Is Mexico sending all its best to the USA? by jazzpaz
Where are y'all buying the plump, fresh produce l keep seeing pictures of? I have purchased fresh fruits and vegetables at the regular grocery stores, and at the tiendas my neighbors frequent, but everything is half past soft on the shelves, and ...
Some Sorianas have some organic foods, but very little, and if it's not labeled organic, it isn't. However, your local farmer may be growing toxin - free. You have to ask. I have yet to see any food from China . Read More

@tussell-bug19 I would like to recommend Miguel Flores and Laura Cruz with RESMA RE in SMA. They work together as a team. We have lived in Mexico for years, but recently moved to SMA and they went WAY above and beyond when we bought our new home. Read More
Going to San Miguel De Allende and looking for an accountant by Daniworld
Hi!! We are headed next week to SM to check out some property. We have talked to friends that own some property in Baja who suggested we get an accountant to help with the process if we decide to buy the property. Does anyone know of good ...
I have bought, so far, 3 properties in Mexico, and I have sold 2, and never used an accountant. That sounds like money lost, to me. I know many ex pats, also, and none used accountants. Did your friends in Baja say WHY to get an accountant? Only the ... Read More

In general, we find Mexico to be very lax as far as laws are concerned. However, even after years here, we are still being caught off guard regularly by weird new rules and laws. For this and other reasons, I strongly suggest you find an attorney in ... Read More

I checked again, and I believe there are multiple buses daily, connecting Houston to Saltillo. They take over 12 hours, and involve 3 changes and cost around $140 USD, at least this is advertised in many websites. But if you are bringing pets, or ... Read More
