Looks like they used heavy equipment and dug a one mile tunnel and yesterday July 11,2015 El Chapo the Sinaloa drug KING PIN escaped from prison.
The last time he escaped it took something like over 10 years to capture him.
Point is. What will this do to the level of cartel activity and resulting street violence in Tijuana.
Only time will tell.
The Tall ManI follow the Narco wars. All I can say is wow, but not unforeseeable. The Mexican justice system is a complete joke.
If any nation ever had a need for capital punishment, it is Mexico.
I don't even know why the Military takes prisoners in the drug wars.

The Tall Man.Have you not seen the murders. 14 alone in a month a the zone. Only problem is the we're too busy with our dicks to heed the warning signs. Its here. The cartel wants Tijuana back and they are killing those that left as traitors. It's here. They are going to want to send a message and as a collateral, yes that means us civilians will get hit soon.

The Tall Man.Amazing. And the Mexican gov't was all butt-hurt when the US wanted to extradite him because they didn't think the Mexicans could hold him. Looks like they were right.
A fucking tunnel, a mile long, 5 feet high and about 3 feet wide. For a mile. And nobody noticed. Right.

Civilians (you meant American and other visitors) weren't hit then, what makes you think they'll be hit now?
It makes absolutely no business sense to start offing your customers and totally pissing off the country that contains your biggest market. Can you imagine how the US gov't (with a Republican in the White House) would escalate the "War on Drugs" if bunches of US citizens started getting offed in cartel firefights?
Now that doesn't mean that some hapless gringo, walking down Coahuila, might not get caught in the crossfire. But I have it on good authority that the Zona Norte is the safest place in Tijuana and that all other places are much more dangerous. LOL. As for me, I tend to get my jollies outside of the Zona these days, so I'll just have to take my chances.

Yes, I had my first working girl when I came to visit a close friend from the midwest. Took me down when he had a gig to play on revolution. Was in a band and had many of the perks. I've seen it change over the decades. Moved to SoCal from NoCal back in 2004. Yeah, I was around. It was night and day. You can see the difference in tourism go down when the SH*T hit the fan when the war broke out. Americans HAVE been offed, problem is they were not white or asians. These were Mexican Americans, citizens themselves. Had a coworker lose her father when he went down to go on a fishing trip from Ensenada in 2009. I'm not pointing out a few, I pointing out thousands of innocent Mexican Americans along the border towns. Doesn't make the news because these are Mexican Americans. Yes it gets mentioned but does not get repeated over and over in the media. Don't want to go into a full bunch of word sentences and paragraphs but I'm more of a short and to the point. HK is the only club that pats down people that goes to the door and even that is minute. Hell, I've seen guys bypass the pat down and I'm one of them. Yeah, I too venture out away from the zone to the rio zone and other places and its fun. Tijuana does have things to offer outside the zone. Now, I was there during the Valentine weekend when there was a shoot out at one of the clubs at the zone. Even though it did'nt happen in HK or AB does not mean it did not happen. Another one happened a few weeks later. Yes gangs target other gangs and we will get caught in cross fires. Last year, I was sitting in AB and 2 gang members were flashing hand signs at each other calling each other out across from the old main stage. I've even had a FOB (yes an Asian brother) flash signs at me while I was with a chica and he wanted to spend time with her. You don't think these guys are packing walking in the same club as we do? I have a CCW good in 42 states and I've been in LE training classes to identify how to spot them.
Ok so back to the business statement. NO business wants to lose their customers and yes they are payoffs and bribes to keep it as pleasant as possible to both LE and the cartels. We can discuss back and forth and I'm sure there will be others input. Like I said before, it's already here. Look around you. Remember the little kid with the arm that begged for money between LC and AB. He was picked up on suspicion as a spotter for the shoot out last month. This is what kills me, everyone can say it makes no sense (not raking you on this Phord) but it's a general statement. I remember when my eyes were finally opened to my surroundings years ago when I was messing with a chick who her pimp was a vice roy for the bloods. She told me what they do and what to look for. Wake up guys, civilian logic does not apply in the underworld. Nor does it apply when there is a war.
Now, I'm not saying stay away because it's each person's own choice to go to the Red Zone. I'm saying its already here. 14 murders in one month is just the tip. Shoot outs once a month on my record. I remember my college buddy's phrase "ignorance is a bliss" so long as civilians do not see what's going and the smoke and mirrors are still there we will keep going. I could go on and on but I really don't want to get into a debate. Not harping on you Phord, you contribute a lot. Don't fall into the trap of it makes no sense. That logic does not apply to outside of civilian life.
I was there on Valentines day and saw the whole bloody mess. Like you I have been going down to AB since 2003. On that day of the shoot out near the NY bar, I was shaken down by policia for $100. I have never had issues and was not doing anything wrong. You can read my posts around Feb 14th for more details. I'm not going back as my eyes were OPENED pretty wide.

Hopefully the Mexican govt deploys army troops in the mean time. But I think the long term solution is to increase pay for the cops. The other step would be to have some sort of international supervision for law enforcement internal affairs. I doubt however the Mexican govt would ever agree to this. ?

Each vehicle had a full auto suppression machine gun (M60) on top with a gun man.

There were 3 in each bed of the trucks. This is the second time I've seen them. Don't know if it made me feel safe or scared knowing this is the kind of fire power needed to keep the peace.

Safe is when the day comes when we no longer need to see these and the only time the police is involved is when some John tries to skip out on paying a working girl in Tijuana. Safe is when the day comes when an officer offers me a ride to my favorite working girl bar and tells me to fuck a working girl good and hard. That's safe.
On a lighter note. I noticed the word checker changing the Wh*re to working girl but I can use the F-bomb. LOL.

I came here to check how dangerous was to go back to the zona and after reading all the killings, shootings and dead bodies found in parked cars inside the zona I have to admit I am fucking paranoid of going to Tijuana.
I don't usually worry when going to Tijuana I even stay overnight but it right now is getting really bad. I really like the the girls and the good times there but I will wait until things cool down.
I've been checking the frontera info newspaper and sadly to say the zona is turning into a war zone with killings and all kind of narco murders inside the zona just a few feet from AB and HK.
It sucks. It doesn't matter day or night they are doing the shooting. I read one paradita got injured by a bullet another guy was killed in the Callejon Coahila about two months ago WTF?
I wanted to go but I don't feel it is safe. I've been going to the zona for the past 15 years but let's be honest guys things are getting too freaking dangerous inside the zona.
I rather wait for things to calm down. My chica wants me to go see her but I told her I can't too busy with work excuse.
I hope the military takes over the zone for protection and to push the bad guys away but I doubt it will happen.

When I went INTO Tijuana this morning I was asked for my passport, by a militia guard and reason for GOING to Tijuana! Not the "red / green / baggage area, but just before you get there / at the bottom of the stairs after the turnstyle. Yes there has been a lot of military traffic the past month. To the chicas and ME. It is just business as usual! What REALLY pissed me off was the line at the border was 4 hours JUST NOW! Now THAT is criminal and scary! They (CBP) must think El Chapo is in the GENERAL LINE! Those motherfuckers!

