Tijuana Reports

[QUOTE=TheTallMan;2979234]I must agree with you, I just returned from Tijuana, spent the night at Rizo de Oro as Casadas was completely booked. All in all had a nice time as I have a very passionate 30+ yo, not usually my type, but the most passionate, sexy, sex-craved woman I have had the pleasure to make love to in 5 or 10 year, that's saying a lot but lets leave this for another discussion.

It was packed last night, many SW out, I mean lined up the whole alley long, new girls in every club, the closest thing to standing room only in AB and HK that I have seen in 10+ years, must be 4th of July, but anyway I agree that once you consider everything there are no bargains in Tijuana.

Parking over by Jack in the Box costs minimum $50. Up to $80. For 24 hours. The drive from LA round trip is 260 miles so factor in $45. For gas, a one night stay at Casadas or BT is $70. To $115. Then the cost of drinks for the girls (if this is your thing) can easily add $100. To the tab then the cost of the ST girl is lets say $80. So one girl and one night stay and I just counted up about $300.

I'm rethinking the real costs and not to mention the hassle of traffic down and back to LA (2. 5 hours each way traffic jams excluded) along with the risks of all the damn Tijuana beggars and other risks and for $300. You can have a beautiful young HX girl to suit your fancy!

TTM.[/QUOTE]I'm so pissed reading this because I was going to go down Saturday myself but opted instead to make it a Sunday trip. Even last night I noticed a lot more people than usual. I agree that this most def has to do with the Fourth of July. Parking sucked. I usually park my car somewhere in San ysidro within walking distance to the border but there wasn't much street parking to be had. Got a spot in that lot up by the 805 frwy and walked all the way to the zona. Made it a short trip, maybe 5 hours but I'm so wishing I had gone down on Saturday. Ohh well. I do feel bad for all the mongers who come down from LA. Makes me appreciate living 20 minutes from the border. I am curious TTM what the cost of the room was on sat at rizo de oro. Come Labor Day weekend I got to do an overnighter. Moe.

" I'm guessing if you can swing a week night (not Friday) visit you'll find more reasonable prices.

In my 10+ year Tijuana mongering career I did one Friday and one Saturday visit. After each I vowed "no more. " Wednesday was always my sweet spot.

Jacuzzi room however I have the YIP card which gets me the room for $92.

Yes parking was a real ***** on Saturday, traffic everywhere and people scrambling around trying to find a place to park.

TTM.

TTM.[/QUOTE]That sounds like Fourth of July weekend rate. I think the most I've paid on a weekend was 60. Rates might have gone up since my last overnighter though. I did take a SG to hotel Ibiza a few months back which sits next to malquerida bar. Similar look to rizo de oro so as we were checking in I asked the guy at the desk how much for just myself toda la noche. He said 30 sun-thurs and 50 Fri. And sat. Walked into the room with the SG and was pretty impressed I just haven't had the chance to do an overnighter in a while and try this hotel out. My only concern is that it might be a little noisy next to that bar in the alley. I thought I would share this. Might be worth checking out. Moe.

[QUOTE=TheEuro;2966950]Hello fellow monger from Las Vegas. I was wondering if anyone can tell me how I can get access to Tijuana amigos website. If anyone has an account there that they would lend me since I am only in san diego for 3 days I would be willing to help anyone out for some cheap cuties in Las Vegas.[/QUOTE]I have an account there. Just register with a normal device, not cell phone. Not sure why. Anyway, its free but you won't get to see pics. I spwnt the $20 which is what kicks you up to see pics and video. Youll save a shit ton of money from the tips there.

Also for the guy asking who is a provider? If theyre in the Zona, assume they ate a provider. Therea streetgirls who post up in one spot. Then theres street walkers (aka freelancers) who constantly move because they don't have a health card or don't "pay" for a dedicated spot.

Pay in pesos. Learn how to say 200 or three (dos cientos or thres cientos) and "sin ropa". So walk up, say "dos cientos, sin ropa, suck and fuck. " 80% will say yes. Boom it just cost you $13 for FS.

I typically pay 300 or even 400 pesos for sin ropa suck and fuck. For 200 pesos I can usually get suck or fuck con ropa. Many girls ask for $20 and don't get sucked into the 10:1 exchange mentality when the actual exchange rate is closer to 18:1.

Be careful of the phrase "sucky-fucky". To you it might mean sucky and fucky while she is offering sucky or fucky.

