Yes brothers I've RTFF con mucho gusto and have a good idea of what to look for and expect. I'm from the midwest and will be in SD in June for some business. Thinking of visiting Tijuana and Mexi. Are both worth visiting or should I pick one. Feel free to pm me.
Gracias
[QUOTE=Buster Hymen;1741346]I have been going to Tijuana for 30+ years. I have been going there quite often recently since they killed the SW scene in SD. About the only thing that doesn't get mentioned very often is the fact that these girls tend to be a bit shy, and don't generally go for anything but CBJ and CFS, with their strong Catholic upbringing and all. They have been taught by the health authorities to fear semen, and most will do anything to avoid it.[/QUOTE]I spend a lot if time in the Zona between 1996 and 2008. Had no trouble finding bar girls that would do BBBJ first time up. Almost all would do it after 2-3 repeats. Even had a number of BBFS girls after I became a "regular" with them (fortunately I'm older and wiser now.). First, negotiate before you go to the room. Second, find a hottie and become her (actually one of her)"regular (s)."

My little head often times thinks more than my big head.
Well, I did it for the second time. I went to the red light district in Tijuana. I don't think that I'll ever pay for an escort off of Backpage or Craigslist again. I'll also skip all the street walkers we have out here. The ones in Tijuana are adorable. I'm a full-blown honky and I'm not having any problems down there although I do go during the day. I have yet to go into the established clubs though. I have seen some of the women from inside step outside for a little bit. Those girls are model material. I usually just pick up an adorable little teen up the street for 20 smackers and then pay 5 bucks for the hotel. In fact I think I'm going again tomorrow.

For those that have never been to Zona Norte in Tijuana, here's what you can expect.
Hey Chris1 is that you at the 3:48 mark?

Spot on, my friend! It's unreal down there. I'm going again Saturday morning to beat the line back. I was thinking of going Friday after work but am worried about the after hours.

Picked a girl named Gabriella off the street an took her up to a 6 dollar hotel. She wanted an extra ten to take off her top. I've been cheap lately and avoid any type of upsell unless its all holes open. Did the mish thing. Damage was the same as my previous experiences. Also learned something. Went early to avoid line. The line sucks.

I was in Tijuana 3 weeks ago, and on the way back in front of me was 2 young guys trying to get back to the USA one guy got through with no problem. The 2nd guy I over heard him saying,"I lost my passport and picture ID in the beach". Now this dude looked like he just climbed out of a dumpster. His face was severely sun burned, his clothes were dirty and torn, and he seemed like he was very intoxicated. The customs dude asked him where he lived and a few other questions. 3 minutes later he walked right through and had his backpack scanned and he was home. Might be worth a try.

Just bring a valid US state I'd and don't be shady like the last poster said the guy who was hassled looked. They'll ask if you are bringing anything back, if so be honest (and of course legal) and you'll be fine. They may ask what brought you south so just tell them you went on vacation and chilled. No need to sweat the details, they know we like p*why. LOL. As far as your race/age demographic, just go during sunlight hours is my opinion...it doesn't get dark until almost 8 so you'll have plenty of time. I've been there at night and I was comfortable bc there are plenty of police out, but I'm also VERY vigilant and aware of my surroundings at all times so just know your own comfort levels. One last thing, the escorts that are posting online are apparently all GFE as opposed to the street girls in the zona (more of a wham bam type deal) so if that's your preference look that up...Be Safe.
How time slips away. I haven't been down to Tijuana brothels in almost 2 years, mind you I was a regular from about 1997 to 2010, had my fill, anyway my question is. What are the wait times like to get back in USA? By foot and by car? Weekends, evening and late evening returns?

This is updated regularly and you can even "see" what it currently looks like using the camera feature. Shows both pedestrian and vehicle waits.
Border wait times can vary a lot. I believe the lines are shorter later in the week on Wednesday and Thursdays. Your best bet is to check ([url]http://apps.cbp.gov/bwt/[/url]) & ([url]http://bordertraffic.com[/url] ). Bordertraffic. Com has free live web cams that show long the lines are. I normally try and cross back over around 3 or 4pm.

Thanks Hargow and the other reply, I went last weekend and the border walk line to return at 7:30 AM last Sunday was 2. 5 hours, I took one of those vans for a $5. 00 fee and made it through in about 25. 30 minutes max. I posted my experience on the International boards.
Thanks, The Tall Man.

