Is Acuna relatively safe?

Anyone? my dad in law is planning to see a Dentist there.....

The few gringos I know who have places at Lake Amistad still won't venture into Acuna. But admittedly they're a bunch of pussies.

If your Dad is a gringo or doesn't know Spanish, I'd advise him to check with locals or not go.

Anyway, you're rich. Buy him a new set of choppers from an American dentist.

Bs.. it's the safest border town there is
I live across the border and it's safe
