Anyone hear what's happened to El Rocon? Is it closed for renovation or just closed?

I have been informed via friends who were very regular customers there that, it is indeed closed for refurbishment, and the new plans sound fairly extensive and adventurous. Not sure when it will re-open but a clue might be when they put the sign back up!

Stopped by on Friday. They're still remodeling. Expanded dining area. Bar moved inland. The say 3-4 weeks 'till opening. My problem is: after the last turnover of ownership, they were charging 100 pesos for a beer! What do you think they will be charging now???

Sometimes I'm calendar challenged, I also fall for April Fools jokes EVERY YEAR.

So will MJ be on the bill this year?

It's really quite fascinating this subject for me. I owned and lived in the house right next door (white house with wavy roof) for 4 years. Ramon, the owner of El Rocon was always a gentleman to me and we got along very well.

He often finds an 'investor' for aspects of his remodelling which normally takes place every couple of years - at which time, he adds to the land around it, just a little bit each time.

The restaurant never changes ownership by the way and the investor normally does not stick around for long.
