@brokenwave Yeah tell me about it- my wife is groaning that I'm ruining her diet while simultaneously asking if they have banana bread haha. She's Mexican and I asked her about the difference between Bolillos and Birotes (which I mentioned in my post- you can get them with or w/o cheese inside)-...

Here are a few pics from inside the store..

Hey Gang- was down in RP for the 1st time in 7 months with the wife and new baby boy. Had a great time and wanted to give a quick shout out to the Cornejo Panaderia (Bakery). We discovered this place on out last trip and have gotten hooked on their breads, doughnuts, and sweets. Almost every...

http://www.satechi.net/index.php/wireless-multifunction-mini-router-repeater-access-point-client-bridge I have this little guy in my condo to convert wired internet into wireless in my unit. But it also works as a repeater- i.e. take a WiFi signal and re-amplify it. It DOES require a laptop to...

I live in Nogales, AZ and know both the USA and Mexico routes well. Strictly timewise, from Nogales its about a wash- I can make it in ~4hrs going either way. So depending where someone lives in Tucson, its probably faster to go via USA but its not a huge difference. Jerry is definitely right...

Thanks Jerry- I am headed down Monday from Nogales. Its about 4 hours either way whether I go through Mexico (SantaAna-Altar-Caborca-Y) or through the US (Tucson-Why-Lukeville). I had been on the fence because the US drive down 86 is SOOOO boring. If during daytime hours, I like the Mexico drive...

Now that I thought about it again, you are totally right Mis- what I said was right I think as far as the taxes on rental income, but the IVA is essentially just the sales tax the renter pays so it all goes straight to SAT (assuming the rental company is 100% honest- that's another story haha)...

This thread now makes me want to investigate more thoroughly. In my case with RPR, they subcontracted an accounting firm to handle compliance with the new tax laws- so it is my understanding that between RPR & the accountants, they will make tax calculations & payments to SAT on my behalf. But...

And yes I believe that the IVA goes to SAT but Im not sure exactly how (or how often) payment is made Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Mis- I'm not sure if this helps at all (prolly not), but Im with RPR, and although the monthly accounting rate they originally started with was $100 per month, after 'reassessing' it was reduced to $50. Prior to the tax changes, it had been $20/month. So at this point, it is a $30/month...

I live in Nogales and Monsoon season started on Wednesday. Like clockwork, every year the rains come at this time last for 6-8 weeks. Im not aware that RP sees the same phenomenon- I'm assuming not? (at least not to the same degree? In NOG there are absolute downpours that can happen for days in...

Hello, I'm bringing some used dining chairs down to RP in a few weeks and would like to reupholster them. I am also bringing new bar stools that are have an off-white PU/faux leather cover, and i'd like to upholster the chairs in a similar way if possible. This thread is a but old, are any of...

Fidelity doesn't take anything out. I forgot to mention it the previous posts, but they also give you a pretty good exchange rate as well. Its pretty much right at the "world" market price.

I've lived and worked in Nogales for over ten years now and I'm very amused by and sense of indignity/shock/outrage/disbelief over any kind of 'irregularities' that might be going on in a public works project in Mexico. Ask ANY Mexican about what really happens when the gov't builds a bridge or...

http://content.schwab.com/m/q310/schwab_bank_high_yield_investor_checking/ELC44427C-02.html It appears that a brokerage acct is required in order to open the checking acct, but that the brokerage acct has no minimum balance (read 'fine print' item 4)- I'm not sure why this is. I haven't had my...

I had Schwab for a long time and it worked like a charm for ATM rebates in Mexico. I later switched to Fidelity (just because I had other accounts with them) and they offer the same thing for their debit card. Its great in Mexico and even works at the few dollar based ATMs. i took out 80 US$...

I've seen pics from it posted on the forum and elsewhere and would love to get a new or used copy. Any insight?

Does anyone know if this hot sauce is still available anywhere? I picked one up at the Tequila Factory last year and liked it. But last time I went they said they didn't have it anymore?

Ah, I still remember my first taste of bacanora.... It was introduced in the same classic way it has been in subsequent experiences. If the party goes long enough, the beer starts to run out, and the switch is made to hard liquor (usually tequila or whiskey). Then, if the party KEEPS going, the...

I haven't taken many cabs in Penasco but live in Nogales so am familiar with rough distances and taxi prices in Mexico. From Malecon to the SKY- I'd think 100 pesos (~8 bucks) is decent- 12 bucks is a bit high but not outrageous. I'm not sure exactly where Shots is but I'd assume Calle 13 area...
