Hola
Don Memo passed away peacefully at his home after a lengthy illness on Xmas eve or Xmas morning. They have already had the memorial for him. Don't know much else. RIP Don Memo.

Our sympathies to Madai and Michelle. Memo and his restaurant have been an integral part of our Zihua experience for the past 15 years or so, ever since he opened where Ubuntu is now located. In those days there were always line-ups to get in. We watched Michelle grow from a little tyke on her bike, to Memo helping with her homework, to the young lady she is now, helping to run the restaurant. And always, Memo in his Volkswagen. We'll miss him.

Yes Victorio, just as you stated in the earlier post that disappeared. Did you remove it for some reason or was it an admin that removed it? I was pretty surprised to see it go missing.

Condolences to Madai and Michelle, rest in peace.
We have enjoyed going to this restaurant since 2007 our first meal out on arrival in the fall and our last meal before heading home in the spring and many more during the winter. We pray the restaurant will survive despite this latest challenge for Madai.

He was the best host. Met him when he had a little place across-the-street in the hostel and Michelle slept in a crib just outside the kitchen. His red tennis shoes and big personality made every visit special. We always laughed that he was a great Rodney Dangerfield. What a loss for family friends community and the restaurant world. Will remember his greeting smile and welcome "this is the place."
Peace be with you.

We met Don Memo when he was the Maitre D at Paccalos in the 1980's. We definitely would visit his restaurant whenever we were in Zihua. He would make me my favorite Filete Almandrada even though it was not on the menu. We will miss Don Memo!
