Mainecoons Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Our hands down favorite for breakfast is closing April 1 and the future is unclear? I am shocked. This place has been there so long it is an institution!. Both the Mexican and expat communities pack the place for breakfast on the weekends. IMO hands down the best value for good old straight ahead U.S. style artery clogging breakfast in town. What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 It has to do with Jorge and some major changes in his life, but nothing is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Besides a reliable good place for breakfasts , or a meeting places for many groups, etc...... The Canadian and American Thanksgiving buffets and Christmas meals will be totally missed . They were the place to go for these holidays.. excellent food at reasonable prices. Sadly, the close of an era .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pappysmarket Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Yes, ditto. I was once invited there for breakfast by a chap who had stayed at our BnB. He told me several guys ate there every morning at what they called The Table of Knowledge, seriously! It was pitched to me that it was a great honor to be invited. After making excuses several times I finally had to go and see for myself. You're right, they were much smarter than I and I was never invited back. I hope it wasn't anything I said!

RVGRINGO Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Salvador‘s was Jorge‘s, while Doña Lola is Salvador‘s to this day. Posted just to confuse newbies and several others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Ah, but to make it even better, Salvador's was originally Salvador's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I understand that the restaurant was named after Salvador's and Jorge's father who was also called Salvador. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 So; to recap: Salvador had Jorge and Salvador, two sons who split up, and Jorge ended up with Salvador‘s, all by himself, while Salvador opened Doña Lola, where he still serves diners every day, but without the “table of knowledge“. There! Now all the newbies have a clear understanding of the situation, while some of us oldies may have been lost in the mists of time and change. Oh well........

johanson Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 right on RVGRINGO. There are now two tables of knowledge at Salvador's. each is planning on a new spot to meet. They are still in the planning stage so they are still discussing possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Pete, Let me know where the one I know of will be meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Will do. I believe it may be the Sunrise Cafe in San Antonio,. And on Mondays when Sunrise is closed, perhaps Salvador's "Don~a Lola" restaurant in West Ajijic. But the folks are still talking about where to go.

zerbit Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Maybe I'm the only one who won't miss it. Underwhelming food and cranky clientele. Table of Knowledge? LOL, almost as bad as the folks who fancy themselves the "A list" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 I first ran across this title (TABLE OF KNOWLEDGE) 15 or so years ago. There were often two different groups having breakfast at about the same time at Salvador's. And it had to do with one group teasing the other group about being the table of knowledge. It became a big joke. And it had more to do with the fact that if we had enough people at a table, the chances were greater that someone at the table might have the answer to the question being asked by a newbie. Over the years sometimes we would all sit together or if the table set up didn't make that possible there would be two tables. These days because of the death of a few, more folks sit at one of the tables than the other. But we are all friends and are sad that Salvador's is closing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Sounds reasonable. That's about the time I went for the first and only time. That day it was strictly about US politics and the Grand PooBah, whoever he was, dispensed knowledge and the "followers" muttered something I didn't quite catch at the time, but now believe it was "Dilly Dilly".

Whenever you see a table of expats and hear screeching and heehawing so loud that you can't carry on your own conversation.........you've found one. Dilly dilly.
