Paan Thai Ajijic restaurant

It is opening Saturday night the 21st, it is on Colon where Ritchie’s used to be, impressive entrance

Is this the new Rikki's Thai restaurant that closed on Marcos Castellanos?

Is the Thai restaurant still open on Zaragosa, west of Aquiles Serdan, that originally was just north of the LCS. (not Antono's Thai restaurant on Hidalgo)

Not Rikkis, New people

The restaurant on Zaragoza is still open.

Now we can all really tie-in to some Thai food......thai-in to tie food

There are several questions being asked about three different places. Just to clear up any confusion:


The Thai restaurant on Zaragoza is Simply Thai. It is NOT west of Aquiles Serdan. It is East of Aquiles Serdan between Juarez and A.S. and this restaurant is the one that used to be near LCS.

Ricki's on Marcos Castellanos is closed now.

Paan Thai is opening on Colon where Richi 88 used to be located. This is between Zaragoza and Hidalgo.

Tepatate Pien Thai Cuisine
Antonio Corona.....prop
Hidalgo 31-A

Is located east of Aquiles Serdan, between Juarez and A.S. and this restaurant is the one that used to be located in Interlago Plaza.

Which one has the best food?

I haven't tried the brand new one yet but until I do, I prefer the one on Hildago.

Pian Thai on Hidalgo is my favorite

Tepetate Pien Thai on Hidalgo is my favorite by a country mile over the one on Zaragosa that used be just north of LCS.  
Rikki's was very good also, but it's gone.

I drove past the brand new one on Colon yesterday evening and the lights were on with some people at the tables.

The new one on Colon is the chef from the one on Hidalgo, the Pad Thai was boring and no peanuts, green curry was too spicyhot to eat, but I sweated thru it and later that night had severe intestinal pain, thank god I was near bathroom

I'll pass on that one!

Thanks for being a pioneer and sorry about the after effects.

This guy sure gets around or is spread awfully thin. ......like the ubiquitous mushroom.

We ate at Paan Thai Monday for lunch. The pad thai with shrimp was not very good and the beef curry was very bland. We had eaten there before (for dinner) three/four times and been very pleased. Don't know if this was a "one of".

Are there sufficient customers to support 3 Thai restaurants in Ajijic.....

Of course not.........

The Thais number in the single digits around Lake Chapala......one per Thai restaurant
but they prefer Burger King.

With an entire AISLE @ Superlake, dedicated to asian cooking, the best brands, a multitude of rice & bean thread noodle choices.. I can't imagine wanting to be a guinea pig. Thx to pioneers who do. Made 10 gorgeous, non-fried, low cal, veggie (Bok Choi!) spring rolls yesterday, enough for 2 people for 3 days! Best rice paper, mung bean thread a breeze. So yea, an hour prep & an hour 'set', but srsly.. Shrimp @Walmart is pretty lame though.
