News & Notes
Hinde y Jaimies – Full speed ahead for grand reopening November 20th
Nothing could be finer than a fish taco after a hard morning at the Thursday Market…and for those of us who make the Jaltemba Bay area our home, the best place to get a fish or camarón taco has been Hinde y Jaime. Closed since last May, the restaurant is moving down the Avenida, one block past the Avenida Restaurant on the left hand side.
Much of the
furnishings will be same including the famous bar, but the
restaurant itself is in excellent shape with new restrooms
(three of them) fresh paint and with all the windows and
location much more light enters the facilities. Closer to the
beach, the patrons can expect to be cooled by the breezes from
th
As of yesterday, the only holdup has been the placement of the bar…oops they will have to move it again. Unfortunately for those of us who like to play a game of pool, Jaimie is having a hard time finding a place for it in the restaurant as the space is not as big as the former location. Jaime says he is still working on it…but his eyes showed a little disappointment.
Patty is still attending University in PV but hopes to be finished in December to help out and remain one of the friendliest bartenders in the area. Still shooting for November 20th . Revolution Day. Can’t wait.

Scorpions in the Area
Gentle reminder. Particularly for those who are new to the area or live in RVs.
When you live in paradise, you can easily put down your guard and forget that we have a few little critters. Especially the poisonous kind. Always remember to give your shoes a shake before putting them on …scorpions are in the area and they love the warmth and moisture of our shoes and beach towels that are left outside.

Editors Note: The Express was started 2
years ago as a newspaper for the La Penita RV Resort and
certainly we have many readers, contributors and friends
in the Park. We have been persuaded this year to expand
our coverage to the greater community in the Bay area
and offer the same "almost daily" service we have for
the smaller group. Please consider the Jaltemba Express
your community newspaper and contribute news, stories
and ideas that interest you from you hamlet in paradise.
Restaurant Review
THE POOLSIDE RESTAURANT AT LA PENITA RV RESORT
Reviewed by the "Kitchen Goddess" for Jaltemba Express
Located in the jungle of La Penita, The Poolside Restaurant is the place to
see and be seen on Sunday evenings. You'll dine al fresco at the outdoor
patio beside the glistening blue waters of the pool. The Poolside
Restaurant is a La Penita standout.
Famous for it's surly wait staff and hot cooks, wonderful Sam's Club burgers
and Johnsonville Brats, and of course the great condiments served in the
ever delightful Tupperware bowls.
It's one of the few restaurants around Jaltemba Bay that serves both sautéed
and freshly cut onions. The ice berg lettuce is always crunchy, the
tomatoes sublime, and the rolls always have the exact amount of sogginess to
make it a challenge to eat you hamburger. Sometimes you have to be careful
when the wait staff asks questions. The question for this particular
evening was "would you like a big bun or a little bun." Be careful when you
answer because your spouse might be standing right beside you. But every
good restaurant presents challenges and the Poolside Restaurant does it with
class.
An integral part of this restaurant experience is the wait staff. They
smile sometimes, dance around one another and sometimes even with one
another. They drink on the job, and forget to put out the condiments.
That's fine with us, because we know this is the first hamburgesa night of
the season and everyone is a little out of practice. We forgive their
dancing and drinking on the job, but just don't stop being surly, it adds to
the ambiance. We love surly. We also love those little hot cooks Mr. Barry
and Mr. Ross, they hold a spatula with such a degree of authority.

Just
the other evening in the Jaltemba Express Office, a large
scorpion skitted across the floor. The office was well lit
and free from debris and other usual hiding spots. It was
captured by one of our reporters in a large pina colada
glass that just happened to be close by.
