The place is very spacious and colorful. There is good space between the tables, the staff is very friendly, it has a mini-farm. It has parking, with a cost of 20.00

The place is super cool, the atmosphere is family-friendly, and the food is delicious. The prices are affordable, and the cantaritos are delicious. Something I didn't like was the side dishes they have to accompany the meat; they're super small. We literally ordered beans, and they were the size of a large spoonful. Another detail is that each server serves specific tables, and if you ask someone who isn't your server for something, it won't arrive Another thing is that the servers ask for more tips than you give. I didn't think it was very appropriate, especially when you're already drunk But the place is super cool. I'll go back as soon as I can. We had a great time. 5/5

The main dishes are lamb and suckling pig. The chorizo has a very mild clove note. You can combine your order—lamb with suckling pig, suckling pig with chorizo—any way you like. The portions are generous. You won't leave hungry. In my opinion, the cantarito lacks tequila for its price. The service is good. The restaurant treated us to a show by India Torera and, for music, a norteno group. It's a place where you can have a great time with the family.

A great place for lunch or dinner. The smoked meats are fantastic. My favorite is chamorro adobado, a smoked pork leg in an amazing sauce. My husband and I share a plate and often have leftovers! We have always had great service here.

Excellent service at La Laja. Although we arrived when the place was closed, we called the number listed and within a few minutes the man arrived to let us in. They sold us delicious chorizo, one of the best we've ever tried. We'll definitely be back! Friendly service and a quality product, 100% recommended.

A nice experience, a restaurant with great quality food, delicious drinks, suckling lamb, chicken chorizo, and it's handmade by the restaurant, very delicious, something you can't miss. I hope to return very soon.

The restaurant is deeply rooted in the Tepatitlan community, because at the livestock expo they always have a space, so being in a physical space creates an opportunity to go out to eat either with family or friends...
