  1. Last Thursday we fed 180 hungry people in Santa Cruz east of Chapala. Tomorrow, Wednesday, we begin cooking for 200, same hungry village. Next week a different village. There are so many hungry people out there...
    A billion thanks to all those who are helping.. We have 4 volunteers in the kitchen at Bobby's la Terraza this Wednesday aside from my incredible staff...plus Mr Bill King is paying for the ingredients this week and helping to transport it and serve..
    Many thanks to all out there who are helping us feed the hungry along with the many other groups who are doing the same or similar..
    when was the last time you were hungry or had nothing for your family to eat? We must help these people

  4. As we start today another week of Home Delivery. I wanted to share this lovely review we just got on our tripadvisor page. Thank you for the love!

    THE BEST OF MEALS IN THE WORST OF TIMES

    "Tonight we decided to order a few dinners and several liters of soup from Bobby’s. Oh how glad we are that we did! I have been doing a lot of cooking with the quarantine and we decided we wanted some of Bobby’s lovely dinners. Since we were ordering we ordered several extra meals, to minimize contact with their delivery person. Abraham took all precautions so we felt quite safe and our dinners were just as wonderful as we have grown to expect from Chef Bobby. Tonight we decided to eat the Lemon Shrimp and the Zucchini Parmesan for our dinners. In the picture I took, I did not show the lovely soup that accompanied our meals. We bought a liter of each of the 8 soups Bobby makes to put in the freezer. We will be well served for quite a while!

    The zucchini was crisp and flavorful and the accompanying pasta in a spinach cream sauce was so fresh and flavorful. With all the spinach it tasted healthy while also being decadent. My husband had the Lemon Shrimp. He said that the natural sweetness of the large, meaty shrimp in the beautiful cream sauce was well balanced by the brightness of the goat cheese, the artichokes and the black olives. He pronounced the combination as “divine.” Bobby’s signature corn bread was a wonderful accompaniment.

    Do not hesitate to place an order for delivery with Bobby. This is one of the restaurants which deserves to weather this crisis. Our dinner was top notch and we are looking forward to trying the other meals and the other soups we ordered."

  6. UPDATE:
    we have found a way to accommodate credit card sales. I know a lot of you are having a problem with long lines at ATMs and banks closed. So yesterday we tested a work around. As I mentioned our credit card processor only allows us to use physic
    al cards not on line manual entry of credit card numbers. If you want to use your credit card here is how we can accommodate you:

    1/ When you place your order you need to give us your wifi password.
    2/ when we deliver at your home we will connect to your wifi. 3/ You need to give us your card (some yesterday slid it under the door)
    4/ we can then process the card and slide it back under the door to you (or if you are comfortable with face to face delivery hand it back to you as we do at the restaurant).

    The cash system has Abraham not touching cash (it is all in envelopes) this system requires him to wear gloves to touch your card - which he then replaces with fresh ones before dealing with another delivery. We tested this with customers yesterday and so can offer it as an alternative IF you wish.

    Just trying to make this as easy as we can for you all.

    Again I recommend you ordering several meals at a time. All meals and soups are freezable and designed to be reheated.

    Please stay safe we will get thru this together

  7. Tomorrow we will be opening for another week of Home Delivery Service (we are offering delivery service Wed - Sat). Here are this weeks menus. Thank again for your support , both my staff and I appreciate it. We understand you have many food options here lakeside and we are proud and grateful that you choose us. It is lovely to see regular customers and many customers ordering food for several days (especially our immune boosting soups) to minimize their exposure to delivery people. Our goal is for us all to come through this difficult time together907597564_homemenu4_15.jpg.2ab6ea9b0a698c5b0f59bc71d289c842.jpg

  8. Thank you all for the support this Easter. I ended up accommodating more than I had originally planned (I find it so hard to say no to loyal customers who I count as friends). We worked hard to keep our delivery timetable. For any of you who's deliveries were later than planned; thank you for your understanding. Again both my staff and I appreciate your support

  9. Back in the kitchen, and gearing up for another week of delivery service. This week as well as Wed thru Sat delivery we are serving you for Easter Sunday.

    This will not be the Easter we have all enjoyed in other years. Everyone's world has been turned on it's head and we are all concerned about our health and safety as we daily hear reports of the increasing death toll across the planet. I encourage all of you to stay safe and follow our National Health Authority's recommendations to stay home. The people to listen to are doctors and scientists not just the politicians who are often 5 steps behind in enforcing or enacting rules we need in place.

    SOOOO climbing down from my soapbox let me explain how this Easter Sunday will work at Bobby's. I understand as a chef and restaurateur of over 45 years that we can not properly serve the number of customers in delivery we could serve in our dining room. So I am limiting myself to ONLY 40 orders AND ONLY by pre-order. I will accept these order up to Friday only. So l ask you please to place your order as soon as possible. Obviously it will be first come first serve. Early orders are much more likely to be able to have the entree AND the delivery time they prefer.

    As always I appreciate your support and understanding. Easter is a time of Hope and I look forward to the future when this storm passes serving many of you again in the way we had been accustomed

  10. After a lot of careful consideration I have decided that I will be offering Easter Dinner this coming Sunday as a delivery only option. I will be posting details on a separate thread. Because of logistics for delivery it will by pre-order ONLY with a limited number of servings.

    We are only taking only 40 orders.. Orders taken no later than Friday.
     
    Please place your orders early as of course the early orders will have more options on delivery times.
     
    I thank each of you for your understanding and support. Easter is a time of hope. We will get thru this very difficult time together with better days ahead. THIS is not a time to relax our distancing practices. Stay safe. Stay at home. REMEMBER "April Distance Means May Existence"

We are reacting day to day with government guidelines and can NOT predict how long we will be permitted to provide services as things progress and the pandemic becomes more serious

  12. Thank you all for your support! Yesterday was our first day offering our DELIVERY ONLY service. I was happy to see that many are making use of the Immune Boosting Soups (some ordering a variety of them in Liter sizes (as well as some yummy desserts). Of course we will not know from day to day how things might change Lakeside but I will continue to provide you with delicious healthy food as long as I am allowed to. It was also wonderful yesterday to speak on the phone with many of my favorite customers as well as some new friends

  13. My role as a chef and a restaurant owner is a difficult one right now as we all struggle to strike a balance and be socially responsible during this global pandemic. I have a clear responsibility to my employees who look to me to help them earn a living to support their families; many of these employees have been with me for many years. I also feel a responsibility to my customers many of whom are friends (and many of whom do not cook). AND as a chef I know the importance of eating nutritional balanced healthy food (we are NOT going to keep our immune systems up by consuming a steady diet of ramin noodles and mac n cheese.

    SOOOOO I have taken this last week - paid my employees to stay at home (except for a few staff meetings in which I have asked to their input) and been crafting some guidelines, menus and a business plan.

    Although my ad in the Guad Reporter this week says I will offer take out orders. I have decided NOT to include that service. In my opinion it encourages customers to not stay at home and my goal is to keep you all safe and I am in full support of the recent statement from the Mexican Health Authority for everyone to stay at home.

    Currently I WILL be providing delivery service starting Wednesday April 1st. Details are in the following attachment. 100% of the fee for delivery goes to employees in an effort to help them survive this situation1612950243_DeliveryHoursApril2020.jpg.98a7a49aab8e1e6d5f2928d17f759297.jpg
