    Best border crossing between Peñasco and California?

    We're planning a trip to Los Angeles in the next few weeks. We'll be leaving mid-week. Google is having us cross at Mexicali / Calexico. It appears that crossing at Lukeville is out of the way. But would it be better overall given the border crossing times? Is there a better route in terms...

    Dr. Grijalva

    Does anyone know if Dr. Ernesto Grijalva is still practicing dentistry in Peñasco? I never see any cars in the parking lot (at the random times I drive by). When I call, it rings several times and then asks me to enter an access code. Perhaps he is closed for the pandemic? He's still...

    On-line Deliveries to Peñasco

    Yes, it does work. I've been meaning to try this for years & finally did. Last Thursday I ordered something small from Amazon and it arrived by DHL today. They even delivered to my door in Las Conchas. Amazon sent a tracking number (just like always) and the package was sent to Hermosillo...

    RV Insurance

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a good RV insurance company that will also provide comprehensive coverage in Mexico? (Liability goes with the tow vehicle.) We have a fifth wheel that we have insured through National General for years. The things I like about them are that it is actually...

    Driving in Arizona with Sonoran plates

    Just curious -- We'll be renting a car from Bufalo and then driving it to the Phoenix airport to pick up friends. We're used to crossing the border & going through the AZ checkpoints, but have never done it with Sonoran license plates. Is there anything we should know about? I'm guessing...

    Cataract surgery in Peñasco?

    I have a friend who wants to visit us while we are in Peñasco, but he needs to have cataract surgery. He is self-employed and doesn't have health insurance. I figured if he could get it here, it might save him some $$. Does anyone know of any reputable place to have that done here? Or...

    How important is the expiration date on heartworm Rx?

    I just found an old box of Tri-Heart Plus for dogs 26 - 50 lbs. But it shows an expiration date of Sept 2010. Should I throw them away or can any of the animal charities use them? (I can bring them down next month.) In general, I take expiration dates with a small grain of salt. But this is...

    Crescent rolls

    Do y'all know of any store around Peñasco that sells Pillsbury (or any other brand) crescent rolls in tubes? Well, I guess they don't have to come in a tube. Just crescent roll dough that can make a 9" x 13" flat rectangle. Thanks!

    Portable A/C at Coppel

    When we were at Coppel last week, we saw they had a DeLonghi Penquino portable A/C. There was no price sign for it. We figured we'd check it out online, but couldn't find it on their website (perhaps we just looked in the wrong place). Does anyone know their price? Also does anyone know...

    Crossing with generator multiple times

    We have a generator permanently mounted in the back of our truck for our RV. Sometimes we come here with the RV, sometimes in just the truck (and sometimes by car). When we cross with the RV, nobody cares about the generator. The last time we came with the truck and no RV, one inspector said...

    Rx help

    Just wondering if anyone knows how much it costs to buy Lipitor or the generic equivalent in Puerto Peñasco? The doctor just changed my husband's medication from generic Zocor to generic Lipitor. He could get the 1st one for $17 per month, but this new one costs over $100 per month. (Our...

    Pay TelMex bill online with US credit card?

    We are using a bill paying service, but I noticed our TelMex bill has not yet been paid. When I log into my TelMex account, I see where you can pay your bill by credit card. Can this be done with a US credit card? It says they accept Visa, MasterCard & AmEx. It gives me an option of...

    Solar options

    We own a house in Las Conchas and are considering solar options. What is available in Peñasco? Should we consider options only to help with air conditioning / heating or are there reasonably priced options for the whole house? Are there neighborhood restrictions that would keep us from doing...
