Natasha Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Anyone wanna' bet Mario's will outlast them all? Jaime Sr. and most of family in original SAT location. Eric ( eldest son) recently opened "Mario's 2" in Ajijic...... geared to those who love how this family treats you, but a little more upscale and with longer hours to have a slightly broader appeal overall.

Many years ago when I first visited I thought it was a cafe and served very greasy food, I would not have classified it as a restaurant 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickS Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 That pretty much tells you that I rarely have eaten there... and obviously am not very observant walking down Colon/Morelos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO It's a little early to worry about Thanksgiving. However, if you read the article it states they are closing end of year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are moving out of the area soon and I doubt you will make the trip from Monterey to go to Manix. However, maybe you will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryB Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Manix is ready to continue its' dedicated service to the community! They are currently doing special events and catering as the WOW value is being added to the new venue. I.E. Valentines Day at a private elegant Ajijic Hacienda ( almost sold out in 48 hours), fund raiser for the Ranch, special events and catering. This is a long standing family business and needs your support especially now. Thanks for all you can do. Why aren't we giving out the address? It is a construction site and not safe for visitors. When it is safe, rest assured all friends will be welcomed to tour. Special events are already being planned for friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, a little to the east of that I think. Yes, Bobby's old place would be nice. I also loved that place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
