Laspan Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 While in Chapala on Tuesday, four of us decided to drop into Richard's to try their fare. Unfortunately we didn't know that Richard's was closed onTuesdays. Earlier, on our way back from the Chapala Golf Club, we had passed a new restaurant/boutique hotel on the road that leads east out of Chapala toward Mezcala. We thought, why not! Well it turned out to be a patio one level up under a palapa roof restaurant overlooking the lake and owned/run by Ricardo (who speaks excellent English). Most entres are 95 pesos and includes your choice of appetizer. The menu was small but varied and included shrimp, fish, chicken, etc. Wine was 35 pesos. The food was well prepared and very tasty. Also found out that Richard dines there on Sundays. The two are good friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Feet Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 A nice lady told us about this place at the market. We are going to try it. Hope we can find it. What a strange name for a restaurant? What does it mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Ronnfeldt Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 The waiter at the restaurant told me it's "The Letter Ch". I guess because Chapala starts with a Ch?? It's a great place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Look for a sign that says El Mirador; a building with a palapa on top. North side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrod Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Two of us had lunch today at this lovely little restaurant with nice service and ambiance. Entrees, ranging from $95 for arrachera to $135 for salmon (most are $125) include an appetizer choice and a side. There's 6 or 7 choices in each category: arrachera is the only beef, there's a chicken and cheese dish, one pasta with shrimp and calamari in a cream sauce, two shrimp choices, bassa, and salmon. Wine is $40 for a decent pour; desserts are available, but we did not try them. A little pricy for lunch, but the two guys are so eager and trying hard to make a go of it. Excellent English also spoken. It's fly season, though, and despite misting with the Ajax stuff, they were a bit of a pain. We will go back, though, and enjoyed our meal.

The people here are quoting different prices. One says wine is 35p the other says it is 40p One says most entrees are 95p the other says 125p Who is right? All this in a week Whatever!

Wookie Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 We went the other day and the food and service was great. We both had shrimp dishes ... mine was the coconut shrimp. It was so good ... the breading was not thick and the coconut did not overwhelm the shrimp. We are going back with friends on my birthday which shows how much we really enjoyed it. Thanks, Ricardo and Oscar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losgatos Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 We have eaten there twice, both excellent meals. It sounds a little pricey for lunch, but the price includes a choice of appetizer and, I believe, a choice of side dishes, salad, etc. It's a good value. Also they are sharp on presentation. That is the foods are artfully arranged on the plate. Yeah, I know that doesn't count for a lot unless the portions are sufficient and the food is to taste, and both are true at letra Ch. I've had the salmon in orange sauce and the coconut shrimp and both times the flavoring was subtle, not overwhelming but complementing the food. Probably the best salmon I've had. Anyway this little bistro is definitely way above the average fare here. Someone knows what they are doing in the kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
