Here is a recent post on another thread by "Ajijic" regarding this mess. 

I believe the Tortilleria Elena that everyone is referring to is located at Calle Galeana #11, behind La Parroquia.

I went to this link...very interesting. I did not know that the price of corn was controlled by the government at 10 pesos a kilo. How can they make a profit at that especially if they are using the non subsidized version of masa. Half a kilo would last me a week. 

I think it's interesting that a thread titled "Mexican cheeses" is primarily a discussion about American cheddar cheese.

I think that is is because the answer to my question about a Mexican version of  sharp cheddar is that there is none. How ironic that in a country where everything is so spicy their cheese is so bland.

I keep hearing about new laws. What new laws? has anyone seen them...chapter, verse, article X, section Y? I read somewhere here that new laws had been written but not "published". If so they have not been implemented yet. Maybe I am wrong and if I am please tell me and quote the law that says "it is illegal for someone with a permanent visa to drive a foreign plated car with a sticker on the windshield"...chapter and verse. I asked before if anyone personally knew of someone having their car confiscated for this "crime" (not from your gardeners uncles friend) and so far silence.The only time this has happened as far as i can tell is some poor sap taking forged documents (unknown to him) to get his new "registration".  As reported in the Reporter this week there are tons of weasels  benefiting from perpetrating this confusion and I refuse to buy into it. Would you not think that the police chief or top law enforcement in this this municipality would have come out and clarified this "new law" after so much hoopla here. Yes, I am permanent and drive an old foreign plated truck, and until someone convinces me otherwise i will keep driving,,,and keep a 500 peso note among my papers just in case..."when in Rome....". In the worst case they can have my truck...it's worth less than $1,000 anyway. And please, all you self righteous blatherers out there, just move on to the next post.

Just avoid that whole area. Going west come down into San Antonio, at the Plaza make a right on Ramon Corona, go all the way past the horse rental area and just past the street that has the Tiangues make a left and then a right onto 16th of Septembre and into Ajijic. You have to make that jog because the street turns into one way after the Tiangues street. Also down there closer to the lake the parking is better. Coming back is a strait shot on Constitucion right into San Antonio again. Great way to avoid the rascals and a more scenic route with less traffic.
