Tijuana Reports

[QUOTE=George1950;2743820]Sounds good for last two weeks of Feb. PM me and I should be around. Heading to Veracruz for Carnaval / Mardi Gras. Supposed to be second biggest celebration in Latino America after Rio de Janiero. Been to Vera Cruz about five times but never for Carnaval. It can be a rough town so I got to be on my guard. After Fat Tuesday I'm going to go to Oaxaca, Acapulco, or stay in Mexico City for about a week. Acapulco is a bit expensive for mongering. Too many finders on the street offering their help. Many of the girls speak no English and have these English speaking guys negoiate for them. Adds to the cost. Mexico City can vary from world class courtesans to $10 fucks in bad neighborhoods. The city runs from people living in Beverly Hills type mansions to whole communities built around landfills and dumps whose residents go through the trash to make a living.[/QUOTE]I've heard Cancun and Acapulco are super pricey destinations. Not sure about mex city but most people say stay away and never go there alone. I guess for safety reasons. I recently had some business acquaintances go to Guadalajara and came back and said the scene was garbage and that the clubs in Tijuana were better. I'm under the assumption that the mongering scene is much better in border towns than further in when it comes to Mexico. Moe.

The Tall Man.[/QUOTE]Been to Mexicali once and it was a wasted trip. Girls there think because you made a trip there you'll overpay for lower looks and service. Was so turned off by their attitude I opted for a good dinner and drinks rather than partake. Left as soon as the sun came up. Hellish hot most of the year. Cancun can be outrageously expensive. The rooms in the hotel zone run from $350 to $3000 a night. The Hong Kong style clubs cost three or four times as much. Acapulco hotels can be a bargain. Have stayed at beachside hotels three times for about $60 a night. Lots of SG scattered along the main boulevard along the beach but double of triple the price of Tijuana SGs.

Reasons why I stayed away is people were telling me that if I wasn't planning on driving in and instead parking my car on the US side it would be very difficult to get around. Supposedly no taxis at the border like when you cross into Tijuana. I had someone tell me you literally have to call a taxi. I guess dollars and English aren't widely accepted like in Tijuana either. I guess it's more traditional. I did hear prices were higher. I just thought that was a given. Probably would never even attempt to go in the summer months. Fuck that!! I appreciate any info or responses. I've also heard that Los algodones has a little scene going on there. I've heard of 2 places. Green door and Hawaii club. I've heard some good and some bad but both places are in walking distance from the border. I don't drive into mex. Thanks guys! Moe.

Really not much going on down town, next to the border. There were a few nice strip clubs, with some really nice looking naked ladies, but no indication of any take out service. Apparently the place to go (at least back then) was Bar San Diego, a few miles out of the down town area. Based on my limited recon of Mexicali, Ensenada and Tecate, it's hard to beat Tijuana for action in BC Norte.

There is a ST hotel anout four blocks from the main tourist drag with SGs hanging around outside. Most of the time the women hanging around are small BBWs without the second be (beautiful LOL). I've partaken twice there. The first time was with a tiny spinner who was very compliant and the second time with a Mexico City guera. She was tall with nice tits and really got into the experience. She stood at the corner away from the more aggressive chubbies. Also got with a walker in the tourist zone. Good looking spinner but horrible service.

I'd be interested in meeting up with you down in Tijuana sometime. Don't need you to show me around the zona because I've been going down for about 15 yrs. It's boring. Maybe you could show me some local hangouts. Plus I always like rolling with someone who can speak the lingo but not looking for just a translator. These days I roll solo when I go down. It's just less drama. I always park on US side and walk in. My visits range from 6-7 hrs to an overnight at the most. If interested pm me your contact info. Probably wouldn't be until sometime in February at the earliest because I have family coming in from out of town to stay with me the rest of this month. Thanks. Moe.

Had a pm asking for my Tijuana experience and here's the unedited version. PMs are limited to 3000 characters so I had to trim a lot off this.

Ok, so here's the run down, and I'll paste this into the forum later for everyone.

Park at border crossing area. Typically it's free (street if you can find it) to about $10 for a day. You can find cheaper by driving a bit. If you can skip driving and take the red trolley I highly suggest it if you're not coming back after it stops running.

The new crossing is south end, behind the mc Donald's building. You'll get into a line where Mexican customs asks you to fill out a card stating your length of stay. If only a short time no big deal. I've gone through at 7 pm and had no line. Others have had a line. Walk out and around. Follow the crowd to top of sidewalk where taxis are and say "Adelitas cinco dollars?" He should say yes and usher you to his taxi. Only get in clearly marked taxis and don't pay anyone to close your door.

