rafterbr Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 I am curious how everyone rated their Thanksgiving dinners. My favorite place to eat is Cocinart and I am sure I am in the small minority but I found their Thanksgiving meal to be lacking. I did not even eat half of it but my wife cleaned her plate. They advertised corn bread and mashed potato's but their was no corn bread and the potato's were puree. The sweet potato's were puree with no flavor and the bread dressing left a lot to desire. Service was also very slow as they did not have enough waiters. It was a buffet type but we were forever getting our salad and drinks. My next Thanksgiving will be elsewhere and now I wonder about Cristmas Dinner. Suggestions would be helpful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slainte39 Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Smoke House in Rancho del Oro, Ajijic The best Thanksgiving dinner I have had at a restaurant here after many years and 10´s of TG dinners out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Panino's Restaurant has the best and least expensive Thanksgiving Dinner, in our opinion. We have paid a lot more and gone to several different restaurants over the years but Panino's is hands down the best. The only problem is there are no reservations allowed. This year I had come down with the shingles so we picked up and ate at home which was really nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Panino's serves turkey every week. Is there Thanksgiving serving any different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 We too went to Panino's Restaurant. I was given a plate full of great food. It was the less than $200 pesos and more than I could eat. I shall definitely return for future Thanksgiving dinners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafterbr Posted December 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 We paid $350 peso's each plus drinks for less than satisfactory dinner at Cocinart. Only recently ate at Panino's, had an excellent chicken fried steak there last week. Will be eating at Panino's more often and find out what the daily specials are. Turkey sounds good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringohombre Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 5 of us had a great Thanksgiving lunch at Sunrise in SAT...great turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potato, peas and corn and a very nice piece of pumpkin pie...all for $195. Everyone was very satisfied and happy with both the food and excellent service. Over the years I have seen that many restaurants here try to take advantage of the expat holidays and raise prices to exorbitant rates just because they think we will have no choice. Well maybe if we avoid those and patronize only who offer us fair prices for good authentic offerings will things change 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kam Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 We are slothful beings, fond of lounging in our at home attire. Thus, Elegante's "Taste of Thanksgiving" take out was perfect for us. An ample well-prepared meal - turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, roll, green beans. $150. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything they serve on Wednesdays plus mashed sweet potatoes and green beans with bacon instead of peas. Very good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
