A meal at Blue Rose is one of the best experiences, Lakeside. We enjoyed the famous Cobb salad and mushroom chicken meal. As you can see, the serving sizes are very generous. Everything from the pleasant welcome when we arrived to the impeccable and competent service created a wonderful evening.

Perfect right from the beginning; we were greeted warmly, seated promptly, drinks arrived exactly as ordered and they were beautifully presented...Pink Lady and a Cucumber Margarita. The serving staff were lovely and the food was good. The Beef Filet Grilled Cheese Sandwich was very tasty if a bit messy. If the quality of the thinly sliced filet is any indication of their steak items, I'm in! Fries were small, crispy and well-seasoned. The Shrimp in Lettuce Cups was very tasty but also messy...odd lettuce leaves for such a dish as they didn't 'fold' well; it worked better chopped and enjoyed as a salad. Both above orders, two Pink Ladies and a Coffee Americana cost 670 pesos + tip.

I really enjoyed my food, the restaurant was nice and we had our dinner indoors so we didn’t have to deal with any mosquitos, the service was great and desert was delicious, we will definitely go back in another time.

Service by a very sweet and attentive young lady is what brought this to a four star. For the price the meals were only ok. The space is on the cold looking side for our taste. The front facade doors are very attractive, and helped. The Spanish coffees we ordered were the worst I had ever had. They were ice cold, even though they arrived almost immediately after ordering. I am not exaggerating about the cold.

Lives up to the hype. Great service. Great atmosphere. Great food. Blue Rose is a small, intimate steakhouse on the western fringes of Ajijic. Tastefully decorated and featuring indoor and outdoor seating, it's long been considered on of the best steak joints in the area. And it lives up to its reputation... Service is super friendly and helpful, and the food is frankly excellent. Pro-Tip: The Devilled Eggs are off the chain.

Last night we went to the Blue Rose Bistro. We were greeted by a very attentive staff. I started with the Beet and Mezcal Margarita and also had the Cucumber Margarita. We had the Walnut shrimp which were delicious..and who doesn't like deviled Eggs..Theirs were artistic and Delicious. I had the Cucumber soup which is served cold and very frothy so it's very light and refreshing. Its served with a garnish of Avocado and Cucumber with a EVOO Drizzle. I will start by saying..I do not like filet as a steak..But theirs was delicious. I Got the Bleu Cheese with Shrimp. The Bleu Cheese made it richer and more flavourful. The shrimp were Delicious almost crisp..and seasond so perfect.. it was a perfect dinner. The Owner came over to introduce herself which is always nice.
