Love Ley’s! Lived a few blocks away last winter and will be back this coming winter. It’s always a fun experience shopping there. I hope your readers will give it a try rather than heading out to the more anglicized Costco, Walmart and Soriana.

OMG! This was so funny, BTW they say “quiere queso” as in do you want cheese? Anyway, this was so good and I hope the summer is treading you nicely. I’m looking forward for you to try the fish market or Emiliano Zapata market (very Mexican too) I’m sure you will be amused and in the end you will love it! Welcome to Puerto Valalrta { alittle late I know}

Love your articles! I died laughing about Leys. I’ve been in many Mexican supermarkets and always go back to Leys just for the entertainment value. How can you not love the Mexicans?? I just discovered your blog today as I’ve been researching local PV online websites etc… WE are coming to PV in a few weeks for a vacation. We aren’t near retirement yet, but are visiting different areas of Mexico now to figure out what “vibe” we like best. Your experiences will help us a lot I think. Keep em coming eh!!

Thank you …Mexico News Daily is reprinting theses columns every Saturday if you wish to catch up. I am taking a rest for the moment as far as writing is concerned but I will return in the autumn.

I love your articles! They make me laugh out loud. Thank you for writing and please continue. My husband and I just moved here from the US. I hope that one day we will meet you and your wife and can treat you both to the adult beverage of your choice. Thanks for brightening our transition to the city we love!

bunch of crap…however, i agree with mary ellen, i won’t go into Ley’s here in Ensenada. When they first opened…AWESOME… a few months later, the smell of rotten fish drove me out of the store and have not been back since. and i would not step foot in Walmart. because i DO shop locally as much as possible!
Mary Ellen
I agree with the drinking comment. There are many many expats there in Baja and don’t maintain a productive lifestyle so they resort to drinking out of boredom esp. if one lives in those expat enclaves. Here in Baja Norte Ley stores are the last store most of us would shop esp. since there is Commercial, Soriana and of course Walmart.

Well being here in Baja, We do shop local… but however Leys would be at the bottom of the scale here as far as produce goes.. even the Mexicans complain. We have Chedraui, Soriana, and Mega… OF COURSE lots of farmers selling on the weekends.

I agree, it was just my first experience with anything like a supermarket and it was right beside us. Since then we shop mostly at the the fruit and veg markets.

Some of us fun loving gringos here don’t even drink. Maybe it’s your rose colored glasses.

It was just a bit of satire…People next door have not touched a drop in years.

We fell in love with Puerto Vallarta over 13 years go and when I read your column I want to take the plunge and just retire there! I look forward to your next adventure!