I think the last time I bought brand name Viagra it was about $13 for a 100 mg pill. I have the pharmacist split it with a razor blade for me and then I take half and trash the other piece. I have not found the 50 mg or 25 mg variants in single pill packages. Large discounts are available if you buy a package with about 4 pills. I just buy a single pill because I don't want to be walking around Mexico with drugs in my pocket. Generics are available for less money. Sometimes you will find a pharmacist with a baggie of Viagra in his pocket and he will sell for about $6 each.
I'm looking to do a day trip to Tijuana, but don't know it at all. If any fellow monger wants to make a trip and show me what's what, I'll spring for booze and food. Especially if you know how to score some BB action down there. I'm looking to do this in the next few days. PM me if you're down to help a fella out.
Finally had a chance to go into one of the finer establishments. A friend and I wandered the streets befor finally settling in to Adelitas. My friend is from San bernardino and was like a kid in a candy store. He wanted every chick we walked by. I convinced him to take his time and be patient. We finally decided to stumble into Adelita Bar. We sat down, just began ordering drinks and were immediatly attacked by two of the hottest girla I've ever seen. Withing seconds, tits were out, asses werw grinding and we were on our way upstairs. No upselling and compensation wasn't even discussed until after the fact and was initiated by me. Girls name was Lola. About 22 years old, firm D's, shaved, burgundy hair and a tight ass body. Will repeat. Damage. 6 room 0. 015. Well worth the 3 hr linea. I'm ordering a sentru pass.

In more than 30 years of mongering in more than 20 countries, I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the strip club scene. I was wrong. I was very wrong, and found myself wishing I hadn't wasted any time at Spearmint Rhino in Las Vegas last weekend and had instead got my a$$ down to San Diego.
I was in town for business, and while at dinner on Tuesday, a business associate of mine asked the busboy if there were any decent strip clubs in the area. He mentioned Cheetahs and another place I can't remember in San Diego, but said there was no place better than the Hong Kong Gentlemen's Club in Tijuana. I opted out of Cheetahs, and instead hit the hotel gym and got some work ready for the next day. At lunch on Wednesday I has the opportunity to get feedback on my friend's trip to Cheetahs. Overall, he gave it a 5 out of 10, and had spent roughly $250 over the course of a couple hours, but received nothing more than some tame lap dances. He must have left with a serious case of blue balls because he wanted to know if I was up for a trip across the border. Wednesday was out, as I had a major presentation on Thursday, so I figured a trip to Tijuana would be an okay way to cap the evening.
I ended up getting some logistical information from a trustworthy local during the workday, but as it turned out it was pretty self explanatory. I was advised not to drive into Mexico, but instead just park the rent a car in one of the lots at the border and simply walk across. I also was told that pretty much any cabbie would know where the club is, and not to pay more than $5 for the trip. Getting to the club actually turned out to be absolutely trivial, and a little over an hour after we left the hotel we were at the club (around 7PM)
Firstly, the club is in Mexico, so being able to speak Spanish is a huge advantage, if only for logistical and negotiating purposes. After about 20 minutes of being pestered by the wait staff every few minutes, I managed to get a fellow (waiter, maître the'?) to act as sort of our liaison. I don't think $10 has ever afforded me better service. Almost immediately, his English became more than adequate to assess our needs, and soon he brought over two honeys each matching our desired criteria. My buddy's date immediately sat on his lap and began whispering in his ear while she took the drink out of his hand and placed it on one of her perfect boobs. She was a darker skinned hispanic that I would guess was 28, and roughly 5'4".36C-24-36, and 115lb. It didn't take long for them to "arriba", and I didn't see him for an hour.
The dancer that sat next to me was a bit more reserved, and for a second I thought I was going to need a replacement. I'll call her "Miranda" and she is lighter skinned, and probably around 25. Her 5'3" frame is "spinner" like with the exception of her perfect, natural 34D bust. I offered to buy her a drink, which she accepted, and so I did my best to chat a bit while I looked around the room for a possible replacement. While she is a 8 to 9 on anyone's scale, there was a seemingly endless supply of them in the club, so I figured if she didn't warm up to me by the end of her drink I would simply bid her adieu. A couple of minutes later I asked her to repeat something (my Spanish is passable, but not perfect, and the club noise didn't help) , while at the same time a blonde caught my attention. Miranda noticed my gaze, and then scooted closer to me and said in English,"I'm better than her". Now that the ice was broken, I smiled back at her and said "Can you prove it". I repeated in Spanish, and she said for $70 she would remove all doubt. I countered with $55 and she led me out of the club to the hotel next door. There is a charge for the lady's robe as she leaves the club, and the hotel room has a 30 min / 60 min charge, but Miranda coached me through this and I ended up spending less than $25 for these services.
We got to the room and Miranda immediately stripped everything but her shoes and her earrings. She then helped be get undressed while I took in the view. Once I was naked she leaned into me and gave me a better than average kiss. From there she dropped to her knees, and did a great job of BBBJ with some BLS and great eye contact. I was almost to pop, and so I lifted her up off the floor and set her on the bed. She expertly applied the raincoat and slowly guided me into a much tighter than average missionary pose. Miranda is an exception to the old adage: "Tall woman deep pussy, short woman all pussy", as I had to be careful not to bottom her out with too much force. We flipped and she gave a cute yell as she did her cowgirl impression. Her breasts were absolutely 100% perfect (think Salma Hayek but perkier) , and I squeezed them for all they were worth as she rode me.
I was getting close again, and she stopped and told me "Now you won't forget me". She asked me to stand by the side of the bed, and she flipped over on her back and hung her head over the edge. She reached up and gently removed the cover and then guided me into the best DT I can remember. Her pussy might have been shallow, but her throat was bottomless. She wrapped her arms around my glutes and rhythmically pulled me deep then shallow. A little more BLS, and I was 99% of the way there when she stopped, quickly got up, knelt in front of me, put my hands on the back of her head and looked up at me. I'm pretty certain Miranda has no gag reflex and she did an exceptional job of sucking me completely dry and not spilling a drop.
I ended up giving her $20, to total the $75 she initially asked for, and she gave me a smile and a hug.
As previously arranged, I returned to the bar, and found my work associate doing some breast cancer inspection work with a dancer. Apparently at this club, you can stop pretty much any random dancer, and for $2 you can feel her up. Including the price of gas and parking, I spent less than $200 and had a great time. I know that this will not be the last time I visit Tijuana.