That is one freaky room without windows and soldiers with assault rifles.

God (or who ever) gave us this thing called intuition. My intuition says stay the fuck away. Seriously! As I have said multiple times I saw this coming back on Valentines Day when I saw the dude who was shot in the face and I was shaken down. I warned you all. Please don't get the idea I am some dooms-dayer. I am not but I have to tell you I can feel the real evil seeping in. No pussy and I mean no pussy is worth your life. Back in April I went to Panama City. I would suggest you all take a "monger trip". In 2 weeks I head to China. As I have said in the recent past. FUCK Tijuana and its crooked policia. Strength in numbers!
Please be careful my brothers. H1.

Please be careful my brothers. H1.I agree no pussy is worth getting killed. For the moment I'm staying out of the water until the sharks move to a different beach.
Talking about beach, I was in Santa Barbara last weekend man those wild college girls over there are something out of this world I still drooling. I know I should post it on a different forum, just saying!
I agree. I have been to SB before. BTW. THANKS for not going off on a "You are silly because crime in SD is worse". I GET IT but Tijuana is bad now. And I mean BAD. STFA!

Please be careful my brothers. H1.I'm done with Tijuana for a while myself. Going take a few months in South America and then off to Cuba before it changes. When I return to the states, I may no longer be in SoCal so I'm going to say good bye to a couple of my favorites. Didn't want to spook others and everyone has their own choices. I just wanted to make sure our brothers go in with an open eye. I was talking with a favorite SW in the ally named Alondra (between LC and HK). She is special to me because she gave me the same services as I would get from the HK girls and sometimes more all for a price cheaper than the HK girls. Be nice to her and maybe she might do the same for a fellow brother. She told me there has been many violence and she isn't sure if she will work as often. Haven't seen her in a couple of weeks so I hope she is OK and left for home to be safe. She would sometimes stay with me a little longer when I get a room for the night in Cascadas and just talk about things like what's been going on in life. Treat her kind guys and don't be so cheap because it's already cheaper than HK. Tijuana hasn't been the same lately anyways. Girls are asking for $80 or more in HK and give lousy service. HK is already raising the exchanging rates. The VIP has fallen from Platinum to Gold. Gold is a joke now and should be called silver, no longer is there 20% off rooms regardless of night but 50% only on Sunday and Monday. Still free drinks but not the same value as before. Chicago club closed by 4 am even on a Saturday and I'm surprised it is still doing business. Anyways, stay safe my brothers.

All our sessions were F / S covered sessions for 300 pesos plus some inexpensive regalo (except one double length session conducted at the Leyva where I paid her 600 pesos plus regalo).
It saddens me to think she might not be working in the alley later this month when I will get down there for a day or two, but I also hope she stays safe.

What are the changes to the VIP. Only reason I got the VIP card was fir the 20% off rooms and first free beer. If there is no 20% of the rooms then I won't get the card again

.Its posted right at the front door. 50% off for Sunday and Monday only. First free drink and of course drop off and pick up is free. I think it's 90 days now instead of four months. If others could confirm please do so. I only took a quick glance as I was redeeming my free drink. It's kinda a joke now, from 6 months to 4 and now I think 3 months. Still $50. LOL.

Dammm. I haven't been to HK in a month almost 2. I didn't notice it then.
I'll be there frequently for the next few months including 1 Sunday nights so this still might benefit me but if it doesn't by much they can kiss my ass and I won't buy it if it doesn't have the 20% off

