    Gas Prices in Puerto Penasco

    I have found the pumps I used at the Oxxo in Sonoyta to be fair, I figured I needed about 10 gallons to fill and it took 10.2 gallons. Unlike some of the pumps in Penasco where you get 80-90% of what the pump shows. Their exchange rate at the Oxxo was 18.9-1.

    Santo Coyote at Encántame Towers

    $16 burgers, Nope. Especially when you can get a 1/3lb cheeseburger with fries and a ice cold tap beer in a frozen mug for $7 at Ricky's Beer across from Sam's Club. The wings are also pretty good. Lot's of locals with a growing population of Americans too eating there. My local buddy told me...

    Made It to The Big Leagues

    Actually the wind mills aren't turning because the operators can't/won't sell the power produced cheaply as CFE sells it. You might see them start spinning again if there's a power shortage in Sonora.

    JJ"s Cantina to Change Owners, Remodel in January

    The food was hit or miss, sometimes just what you needed and cooked OK and then there were the times we wished we went elsewhere. In the last 15 years I have never eaten there in late May-mid Oct, But 5-15 years before that I just wanted tacos and beer even in July, so it didn't matter.

    A JJ's story!

    We drove by JJ's last week and they are still demoing stuff, the only progress on new stuff was adding a wall in front and a entrance arch? for a new front patio??? The outside taco stand had some of the open areas walled up. I would guess another 2-3 months to go. Cholla was much quieter...
