We've been to dozens of restaurants in the area during the months we've lived in Ajijic and our experience has usually coincided with the online reviews. However, our experience at the Hole in One restaurant did not agree at all so it motivated me to write this review.
We went there for lunch so I can't comment on the dinner staff or on the dinner menu selection.
The prices were reasonable and the ambiance was not bad--a view of the lake in one direction and a view of the mountains in the other combined with roomy and comfortable seating. However, the lunch menu consisted of just a few greasy, grilled and fried sandwich selections. In addition, the margarita I had was way too sweet--possibly suffering from too much sweet and sour mix--and the service was slow even though the lunch service was winding down.
The most disagreeable thing and the main reason I'm writing this review is my experience with the bill. First, the bill had a charge for 3 beers and one margarita even though my wife had 2 beers and I had one margarita. I mentioned that to the waiter, the bill was corrected (honest mistake or diversionary tactic?), and I handed him a 500 peso bill. He then returned with change as if I had given him a 200 peso bill. By this time, there were no other customers to hear the ensuing argument and it was my word against his (my wife having been in the bathroom when I paid the bill) so we finally left having now paid 300 pesos for the lesson never to go back there. Because I paid so much for the lesson, I decided it was worth sharing.
In contrast, I have found the staff at every other restaurant in the area to be honest and friendly, the food to be of good quality, the prices reasonable, and the menu selections to range from good to outstanding.