LOL.The advantages for ME have been reduced! I was getting only 20% off "the rack rate". I make a reservation on line and save $5. Instead of $10. I don't go into HK on weekends, and seldom as it is! I walk to and from the border. So VIP is no value to me. A few years ago it was WAY worth it! Unless you go to Cascadas on Tue and Wed, and the "extended Short time" time in the room" with chica's approval and Saturday drink and entrance to HK, makes it worth it!
I've been around since I was young dumb and full of cum. Yes, I had my first working girl when I came to visit a close friend from the midwest. Took me down when he had a gig to play on revolution. Was in a band and had many of the perks. I've seen it change over the decades. Moved to SoCal from NoCal back in 2004. Yeah, I was around. It was night and day. You can see the difference in tourism go down when the SH*T hit the fan when the war broke out. Americans HAVE been offed, problem is they were not white or asians. These were Mexican Americans, citizens themselves. Had a coworker lose her father when he went down to go on a fishing trip from Ensenada in 2009. I'm not pointing out a few, I pointing out thousands of innocent Mexican Americans along the border towns. Doesn't make the news because these are Mexican Americans. Yes it gets mentioned but does not get repeated over and over in the media. Don't want to go into a full bunch of word sentences and paragraphs but I'm more of a short and to the point. HK is the only club that pats down people that goes to the door and even that is minute. Hell, I've seen guys bypass the pat down and I'm one of them. Yeah, I too venture out away from the zone to the rio zone and other places and its fun. Tijuana does have things to offer outside the zone. Now, I was there during the Valentine weekend when there was a shoot out at one of the clubs at the zone. Even though it did'nt happen in HK or AB does not mean it did not happen. Another one happened a few weeks later. Yes gangs target other gangs and we will get caught in cross fires. Last year, I was sitting in AB and 2 gang members were flashing hand signs at each other calling each other out across from the old main stage. I've even had a FOB (yes an Asian brother) flash signs at me while I was with a chica and he wanted to spend time with her. You don't think these guys are packing walking in the same club as we do? I have a CCW good in 42 states and I've been in LE training classes to identify how to spot them.
Ok so back to the business statement. NO business wants to lose their customers and yes they are payoffs and bribes to keep it as pleasant as possible to both LE and the cartels. We can discuss back and forth and I'm sure there will be others input. Like I said before, it's already here. Look around you. Remember the little kid with the arm that begged for money between LC and AB. He was picked up on suspicion as a spotter for the shoot out last month. This is what kills me, everyone can say it makes no sense (not raking you on this Phord) but it's a general statement. I remember when my eyes were finally opened to my surroundings years ago when I was messing with a chick who her pimp was a vice roy for the bloods. She told me what they do and what to look for. Wake up guys, civilian logic does not apply in the underworld. Nor does it apply when there is a war.
Now, I'm not saying stay away because it's each person's own choice to go to the Red Zone. I'm saying its already here. 14 murders in one month is just the tip. Shoot outs once a month on my record. I remember my college buddy's phrase "ignorance is a bliss" so long as civilians do not see what's going and the smoke and mirrors are still there we will keep going. I could go on and on but I really don't want to get into a debate. Not harping on you Phord, you contribute a lot. Don't fall into the trap of it makes no sense. That logic does not apply to outside of civilian life.Your point is well taken. I think I mis-read your original post. I thought you meant that the cartels were going to start going after "soft targets" like tourists. I had a fave back in the old days whose brother, a cop, was found beheaded. So, the violence hit pretty close to home. But, then and now, I've read no credible reports of tourists getting killed by the cartels. If you have some, I'd really like to see them.
It may not make a lot of sense, but it is a business. It's run by a bunch of violent peasants, and they all act like it, but it is a business.
I have no idea of one's odds of getting caught in cross-fire these days, but it still seems pretty small. Having said that, I have long felt that the Zona is an open sewer and I'm always surprised at the guys who like to spend days there. No criticism, it's just not for me.
Don't ever have the false sense of seeing fire power as safe. Safe is when the day comes when we no longer need to see these and the only time the police is involved is when some John tries to skip out on paying a working girl in Tijuana. Safe is when the day comes when an officer offers me a ride to my favorite working girl bar and tells me to fuck a working girl good and hard. That's safe.
Shit news travel fast. I came here to check how dangerous was to go back to the zona and after reading all the killings, shootings and dead bodies found in parked cars inside the zona I have to admit I am fucking paranoid of going to Tijuana.
I don't usually worry when going to Tijuana I even stay overnight but it right now is getting really bad. I really like the the girls and the good times there but I will wait until things cool down.
I've been checking the frontera info newspaper and sadly to say the zona is turning into a war zone with killings and all kind of narco murders inside the zona just a few feet from AB and HK.
It sucks. It doesn't matter day or night they are doing the shooting. I read one paradita got injured by a bullet another guy was killed in the Callejon Coahila about two months ago WTF?
I wanted to go but I don't feel it is safe. I've been going to the zona for the past 15 years but let's be honest guys things are getting too freaking dangerous inside the zona.
I rather wait for things to calm down. My chica wants me to go see her but I told her I can't too busy with work excuse.
I hope the military takes over the zone for protection and to push the bad guys away but I doubt it will happen.
I just got back. When I went INTO Tijuana this morning I was asked for my passport, by a militia guard and reason for GOING to Tijuana! Not the "red / green / baggage area, but just before you get there / at the bottom of the stairs after the turnstyle. Yes there has been a lot of military traffic the past month. To the chicas and ME. It is just business as usual! What REALLY pissed me off was the line at the border was 4 hours JUST NOW! Now THAT is criminal and scary! They (CBP) must think El Chapo is in the GENERAL LINE! Those motherfuckers!
To those regulars on this board HT, SB25, GSR, PP and others. Look - Here's the thing. God (or who ever) gave us this thing called intuition. My intuition says stay the fuck away. Seriously! As I have said multiple times I saw this coming back on Valentines Day when I saw the dude who was shot in the face and I was shaken down. I warned you all. Please don't get the idea I am some dooms-dayer. I am not but I have to tell you I can feel the real evil seeping in. No pussy and I mean no pussy is worth your life. Back in April I went to Panama City. I would suggest you all take a "monger trip". In 2 weeks I head to China. As I have said in the recent past. FUCK Tijuana and its crooked policia. Strength in numbers!
Please be careful my brothers. H1.Well, on the other side of the coin, I drive into Tijuana around 3 times per month. I usually cross at Otay, but not always. I drive to hell and gone around town. Outside of the ZN and an occasional part of Revu I have really seen no additional police presence. Unlike the Zona, just about every popular club in Tijuana frisks everybody who walks in, and they've been doing it for years. So, that's nothing new. I rarely venture into the ZN these days, just on occasion to go to La Malquerida.
My point is that the ZN is hardly the only place to find pussy. I have a rotation too large for me to adequately service (or afford LOL), we never have liasons in the Zona, I think I only met one of the actually in the Zona. So, I recommend that guys develop "relationships" (and I use that word loosely) outside the Zona. There are several web sites to use. You'll have more fun, you'll see more of Tijuana, it'll cost a lot less and you'll still get laid. What's not to like?

You have to read articles outside of the US. Media covers what the government wants us to see.

Its posted right at the front door. 50% off for Sunday and Monday only. First free drink and of course drop off and pick up is free. I think it's 90 days now instead of four months. If others could confirm please do so. I only took a quick glance as I was redeeming my free drink. It's kinda a joke now, from 6 months to 4 and now I think 3 months. Still $50. LOL.I hope the 50% off still works for Master Suites.
The discount from one use pays for the card!
The advantages for ME have been reduced! I was getting only 20% off "the rack rate". I make a reservation on line and save $5. Instead of $10. I don't go into HK on weekends, and seldom as it is! I walk to and from the border. So VIP is no value to me. A few years ago it was WAY worth it! Unless you go to Cascadas on Tue and Wed, and the "extended Short time" time in the room" with chica's approval and Saturday drink and entrance to HK, makes it worth it!Yeah, I miss that. Used to be we could bang a girl with a little less pressure to bust a nut. WTF! Yeah, back then, it was well worth it. Even if the Pesos was 12 to 1 back then. LOL.
The cartels are not targeting civilians. There was a story that a American was mistaken for a rival dealer and was taken hostage. The real problem in Tijuana is not the dealers it is the addicts. The police needs to do more to arrest these people and force into rehab.

IMHO Tijuana will still be relatively safe from the Cartels. This is because many of the Cartels have been severely weakened in the last war with most of the top leaders still in jail even though Shorty escaped. LOS Zetas is splintered, its leaders and successors killed. The Tijuana Cartel is weakened after losing their leader to the Clown assassination.
Teo the terror is in jail. Teo used to work for the Tijuana Cartel before aligning himself with the Sinaloah Cartel to try and kill his former Tijuana Cartel boss. Teo was the person most responsible for beheading and kidnapping in Tijuana whereas most other cartels focused in drug smuggling. This was the Tijuana war. It was Teo vs his former boss the Tijuana Cartel.
The Beltran brothers of the Beltran Cartel are either dead or jailed. La Familia got hammered by the DEA. I think that the only ones still strong are the Sinaloah and Gulf Cartel and their traditional battlegrounds is South of Texas.
The cartels are not targeting civilians. There was a story that a American was mistaken for a rival dealer and was taken hostage. The real problem in Tijuana is not the dealers it is the addicts. The police needs to do more to arrest these people and force into rehab.That's a true statement, civilians are never the target but collateral damage does happen more often than not when a fight breaks out. Addicts is one thing in Tijuana but its a HUB for logistics that is the main goal for the cartels. They make more money shipping it from Tijuana than to sell to addicts Tijuana.

They make more money shipping it from Tijuana than to sell to addicts Tijuana.Actually the main source of income of Teo was kidnapping of civilians including businessmen, politicians and anyone else know with money. The only reason that American civilians were not targeted was that he wasn't able to know who was who among us. Thousands of wealthy Mexicans moved to the San Diego area during his reign to escape his kidnappings and murders for unpaid ransoms in Tijuana.
I remembered one time I paid for a chica's taxi home. She thanked me in front of the taxi driver and kid that I was a rich guy. I immediately corrected her in front of the taxi driver making sure that he understood that I only an American engineer. I think we are OK in Tijuana. But then it is scary that a SG (noted below by someone else) is considering leaving the area for a while because of the dangers coming up. After all, she is closer to the heat than any of us.
I could care less about the cartels. It doesn't have to be a cartel member who is doing the shooting. As long as people are getting shot up and la policia are shaking down innocent peeps from the US like me then I am not going down there. Tijuana is the most corrupt place on this planet and trust me I have been to many different countries.