Talk to the cabbie. English may not be spoken but this is your chance to practice and it'll help you relax a bit. It's about a 10-15 min drive. Do not be alarmed by trucks with guys all black, barclavas over their heads and assault rifles. I'd also suggest you avoid eye contact and do not take picture to post on Facebook later. Do not give them a reason to be interested in you.

The cabbie will bust a uturn, pull over and you'll walk straight into Adelitas. Adelitas never charges a cover. To the right of Adelitas is Hong Kong and they will charge a cover of $5 on weekend evenings but this also covers your first beer. Beers at Adelitas are about $3. 50. The girls at Adleitas are usually $50 to go upstairs. Look around and look for clues. If they're wearing pants (eg jeans) then you can expect their legs will look really bad (scars, cellulite, etc). Get frisky. If they respond in a friendly way to a boob, butt grab, they're more likely fun. Feeling really frisky, slowly see how a fiv goes. I had one girl take my finger out, bring it up to her mouth and lick my fingers slowly. I can nut to this day (7 years later) thinking back to that trip.

Adelitas will be $12 for the room. Back in 2011 it was another $2 for towels, but when I went this last December 2015, I don't remember paying it, then again I was distracted by my evening friend who was super nice.

I always tip the guys who clean the rooms 1-2 $ as I leave the room. That's a shitty job so I appreciate their being there. Hong Kong is usually about the same for rooms however the girls are much different pricing. They'll try in some cases to get you up to $80-100 but if you speak Spanish, you can easily usually get it back to 50-60. If not, good luck and you may do just fine.

Come out and say "la lina cinco dollars?" Or just "border crossing 5 $?" And the cabbie will take you back. Again be nice and practice your espanol or drunken English. Kids may swarm to open your door and ask for tip. I don't. I just smile and keep walking. Generally this is always a good strategy when being asked for money. Just keep walking, don't engage.

When you leave Adelitas, and head towards Hong Kongs, if you keep walking to the curb there an awesome street vendor who tells tacos dirt cheap. Something around $1. 40 each. Go try it. You'll enjoy the show, there's often a street musician (I tip them if they're friendly, playing something nice) and this is usually where I will tip a street begger if I notice they're picking up trash from douchebags who throw their trash on the floor.

The line back greatly varies. Early December 2015, Friday night at 10:30 pm I walked directly up and no line. My friend a few weeks later said he was there about that time on a Saturday and it was 1-2 hours to walk back. Plan accordingly and expect to wait. Dress warmly so you don't regret misjudging your return wait. It's a lot colder late at night.

I use a passport card so I don't push my luck trying to cross with just a dl. These are federal workers with time to kill. I'd try to minimize the drama and have a passport. I got the feeling Mexico may start stopping you from entering if you don't have the right document to get back in the US.

That's about it! I can do a trip right around $80 total. I have some friends who are more $$ conscious who will go into Adeiltas, Hong Kongs, get all horny looking at he really hot girls and then go to the alley behind Hong Kong and hook up with a SW for about $20. You get very minimal service (I'm told, never done it yet) and the room is a little cheaper. So you could do a trip for just over $40 total if you're low on cash.

Actually will be in Veracruz and either Acapulco, Oaxaca, or Mexico City from early Feb. Till the 17th.

I'll have a report soon to add. I'll prob go down tomorrow night and post how the lines were.

I too am planning a trip there but am obviously afraid of all the crazy stories you hear about the violence. Can someone tell me if it is Asian friendly down there? I'm a chino myself and would hate to find out before its too late!

If you can speak some Spanish you'll do much better. If you speak no Spanish beware of the girls who speak some English as they'll try to highball you.

Caucasian, Asian, Afro, whatever, green trumps all.

Unless you're a rival drug cartel, they will have no interest in you. If you go off the unbeaten path you MAY have someone ask for all your money in your wallet.

However, the major violence was back around 2009 when turf wars broke out and the Mexican president declared war on the drug cartels. "Wars on" anything rarely go well. Those days are over. I really only see the cabbies and other locals get harassed by the police for mundane stuff like pulling a you turn in the wrong spot in front of Adelitas.

Stick to the main spot, use clearly marked taxis and you will be just like the 1,000's who pass daily back and forth with nothing but good memories and maybe a stinky pinky ha!

Common sense and the rules you'll see mentioned here even got me safely through a ton of visits in the '08-10 rough times there.

Happy Hunting, Stay Safe.
