Dear Sir,
We are recent arrivals here in Ajijic. Like all newbies, we are bombarded with information about how to exist in the Mexico milieu. One of the knowledge-based claims was that the carwash guys will steal things from your car – cell phones, GPS, wallets and so on.
Last week we went to the Lake Taco eatery and the Carwash next to it. Two weeks prior, I had misplaced my Visa credit card and had already ordered a new one. When we came out to claim our car – after one of the best fish tacos one can ever eat – my misplaced VISA card was on the steering wheel of the car.
I am convinced that were I to have had my car washed up north, that card would have been in someone’s pocket. One of the reasons we left Canada and the United States – and also one of the reasons we moved to Ajijic – is that these people are fundamentally honest, and at Lake Taco and Carwash, they do a great job, make great tacos and salads and the team is honest and honorable.