Tijuana is the most corrupt place on this planet and trust me I have been to many different countries.I'm going to monitor things over the summer as my trip is not until September. If I come to Tijuana, I'll stay on the big streets (Revo, Heroes) where there is a lot of people and during the daytime. Then once in the zona, I'll stay at Cascadas venturing outside very quickly to get a taco, cross the street to La Perla or the grill, take a quick peek at Tropical or see who is right outside in the alley in the immediate area. At night it's just between Cascadas and HK (and just outside in the immediate alley just to poke my nose out there to see who is around).
From and back to the border will be daytime (mid day) hours only and via the main tourist streets. So I don't think I'll have much issues.
Interestingly enough, somebody on the St Maarten (SXM) section of this forum was asking about a comparison between St Maarten and Tijuana! Should be a pretty easy comparison these days!
Hi Exoticspirit. On Feb 14th when I was there, the guy got shot in the face and killed 1 block north of HK. Then when I got the shakedown on that same day it was 3:30 PM so day or night the wheels of corruption grind on in the MOST corrupt mongerting spot in the world. One piece of advice. DON'T GO!
FUCK YOU Tijuana!
Peace!

I know I have only been going to Tijuana for the past couple of months, so perhaps I'm just naive. I do go twice a week, sometimes during the day sometimes at night. I don't feel threaten, even at night. During daylight hours I walk into the zona, at night I take a taxi and normally asked to be dropped off along Benito Juarez, stop at a pharmacies, then walk into the zona. I do take precautions like hiding most of my money, walk closer to curb and avoid people who are milling about. I'm very observant and have left early when I get bad vibes.
I was in Cambodia in 2001 when someone tossed a grenade into a bar I was in, so now I always sit way at the back and face the entrance of our habit. I've had my backpack slashed in Thailand, fake arrest warrants in Vietnam by corrupt police. Maybe I'm naive or just a noob. Maybe I have grown very thick skin having been to many third world countries, so I'll keep going to Tijuana, it's safer than some places I've been to.
My friend. My post was NOT MEANT as a decree that you all must stay away. Nor was it meant to scare anyone away. Go to Tijuana now with more info. If it helps great and if not them. Oh well. You seem gifted enough to avoid any bad stuff so keep doing what you do.

H1.I wasn't directing any comments your way or anyone else. Just wanted to throw in my 2 pesos. I'm sure there will come a time when I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time, but knowing it may happen and taking precautions will lessen the ruffles.

You have to read articles outside of the US. Media covers what the government wants us to see.Thanks for the links. I looked at all of them and read about 80%. What we have is a mixed bag of stuff here. I'm not sure that it means that American tourists are getting killed in Mexico, at least not in any significant numbers.
The "tourists" kidnapped in Acapulco were all Mexican nationals. I've been on "guys weekends" but never with 20. Seems odd, but maybe it was legit. But, in any case, they weren't Americans.
The other deaths do raise another point. The Obama administration's "open border" policy has absolutely resulted in a huge rise in crime along the southern border. I think that poor bastard on the jet ski was in the wrong place at the wrong time. And I think the Maldonado case reeks. Somebody knows a lot more about something. She was absolutely a target, not a random bystander sitting in the "unlucky" seat.
A lot of the violence seems to be drug industry-related, on both sides of the border. That's a direct consequence of our nit-wit War on Drugs, but that's a rant for another day.
I'll concede that it may be more dangerous for a Mexican-American because you look more or less like a local, and that may not always be advantageous. But it still doesn't look like tourists are dying in drug shootouts, or getting offed when stumbling onto something they shouldn't have. This is NOT to say that the Zona is a safe place. I know, I was assaulted in broad daylight a few years ago. I just don't think it's that much more dangerous than it was, the recent shootings notwithstanding. I have no idea if shakedowns are up or down. I do know that they've been a part of Mexican life since the Spaniards shook down the Aztecs, so, violence or no violence, that parts never going to change.
Now I may be proved terribly wrong. We'll see.
I too have a selection of numbers I call to tell them that I want to go somewhere other than the zone. I even attend other night clubs like Cheers. I meet some girls who needs a little help in their life but still not in the industry. It's fun. I used to go to Otay route but not as much. Only reason is my buddy don't have the Sentry and its a pain to cross back over at Ysidro. You and I may have similar tastes that we enjoy not just mongering but what Tijuana has to offer. There is a nice night club in the Grand Hotel and the girls there I have met are very friendly. But then again, this board is about mongering. LOL.Yes, I find I have a lot more fun outside of the Zona. Cheaper prices and usually the people who work at the bars don't treat you like shit.
I stayed once at the GH and wanted to check out the nightclub. But Rocky the Flying Squirrel and I were having a 3-some in the room. I was very unhappy with the way things were going (I posted the misadventure when it happened) but by then I was so shit-faced that I couldn't make it downstairs. LOL. But, based on your advice, I'll make a point of going back.
You're right. It's easy to find girls who need a little help, but aren't in the industry and don't consider themselves putas. They tend to be the most fun, generally speaking. The BJ Queen is one such.
We may bump into one another one weekend. If so, the first round's on me.

With all the recent talk of all the things that can go wrong while mongering in Tijuana. There are the Rateros and there choke out muggings, and the recent rash of shootings, and the always present corrupt Tijuana cops (monkeys as Tom J likes to refer to them) shaking us down I would like to share a mongers story from another board.
There are those of us out there that would like to have more than just a play for pay kind of relationship, kind of like a GF thing (myself included) So the way the story goes a 29 year old monger builds a friendship with a girl in one of the Tijuana bars. Soon they are doing TLN's and spending time together outside the bar. A trip to Ensenada and a trip to Rosarito, horseback riding on the beach. Ahhhh so romantic. He really believes he has made a connection and considers her a friend. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago when he receives a phone call from her wanting to get together, he tells her to come to his hotel and she says they can have more fun if he comes to her place. So he gets in the cab and she gives directions to the cab driver over the phone to some spot outside the Zona. They locate her and she gets in the cab and they drive to a spot a couple more blocks away. They get out and start walking. He notices she is not really walking right next to him, the next thing he knows 2 cholo types armed with knives grab him from both sides and demand his wallet money and phone. He offers no resistance, which may have saved him from being stabbed, however the 2 cholos do proceed to give him a severe beating that leaves him hospitalized. The girl just walks away and leaves him 99% sure he was set up. And now for the kicker once he is back in the USA And out of the hospital he makes contact with the girl and she starts demanding the code to unlock the I-phone. I guess we now can be 100% sure he was set up.
I hope sharing this story with the fellas on this board can maybe prevent one of us from becoming a victim.
A few things to keep in mind:
If you are going to meet someone outside the bars maintain control make sure you decide where to meet and when.
In this particular case the RP ignored the signs she was a drug addict and desperate for money, it is something to watch for.
And it might be a good idea to avoid chicas with grim reaper tattoos.
Probably not a good idea to look for a GF in a red light district
And as SGT. Phil Esterhaus (Hill Street Blues) would say "LETS BE CAREFUL OUT THERE'.

