"What a wonderful gem! The Hot Rod Burrito Grill located in the Bugambilia shopping center on the carretera in Ajjic next to the movie theatre. Who knew that George has been making wonderful (big) burritos there for 15 years! Also one of the best burgers in town! Highly recommend this little gem! A wonderful 50s style restaurant and a must try!"

"Jorge and his daughter are two of the best people you will ever meet in Ajijic. They serve up North of the Border Gringo-style Mexican food (and burgers). And they do it with the friendliest smile you have ever seen. If I had one complaint, its that they are not in a better location to get more foot traffic. This is a hidden gem that shouldn't be hidden."

"My Mom had been wanting a Taco Salad really bad the last few days and I saw they made one..We live on El Dorado and used Traitte..Order came fast and hot. I got Nachos which I was worried would be small so I ordered a burrito too..Wow Fabulous Nachos..Right about of meat..They have meat choices which is great cause Mom doesn't do red meat. The Nachos were a good complete meal I'd order again. Mom loved her Taco salad. The tostata was great..Did get some moisture on bottom of container.. maybe from tomatoes..Which made the bottom soggy..BUT Mom said it didn't effect taste and she'd definitely order it again. I didn't taste the burrito yet but looks great..Sauces were tasty as well(the hot salsa). Thank you for a great meal. Fred"
