ROBERTO'S Restaurant Review in Ajijic - A Different Perspective

Couple of thoughts on that reveiw, John:
First, that twofer for Thursday and Friday nights turned into a nightmare in the kitchen because of the huge (and largely unexpected ) crowd that showed up. Not surprisingly, the food got shortchanged in the process. I think the offer was a bad idea, especially since Bobby wasn't there to supervise the kitchen himself and the new jefe is still getting his feet wet.

Roberto has been trying to break in a new potential owner/chef.....Omar. He's a young man and this is probably his first attempt to run a restaurant. It was probably more than he can handle at this point, though it's obvious that he's trying.

Roberto himself wants and needs to retire to his condo at the beach. He's no spring chicken and since he fell of the roof, he's been in serious pain. Who can blame him for trying to turn over the work at this point?

However, I also agree that things are slipping since he's not around. Too bad, but there it is. Maybe Omar will get on top of the problem and things will go back to the very nice dining option it was under Bobby's direction. Maybe not.
Time will tell. We may go back on a "normal" evening when it isn't so busy and report our experience.