So after a week off of work and tired of the same old SW, massage paroles and BP girls in LA with being over priced for some lame attempt of having a good time, I decided I need to travel a bit to get more bang for the buck. Just got my car tuned up, read all the report, have alibis established, and what money to have fun. Just wished I had Monger friends that felt the same! So now the questions I have and believe me I been rtfr! Just a little help, more advise really. I'm looking to do my first 3 some and I don't mean one girl looks on and waits for her trun, I talk GFE type. Will I have to use an escort for that, and will it cost me a lot? Will a SW girls do it? Will bg do it? If not I don't mind. Next is I'm dark, but have no Spanish speaking skills. And I'm going alone. I understand the Safty part, you guys think some group would mind if I just tag along with them? Last is I'm leavening abot 10 pm LA time and should be at the boarder at 12 am. Plan to stay till 3 or 4 am. Is this a good idea for a Tuesday night Wednesday mourning? Or should I just ask one of you guys to see if you want to meet? All I know is I'm going, with or without help, but would love advise! Please feel free to PM me!

Best bet for a totally interactive 3-some used to be some of the dive bars along Revolution (Isis, Unicornio, Equipales). They had ladies there who had been around the block a few times and, because of slow business in those places, were up for almost anything. You just had to sort through the real dogs to find a couple of keepers. Those places are closed now and I don't know where the ladies have gone. My experience in the popular bars (Chicago, Adelitas) has been what you are trying to avoid. Two girls taking turns on you. I think street girls would be a real ling shot. These days you might try Hong Kong. Maybe a couple of the girls in the lesbian shows. Or, you might have to go the escort route. The important thing would be to negotiate up front and make sure the girls understand that you want two girls who want to be with each other (which, for you, would mean you need at least one of them to understand a little English).
I used to go weekdays at about 11:00 pm and stay till maybe 4:00 am. I remember good selection of girls and not a lot of customers. Meaning some good deals were to be had. Also, at Adelitas, no line to check in for the hotel room. Again, don't know about present time.
Finally, you don't need a group. You appear to have been at this for awhile so would be aware of the need to exercise common sense. Same thing in Tijuana. Just stick to the area near Chicago, Adelitas and Hong Kong and don't do anything stupid.
OK, take this for what it's worth. I expect to get back down to Tijuana in October (yeah) and will then be able to speak with more current knowledge. Till then, if others with more recent experience weigh in, heed their words more than mine.
New monger, lurking here a while. Was reading up on goin down south the other day, but not sure I want to get hooked with the crazy waiting coming back. Been trying to research but finding acurate / rescent info is hard. For walking pedestrians, from what I gather there is two "quick" lines. Sentri and passport card. Sentri just seems way to expensive, but pp cards reasonable. Anyone know what average wait times during busy traffic would be like with one? Any help would be great. Also I noticed "the tall man" mention taking a bus back. Couldn't find another post about it, but ran across something the other day saying it can take just as long. In no way doubting anyone, just like to research before I buy. Maybe it's hit and miss for the vans? Well thanks for any help guys.
