Susy Wilson Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Wondering if anyone can tell me where I might find some Mexican style dinnerware? I know I can buy dishes at Walmart but I would sure prefer not to. I know beautiful pottery dishware will be more expensive but that is fine with me:-) Is that something I could find if I went to Tonala or Talquepaque or is there any where lakeside I could find something like this?

El congrejo Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Great store across from Chapala City Hall. A few doors north of the church 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Agree on shop in Chapala, but also look at Talavera Shop in SAT that is across from Panino's; he has full dish sets as well as unique serving dishes, and odds and ends like coffee cups, s&p shakers, butter dishes, lots of one-offs. Wonderful owner, Poncho. This is the shop east of Super Lake (there is another one west of Super Lake but we found them much higher priced on same/similar items.

Willie Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Ana Romo makes lovely dishes...expensive but handmade and exquisite. She has a shop in San Antonio beside the sign company near the new hospital. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshineyday? Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Maybe a trip to Tonala would be worthwhile? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafterbr Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 We bought ours at the shop east of Superlake. Good prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisbee Gal Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 FYI, both the local shops can order whatever you want from Delores Hidalgo as that is where their stock comes from. We went to DH twice but frankly the stores are a little pushy to make a sale. The mark-up at Poncho's shop is very reasonable and saves a trip if you aren't interested in the drive. It's a 4 1/2 hour drive to DH, by the way. Years ago the Chapala shop had a catalog to order from. Not sure if Poncho does, but if you find a pattern on the internet that you like, take a picture/website and he will find it in DH for you. He got a hand-painted mural made for us in DH, based on a photo we gave him of a piece of art. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelB Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Be prepared to pay " Gringo Tax " if purchased Lakeside. Everything here cost so much more. Because everyone sees the gringos as walking money bags. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they ran around and changed all the tags when I walked through the door, no "Gringo tax". Maybe just for you. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susy Wilson Posted September 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 I purchased some lovely stuff at the shop in Chapala across from the city hall. Very happy with it and the price seemed reasonable for the work to me:-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunFan Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 We've had a set of twelve settings for six years that we've been warehousing in our china cabinet. They're from Tonala with the classic beige background and a green cactus and mother and young child depicted. They are not talavera. PM me if interested.

moonhill Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 I've used the one in chapala for many years. Not only are they good quality, but many of their patterns are kept continuously in stock in case you need a replacement or decide to add a unique dish to your collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