To help our fellow brothers, what's this girl's name and club. This will help us all avoid her.Since I have seen some proof the story is real. And have heard a couple stories that confirm she is probably someone to avoid. The bar was Tropical the name she was using was Ninoshka. Chato is aware of the incident and may have banned her. But since these girls change bars and names all the time just look for the large grim reaper tattoo.
I bought another VIP card in June, $50.
It's good for 4 months.I was just there last night damn I knew I forgot something. Should've taken a pic. Oh well, guess my little head was thinking about busting an many nuts as I can before leaving Tijuana for a long while.

.The reaper is large and on her leg. There are other tattoos. Another one is the name Ninoshka on her arm. I think its a middle name. Real name is Dulce if you want more info PM me and I will tell you where to find her on facebook.

Chato is aware of the incident and may have banned her. But since these girls change bars and names all the time just look for the large grim reaper tattoo.Any other details? The grim reaper is pretty common among 30 plus girls in the bars themselves. If you friend can give you a picture, I'm sure he has to has some from back ups, that will identify her easily.
In this particular case the RP ignored the signs she was a drug addict and desperate for money, it is something to watch for.
HELLO! McFLY!!
He ignored the signs she was an addict? WTF? If there is one thing for sure in this world, it's that you can NEVER, EVER, trust a junkie. There are, oh, a couple of million "nice" girls in Tijuana. Why does anybody want to pick an addict?
When you are in the Zona it is more important now to constantly look and see who is behind you. Unfortunately I allowed myself to become complacent a few months back and got mugged. I am so disgusted that the cops have not cleaned up the Zona.
With all the recent talk of all the things that can go wrong while mongering in Tijuana. There are the Rateros and there choke out muggings, and the recent rash of shootings, and the always present corrupt Tijuana cops (monkeys as Tom J likes to refer to them) shaking us down I would like to share a mongers story from another board.
There are those of us out there that would like to have more than just a play for pay kind of relationship, kind of like a GF thing (myself included) So the way the story goes a 29 year old monger builds a friendship with a girl in one of the Tijuana bars. Soon they are doing TLN's and spending time together outside the bar. A trip to Ensenada and a trip to Rosarito, horseback riding on the beach. Ahhhh so romantic. He really believes he has made a connection and considers her a friend. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago when he receives a phone call from her wanting to get together, he tells her to come to his hotel and she says they can have more fun if he comes to her place. So he gets in the cab and she gives directions to the cab driver over the phone to some spot outside the Zona. They locate her and she gets in the cab and they drive to a spot a couple more blocks away. They get out and start walking. He notices she is not really walking right next to him, the next thing he knows 2 cholo types armed with knives grab him from both sides and demand his wallet money and phone. He offers no resistance, which may have saved him from being stabbed, however the 2 cholos do proceed to give him a severe beating that leaves him hospitalized. The girl just walks away and leaves him 99% sure he was set up. And now for the kicker once he is back in the USA And out of the hospital he makes contact with the girl and she starts demanding the code to unlock the I-phone. I guess we now can be 100% sure he was set up.
I hope sharing this story with the fellas on this board can maybe prevent one of us from becoming a victim.
A few things to keep in mind:
If you are going to meet someone outside the bars maintain control make sure you decide where to meet and when.
In this particular case the RP ignored the signs she was a drug addict and desperate for money, it is something to watch for.
And it might be a good idea to avoid chicas with grim reaper tattoos.
Probably not a good idea to look for a GF in a red light district
And as SGT. Phil Esterhaus (Hill Street Blues) would say "LETS BE CAREFUL OUT THERE'.

It's 650 pesos. With exchange 14.5:1 it costed me $44.50. 4 visits paid for the card, which in may case it's 3 to 4 weeks. Hehe.
The managers also comp me beers here and there, so Hong Kong is actually pretty cheap.
I've known guys who had nothing but headaches from the ugly ex wife, no flirt, no sex, no smile, no food, no company, no support etc, just a lot of bitching and ugly fights. He's still paying alimony and child support after 10 years. The wife has been out of work, staying in his home, gaining weight, fucking younger guys of all races a few nights every week after the divorce.
So Hong Kong is actually very cheap.
I was just there last night damn I knew I forgot something. Should've taken a pic. Oh well, guess my little head was thinking about busting an many nuts as I can before leaving Tijuana for a long while.

I don't know of anyone who would in a clear mind get such a disgusting tat.

Or was simply bat-shit crazy?Definitely not my type either but if one wanted to, I think one can still have fun with these types of girls as long as they stay in the bar-hotel rooms and nowhere beyond that. Have your fun and pay her for her time and then leave. When the guy decided to pursue more than this, ie. , try to date her as a semi-girlfriend, that is when trouble started brewing. To each his own but to try and pursue these working girls beyond the hotel room sessions is just asking for trouble. If the guy really wants a real girlfriend, he should have stuck with the non-working girls in my opinion. The working girls are what they are. To turn them into fantasy girlfriends over time will always lead to some type of disaster.

Why would any one smart enough would want to stick his dick into this beastly-looking thing, and go out on dates with her?I have no clue but each person has their own preferences. I too have mine but yeah, any girl that has something as big and gruesome on her thigh is a flag something is wrong. I have a buddy who absolutely love skinny and I mean need a 20 pc nugget meal. He was telling me how gorgeous she was and I would be jealous. He waited a whole week and I remember seeing this girl before telling myself she needs a dozen doughnuts then bam, he brings her to the table. I was quite shocked but he was in love so I wasn't going rain on his parade. Some like the bigger heavy set girls and so on and so on. But, back to the topic of this girl. I feel sorry for the brother who got set up. Screw her, It's better if we keep each other in the loop on girls like this so we can avoid. The way I look at it, to the guy who got set up, please start putting the word out so we can all avoid that goes for all girls like this. And I hope you get better bro. Take care brothers.
I am fairly amazed at some of the hideous looking girls some guys will do. Personally a girls looks are very important to me. If a girl does not attract then I will not go with her.

I drove back in the SENTRI lane after midnight.
There were very few cars, may be 4 or 5 and front of me before the CBP booth.
I took the wallet out to fish out the Global Entry card, only to find out it was nowhere to be found in my little wallet.
The CBP was kind of goofy, asking me leading questions, then told me it's automatic secondary inspection.
There were about 6 other cars, vans and pick up trucks inside the secondary inspection hangar. I told the agent I forgot my card. He told me to park the car and wait. I went to take a much needed [CodeWord134] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134). When I got back, a huge woman agent came over checking on my car. She was looking into the engine bay, trunk, knocking body panels. She then took my passport card to her computer station. She came back, told me I was clear to go.
In all it took about 15 minutes. It used to take half hour or more waiting. The other cars and vans were waiting much longer. If you are sent to secondary inspection, park the car then approach any agent not busy. Don't just wait for them to come to you. Sometimes they just forget you are there.

