[QUOTE=The Hooligan]... went two doors down and tried a steak lunch at El Herradero. Great food and reasonably priced.[/QUOTE]
I never had the lunch time meal but I enjoy the way they let you actually choose which steak you want them to cook. Last time I was there, the waiter brought over two to choose from. I guess one can go to the display cabinet and pick one out.
Glad you enjoyed it and welcome back!
[QUOTE=Storm Rider #2]I asked this question in the Baja section several months back and never got a response. I moved from Juarez about 4 years ago and am considering buying land in La Paz in Baja. It is close to the beach and therefore subject to "land trust" laws. I always rented when living in Mexico before and I am looking for someone who has a little experience as a foreigner having land there. Just looking to see what kind of basic hurdles there are that I must jump. Some of you regulars live there I believe. Mugroso, maybe?[/QUOTE]
I personally don't know a thing but a friend got into a 99 year lease with an owner. He says thats the closest he could get to owning property in Mexico. Don't let this stop your plans, look into it. I'm sure there has to be a better way.
Remember the last time Americans bought property in Mexico. They called it Texas.

That's basically what a land trust is. It is a renewable 50 year lease. I know there are tons of gringos, rich mexicanos and other foreign nationals buying homes there under the program. Sounds like a good place for a home inspector who speaks the language and is about ready to retire. The only thing that concerns me is that is a pretty good haul to any decent mongering sites. I mean if I'm gonna have the time on my hands, I better have a way to enjoy it.
Ok, whoever posted the report several days ago on the bullfights was wrong. The bullfight is going to be held on Sunday April 8, 2007 starting at 5: 00 p. M. Sombra = $150 pesos y Sol $100 pesos. The event will be held at the downtown bullring off Francisco Villa. These events are typically held over holiday weekend and Easter Weekend is no exception. Thats all I know but there were posters hanging all over the downtown Malinche restaurant so its verified.
some people say laura's is great, others say the owner chito is a dirtbag who preys on women and controls them with drugs. maybe this article will shed some light on that. they caught another gringo ****, and he got his victim from laura's.

Hey guys,
I've been around in one of the other boards but could use help with a few basic questions. I'll be going back through some of the threads to catch up but.
Is there any spot you can get to in Juarez that's similiar to the Tijuana zone? I guess I'm looking for a one stop area where you can walk around and check things out. I thought I remembered a map in this thread that was sort of a description of the clubs, basic street names (as opposed to the google type map)? That may have been awhile ago.
Is there any good bars where you can meet some non-pro latina's, 30-40's, for conversation or more? I do speak a little Spanish so it's not a totally nutty idea!
I also thought I'd check out the central market for stuff. Just to see what's going on there. Any other interesting ideas are welcome.
Thanks for any help. I'll let you guys know what I find!
Ilovechicas

This is not to say that foreigners don't own land in Mexico in these areas or that US corporations don't have maquiladora plants in Juarez.
How you set this up is through a Lawyer “un Abogado”. He then sets up a trust in a local bank to hold your Deed, and it has to be renewed at some interval. I am not sure how often. It is not hard to do. The problem is that Title insurance in Mexico has a whole different meaning. They do not respect the rights of their own people let alone foreigners. I think it is relatively safe It would be bad for business if they stepped on the toes of the rich Gingos. But be careful of a regime change, It could happen. Look at Venezuela.

this is the 3rd pervert in what, 2 months time? i hope he isn't a poster on here or any other forum but if he is and if there are others like him on these forums, let this be a warning to you. the mexican people are no longer tolerating gringo ****s using their country as a playground to satisfy their perverted desires.
here is what will happen to a **** caught in a foreign country. you will be prosecuted and serve time in the host nation prison. when you finish your time (assuming you survive) you will be deported back to the united states and be prosecuted and serve time here.
on a side note guys, when we post warnings about possible **** keep in mind that a warning for us is an invitation for others. we must be responsible and keep such information out of the hands of ****s. mongers who post on these forums are just the tip of the iceberg. there are alot of lurkers out there who just gather information and and don't contribute and a small portion of them maybe ****s. don't make their crimes easy and do the world a service and report any suspicious activties to the authorities. you could be doing a child a favor.

when i saw that on the afternoon news, with their description of "... in an area where money and drugs are traded for sex", the first thing i thought of was laura's.
one would think with chito's recent short-term incarceration and closure, he would be a little wiser about who he "employs"...

one could call that double prosecution, however, the crime itself is prosecuted in mexico, then under a seperate us law, just traveling to a foriegn country, for the purpose of engaging in sex with a minor, is a crime.
it has been posted here, and other places, that anything, and i mean anything, was available through chito at lauras. maybe this will help put an end to that.

That would be me. I was only repeating what the employee of the place that sells tickets (Club Kentucky) and hangs posters (which were shown to me prior to hanging) told me about it being the 22nd (which was printed) ...
I thought I was told in the past that the season usually opened on Easter weekend but didn't think about when I saw the 22nd. Perhaps that's the first week of their (Kentucky) involvement?
But the fact remains - they ARE back and at the old ring. Now I can finally get to see one!
Hey no problem! I appologize for the tone of my e-mail. I've found that when I ask people in Juarez where or when something is, in my limited Spanish, many residents are not too well informed. I should have known that the date was suspect because they do seem to schedule these events over holiday weekends. Yes the critical thing is that there will be a season this year and because they are accessible to tourists they will be well attended.
Bring your binoculars, Cinegas32, for the fresas in the front rows!!!

Well, I guess I'm boned then. ;^) Naw, I knew that the inaugural event has always been Easter Sunday, but I thought with the change of venue there might have been some sort of "delay". I would really like to plan a trip to coincide with a bullfight though, so anyone who can dredge up a copy of the [i]Temporada[/i] for the season and post it, it would be appreciated.
Hey, why use binocs, just fork over the pesos for a seat in the first row and sit right next to the Fresas, that's what I do. :-)
[QUOTE=The Hooligan]With Good Friday on April 6 and Easter Sunday on April 8, do any of you fellow mongers know if the massage parlors and centro clubs will be open at all this weekend?[/QUOTE]
Hunting on [i]Pascua[/i] is hit and miss. Some MPs will be open, but as I recall things in the Zona are REAL slow. Remeber, Mexico is a Catholic country and they take Easter much more seriously than it is taken in the US. You won't see very many Easter Bunnies and Easter Sale-a-brations down there.
[QUOTE=Bbond]I could not get an answer from anyone at the VM, no-one knew for sure.
One guy said he thought it was heart attack, but was not sure of that.[/QUOTE]
I made some inquiries and found out it was stomach cancer. A heart attack would have been better, at least it's quick. RIP.
