That music you were just listening to is performed by Alberto Perez, the owner of the La Palapa Group of Restaurants. Those are La Palapa, Puerto Vallarta’s Oldest Restaurant on the famous Los Muertos Beach, and The El Dorado Restaurant and Beach Club right next door so you can enjoy that fantastic view of the Los Muertos Pier all lit up at night in beautiful colors, or during the day in its grand splendor for breakfast, lunch or dinner, seated with your toes in the sand right at the water’s edge. It’s so romantic, it’s so, Puerto Vallarta my friends.
This week we are going to visit with Jimmy Plouff at Vallarta Food Bank. Jimmy will fill us in on what’s going on there, you will be amazed as a matter of fact. And we are also going to visit Matty and Jesse up in El Tuito, they have in addition to their cool B and B, a new
pizza and sandwich place. A real restaurant called Provecho Panque Paninis Pizza y Mas, and Matty will tell you all about it, but before we get to Jimmy and Matty., let’s see what’s happening this week in Puerto Vallarta, the 10th of February, 2021.
The Red Button Continues until the 15th of February
Covid related restrictions continued on the ground in Puerto Vallarta. The order given by Jalisco Governor Enrique Alfaro to close restaurants, bars, taco stands by 10 o’clock in the evening, an order that was to be ended January 31st, was extended until February14th, …Happy Valentines Day. By the way, if you are in town check with your favorite restaurants. Many of them will be open. Also if you are over the age of 60 you are banned from shopping at Costco, Mega, Home Depot, all the big box stores so stick to the little tiendas, the local mercados, the OXXOs, the arrabotes and the local liquor stores like the El Coyules of the world.
Did I notice the restrictions when I was in town a couple of weeks ago? Well, since I’m usually a late eater I had to make sure I sat down to dinner with enough time to enjoy myself. The nights ended earlier than usual, but that meant I got up early and I got a chance to have breakfast just about every day. Cuates y Cuetes, La Palapa twice, Menos Place, Tacos de Birria Alex and another Birria taco place too. Mi Café to name a few.
I did notice it was pretty quiet. There were fewer American visitors and everyone I spoke with were bemoaning the fact that the Canadians were leaving in droves and it just didn’t look like high season was every going to turn around…well now Canada has heaped on some new rules and regulations on anyone who dares travel and have fun and get some sunshine…that’s right…
There are new restrictions on Travelers from Canada and the US
From the Huffington Post
New Travel Restrictions For Canada Include Mandatory Testing At Airports: Trudeau
Canada’s airlines also agreed to suspend flights to the Caribbean and Mexico until April.
By Zi-Ann Lum
Ryan Maloney
OTTAWA — To deter the potential import of new COVID-19 variants into the country, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced new restrictions and measures Friday to make the cost of travel more expensive.
New actions to discourage non-essential trips will come into effect Sunday, which will see the immediate suspension of flights by major Canadian air carriers to sunny destinations. There goes your vitamin D
From the CBC I guess…Let’s listen to Prime Minister of Canadia JT, Justin Trudeau explaining to Canadians how screwed they are if they travel…..
Listen to the podcast….
So yes….you still can do a work-around and fly a US carrier to Puerto Vallarta, or back…but as Trudeau said the other day…
“The government and Canada’s main airlines have agreed to suspend service to sun destinations right away,” “Air Canada, West Jet, SunWing and Air Transat are cancelling air service to all Caribbean destinations and Mexico starting this Sunday up until April 30th.”
Now there has been some legal action promised to keep the government from mandating these $2,000 3-day hotel stays, but we will see what occurs as the date for implementation of the covid detention centers…I think you should call them Hotel 19, after that famous US economy hotel chain. I think it has a rather good ring to it.
Now add on to that, the news that Canada has banned any cruise ships in Canadian waters until February 2022, although that doesn’t affect Mexican travel, what a hit to your travel industry. Puerto Vallarta still has no plans for any cruiseros any time in the near of far future either.
Let’s quickly go over the new travel rules for Canada and the US traveling to and returning from Mexico
First of all, you just heard the news about no Canadian Airline Carriers flying to Mexico so that means 60 fewer flights from Canada into Puerto Vallarta every month. As I said, a Canadian could fly a US Airline to a US hub, transfer and take a US flight to Vallarta. To do so, a Canadian would need a negative Antigen or PCR test, taken no more than 72 hours before your flight into the US, or a proof of a positive test with a note from your doctor or a medical professional, clearing you to fly or travel or return to work, stating that you are no longer contagious. I want to to get back to you about that in a few minutes. So that’s if you are a Canadian traveling to Puerto Vallarta.
