Monday market in Chapala

Is it open again? If so, is it only food items or everything?

Yes, it's open...at least for food items. We've been getting some great dishes from Martine; right inside the door. Quiches, pot pies and outstanding scones. Makes eating ta home easier.

Chapala or San Antonio?

The Monday Market, I assume is the tianguis, and yes it is partially open like Ajijic.

There is a Monday Market in San Antonio Tlayacapan, in the Sunrise Restaurant, but is almost all prepared and other food items.

Yes, I am referring to the Monday market in the Sunrise Restaurant in San Antonio. At least one vendor, Deena Hafker, is selling home grown veggies there.

I'm asking about the tianguis in Chapala on Mondays.

Open, CB, don't know how full though.

I've always thought the tianguis in Chapala was call the "tianguis". The market at Sunrise Restaurant was called the "Monday Market".

You can think that alright but many people call the "tianguis" the "Monday market".
Bob asked about Chapala on Mondays and gringal gave him info on SAT.
Differetnt towns, different kinds of markets.

Guilty as charged.

A tianguis is basically a street market, AFAIK. That is a major distinction.

I'm looking for the clothing vendors in particular. I need a few things.

Try Alicias down toward the fish restaurants in Chapala

Well that direction is about as vague as I have seen..maybe a little , just a tiny bit more info, please

Perhaps you might need to get out more, Lakeside7?

CB, Chapala tianguis is a great place to get men's clothes! I used to go with a friend from Joco and he always came back with a stack if cargo shorts and pants as well as a stack of t-shirts. Alicia has great women's clothes, never noticed men's but she may well have them. Her prices, however will be higher than the tianguis for sure.

Bob, good clothes at the north end of the tianguis.

I've shopped there and been very happy with the styles and durability of the clothing.  Go to the middle of restaurant row and look across the street.  There's a green area and parking. The shop itself on the street is small, but they have a large storage building on the same premises.  Very little English spoken but they do well with those of us semi-bilingual who guess and hope for understanding.  Very reasonable prices, though probably higher than the tiangus.

So to summarize, the Monday tianguis is open but not the clothing vendors?

Well you certainly don´t qualify to be an American politician of the highest ranking.

They are never GUILTY......

BTW....went to your guy in SAT today about 11AM, he was sold out.  Will try him again next week, just go earlier.

He's popular, as are most with the good stuff. We get there at 10:00 when he opens. One favorite is the blueberry scones.

Don´t know for sure, just that my neighbor said they weren´t up to full throttle yet.  I´ll try to find out what´s missing if they know.

That would be great. Thanks slainte!!

More good news, ready or not: We've been buying the quiche Lorraine and the chicken pot pies. Both are the best we've found. The chicken pot pies are stuffed with....chicken!

I think I've been hijacked........lol.
