And the little sign behind the bartender that said "These Margaritas are Doubles" didn't lie. Lotsa fun there.

No, they didnt lie.

And, at least in my hey-day there, you could call ANY tequila you wanted. It was all the same price.

I often wonder what all those ejido employees are doing now. Did the sale improve their lives?

And how did the ejido acquire it? I never read "One Hell of a Ride" but I assume that talks about it.

In the days when Alvarado owned the restaurant and hotel, it was a real paradise. He was the perfect host and always made you feel welcome and the food was very, very good. When Marcaletti took over things made a big change and they did not cater much to the local people living at Chivato. He got into a legal dispute with the Lujans over water and finally lost in court. Seems that was about when he put the hotel up for sale. In addition his wife was seriously injured in a car accident and she still has major problems.

The best part about the Hotel is the memories.

The rooms had a cool little atrium in them. One time I saw a mouse and scorpion square off. They circled each other and finally went on their own way.
It was better than tv.
Hooked and lost my 1st marlin there.
