Mountainside, a short distance west of the Smokehouse restaurant and the Tuesday Market venue.

You're thinking of Fresh Market. While nice shops, they don't specialize in Costco products. Then again, Hola Market doesn't carry much in the way of produce. I like them all.
-
It is so filthy that I can't imagine anyone eating food prepared there.
-
They are not. A trip to San Diego via Tijuana is your best bet if you feel you need one.

Our house cleaner washes her family's clothes by hand for two reasons- the cost of electricity and the amount of water necessary to wash by machine vs by hand. Our NOB ways don't always work well here. This is one of them. A bigger stove would probably be a far more helpful gift.

I have never been asked for my card at Walmart, but always get the discount. The one time I used CHOPO (not a positive experience and discount or no, I wouldn't go back again) they didn't mention the option. We did get discounts on our DL.
-
With bus tickets, there are a small number of discounted seats on each bus. Every time I have tried to use my Inapam card for bus tickets I have found all the discounted seats already sold. We haven't saved enough in 6-years to justify the hassles we went through to get our cards.

3-4 weeks isn't long in the life of a tree and Chapala Tree Service is worth waiting for. Make your appointment.

Nope. -
I don't think speaking English is a prerequisite for repairing a refrigerator.

Especially when they state "in another Mexican location". -

At that point, I would cancel the transaction and move on. -
Easter hordes invading Lakside

Not so much anymore and if the current trend based on this administration continues, the lack of infrastructure....thinking water in particular, is going to create megaproblems. -
Large fire on mtn behind Chapala Haciendas 3

Tell that to the fauna that died on the mountain. -
I can't recommend them if they are in business. Dad was good, next generation is not.

Your best bet is Farmacia Mascaras in Riberas. Ivan goes to Guadalajara regularly to get meds not always available locally.

Current renovation contractor recommendations
chapalence replied to 2Expats's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
Avoid, avoid, avoid Enrique Hernandez, AKA Chavaria Enrique, Kiki Hernandez, or others. Every time he screws another expat he changes his AKA. Short, chubby, speaks English, and is a slick snake who grossly overcharges. Doesn't pay workers, doesn't abide by the law, and has NO scrupples. -

The last word was no.

The limit per transaction at HSBC $15,000. I usually get that and it is almost always in all $500 notes, but occasionally they give a thousand or two in smaller bills.

Experience with SAT office in GDL, recently?
chapalence replied to thevalerieleigh's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
I can't tell you the name, but if you turn towards the lake on the road beside Sunrise Restaurant and go down to Raman Corona, then turn right, it's a block or two down on the right hand side. It's a very small place on the corner. -
