Molino Viejo San Quintin
We at Grupo Pinos Know Mr. Eddie for years, we are very sorry for his loss and welcome the Opportunity to clean the name of all of the land owners
here at the bay, as one of the members comment on one of the past posts, these buildings are at some cases up to 40 years old with no maintenance what
so ever, so for that people that might think of a conspiracy theory first hear the facts:
-Mr. Eddie didnt had an insurance!
-The new owners of Molino Viejo Restaurant are friends of Don Eddie and have no interest on buying Don Eddie's
-All of the Land owners at the place are facing a crysis because of American Goverment telling tourists not to visit mexico
-Most of the buildings here at the bay have old electrical wiring and are suitable to fire
-"Firestations" are 20 minutes from the place and doesnt have any water at their trucks, and with no water pipes near the place it was a waste of time
and a joke. One of our (Los Pinos) private water trucks was the first to show up and aid the people because it was called by radio by one of our men
that guards the molino at night!
Conclusion: This is a warning for all us, is a shame that someone had to face it before all of us take proper measures to avoid it!
If you dont believe us ask Mr. Eddie in person
Thanks!

Although San Quintin has been one, for some time, by certain measurements, it appears that it is increasingly becoming a company town. Sr. Marketing
Director, is it the plan of Los Pinos to acquire all the desirable real estate?

It will be nice to have it open again and I wish you well. For the last several years there have been so many land and business disagreements in that
area. I hope they are settled now.
Best of Luck with this business and welcome to this forum. It will be nice to hear about things from your point of view.
It will also be nice to hear about any future plans in the Vizcaino area.

Thank you Arturo for your words on this...
Just so you don't think it is the only reason for lack of tourism in Mexico... your line: "All of the Land owners at the place are facing a crysis
because of American Goverment telling tourists not to visit mexico" ... doesn't apply to all of us on Baja Nomad...
I for one have never been told by the American government not to visit Mexico... The primary reason I have been traveling there less is the economy is
so bad for us the past 2 years, we just don't vacation as much, to save money.
The second reason is that the crime in Northern Baja that the Mexican governemnt isn't stopping fast enough is keeping us from enjoying the cities of
Baja or traveling in them at night like we had so much, before.
The local news, not the government has been showing and talking about the killings/ beheadings/ drug cartel crime and that amount of violent crime
will keep tourists away from Mexico. There are plenty more places in the world and the U.S. to visit without that amount of fear.
Long border lines on the return have been somewhat an issue to Mexico travel, but now Mexico has increased inspections causing long border lines going
into Mexico... That does not help tourism.
I look forward to better economic times and a safer Mexico once again... That will bring back the tourists...
While there are other places to go, there is only ONE BAJA CALIFORNIA!

We undestand the think of some people, but before any judgements let me tell those people some information:
My grandfather came to San Quintin 60 years ago with nothing but faith, He and my Uncles had to work 12 hours daily minimun salary for almost 20 years
before they can buy some land for farming good desitions mixed by good luck and a lot of faith lead them to own wath they have now and I think thats
the spirit of all americans and the spirit of what makes USA the strongest nation in the world aint it, so thats the way the world runs we disdnt
create it thats the way world works.
Thanks
And you can call me Arturo

I too wish you well in your endeavors. I remember your ranch well when it was way smaller than it is now. There are people in both countries who are
always negative. Ignore them

Museum
Rancho Los Pinos Owners used to work at the places they are buying because the want to keep those memories of those old days and let them remember
where they came from
some of them worked at the old cannery where the restaurant was open by Gaston the hotel is own by some old Gaston's Partners that started a legal war
some years ago but thats separated from our restaurant,
The La Pinta Hotel was bought to the mexican goverment by beeing the only company interested on buying it, the only hotel bought of the chain was the
one at san quintin besides that Rancho Los Pinos is only concernned on Providing fresh vegetables to people!
Im sorry!
about the museum we are collecting a lot of stuff from the 1800 british colony at san quintin and hoping to fullfill the expectation it is creating,
we are working with the INAH (national History and antropological institute) for the best experience for the tourists!

Amazing how a story about a burnt out restaurant can morph into a blame game leveled at the US Government.
Uneffingbelievable.

Hola, Arturo...
We appreciate your input on the rebuilding of the Molino Viejo. However...all the rebulding and money invested in the restaurant will go to waste if
the food (quality, preparation and presentation) does not improve. There is much negativity that plages the restaurant from many years ago to the
present.

Your English is fine, Arturo. It's your focus of attention that has a problem. Seems you came here wanting to talk about a restaurant and you
immediatly change the subject to international relations and crime.
What'll it be, Arturo? One or the other.

I do believe that the US government warnings on travel to Mexico, among other things, have had an effect on tourism. So he is not totally incorrect.