Now as an American, flying out you must mask up in airport terminals and busses and during the plane ride with the exception of when you are eating or drinking something, but as of today, Americans are not required to take any tests boarding domestic flights or international flights leaving the country. Coming back is a different story, but not exiting the country. Now…
Once you get into Mexico, both US and Canadian travelers are required to fill out the regular forms we always fill out when we arrive in Vallarta, immigration and customs, we fill out a form regarding covid. Saying we are not sick, that we haven’t been sick, and where we are staying and where we sat on the plane on the way over. All this is for tracking purposes.
While in Puerto Vallarta you are requested to wear masks out in public as well as on busses, in taxis and Ubers, and when entering restaurants and walking around in restaurants. You will see, especially in the touristy areas, the masking rules are being followed. These are my observations from my three visits during the pandemic.
Now, returning, as we said last week, Canadians don’t get a choice of the test they need to take to take, US citizens are required to have a negative PCR or Antigen test to fly into the US, but Canadians need a negative PCR, polymers chain reaction test to get into Canada, so as a Canadian, you need to get tested to return no more than 72 hours from takeoff, and need a negative result or proof of a positive test with a note from your doctor or a medical professional, clearing you to fly or travel or return to work, stating that you are no longer contagious.
Then, you will be perhaps required to stay at the Hotel 19 for 3 nights at a cost to you of $2,000 Canadian dollerettes, then it’s off to your home where you finish your 14-day quarantine. Sounds daunting? Nawww.
Now if you are American you need a negative PCR or antigen test, no more than 72 hours before your departure, or a proof of a positive test with a note from your doctor or a medical professional, clearing you to fly or travel or return to work, stating that you are no longer contagious, before you can board that airplane to the airport in the US. Once you land, you will be required to perhaps retest within 3 days, or quarantine for 7 to 10 days, depending on what state or county you land in or reside. I want to talk about that too. Don’t let me forget…
So last week I gave you a few tips about getting those tests. Where, how much, what are the best and so on, and if you go to last week’s shownotes you will find them, but I’ll put them in this week’s shownotes as well.
And …last week I said that the best place to get tested, and the cheapest place to get tested is at the Puerto Vallarta Airport. That’s, assuming you aren’t staying at a resort where the are testing for free, because you will find that service at some places for sure. You need to give yourself and them time so I recommend, if you are a US citizen you get an Antigen test done like 2 days before you take off.
There are places all over town doing the tests, some will come to your condo or hotel room to do the test too. I have them in the show-notes. Also here’s where I wanted to get back to this…let’s say you tested positive, and you aren’t sick, and need a doctor to clear you for takeoff, I am compiling a list of docs and health professionals who can write you a doctors note to clear you for flying if you do have a positive result, and I will have them in the shownotes too.
Places to Get Tested For Corona Virus in Puerto Vallarta
The Puerto Vallarta Airport
You need a proof of Itinerary to Get Tested for antigen or PCR. Cheap and easy. Antigen test will be $ 450 pesos and the PCR will be $ 1,450 pesos, both prices will be applicable only to passengers on international flights.

That begins the tomorrow January 26th. Here’s a statement put out by The GAP group… Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico.
Sat, January 23,
GAP AIRPORTS facilitate COVID-19 TESTING with LABORATORIES set up in twelve airports operating throughout the country. Every passenger bound for the United States of America must perform a covid 19 antigen or PCR COVID-19 detection test within 72 hours prior to boarding the flight to the US. Since the United States government requires so that every passenger who enters its territory has a negative test for Covid-19 PCR or Antigen, the Pacific Airport Group (GAP) will carry out the installation of temporary laboratories in each of the twelve airports that operates in the country, so that users who do not have a valid test from the American authorities can take the exam and travel safely to the neighboring country. To provide a quality service to users, it has been agreed to facilitate the installation of laboratories in our facilities. Thus, gradually, as of Monday, January 25, temporary modules for COVID-19 detection tests will be installed at the airports of Guadalajara, Tijuana, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, Guanajuato, Hermosillo, Mexicali, Morelia, La Paz, Aguascalientes, Los Mochis and Manzanillo. The cost of the Antigen test will be $ 450 pesos and the PCR will be $ 1,450 pesos, both prices will be applicable only to passengers on international flights. GAP recommends arriving in sufficient time to take your flight and, if possible, complete the documentation and requirements to fly in advance, as well as perform the test in the city’s laboratories. If the passenger wishes to take the test at the airport, he must add a travel itinerary at least an additional hour to the time recommended by the airline. In addition, GAP suggests that passengers consult with their airline the requirements requested by the United States government and learn about possible changes in their flight itinerary. You can find more information on our official social networks, check on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn: @A AeropuertoGAP.
