Arrested Development - Ex-Pats Mexico

I am not a food critic and many of you may disagree. This may help newbies or those coming for a few weeks. Our Monthly Dinner groups favorites are asterisked in Red. I don't expect everyone here to agree as everyone's taste is different. Some restaurants are not listed because we (our Dinner Group) have not eaten at them.
