I know a dance fiend who used to go to Ochoa's Restaurant to eat and dance. He told me that Ochoa's closed down. I have no way of knowing if that info is correct or not.


Sorry, it is indeed closed and has been for the last couple of years.

Anyone who can walk into Kentucky Fried Buches for the 1st time and chow down with abandon has my vote of confidence.

Numbers to think about...

For your perspective use 10 pesos to a dollar for the starting point
10 100%
11.5 86.96%
12.5 80%
13.5 74.07%
13.9 71.94%

If it stays at 13.1 our family losses 23.66% of our value...


Thanks for the perspective, Tic-tahc.

If the peso is at say 12.80 as it is now, we who earn dollars get a 22% discount on goods and services at that 10-1 ratio  When you weigh the two, a peso swing upward can mean paying a few centavos more for gringos vs. survival for many Mexicanos and their families.
