Directions: From Walmart head west on the carretera approximately 2 1/2 miles. Casa del Waffle will be on your right just past the car wash and Roberto's Restaurant. There is parking available in front of the restaurant.
La Casa del Waffle offers outdoor seating and some indoor seating, with a large open door onto the patio. This is a clean and pleasant little breakfast café. Free wifi is available for customers.
I almost did not review this restaurant because I thought it was a chain. But, turns out that the "chain" started in Ajijic, and this La Casa del Waffle is the original restaurant. The other two restaurants in Guadalajara are based on the Ajijic model.
When we arrived at about 10 am on a Friday morning and there were plenty of available tables. Very loud American rock music was playing, almost too loud to carry on a conversation.
La Casa del Waffle offers a variety of fruit topped Belgian waffles, pancakes and traditional eggs, potatoes and bacon, but also has a few traditional Mexican breakfast specialties.
They also offer a children's menu, so this is definitely a family friendly restaurant. On Sunday mornings, after church, lines form outside Casa del Waffle, waiting for a seat.
This morning we ordered the Good Morning Breakfast - sausage and eggs on toasted English muffins, topped with gravy - and a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, and refried beans, accompanied by an a la carte order of biscuits.
Our meals were served hot and were good, almost like a real American breakfast. The biscuits were not really biscuits, qua biscuits, but rather breakfast yeast rolls, cut open and toasted.
I was a bit disappointed that they were not real, southern style biscuits but I realize that not every place in the world interprets biscuits like this southerner.
The coffee was very good, and a waiter came by the table to freshen our cups almost as soon as they were empty.
The waiter kept our coffee cups filled and was a little anxious to remove our plates before we were finished with our meals.
Our meal, without tip, came to $222 pesos, or about $17US, about what we pay in the US when we visit a breakfast chain restaurant.
If you sit in the patio area you can lessen the effects of the blaring music, which will improve your experience significantly.

Menu
We have been to La Casa del Waffle several times since we have lived at Lake Chapala.

They also offer a children's menu, so this is definitely a family friendly restaurant. On Sunday mornings, after church, lines form outside Casa del Waffle, waiting for a seat.

Service and Price
The service is very good at La Casa del Waffle. We were waited on immediately, and served coffee while we read the menu. When we have visited previously, we were served a small basket of bread, but not this time. I am not sure why.The waiter kept our coffee cups filled and was a little anxious to remove our plates before we were finished with our meals.
Our meal, without tip, came to $222 pesos, or about $17US, about what we pay in the US when we visit a breakfast chain restaurant.
Our recommendation ***

This is a nice, clean restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and good food at a fair price.If you sit in the patio area you can lessen the effects of the blaring music, which will improve your experience significantly.
