Jim Horn News 
Hi Jim. Thanks for the eating options for my next visit. A couple of questions if I may. First, is El Colorin the name of what used to be called Los Colorines on Av Emiliano Zapata?
And secondly, is there a large American/Canadian/European group living there that you are connected with and are you still comfortable going out and about and still able to feel secure? Or are you only there a small portion of the year? Best to you. Steve
Yes, it seems El Colorin changed its name from Los Colorines an the two branches are now separate restaurants.The Expat group is a few hundred of various nationalities, really nice people. We have an email network to communicate. Most people are still staying sheltered but a some are just starting to go out in small groups to in dine outdoors. It is far from normal. I am a full time resident with only occasional trips back to NY to see family.
Also Paparazzi.
Last time I was there, the outdoor area was a children’s playground and all tables were inside.
Last time I was there, the outdoor area was a children’s playground and all tables were inside. When I aske the expat community for recommendations, no one included it.
Thanks, Jim – I remember going to several on this list and hearing about several others from you. And then there are many that are new to me. Cuernavaca is blessed with wonderful weather to make outside dining a treat almost any day of the year.

Hi Jim,
Enjoyed reminiscing about some of these great restaurants . . . . now all I need is permission to enter Mexico, a helicopter and a place to stay (ha).
Hope all is well with you in this strangest of times.
Hugs,
Mary Lou
Great memories of so many friendships formed here help ease the isolation. Thanks.