She's an overall beautiful girl, about 5'5 110 lbs, sweet, pretty, innocent face, nice, clean, healthy, well-proportioned body, smooth, light skin, perfect, perky be cups, flat ab, nice long sexy legs.
She could dance much better than the rest of the other strippers. After her sensuous dance, she pulled up a very nice black fishnet body dress that made her look very sexy and attractive, and stood quietly near the stage.
I was looking at her for a long time, smitten by her exquisite beauty and her classy manners, until I saw her right leg covered with a large Santa Muerte tattoo. It's a huge tattoo that covers most of high right calf. It faded. Looks like she was trying to remove it. My feelings are, girls who put these huge tattoos on their bodies, must have low self esteem, most likely addicted to drugs, and engage in the filthiest sex acts with their gang banger boy friends.
So I backed off on her.
Here is the pic of this girl's tattoo.
There is a few good US girls in the Zona like Samantha or Star / Kayla. It takes awhile to find them and not really sure they are around anymore.

This is the first time I ever heard of a chica set up a monger for robbery and beating. Then she demanded password for his iPhone?
The chicas need to hang out in la Zona and can be easily found. Why should they set up an obvious robbery and battery?
Were there other factors involved? Drug deals went sour? Money owed? Drugs stolen? Jealousy?
The conduct of this chica is very unusual, unlike the nice, fun, gentle, humble nature that I know of most chicas in La Zona. In the past, my wingmen had lost their iPhone, wallets, key chains ect. In taxis of some of the seediest, roughest-looking drivers in Tijuana. They were all quickly tracked down and cheerfully returned for small propinas. So more facts in this case could help the bros better understand the chicas and situations they are in.
This case is serious. This chica and her thug friends could be in deep shit quickly. Did the guy file charges with Tijuana PD? What are the outcome?

A PFP monger PLM's a hooker. Eventually the hooker sets him up for one final robbery after she realizes she has no more use for him as a PLM. He would be an idiot to dig himself deeper into this ordeal. You made a mistake by getting too involved now let it go. Going back to Tijuana to get even and recruit other mongers to help you is DUMB.
I don't see what all the fuss is about. Although I do feel sorry for the guy and I am glad he made it through the ordeal. It could happen to any of us.
I don't understand where the "Epic Tale" is to be found.
The key is only meet and go with a SG to a hotel never to her residence. !

To be honest, I don't believe the original story. All we're really getting is his side of the story which may very well be a vindictive reaction to her rejection. In other words, I'd still screw her unless it turns out that she's a big drug user because I'm only interested in sex.

I crossed on foot starting at around 2:30 PM after arriving at La Linea on a 10 pesos bus originating at 2nd near Constitution. That bus got stuck in a lot of back up traffic in the Sentri approach lane. Soon after I got in line the rain was falling in an extended hard downpour that turned the pedestrian sidewalk into a +1 inch river. It was even deeper by another inch or two in areas of the other side of sidewalk where folks walking into Mexico were walking the other direction. General line entrants were blocking large sections of the Sentri and ReadyLane lines as they tried moving away from areas where lots of water was getting in. Eventually I weaved my way through the crowed lines and discovered there really were practically no ReadyLane entrants right up until the turnstiles. Once I stopped getting held back by general line entrants, it took me only about 15 minutes inside the terminal.
My quasi wingman drove his car through Sentri, staring at about 3:30 PM. It took him close to an hour to navigate his car through the Sentri lanes. He said that the newly configured cement lane dividers caused the water to collect and pool (and not escape) in a large section of the Sentri. QW was concerned that his car might stall out because the rain water had gotten nearly high enough to give some cars problems.
I decided to put this information in the General thread instead of the HK thread.
According to the numbers, I would say it is a dangerous city; 295 murders in the first half of 2015. Here is the article and link:
TIJUANA. With a total of 295 murders reported in the first half of 2015, this year has been more violent than the same period last year, when there were 248 murders in the same period, reveals data from the Citizen's Council on Public Safety (CCSP).
In the document can be seen that in the first six months of 2015 there were also more murders than in the same period in 2013, when there were 279 murders, or in 2005, when there were 196.
According to the crime analysis from the CCSP, the neighborhoods where there were the largest number of murders (in June 2015) are the Zona Norte, downtown Tijuana, Camino Verde, the Jardines section of Playas de Tijuana and the first and second sections of El Florido.
The statistics also reveal that during the first six months of this year, there have only been six kidnapping reported, a figure which is lower when compared to prior years, as in 2014, for example, there were 16 and in 2010 there were 33 in the same period.
Within the statistics divulged by the CCSP, it mentioned there were 73 reported express kidnappings.

http://www.el-mexicano.com.mx/informacion/noticias/1/3/estatal/2015/07/19/871402/295-homicidios-en-el-primer-semestreThe problem with trying to determine the actual danger to your run-of-the-mill tourist is that these murder stats are so terribly skewed by the drug violence. If you go to Tijuana looking for trouble, or looking to make a big score, you'll find more than you bargained for, I'll wager. I'm not intimate with El Florido, but those other areas are pretty shitty and seem to show up in various crime statistic reports over the years. Just for noobs reading this, the Zona Norte is much larger than the couple of blocks of hookers. That's why we say to never stray away from that block of bars.
My point is that, at least in Baja, I don't think it's as dangerous for your average gringo, doing gringo things, as the papers make it out to be.

TIJUANA. With a total of 295 murders reported in the first half of 2015I haven't checked my numbers, but I believe that Tijuana is about twice the size of Baltimore and only has a few more murders in 2015.
The problem is, I tend to go to Tijuana's murder central. Even the block of bars has had some recent murders.
I haven't checked my numbers, but I believe that Tijuana is about twice the size of Baltimore and only has a few more murders in 2015.
The problem is, I tend to go to Tijuana's murder central. Even the block of bars has had some recent murders.Actually, Baltimore, as of now, boasts 171 murders. So Tijuana has a lot more.
http://data.baltimoresun.com/bing-maps/homicides/index.php?show_results=UPDATE+MAP&range=2015&district=all&zipcode=All&cause=all&age=all&gender=all&race=all&article=all.
Baltimore has about 622,000 people, Tijuana has about 1,300,000.
So, I figure about 3. 6 murders per 100,000 people in Baltimore, and about 4. 4 per 100,000 people in Tijuana. So, Tijuana is a bit more dangerous than Baltimore, but only just.
What's the chance of getting shaken down by the police in Baltimore? What are the frequencies of choke hold robberies? What are the auto pedestrian fatality rates? If a US citizen gets thrown in jail in Baltimore, how long will it take them to make bail and what will happen in the meantime? If a US citizen gets thrown in jail in Tijuana, how long will it take them to make bail and what will happen in the meantime? Murder is just one facet of the danger issue.
My point is that, at least in Baja, I don't think it's as dangerous for your average gringo, doing gringo things, as the papers make it out to be.Point well taken.
There was an indecent not long ago in our beloved block of fun. It was a hit on a drug seller. The guy fire 6 shots at the dealer and only one hit the target; where did the other 5 bullets go?
Choke hold robberies are ever present and the police shake-downs as well.
I'm not trying to scare anyone away from Tijuana, but they should be aware of the issues that are real.
As for me, I will continue going on a weekly basis and I will be doing Gringo things.:)

