights in the trees would have made a huge difference. Even before it was actually night time, it was dark enough that I had to use my flash to get the food photos. Service was ... indifferent? There was only one waiter, we seated ourselves with no one taking our temperature or anything (our waiter did have his mask on while dealing with us but I don't know that I saw the kitchen staff wearing any). He never asked if we wanted more drinks when ours were empty, or really made any sort of conversation other than repeating our orders to us. He was polite and did get the things we asked though. I was not impressed with the margarita, but the michelada was slightly better.

Nice place , good service , pet friendly . The waiter warn us that if takes around 35 min for Paella to be cooked .

the food was good, the atmosphere was great. I'm just writing a review to say they have the best margarita in Mexico. I don't bartender’s name but he was 12 years old and I am going back to tomorrow and hope he is out server / bartender
