An Evening at Elegante!

We have been in Ajijic, MX for less than a week....and I still have found 30 more restaurants that I want to try.....problem is, we don't have enough time.  Enjoying our time and will be here for another eight days.   

Tonight we stumbled upon Elegante while walking to the restaurant we intended to stop in.  Problem...they were closed for the holiday and will be open on January 10 but more on that later.  

Elegante is located on Constitucion 59 Centro.  A odd thing about being in Mexico is they do not have signs that project out to the street.   All signage is directly on the building so it is difficult to see unless you are across the street.  

Tonight we started with their soups

Brian enjoyed Potato Leek Soup

I enjoyed their Aztec Soup but I 
have called it Tortilla Soup

Our entrees were also very good.....Brian had their Lamb Arrachera and I had their Chicken Fettuccine.  Both were very nicely priced for a "cloth napkin" restaurants which is unusual for Mexican Dining.    Brian's dish was 210 peso and my dish was 150 peso.   In UDS that comes to less than $18!   

                          And of course, Vanilla Ice Cream for dessert

Elegante does close at 845PM so be sure to get there early.

Ajijic Tango!!!

What a great evening of dining!!!

We are enjoying a great trip to Ajijic, MX and everything here is so wonderful.   As it looks right now, we will not have enough time to eat in all the restaurants I want to try.  Out first night I wanted to try Ajijic Tango....an nicer steakhouse and our visit was very nice.   

Our Server Martha, was very kind and helpful.   I was trying to speak with her in Spanish and she answered all our questions in English.    We were off to a great start.  

Here is Mexico, they always bring an assortment of salsas and butter to enjoy the wonderful breads made here.   Most restaurants do their own in house baking.  

Chimichurri, Salsa and Butter

                Our next Choices from Martha was our salads and they were very good.  

Brian's salad was their Parmesan Prosciutto and I chose the Mixed Salad and also ordered  and Empanada Elote....a small appetizer with corn filling.  

On to our main meal selections and they were outstanding.  Brian chose the filet mignon, mashed potatoes.   For my choice, the pork loin with mushrooms, sweet potato mash and assorted mixed vegetables.   

We looked over their extensive dessert menu and both of us wanted ice cream.   They offered the ice cream with fruit but we decided on just the ice cream.   

Ajijic Tango was a great choice for the evening meal.....and maybe we can 

get to return soon!!

Bon Appetit and Enjoy your Wonderful World