They are gearing up for the opening of the new building and are enforcing laws that have existed for years. They will not even recognize a SENTRI CARD as proof of US citizenship but tell you that is something you use to re-enter USA, doesn't mean crap to us.
Unless they like you then they just waive you through. Talk of charging $22 for a visa as well and that could be enforced too but it gets complicated so you need to google and read up on it.

Preface. I have had periods of long absences visiting HK, CC, TB and AB over the past give or take 17-18 years now.
I just returned having spent yesterday July 24th and last night in Casadas (the hotel above the Hong Kong club). So this makes 4 overnight trips to the Zona in the past 2 months.
My observations. The quality of the girls at both Adilita and Hong Kong bar is way BELOW average. Spending 3 hours last night in AB I was hard pressed to find a suitable girl to unload a weeks plus worth of baby spatter into, and I am not that picky of a person especially when I need simply a release.
IMHO the HK club is not, at least in my observations both last night and on my other 3 recent visits, much better in terms of quality and for that matter the quantity of girls. It was a meat market / sausage feast last night (I. E. Too many guys and not enough good looking fun spirited girls).
As with everything in the Zona things change so hopefully the quality and quantity will improve.
As far a prices. AB is probably in the $50. To $70. Range and HK has bit larger range of about $60. To $100. For a 20-30 min romp (plus hotel room & tips for the cum clean-up boy).
It's at a point where I need to be sure to NOT have any expectations of the fun factor and quality and quantity of girls. Even the SW were the same old ones you see for months or years.
Safety is an issue that needs to be considered in the mix.
I don't know if I will return any time soon.
The Tall Man.

Otherwise things are changing. Stay Tuned.

I keep driving down Friday and Saturday. Never got pulled over for inspection. It usually takes 15 to 20 minutes from the last USA exit to clear though immigration and arrive at Coahuila.
Only one time it was raining and I was wearing a baseball cap. The Mexican immigration called me over, asking me for car registration. She checked it against the VIN number on the windshield then came back to me smiling, shaking her head. I could not understand her Spanish, so we talked back and forth for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile my stupid wingman was shaking liek a leaf he had a few joints in his pocket which he was going to share with the chicas. He was crapping in his pants because if they do a body search, he might go to jail.
Finally I figured out that I gave her the wrong registration fo a similar car but the VIN did not match. She checked it out, smiling broadly and waved me through. She was young, fairly chubby but attractive enough with her sweet smile. Of course I would definitely fuck her, CG. Doggie then missionary with powerful strokes, with her spread eagle in her full Mexican Immigration uniform.
Don't wear hats and look like you are trying to hide your face when crossing any border, or walking up to tellers in any banks.
I was down there last night. Crossed about 1030 only one turnstile open a bit of a line but not to bad. No inspection or anybody asking about passports, just the usual Mexican customs checking bags. I agree with Tall Man, not a real great selection recently but plenty of good enough to go around. Key for me is to make eye contact just like with a civil and go from there. Attraction plays a big part for both parties. It does seem that one needs to game these girls more so than in the past. I did notice a lot more Asian guys in HK and not Asian Americans. Not sure if the format is changing. Did spend some time in Adelitas and only saw one that was bangable. I found my old stand by SW so for 13.75 to bust a nut I can't complain. I think SW are the way to go. Find one that you click with and keep her in the rotation. I usual bust first then go to HK and Adelitas to enjoy the scenery and if I still got an appetite I will go for seconds. Did notice Federal cops armed with AR15 and masks walking the alley. Not a big fan of a militarized zone but I think they may be a little more honest then the local pigs for whatever that is worth. Overall The zona is the best bet for the money. The clubs seem to be catering more to the younger crowds. No disrespect to the older gents but I think it would be better if one of the clubs perhaps Chicago would focus more on the older clientele that prefer more refined women a little less noise and chaos. I for one would welcome the change and think that a place like that would do extremely well.

First off, I would like to say to each his own. So before you judge just know, anyone who decides to judge, don't give a shit. Now that's out way here's my question. I'm driving down to Tijuana next week and would like to know are there any BBWs and if so how many and where can I find them? From time to time I like to get with a BBW thought I see what Tijuana has to offer.

Great idea! The CC desperately needs The Profit Marcus Lemonis to revamp the business model completely. It would be a great show.
I wonder after CC losing money for years now just how long will they continue to hang on. We all know that the CC owners also own AB so they are sending good money after bad.

But I'm a short skinny Asian dude. So they may be on the thinner side for BBW particularly when compared to a HK girl. But as I recalled, the girls are really nice and sweet, just a little big for me.
Enjoy.

Congrats for your fine taste of women. You came to the right place for BBW.
You should come to hotel Mini's corporate headquarter on Callejon Coahuila and have a date with their Senior Executive in charge of Sanitation. She usually sits in her executive office on the second floor. She's so big it may take you a few hours to find exactly where she hides her pussy under those big flabs of fat. She's so horny you will have a bed-breaking fuck session with her.
Just be careful with her jealous BF. He may get pissed off and try to decorate your face with a brick.

Hey all,
I was wondering about the price structure of the love hotels, specifically Premier, La Mansion, Marbella. Anyone have any info they can share.
Thanks,
BTEach hotel has a slightly different policy, but, overall, they're very similar.
Some have an all-night rate and a 4-hour short-time rate. Others have a single rate and it's good for all night or short-time on the weekends. BTW, you can't stay overnight on the weekends. Maybe you can if you pay every 4 hours, but otherwise no.
Each hotel runs around 350 - 370 pesos for the 4-hour stint. That changes frequently, as they try to keep it somewhere within shouting distance of $25. That's for the "sencilla. " The Jacuzzi rooms tend to run around 650 pesos.
I *think* that La Mansion only has the single rate. I'm a bit fuzzy because I never stay all night at any of the love hotels. I know that El Sueno, Motel Otay, Villa Dorada, Motel Via, all have 4-hour and all-night rates. I haven't been to Premier for a while, because it was a PITA to get there due to the construction.
Great idea! The CC desperately needs The Profit Marcus Lemonis to revamp the business model completely. It would be a great show.

