Breast cancer is a horrible thing. Wearing my pink ribbon today for all the chickens of RP.

I really don't understand any of this...I am in Mexico, I pay in pesos, period. Can I drive across the border and use pesos at McDonald's or even Taco Bell? Of course not, I am not paying for anything in Mexico via dollars. Those who do are only hurting themselves. I won't do business with any...

You are much better off buying it in the states and then bringing it down and hope to avoid the tax on it. I bought a 32 inch LG LED 1080 last christmas at my Sam's Club in Coahuila and the price in pesos was around $900.00 USD. The same television can be purchased in the U.S. for about $500.00...

Responsible owners who rent should pay taxes and impact fees even if they are not listed separately with the rental price. I think the OP is trying to avoid the bait and switch that is common with Seaside and other property management or rental firms where they quote one price only to find the...

To put this in a nice way, maybe this was a good thing! I could not agree more with your above statement. I have lived in Mexico for 7 years. I moved from the interior of Mexico to Rocky Point in January. I was shocked to see what this place has become. I have a very different take on things not...

Thanks for your understanding, I appreciate that we can have a different opinion on the matter. From what I understand, Liane has packed-up and left town.

Again, the purpose of my commentary is not to tear Hector apart nor is it to argue with you. I am simply giving full disclosure to those who may consider the option of using Burrito Express. I make the statement knowing full-well that others may have had excellent service. I believe things...

As Hector is in business to make a profit, I am fine with fees that are disclosed in advance that will allow me to make an informed decision. Undisclosed fees and charges for taxes that were never paid (which I have confirmed with the small imports office, why he was unable to give receipts) is...

My wife/husband will be performing (kidding)

I found a simple solution. I went to the HOA and asked for permission prior to moving in (got it in writing as well). I have four dogs and we found it was not a problem. Everything in life is negotiable. Out of curiosity, how many of these various HOA's have been caught with their hands in the...

I have a feeling I got the "rich gringo" price. I understand the tax, but when I asked for receipts it was clear that the majority of the "tax" I paid did not go to the authority. Not the end of the world, just thought it was best for someone to have a different opinion when considering options.

For full disclosure...the pricing at Burrito Express changes on a whim...the real pricing is; Monthly fee $30.00 Street address fee: $10.00 (for items that can't be delivered to the post office box) Customs fee: 16% of item (I been charged on the full amount including tax and shipping charges)...

Cab rides in town are $20.00 Pesos per person. Sandy Beach is a different story and it is considered a tourist zone and you will always pay the gringo rate which suddenly becomes $20.00 per person. Taxis are great for when you are staing in town, I would not consider them an option to go or come...

I have been there twice. While it was not what we expected (I was wishing for a pulled pork sandwich dripping in sauce) it was good. The beef sandwich was a thin strip of meat on your choice of bread (garlic, onion, etc) similar to the selection of bread at a Subway. I have also had the beef...

Having lived in central Mexico for the last seven years, I can tell you this is how business is done in Mexico. Good luck getting anything approved or built without bribes.

I am seeking a Rhino or similar type off-road vehicle to purchase. I am seeking something with a steering wheel, not a regular ATV. Please message me with details. Thank you.

My wife dog-sits. Send me a private message and I will gladly forward our phone numbers.

The company building the theater has one in Torreon that I have been to a few times. They do not have the VIP theater like Cinemex or Cinepolis so I did not go to their chain often. Assuming prices are the same, they are about $35.00-$50.00 pesos for a standard movie (based on time of day)...

It is impossible for a sitting president to "abuse" his Secret Service protection. Protection is not a choice for the president, it is required by law. Do we really want to live in a country where the president’s children are not protected? I can only imagine the breakdown in the decision making...
