THE PRESIDENT OF CHAPALA, ALEJANDRO AGUIRRE CURIEL, REPORTED THAT THE OWNER DOES NOT HAVE AUTHORIZATIONS FROM THE MUNICIPALITY

May 24, 2022

Sofía Medeles.- The controversial restaurant located on the Ajijic pier, which in recent weeks has seen staff working for an upcoming reopening, still does not have the necessary licenses to operate nor have they approached the Chapala authorities.

This information was confirmed by the municipal president, Alejandro de Jesús Aguirre Curiel, who assured that no business line has been authorized.

“So far, I am not aware that they have approached, but they do not have any license”, thus ruling out an early opening.

Contrary to this, in the last three weeks, there has been activity by workers carrying out renovations, along with a large billboard, which has information about the restaurant, which reads "coming soon".

These movements have generated controversy among the ajijitecos and caused contrary opinions, among those who do not agree with the restaurant, or with the premises, and those who see it as a source of work, a tourist attraction, and that it would be better occupied than abandoned.

The 34-year-old building is located next to the Ajijic pier, and was built there due to a concession granted by the National Water Commission (Conagua) to an individual. The owner of the site and the concession is Fabio Rizzo Jasso. According to him, the concession covers 3,362 meters, including a part of the boardwalk and the Parque de la Amistad, and is authorized for 50 years.

isn't it great that the people MIGHT have influence on what government does?

If it goes through, won't there be 4 Argentinean steak houses on the same street?

Somebody needs to tell the owner. As of this morning they are still working on it.

Administrative Court orders license to controversial restaurant bar in Ajijic.

The Court of Administrative Justice ordered the Chapala city council to deliver a municipal license for the operation of the restaurant bar business located in the vicinity of the Ajijic boardwalk, after the owner Héctor Fabio "N" filed a lawsuit against the municipal government to take into account that there are no obstacles for removing the (previous) refusal.

The resolution was issued on June 20 with a favorable ruling (requiring) the municipality to deliver the municipal license corresponding to the year 2022.

Faced with this ruling, the municipality could file an appeal in the Superior Chamber of the Court.

A group of environmentalists and residents of Ajijic have spoken out against this restaurant bar, since it is located in the middle of the Ajijic boardwalk.

During the last visit made by this means, it was found that the property was remodeled and presents advertisements with job offers.