Regardless of what price you agree to, it is financially to your advantage to agree on price and service while you are still on the street. That sin ropa upgrade that would be a free addition or 100 pesos on the street could cost an extra 200 pesos if requested in the room. You have the negotiation advantage while on the street with many other options within a few feet. She has the advantage after you are in the paid room, other girls are out of sight, and you are thinking with the little head.

Ditto for oral services. Some even start in with these services without me even asking. I attribute this to the extremely competitive market that these girls work in and not that much business to be had in recent years. 10 years ago and prior a typical SG experience was pretty lame. Enter the room with the chica and she would remove her bottoms and you would have straight missionary sex. Girls would typically state no sin ropa, no kissing and no otra formas which means different positions. If you did ask for these services the girl would usually want double or triple the price. A crazy high quote to make you say no thanks. They've definitely lightened up over the years IMHO. As always it's best to negotiate services and prices in the street if not a regular. I've been to Tijuana so many times over the years that I don't even bother with this and a lot of times recognized by the chicas. I expect most SGs to perform as bar girls and most girls I go up with do with no knocks on the door after 5 minutes. Usual price is 20 USdls for the girl 5 dls for the room and I'll always give a 10 dl tip. If performance is subpar I'll give her 5 dls for a tip. Girls are not as hot as an hk or ab girl but price is 70% less and when you are a regular I think this method works well. The monger who rolls down from LA once / twice a year probably has no issues with spending the money in hk or ab for a better looking chica. I would argue the experience is not going to be that much different. As always, YMMV. Moe.

I largely agree the problem is find a SG that is will do BBJ and do a good job. There is is one girl named Karina / Carina that hangs out near the east end of the alley on the HK side. She has high cheek bones and is very sweet. Carina does CBJ is very willing please. Currently Carina is on vacation for about a year I believe. In many cases I will ask for BJ and the girls want $10 extra. Samantha that hang out in front of the Cascada hotel wants $30 min for a CBJ only and then wants extra for sin ropa. Samantha is good looking, but that is too much for CBJ.

These days I go with the US girls because they are cheaper and more willing to please. These girls will do BBJ and facials without any complaint. The only downside is that the good ones are hard to find. It typically takes 1-2 hours to find one of US girl regulars. There is a few Mexican non-pros, but you have be more cautious about negotiating with them. If I suspect am unsure about a new girl then I will ask her to get naked before we start. If she refuses than I will simply leave the hotel room. Experience has taught me that a bad situation will not get better. It is far better to cut your losses and find another girl. I have also found that girls on Constitucion are willing to do more in many cases.

Anybody tried it? How's it working?

I have heard that it takes longer to go back across. I will probably keep using the old crossing since I park on the east side of I-5. The US customs plans to tear down the old pedestrian crossing building on the east side. It is unclear if they plan to build another facility to allow people to cross on the east side.

The other problem is that the ramps near the river look kind of unsafe and rickety. So I would keep crossing on the east side at least for now.

I just need to break and get a sentri pass so I can just walk right up and cross. The situation with crossing back over into the US has really caused me to cut my trips in recent years. Summertime is also notorious was long waits. If anybody knows a quick way to obtain a sentri pass please let me know. I've heard of different rules and procedures over the years. So not sure. Moe.

Moe.[/QUOTE]I know of no quick method, but standard GE process is not too demanding of your time. I probably spent 30 minutes completing the GE online application plus 30 minutes in the personal interview. In my case I also spent 1 hour round trip driving to and from the interview. So, 2 hours plus $100 is what GE cost me. Total calendar was probably 2 or 3 months from application completion to card in hand. That card typically saves me an hour each time I cross the border plus about 20 minutes each time I get on an airplane.

I've now had it for 2. 5 years and it has probably saved me over 80 hours waiting at TSA plus waiting at the border. It's a huge return on investment for me.

I do have ready lane card but every time I'm on my way back into the US in the pedestrian line, ready lane is just as long as general public. I'll look over at sentri Lane and what do you know, no wait at all. Just walk right up. Sounds like to me I should of just went the GE route back when instead of that stupid border card. Thanks for the info. Moe.

Interview today. In and out in 30 minutes, including wait time. Only one issue. I didn't read the info closely enough. Turns out my passport expires next year and renewal triggers another GOES interview. Should have renewed passport first, then applied for GOES. Oh well. At least I'm a "Trusted Traveler" for a couple of trips planned for late Summer / early Fall.
