  1. The cobbler just off north colon is very reliable unlike his hours definitely closed on Thursdays … and many times other days.. parking can also be challenging but he does excellent work7
  2. After leaving the house a little late to catch dinner at Lobo de Mar ( one of our favorites ) we decided to try Isa Vella……a relatively new Mediterranean style restaurant ( one block south of Guadalajara pharmacy) The restaurant is small , with about 10 tables , a pleasant courtyard set back from the road and 4 or 5 tables inside .Fresh cut flowers and cloth napkins along with comfortable chairs ..off to a good start. The menu is small but touches all bases with quite a few original items and is very reasonably priced. Shortly after being seated they brought a flat bread with hummus to snack on while we waited to order and receive our dinners. I ordered the mahi-mahi with pilaf rice and roasted vegetables, ..my fishwas perfectly cooked , my wife had the quinoa salad with fresh greens and roasted vegetables. Both were excellent Two of the best meals we have had at Lakeside recently The service was attentive and the server was friendly and knowledgeable…we’ll be back and soon .
  3. We have had a couple of good thin crust pizzas over the past month from M & J’s .They share a location with Popeyes Bar at the east end of the La Huerta shopping center just west of town ( Ajijic ). I pick up as it’s close to the house …but I do see delivery motorcycles parked outside.
  4. Lynda…we have been at the beach in Bucerias for the last couple of weeks …we should be home by the12th of Feb…please call…thanks …Ian
  5. Hi Linda…I was a friend of Boyd’s for the last 15 years….please call me at 334 302 9055…I can answer any questions you have .
  6. Sous Chef is a French term for second chef or “ under chef “ and has nothing to do with soup . Only bigger restaurants with a larger kitchen staff tend to employ Sous Chefs …this type of restaurant is obviously not prevalent Lakeside.
  7. I had a perfectly cooked whole red snapper last Friday…all four of us enjoyed our dinners …our second visit …the service was excellent and as carnivore mentioned the renovation was beautifully done . The menu prices etc are more than reasonable considering the overall experience . With Chef Eric at the helm I am sure consistency is pretty much assured . The restaurant choices in the area just seem to be getting better and better.
  8. We are in and out with a certain degree of regularity…your passport should be stamped at your airport of exit …we always get ours stamped in Guad even if we are leaving from Mex city it’s easier .No one at the airline desk has ever checked our passport for the exit stamp …it’s pretty much impossible with all our stamps to differentiate between one and another…..Your passport should have been stamped when you left PV….luckily there doesn’t seem to be any recriminations……previously with the white immigration form it was always suggested to highlight the form with a large permanente notification.
  9. We have met wonderful people here and continue to do so…..Every think ACD that it’s Probably you……
  10. Perhaps someone needs a new hobby….?
  11. Los Compadres is one of the few restaurants in town that has a professional Chef ( the owner )…If he decides to make pizza with his international experience it may be a just what we need . Although we eat at many restaurants I personally feel Teocintle and Los Compadres along with Casa Linda are way above the rest. Pancho tells me he’s going to put a major pizza oven in his west location so maybe…..
  12. I am curious colormeblue just where can these better pizzas be had…….please don’t mention Titas ,Casa del Rey or Serenata as none of them have a clue how to prove pizza dough… I would love a good pizza as even I don’t look forward to cooking in this heat . I believe josh is long gone.
  13. Yes, they are still in operation, just picked up a pizza on Thursday……located inside the bar at the east end of La Huerta plaza just west of Ajijic.Probably the best we’ve had since purple garlic moved to Chapala.
  14. On several flights we have taken in the last few weeks, we have noticed at least half a dozen passengers passing through TSA with their walking sticks . In fact, two passengers, seated close to us both had minor issues placing their sticks in the overhead bins . yes, the wheelchair services seem efficient and I have noticed they pass through TSA and immigration at a faster pace…. However,once you leave your destination airport, you are stickless… my advice take your stick and use the wheelchair service. arrive early as they seem to be in much higher demand .
  15. Real pleased to see Mario’s ( with Eric ) opening on Hidalgo in the village ( the newly renovated Amores ) plus a Mongolian bowl in west Ajijic…coming soon…just maybe good oriental food in Ajijic
  16. Ajijic tree service….have used them for years …great service..excellent cleanup and considerably less expensive…Francisco..333 452 9843 .
  17. As several posters mentioned above, this has been an Easter tradition, Lakeside… As I walked by this morning both bars and restaurants were being set up along with trampolines mini kayaks and flotation devices… Music playing , many people were fishing and kids were playing in the water. Large family groups were eating and drinking, having a good old time.. just wonderful to see people enjoying the lake.
  18. After years of treatment by Alta retina for my macular degeneration I have nothing but good things to say. Every diagnosis and treatment I have received was corroborated by one of the best eye clinics in the US . Alta retina has the same state of the art equipment as my clinic in Florida and I find Dr. Rios to be both professional and personable, he also speaks perfect English.
  19. Several months ago I was in line at the CI bank in the mall, as usual, only one of the ATMs appeared to be working. A little older lady appeared to be having some difficulty working the machine…. Eventually, she left the glass boot while attempting to deal with her cash, her wallet and purse. The next guy in line said…. They should have an ATM just for a little old ladies… she made eyeiContact with him and said maybe they should have one for ###….les as well …everyone in line laughed except….p
  20. I ‘m making a tropical fruit strudel for a dinner party …would like some kiwis for colour…anyone seen any lately ?…thanks.
  21. You are confusing, black rice with wild rice…. Black rice is an extremely nutritious rice found in Asia, of which there are several varieties that tend to be purpleish in colour
  22. Dostortas mentioned several that would have been on my list….we live up the mountain in Las Salvias which does get some noise from the village …not enough to bother us ,as one moves west Rancho del Oro ,Villa Nova and so forth tend to become quieter .Friends of ours live in upper and lower Chula Vista as well as parts of east La floresta they also are happy with the noise levels…l could go one but I am a slow typer and have a busy life so….
  23. Bought one yesterday at Walmart …. Not necessarily cheap two metres….1800pesos …. my daughter paid about the same in Florida over the weekend .
  24. Lakeside 7…at this rate Lakeside must be ranked as one of the most polluted noise & exhaust fumes areas……as compared with ? A master plan… one of many classical failures…...Probably one of the most ridiculous statements ..even on this web board . If things are so bad perhaps you shouldn’t be here .
