Meals in Chapala?
Cristina:
I left you a long response the day you posted your amazingly thorough and helpful response to my request. I'll be damned if I know what happened to it!
I printed out all the info and have it in my travel folder along with the copy of "The Insiders Guide." And I already sent an email to the landlord asking for a copy of Friday's Guadalajara Reporter.
Thank you so very, very much for taking the time to give me all this great info. I am quite excited about the trip, despite all the DOS warnings. I think I'll leave my badge and ID home, though, keep a low profile, and stay very alert.
Thanks again, Cristina!

Meals in Chapala?
Hi:
I am traveling to Chapala next Saturday for a week respite from the Cleveland cold! This is my first trip to Mexico (not counting Tijuana when I lived in San Diego). I have booked what appears to be a nice apartment a block off the town square. My week will be spent on foot, just relaxing and checking the place out.
I am on a fairly restricted diet of 1800 calories per day. I avoid red meat, saturated fats, carbs and go for the protein most meals. Also, I don't drink carbonated beverages. Despite these limitations, I love the taste of well-prepared foods, and I am adventurous.
Can experienced Chowhounds recommend some places to eat and dishes to try? What about safe non-carbonated beverages?
Thanks so much for your time and input!
