  1. Food Container is now closed and it appears Adelitas may soon follow. Never much cared for Adelitas as I was disappointed with the ribs everyone else raved over. (of course what do Canadians, know about ribs?) Much preferred Mario's when we were in the area. I was not aware of the history of Adelitas so thank you Carnivore. Restaurants must have an active hands on knowledgeable management to be successful and it is evident this is now lacking at Adelitas. As Ferret said there are a lot of good restaurants lakeside.

    Thanks for an excellent post. I hope others will follow your example!
  3. Several years back my wife returned from a trip to Germany and looked at our Mexican bank account. She said where is all the money. We got a copy of our bank statement and found every week two or three charges were being paid to a company in the USA. We protested the charges but the bank said it was charges I had made. The bank has a fraud unit in Mexico City and we appealed to them. They found the company in the USA was known for fraudulent charges and we got our money back. The main thing that saved us was we had paid for fraud insurance on our account. We are just lucky a bank officer in Mexico City had talked us into purchasing the fraud insurance. Bank was Santander. I believe the credit card information was stolen by an appliance store here lakeside.
  4. Don't know about now but at one time Walmart did not accept foreign credit cards, you had to go to the ATM, also store where I bought an appliance. I should have added clarity, many restaurants and stores do not accept any credit card. About half of the restaurants I go to want cash only.
  5. When I go to the states I always take pesos with me for when I come back. A new traveler, I think either the ATM or exchange window would be fine. You definitely want some pesos with you. Almost all the ATM's have an English option if you don't know Espanol and the exchange windows charge a high rate but your only talking about $100 or so you would exchange. Get additional monies at one of the exchange places in Chapala or Ajijic. A lot of the places here don't accept USA, Canadian or foreign credit cards.
  6. My wife is Mexican is reason she has INE card.
  7. Thank you for your info. We will be in Mexico City so was wondering. Wife has INE card and is senior. I think she received this discount last year. Your help is much appreciated.
  8. Does anyone know if the SIMAPA Discount is good both in January and February?
  9. After flying from USA at Christmas I got sick, January I went to Dr. and he send me for complete Lab work. It was found I had 2 covid's at the same time. Tested 2 weeks later and still had. Really sweating it but March when I needed to go back to the states I tested OK but not sure how good this test was.
  10. When I went to Garage the things I looked at were not priced and when I bought something it was always more than I expected. They could not compete with Pancho's and Hola Market put them out of business.
  11. I think the problem may be related to Telmex as we both had this wifi service.
  12. I appreciate reviews on restaurants both good and bad. The more details the better, and I think it is stupid I would have to pm someone to get the name of the restaurant. I have owned several restaurants and if I put out bad food, I deserved to be called out on it. If the pizza was bad from Adelitas doesn't mean all their food is bad but this is a heads up to be leery of the pizza which they are not known for.
  13. No more shots for me. I had both Pfizer shots and the booster and still got long time COVID.
  14. Had the same problem last night. Unpluged my fire cube and tried a few other things and finally got Netflix signal back but still couldn't use the selector which allows you to pick movies, TV, etc. I think it was wifi related but not sure.
  15. They don't have a tourist visa anymore. They simply stamp your passport. As for customs, everyone after getting stamped in country, fills out customs declaration for family and goes thru the same line (Mexican and foreigners) and hopefully gets a green light when you push the button.