How was the trip? How was it different?
More tracking, more restrictions upon return to the US, and now although I got under the wire, mandatory PCR test if you are Canadian and mandatory PCR or Antigen test if you are from the US. God these governments are the pushers of these tests. The diagnostic companies owe these politicians big time…oh…wait a minute. That doesn’t sound right. Or does it? Even though I got under the wire for having to take a test before getting on a plane to the US, I didn’t know what they had planned for me when I arrived back in Los Angeles. When I went to my email box and clicked on the link for checking in
on Delta, they asked me as part of the check-in to click a link to a page that basically stated since I was entering through Los Angeles, I would need to quarantine at home for 10 days, and they asked me to promise and electronically sign that I would follow the 10 day order. Totally surprised by that one, but I signed it anyway. Did I follow it to a tee? I’ll never tell. I will say I didn’t have any face to face contact with any clients during that 10 day period other than over the phone. I was never contacted by health authorities, nobody ever checked up on me so I don’t know if they tracked me through my phone but like I said, I wasn’t expecting that.
When I got into Puerto Vallarta, the first thing I did after checking in to the hotel was take a walk down to Cuates y Cuetes to catch the sunset. Then I taxied up to JR’s place where we exchanged some muled down stuff then we walked down to Que Pasa for dinner and a chance to listen to Steven Tenney and Tequila Rush and talk about my planned interviews. It was great eating in a real restaurant and listening to live music. From there, I walked down to Kelly’s Pour Favor where there was also live music. Then, back to the La Siesta. Without boring you all with every last detail, I want to just say almost everywhere I was, proper protocol was being followed…with the exception of El Tuito where nobody was wearing masks. It was… unique.
I will say I was in El Tuito three times during this trip and I took the bus each time, and each time the busses were packed. It’s not like I got on a packed but, I get on the bus at the bus stop in the town center, next to the Abarrotes store where they have benches set up along the wall. Oh…I have a story to tell about sitting on those benches…I hope I can
remember to tell you about those precious moments sitting on those benches waiting for a bus. Anyway, it’s empty when you get on the bus at the stop… It’s just that they fill up as they go through the town of Tuito on the way up to the highway 200, Carretera 200 back to Vallarta. So yeah, packed busses always and I lived to tell the tale. At one point on one of the trips I looked up from my phone and realized 3/4 of the passengers were not wearing masks. Go figure. Took mine off too. Showed them.
I took the ATM bus from Walmart across from the Marine Terminal and bussed it up to Bucerias and La Cruz de Huanaxoxtle and spent the day interviewing some very interesting people who you will be meeting in the weeks ahead. I ate and drank at Karen’s Place, El Brujo which has a really nice place right on the water El Brujo of course has been in Emilian Zapata Zona Romantica for years. Really nice place. I interviewed Sidney at Mezzagieorno, great Italian food right on the water in a romantic setting. Then a tequila tasting at a killer restaurant overlooking the harbor at La Cruz. All were following proper protocols. Taking temperatures at the doors, squirting that gross antibacterial soap into your hands, and meticulously cleaning tables, menus and chairs. Everywhere you looked, they were doing their best to keep us safe.
In town it was just like it always is, just with fewer people. Never an issue getting a table anywhere and almost everyone was open. Mask wearing as I said, in the tourist areas was very good. There still was no entertainment on the Malecon, but the food booths were open. Rodolfo was singing, I caught him a couple of times but I refused to take his picture
with his mask and face shield. Make sure you give generously when you see Rodolfo. I did a lot thanks to the great suggestions from you listeners who gave me hints as to who you wanted to hear from. It was a good, busy 10 days. I did skip Mascota and Talpa de Allande, but I interviewed a guy who will give us a good description of the town, and the best ways to get there and where to stay if you choose to stay a night or two and explore. I’ll have John on next week and he will tell us about his project called Guerria Contra Basura, the war against trash. He has a program in Vallarta that we will talk about next week.
