I got one in Phoenix in March when I went up there to get the J&J vaccine. Thank you anyway.

Thank you Alpha1.

Does anyone use that device? Can it play US music? I want to bring one when I return to Ajijic from the US.

Thank you Bandol.

Thank you.

I just discovered that the shop next to the Sunrise Restaurant is gone. Have they moved? Is there another shop inn the Lakeside?

As far as I know, it does have a thermostat. The flame is out of adjustment, does not change size and the oven temp is 48 C no matter where the oven knob is set. It a good thing that we didn't try to do a turkey this Thanksgiving! I worked for Southern California Gas about 40 years ago as a tech and used to do this kind of work. Some special tools are needed as well as the appropriate thermometer.

Our propane oven does not work properly. It needs to be adjusted and calibrated. Does anyone know of a technician who does this kind of work? Continental, is the brand of the stove/oven.

goto telmex.com. lower right corner is a CHAT icon. eventually a real person comes on. much better than whatsapps or the long d number

Thank you. I'll give it a try.

El Fagon de Charlotte was our favorite restaurant. We knew Carlos, Lori and Charlotte personally. I was absolutely stunned when I heard the news today. The Lakeside has lost its innocence and we can no longer say, THAT does not happen here. 

It´s next to restaurant Doña Fonda Lola on the west side of Ajijic, lakeside of the street.

Now now HoneyBee, it's not as bad as ALL that, lol.

Sculptors, artisans, naturists, sale of books, crafts, musicians and local producers.

Naturists are people who live life in the nude. Google The Naturist Society if you are not aware. Is there a group there promoting this way of living?

Kyle,

I have had crowns and bridges done by Dra. Candy and I have been very pleased with her work. If you have any problems, talk to her. She is very understanding and reasonable.

I just had a root canal done, by her oral surgeon, and she is going to put in an inlay. Current practice is not to put in a crown if possible but an inlay, Dra. Candy told me. I´ll have that work done on Nov 10th.

Does anyone have any recent experience with this facility?

We just came from there for lunch. Julio, the affable waiter, said that there specialty was the pork ribs, and that they would be ready from the smoker in 10 minutes. I ordered the ribs (400 grams) plate. I got four ribs thick with meat. The meat was tender and the sauce was minimally sweet, tangy and excellent. It came with sides of cole slaw and a small amount of fries. The slaw was ok, not bad nor excellent. My wife had the Cesar salad with chicken. The salad didn't come with chicken strips but with small chunks which my wife said made it easier to eat. Her opinion was that the salad was ok and that the dressing probably came from a bottle and was not freshly made.

My ribs plate was 185 pesos, as good tasting as the ribs were, Adelita's offer a better value with their half rack of ribs, although I like the Smoke House's BBQ sauce much better. My wife's salad was 95 pesos and would much preferred freshly made dressing.

The menu has an extensive listing of hamburgers for you burger fans. I never order a burger at a restaurant because as one "who does not cook", even I can make a hamburger. 

Julio, who was the waiter, is an older man and is very nice and speaks ingles well. We also met one of the owners who came out to check on us. He too was friendly and spoke ingles well.

The Smoke House is closed on Wednesdays and otherwise open from 12 to 7 pm.

We will go again and try a steak and a chicken dish.
