"My family and I (party of 14) went for dinner at Casa Lule and had an amazing experience. First thing we noticed was the amazing service, with the entire staff helping each other out and checking in on us. We were able to meet the owners, bartenders, servers and chef Marcos, who were extremely personable and made the experience feel like home. Second, was the food! I would highly recommend the Aguachile and the Birria Plate as an appetizer, easily the best dishes we have had since coming to Ajijic. We had the Salmon and Carne en su Jugo which were also delicious! Chef Marcos came to the table many times to explain to us the dishes and even brought out delicious starter appys, fun palate cleanser and a cute sugar cookies to end the night. I would highly recommend this place and can’t wait to come back again! Thank you everyone!"

"So many people were telling us about this new restaurant that we had to visit it this Mother's Day. We were not disappointed! We all ordered the French Toast and it was amazing. We met the owner Marco and his lovely mother. We'll be going back to sample other items on the menu as soon as we can."

"We had a lovely dinner in this beautiful secluded garden spot. The service was attentive, and all of the servers gave us friendly and helpful information in English. The chef visited our table and explained some of the special foods and flavors for the evening. The food was a delicious mix of traditional flavors and ingredients with a fresh interpretation and some surprises. Lots of little extras such as a yummy corn and cheese mini appetizer, and little sweets provided at the end of the meal. We spent a week in Ajijic and this was our favorite restaurant!"

What a gem; the surroundings, the food, the service led by the amazing Hospitality-Captain Poncho...every attention to detail, It was all wonderful. Casa Lule has instantly become one our top three Ajijic/Chapala area restaurants.. can't wait to show it off to others! Mick & Mike, Ajijic"

"We’ve had many fine meals in Michelin starred restaurants. This ranks up there with the best we’ve been to. Service food and atmosphere were excellent. (A lack of a wine list / cellar should not stop you from reserving a table). Marco, Arni, Saul, provided us wonderful attention. We cannot recommend Casa Lule enough!"