So, I’m sad that so many people are being encouraged not to travel to Puerto Vallarta, If you feel comfortable traveling and you miss Vallarta, I would still encourage you to come. I won’t let it stop me. I’ve already made my reservations to fly back in May, and let me tell you, the selection of Airbnb rentals is through the roof with steep discounts. I’ll fill you in on the details next week.
AMLO Recovers and Returns to Action
AMLO, Andreas Manuel Lopez Obrador the president of Mexico who I told you last week had the rona, he is back on the job after dropping out for two weeks. He’s back, he’s not wearing a mask, he underwent a special treatment he says and he is ready to tackle the important issues facing Mexico, curtailing corruption, building a more secure future for those being terrorized by cartel violence, and bringing vaccines to fight the dastardly virus. And AMLO is doing his daily briefings again, and if you have any desire to learn Spanish, Obrador speaks slowly and clearly and is easy to follow if you are interested. His daily briefings have become an issue as elections loom, and I’m going to talk about that next week, because it’s interesting and has some similarities between US and Mexican politics but that once again we are running long…will need to wait till next week
Now just recently I got word from JR that he was finally able to get online for the vaccine, for the jab when it becomes available in Mexico. He went online to register through IMSS. He figures the vaccine will be available sometime in June. But look out for scammers folks……
Look Out…The Cartels May Be Selling Snake Oil Disguised as a Vaccine
Looks like folks are trying to take advantage of the big money available to vaccine makers and providers…but is the mob involved? Here’s a story from Insight Crime.org. that should concern you…

Liquid Gold – False COVID-19 Vaccines Emerge in Latin America
ANALYSIS Written by Shane Sullivan -JANUARY 18, 2021
In 2021, the COVID-19 vaccine is liquid gold. As governments begin to roll out inoculation programs, criminal groups are taking advantage of the anxious interim, offering a range of scams from reserved vaccination spots to counterfeit vaccines – practices that may have serious public health implications.
In early December, INTERPOL issued a global alert warning of criminal activity around the falsification, theft and illegal advertising of COVID-19 and flu vaccines – the latest opportunistic and predatory criminal behavior triggered by the pandemic.
And while Mexico seems to be the early epicenter for criminal activity surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines, similar practices are emerging in numerous countries, including Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil and Panama.
Fake Vaccines
On January 8, Milenio reported that Mexico’s National Council of Private Security (Consejo Nacional de Seguridad Privada – CNSP) has confirmed the presence of laboratories set up by organized crime groups to create fake COVID-19 vaccines. The CNSP’s president, Raúl Sapién Santos, stated that such operations had been identified in Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Chihuahua, and Mexico City.
There are also concerns that organized crime groups, such as the Familia Michocana and the Jalisco Cartel New Generation (Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación – CJNG) will try to infiltrate the supply-chain and steal vaccines en route to local hospitals.
SEE ALSO: Mexico Cartels Hand Out Food Amid Coronavirus Pandemic
If an organized crime group were to succeed in stealing vaccines, they could distribute false vaccines under the guise of selling the stolen doses. Given the role Mexican cartels have played in providing pandemic assistance to local communities, citizens may trust the vaccines are authentic, creating a false sense of security that could lead to greater community spread.
Data Gathering
On January 5, the Secretary of Health for Mexico’s state of Quintana Roo issued an alert warning of imposture “vaccine brigades” going door-to-door to collect residents’ personal information. Posing as members of the state’s Secretary of Health, brigades are falsely registering residents to receive the vaccine in exchange for a copy of their voter identification card.
The voter identification card, which looks like a driver’s license, contains an individual’s home address, voter code, and personal information which, in the wrong hands, could be used to apply for bank credit, open a credit card or steal a person’s identity.
Fake Websites
After being notified by Pfizer-BioNTech, one of the companies manufacturing the COVID-19 vaccine, on January 5, Mexican authorities announced the suspension of a website posing as the official Pfizer Mexico platform. The website, whose seemingly official URL—pfizermx.com—and polished interface, replete with company logos, listed a phone number to call to order the vaccine.
