An unforgettable experience from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a vibrant, festive atmosphere that immediately told me this is Mexican. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the chicken fajitas the aroma alone was enough to make my mouth water. The chicken was perfectly cooked – tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The seasoning was impeccable, striking the perfect balance between savory and spicy, without overwhelming the palate. Accompanied by a generous portion of sauteed bell peppers and onions, each bite was a delightful mix of textures and tastes. The fresh tortillas, served alongside, were soft and warm, ideal for wrapping up the delicious mixture. Additionally, the sides of guacamole, sour cream, provided the perfect complements, allowing me to customize each bite to my liking. The presentation was top-notch, with vibrant colors that made the dish as pleasing to the eyes as it was to the taste buds. The portion size was generous, ensuring that I left completely satisfied. The service was impeccable. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. They made excellent recommendations and ensured that our glasses were never empty, all while maintaining a friendly and welcoming demeanor. Overall, Yves' exceeded my expectations in every way. The ambiance, the exceptional food, and the outstanding service combined to create a dining experience that I will remember fondly. If you’re in the mood for authentic Mexican cuisine, I highly recommend visiting. The chicken fajitas alone are worth the trip, but the entire experience is something special. Five stars all the way!

Best food place in Ajijic!!! I was greeted and was told I could sit anywhere. I was seated down next to the beautiful fountain. The food is incredible. They have a wide range of food. Steaks, chicken, pastas, sandwiches, ext. I am gluten free and I had the chicken with mushrooms with a Bourbon sauce. It came with broccoli, carrots, and cheesy potatoes. My fiance had fettuccine with salmon. His meal also came with a salad bar where he could put any toppings on his salad. They continued to check in with us and were so friendly. Waiters spoke in English and Spanish. At the end of the night they gave us a complimentary Bailey’s shot. This place is perfect for a date night or even a casual meal with friends. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality Yves Restaurant Bar!!!

I have a lot of good things to say about our first dining experience at Yves. We came for dinner and were immediately impressed by the unique and a little bit quirky and fun grounds. The restaurant is mostly outdoors. There were 2 donkeys grazing off to the side of the ding area, and plenty of entertaining donkey art all over. There is a large fountain pool area that adds to the relaxing vibe. There is plenty of seating spread out with a bit of a casual back yard feeling. Then there is the menu and the food. Our menus were in English and had lots of variety including vegetarian options. We ordered and all our meals came with salad bar included. Everything was very fresh and well presented. Our entrees arrived shortly after our salads and the first thing we were impressed by was the portion size and presentation. The chicken fajitas could have fed 2 people easily and were delicious. My wife had the vegetarian lasagna and enjoyed it very much - and she is picky! My daughter ordered chicken fettuccine Alfredo and said it was excellent. Everyone had extra food to box up for later. What a great find. I will recommend and return!!

Nice poolside setting, decent service, excellent food With its courtyard layout, and its tables clustered around the central pool, Yves' Restaurant has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that's instantly likable. Service is friendly and efficient, and the food on offer is tasty and prepared to a high standard. Pro-Tip: The setting lends itself particularly well to enjoying a beverage or two on a warm, sunny afternoon.

Yves restaurant and garden has a very soothing atmosphere which probably reflects the kindness of the owner who provides a home for a few aged donkeys. The waiters are friendly and efficient and the walls of the restaurant are covered with art, so Yves is an excellent place for a sundowner or just to while away an afternoon when on vacation. The food is good by Mexican standards but as a South African I find Mexican food in general not to my taste.

Such a gorgeous setting for a restaurant. Had the rib eye steak, very well seasoned and tasty. My wife had the chicken in mushroom and brandy sauce. Big portion, with lots of mushrooms. A very delicious dish. The owner Yves, a very nice man, spends a lot of his own money helping helping numerous animal...give what you can!!!!

Delicious food with large portions and all of the stuff that work there are very friendly and helpful.

Delightful setting around the former pool of an old inn in Ajijic. The pool is now a centerpiece of the outdoor dining area - with multiple fountains, providing a giant bird bath for finches, sparrows, hummingbirds and other species. The owner supports a local Animal Rescue Organization, and the grounds provide a comfortable home for two white burros - Vino Blanco and Pepe, at least one cat, and a delightful Pit Bull named Rocky who will redirect you if you go to your table without using the designated paths... The food, service and ambience are all exemplary. We enjoyed cocktails of Kir Royales and Chivas Regal, their salad bar, Shrimp Fajitas, Chicken Breast in a Brandy Cream Sauce with Mushrooms, Au Gratin Potato and steamed vegetables. For dessert we enjoyed their Peanut Butter Chocolate Tart and their Lemon Tart. Everything was great, and we look forward to returning soon and often, especially since Yves is in walking distance of our new home here in Ajijic.
