Mi Chayito

Good news for fans of Mi Chayito:

Driving on the La Ropa Road this evening, it appears that Abel has opened Mi Chayito at the old (until last week, anyway) La Bocana site, just west/south of El Gringo Gordo.
Until a week or so ago, Mi Chayito had been located in the Real de las Palmas Hotel, where the La Ropa road turns down towards Rossy's.

Yes, we saw their banner yesterday, coming back from La Ropa! Hope it's as good!

Supposedly someone new is moving into Real de las Palmas.

We were told that the owner of Real de las Palmas intends to run the restaurant himself, so Abel and Mi Chayito were toast.....so to speak.

I am happy that Mi Chayito has a new home. Sorry that La Bocana is apparently toast.

Ditto. Always liked La Bocana

I liked and miss the original one that was across from the basketball court.

They may have been toast where they were, but their food is as good as always. We were there last night.

The new chef at the Real de Las Palmas restaurant, La Vigia, is Ephrain, whose wife is the neice of the hotel owner.
Ephrain used to work as an assistant chef at El Mito and previously at the Viceroy. He has only got a hand written menu at the moment, and is open to suggestions about inclusions. He has some vegan food included in a balanced selection of meals. He will be serving breakfast, lunch and Dinner.
Chayito has moved to where Bocana tried, unsuccessfully, to reestablish their business. They are advertising their previous menu, with Asian dishes included. Hope the Carlos has improved his service skills.

Unfortunately, that whole end of town seems a poor bet for a restaurant location. In Mi Chayito's case, I hope I'm wrong. We'll make a point of going there, but to others it may seem a bit off the beaten path.

I agree. I'm guessing that Mi Chayito regrets having left the location on Vicente Guerrero, near the laundromat, a few years ago. I don't know for a fact, but guess that, like so many other Zihua businesses forced to move, his landlord tried to hit him with an exhorbitant rent increase.

Gringo Gordo is also there and Jungle Pizza and that lovely Italian place. I like all of them. And Bocana was a delight to eat there.

Does anyone know the name, and their days and hours?

Trattoria de Gianni. They are open nightly. VERY GOOD Italian food. They have a Facebook page.

Good to hear! Used to go lots when they were in Centro!