Just got back from Tijuana and all I can say is wow! So I start the night off by leavening LA at 9 pm down the 5. I get to the boarder about 11:20. Take a right at the last stop and park my car at a 24 hour lot. Not knowing where to go I followed what seemed to be a maze of bridges until I was in Mexico. Now I know it was late night and it seemed like I was the only one in there that night other than a few families walk behind me. Not know Spanish put me at a disadvange, so some guy asked if I needed a taxi and pointed me to another maze to get to the taxi. Then I wall to the taxi area and was ask "taxi?" I said yea and off we go! Hong Kong please .5 dollars later I'm in front! About to walk in I forgot the V pill! I buy one head back and I'm in. I can't find anywhere to sit so I decide to go next to door to AB where I found a seat and sat waiting for the pill to kick in. Sitting there with a water about 4 girls sat next to me in the short time I was there rubbing Jr. Asking to go up stairs. I'm not ready yet and left, but as I was walking out the door, some chick tells me " you going, you didn't F me in the culo" as I began to walk around the block, a sg told me 25 I said why not! Not a looker but when In Rome. I didn't finish but who cares. As I left I went around the corner and went in the Playboy club and went in with a chick to the VIP room where things went crazy! F ing a chick in the room while watching the people in the club was great! Then I got hungry and got some tacos while some chick was telling me in English that she was going to toss my salad and eat the man juice! I was done and off we went! As I was walking out another chick tells me she's better so I'm off with her for round 4! I am spent so I decide to go home. 330 am and I'm in my car 355. Not to bad of a line!

I don't walk across because some times the wait can be up to three hours. Without sentri.

Ok so driving (or bus) isn't bad NOW. Gotcha. Now I understand why the little info I could find seemed to conflict. Thanks for the clarification trike.

What I meant to say about sentri, is I don't know if I can afford it, well willing to pay for it yet. But I prob will get a pp card. Don't even have one yet. Just wondering how much time it really saves. Wow Road your trip sounded of the hook. Never heard of the VIP room at playboys. Might have to try that. As I said I'm new here. Not a civilian, but not far off. Need to read more. Buy the way, think I'm going to start my spanish rosetta stone I've had forever. HA

Now, on occasions I have gone south on a whim and used my CA drivers license. On one occasion the guy wanted to see a second I. D. Card so I showed him my retired military I'd. Returning north is hit and miss as far as the wait time. I have no idea what the requirement is returning on the bus. I'm sure it would be the same as walking or driving.
A couple of friends have sentri and they swear getting the sentri was the best thing they ever did. They constantly go to T. J. I only go once or twice a month.

Trike[/QUOTE]Passports are not required. I have never had one and I've been crossing back and forth for over 5 years now. A gov't issued photo I'd is all that's necessary.

A US citizen is required to present either a: Passport, Passport card, EDL (not issued in CA) Trusted Travelers card (Sentri, Global, NEXUS or FAST) or belong to a Special Group (Native American, US Military traveling on orders). As I mentioned before, I have used my CA drivers license when I don't carry my passport. We are lucky that we can use other documents to return home for the time being, but there is a lawful requirement to present your passport.

And of course a non-citizen is required to present their permant residence card.

Trike[/QUOTE]Now grab your I'd, go get some strange and come on back across. The passport is not a deal breaker. Period.

Yeah it says the same pretty much everywhere. Law says you need pp card. But you can get away without having one. I'll just get one to make things easier. So no idea about how much the sentri card would help just walking back? Just think it would be easier if I could just walk, as long as no waiting that is.
