Two very different restaurants. One shared intention: cooking with love.

In this installment of Living La Vida Lakeside, I visit two locally owned Ajijic restaurants led by women whose kitchens are built on care, tradition, and community. From a tiny breakfast-and-lunch spot just off the plaza to a relaxed Italian restaurant designed for long dinners and conversation, this episode is about more than food — it’s about the people behind it.

Join me as I sit down with the owners, watch food prepared up close, talk with local diners, and explore how love shows up in kitchens across Lakeside.
