Excuse me but I would think all this would have been carefully considered before wasting a bunch of time and money on a new venture. I understand an
established business going down hill and failing after establishing a good reputation. Palermo has fallen off mucho lately and one of the most
outstanding marisco places - El Carrito - right next to Palermo just closed after almost 30 years. They both are failing because of poor service and
lower and lower and lower quality and variety. I still can't figure out why someone wasted a bunch of time and money and didn't allow it some time to
jell. The atmosphere at The Shack is not for everyone but, at least, they have stuck to their plan. I can't say that of the goofball that started
WTF.

BTW. We just (4 of us) ate at Paz 'n Go an hour ago. The last time we ate there we were delighted. Today the pan was stale, the burgers were
cremated and the service indifferent. Consistency is another big problem here in Baja Sur. We raved about the place and took our friends there
today. Today we were embarrassed.

We did give them a break. We even promoted them on this forum. I was asking a generic question about a common problem here. I appreciate ALL the
constructive comments by all of you. Hopefully someone thinking of a start up here will take some of the valid points posted here. The collective
brainpower of this forum could be invaluable to an investor. It has taken some time but, in time, it will be obvious who's posts you don't need to
read.

There is a new restaurant here in Todos Santos. I can't even remember the name of it but I thought I would try it out. I went over and the owner and
the waiters were all sitting around outside and as I walked up I told them I wanted to check out what they have.
So the waiter came over and handed me a menu which surprised me as I thought they would want me to go inside and sit down. Then the owner said he
would give me free flan for dessert. I told him thank you but I really don't care for Flan. Then he said the special was some asparagus thing and I
told him I don't like asparagus. Then he recommended something that I had no idea what it was and he explained that it was great and had spinach
inside of it. Um, I don't like Spinach, either.
So, I asked if I could have a seat and maybe just drink a beer and make a decision. He said the beer was not cold yet.
I left and went and ate somewhere else.

Bajaboy, I appreciate your promoting PNG but Please relay our experience of today. I was wishing there was a way to contact him. Today was our 3rd
time there and the food really was not very good. The bread was stale, the meat overcooked (we requested medium rare, as always) and although it's a
pickey point the meat on my wife's burger was hanging out one side, like the cook didn't give a chit. The biggest problem was that we were
introducing our friends to the place. They will not hurry back. Thanks!

I don't get it either, because KoiSushi which is next door to WTF just closed a couple of weeks ago too. I wonder if the closings are related?
Speaking of WTF, here's another foodie article on Tijuana:

Really? Only on this forum live people with brains??? None on the other forums? Makes me happy to be on this forum then.  Inquiring minds want to know.

The number one reason that new businesses fail in the states, especially restaurants, is because the owners did not have sufficient money to ride out
the period where they were building their clientele. Fundamentally, new businesses can expect to lose money when they open, for quite a while. If
they dump all their money up front, they will be toast.