In a press conference, Mexico’s Undersecretary of Health Prevention and Promotion, Hugo López-Gatell emphasized that “there is no authorization to sell the vaccine. If someone claims to be selling you the COVID vaccine, they are committing fraud and putting you at risk.”
SEE ALSO: Six Ways Coronavirus is Impacting Organized Crime in the Americas
As misinformation on the pandemic surges, online scams promising vaccines or reserved spots in line are likely to increase, as opportunistic criminals look to make a quick buck on the public health crisis.
Fake Tests
In Cancún, Mexico negative COVID-19 test results are being sold to tourists on social media platforms. Canadian tourists in need of a negative test to return home, are being charged $100 dollars for forged results which are sent to them within the hour, according to an article from Le Devoir.
Back in November, the Associated Press reported a similar scheme in Paris, where fake negative test results were being sold to travelers at Charles De Gaulle airport for $180 to $360.
Global travel restrictions have created a market for negative COVID-19 results, which looks poised to grow as countries seek to prevent the cross-border spread of new virus strains by requiring all international travelers to present a negative test result to gain entry.
The COVID-19 pandemic has already bred numerous illicit economies, but few as potentially harmful as the falsification of COVID-19 vaccines. As vaccination programs ramp up across Latin America, scams selling access to the coveted liquid are likely to continue, with victims bearing both the financial and health consequences.

Before I get to the interviews I want to thank all of you who have written emails with suggestions for interviews and messages of encouragement to me. Looks like most of the haters have stopped listening to the show. I don’t know but thanks. I even got a really sweet review in Apple Podcasts from one of you so thank you all for being so kind.
I have emails I want to read from you listeners out there but I will bring you those in the coming weeks,. Let’s get to our first interview.
Provecho Restaurant Panque Paninis Pizza y Mas
Contact Information For Provecho in El Tuito
- Facebook Page
- Phone Number +52 322 171 7818
I told you I took three trips up to El Tuito this time down. It had to do with time management issues really, but the truth is there is so much happening in and around the town of El Tuito and many of our friends who we have met and interviewed through the years are doing new and interesting things in this ranch town just 50 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta by bus. For like 28 pesos or about a buck and a half US each way.
One of those interviewees, was Matty and Jessie Jamez who have a bed and breakfast in town called The Gem of El Tuito, and now they have a new venture, a pizza and penne sandwich restaurant called Provecho. Provecho is a Spanish word you would use instead
of Bon Appetite. You would say Provecho. Let’s go right now to carb up in Tuito. Let’s see what Matty and Jessie are up to in the town known for cheese and raicilla, Matty Jamez….Provecho, Panque Paninis Pizza y Mas, El Tuito, Cabo Corrientes, Mexico….
Listen to The Podcast
Okay thank you Matty. I have links and pictures and instructions as to where to find them at www.puertovallartateavelshow.com.
The are right down the street from that bus bench….okay…the story about the bench….I told you I took three trips to El Tuito this time down, and I spent a lot of time, sitting on those benches waiting for my bus. …every time, the same cast of characters were at the
The Bus Bench in El Tuito
stop. Older guys, like In their 70’s sitting there shooting the shit. Rating the towns women as they walked by. Making comments on each one no matter the age by the way.
Oh, that’s so and so’s cousin or wife or daughter. One of them, every time I walked up would say something to those gathered around that the Burro was here. He was
referring to my daypack. It’s kinda fun sitting there, knowing exactly what they are saying while at the same time, they have no clue I can speak Spanish. For these guys, I just played dumb. It’s much more entertaining. There’s more stories I can tell you about that bench, but that will have to wait for another time.
The next interview is one I rushed to the top of the heap just because, with the lack of vacationers in paradise, we are more than likely going to need help feeding the most vulnerable in Vallarta, and so that means we should have a visit with Jimmy Plouff from Vallarta Food Bank.
I asked Jimmy where he wanted lunch I’m buying, and he said how about Nacho Daddy. So, I wandered down to Nacho Daddy where I saw Tammy and Sean. I set up my microphones and recorder in the middle of the table, ordered some beers and a bowl of chili for myself, I can’t remember what Jimmy ordered but it looked good. We finished eating and then got to talking about the incredible journey so far, and what is coming up in the future.
Let’s go right now to a table in the middle of one of our favorites, Nacho Daddy, and let’s talk again with my buddy Jimmy Plouff, of Vallarta Food Bank, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
