December 14th Crafts Fair at Zac's Restaurant

The Zac's Annual Craft Fair was held on Sunday December 14th at Zac's Bar and Grill Restaurant. Various booths were offering hand made jewelry (by Roberta Booth), crafts (from Raven's collection), organic food products (from Samantha Kosty - Cocina Colibri), books and post cards (Judith Greenleaf) for sale to fair visitors. Hot dogs and beer were also available, as were the upstairs bar and grill facilities at Zac's. This event was organized in conjunction with LIGIMAC (a well known Cabo Mexican-American-Canadian charitable organization). We look forward to this annual event returning next year!

ATV's and vehicles on the beach create nuisance for sea life, beach goers and home owners

A number of Los Zacatitos homeowners have recently complained that the number of ATVs (all terrain vehicles) on the beach have become 'difficult to tolerate'. While there are many who would declare (as in the past) that 'nobody can tell me where to ride', the simple fact is that vehicles are prohibitted under Mexican Federal Law from the 'federal zone', meaning, the beach.

These prohibitions to vehicles are rarely, if ever, enforced aound Zacatitos by the police, but the prohibitions are in effect. So, before we do another update 'outing' people and their vehicles driving the beach, perhaps we could inform our visitors and neighbors, and especially rentors who come for a weekend or week, about not driving on the beach. If the reason of a 'federal law' is not enough, then perhaps the notion that we at Zacatitos have periodic turtle egg laying areas on the beaches should strike a chord of reason as to why driving on the beach is a 'bad idea' and should be avoided.

New restaurant-bar 'Zac's' opens in Los Zacatitos

Los Zacatitos homeowners and entrepreneurs Paul and Angel Rini, along with partner Troy Hulick opened Zac's Bar & Grill on October 6th, 2008. Located on the (upper) road to Los Zacatitos near the intersection with the beach road, this restaurant and bar seats 42 patrons upstairs as is open 12 noon to 8 p.m. (or later) 7 days a week (except Tuesdays when it is closed).

Assisting Paul and Angel are chef Erica and bar manager Jesus Serano. Zac's features a full-service bar and lunch and full-dinner dining menus, which are excellent and varied (from salads, sandwiches, and lunch entres to chicken and steak dinners). The restaurant-bar is open throughout the year with the exception of September.

Zac's is a welcome neighborhood restaurant bar, joining Buzzards (La Laguna) and Crossroads (Vinorama) as the only such facilities on the East Cape road from San Jose del Cabo. The remodeling and construction labor, and all furniture were locally obtained. The owners, Paul and Angel Rini, said they benefited greatly from local neighborhood support (for obtaining their operating license), and also said that this restaurant-bar was created with community needs and enhancement in mind. The neighborhood bar concept will soon feature sporting events presented on the upstairs TV.

Judging from the attendance and enthusiastic response of diners during the past few weeks, this restaurant-bar is 'the place' for great casual dining and to meet old friends and make new ones.

Future plans include a store (tienda) located adjacent to the restaurant-bar. Upcoming events include a New Year's Eve Party on December 31st, 2008 (beginning at 9 p.m.).