Besides just hunting for the fattest and cheapest hos in La mesa to screw, you guys should watch this movie, Arráncame la vida (Tear this heart out) (2008) to bring up your Mexico's cultural awareness a notch.
It's a rich epic that brings out so much of the basic characters of Mexican men and women, albeit the setting was in 1940's. There were lots of passion, love, sex with some of the most beautiful women and most powerful men in Mexico. Ana Claudia Talacon was very beautiful and sexy in nice, clean, innocent ways as the main character, Catalina Guzman. She looks just like my little Paola in front of hotel Cascada.
It puts such trashy movies as "Revenge" with Kevin Costner and Madeleine Stowe, in the trash heap. Frankly I am disappointed in Kevin Costner to be in such a stupid, shallow and phony movie.

Another day, another new Tijuana experience.
I was down on Tuesday. I had some stuff to drop off, and then Rocky the Flying Squirrel and I were to run some errands, then we were going to get together with another couple and see about getting up to some mischief.
We had finished with the tasks and we were headed back to her place so she could change. We were stopped at a stoplight. The light changed, we began to move, and WHAM! I got rear-ended by a bus. Damn! I was pissed. I hopped out and started yelling obscenities at the top of my lungs. Then I looked at the damage. Luckily the bus' bumper was at the same level as mine. So, there was paint damage, and I figure the Styrofoam bumper backing needs to be replaced, but it was a lot less damage than it could have been.
So, we pull over to the side and, Johnny-on-the-spot, a Transito M/C cop shows up. He collects everybody's license and registration. He asks if I want to just take money from the driver or if we want this to be investigated. Rocky mentioned that an investigation was going to take a long time. I said I figured about $500 would fix it. Obviously the driver didn't have that kind of coin. So, they said they'd call the perrito. WTF? Why do we need a drug-sniffing dog? I was the injured party. Then Rocky explained that it was Perito, not perrito. They are the traffic investigators. So, we cooled our heels until he showed up. He took the licenses from the M/C cop who then blew. He asked questions then told everybody to follow him to the station. We did, and, since there was no parking, we parked the bus and my car in another location. Then we all piled into the cop car for the ride to the station. Surreal.
At the station they guy disappeared into a room to process the paperwork. We sat on our asses in the heat. Occasionally he would pop out of his office, like a Mexican jack-in-the-box, and ask a question. Then a kid showed up and explained that he was from my insurance company. Ahh, that's what the Perito guy meant, in halting English, about calling the insurance company. The kid then proceeded to handle the rest of the nonsense. He took pictures, called the head insurance adjuster, let me speak to him, etc. Then they gave us back our stuff, said that the claims guy would get in touch with me tomorrow, and we were free to go. What a great way to spend just under 3 hours.
We were very late to our rendezvous. So, we all plowed through about 1. 5 large cubetas of beer, then called it a night. Next time.
Rocky then wanted to shoot pool, so we did until we were ejected at 12:00. I was not sure about making the long drive back home.
But then she wanted to go to this dinky strip club in Otay. I will get the name, but I can't remember it now. It's very local, but never let it be said that you can't find hotties in local joints. I'll elaborate in another post in order to keep this one to a reasonable length. And, with 90 peso fichas, the $6 ficha drink days of yore are back!
We staggered out of there around 2:00. I was in no shape to drive anywhere, so we had the cabbie drop us at a shitty motel, where we could sleep for 4 hours for 240 pesos. It was great. The mattress was collapsed onto the baseboard and the toilet ran all night. Pure class. Rocky then proceeded to insist that I f*ck her every way imaginable. Dayum when she's drunk she gets horny. It also takes forever to get her off. Poor me. I was exhausted.
6:00 came really early. We staggered into the shower and out into the daylight. We finally got a cab back to her place, I picked up my car, donated 1,300 pesos to the Rocky the Flying Squirrel Charitable Foundation and hit the road. Fucking traffic. 3 hours to LA.

Thanks for an entertaining report Phord. You got me curious on the name of the otay strip club. And how about the name of the hotel (to avoid). Hotel tijuana is not a bad option in that area. Its a love motel about same price not as nice as premier or la mansion, but never had any problems there.
It reads like you had a week's worth of activities all in one day.Yes, it certainly seemed that way.

Its a love motel about same price not as nice as premier or la mansion, but never had any problems there.I believe the club to be called Yindo's de Culiacan. It's in Otay, near the NW corner of Lopez Portillo and Industrial. It's in a non-descript sort of area and it's a non-descript sort of bar. It was very quiet, being a Tuesday night. There were like 4 girls there, maybe 5 customers not including us. One girl was chubby, one not particularly heavy, just large. I sat and chatted with the one I thought was very cute. Melanie is maybe 5'5" very thin, very light skin, nice smile, dark hair. She almost looked part Chinese, but she insisted she was pura Mexicana. Anyway, standard BG chat. Where are you from, family, kids, etc. , etc. Gave up her digits easily when Rocky was not around. I'd like to find out more, but I'm not sure I can work anybody else into my rotation. That remains to be seen, but if any Senior Member wants to find out more I can PM her number. I could get no pix because my effing phone battery died earlier in the evening.
The music was so-so, but a few pesos (and, as I heard later) a big fat kiss from Rocky, and he'll play requests. Ficha drinks were 90 pesos. Beers were maybe 18 pesos, although memory is fuzzy. Mesero was attentive but absolutely not pushy. Always got prompt and correct change.
The motel in question was Motel Otay. Their rooms vary from terrible to mediocre. I've not been in the high-end Jacuzzi rooms there, which I've heard are better. But Otay is in dire need of some capital investment. The problem with Motel Tijuana is that it's really in 5 y 10, and was kind of out of the way. Motel Otay was much closer although, in retrospect, I would have preferred Motel Tijuana. But at that point all I was interested in was a place to collapse.

Just left Tijuana. Still on the trolley. The best exchange rate by far is at the grocery store right when you get off the trolley. The rate was 15.95. The most common and best rate I saw on the other side of the border was 15.60.
After all these years I am just realizing there is a church between Adelita's and the club that is before Hong Kong. I only noticed because I saw the saints congregating on the sidewalk in front of the door.
A street girl took me to a room that was 25 pesos. I paid with 3 10 peso coins. They didn't give her my change back. I said whoa whoa whoa. And my 5 pesos? She went back to get it from them. I have been to that spot a few times before, but I can not remember paying less than 50 pesos at any place, with the norm being 60. Have we been getting screwed over all of this time?
On my way to the border I spotted a salon that was open and stopped in to get a manicure. It was 100 pesos (or $8). The girl chatted me up. She wanted me to go dancing with her tonight at Las Pulgas. First I thought she was inviting me to a swap meet because in the Dominican Republic las pulgas means flea market or store that sells second hand stuff. She is a special ed teacher and moonlights at the salon. I had to get back to SD but we exchanged info to keep in touch.

I don't know which hotel you are asking about since you haven't provided a location.
The Eduardo Hotel and Hotel San Jose charge 30 pesos. So does Cuartos Venicia during the day and (I think also) Cuartos Teresa. The office lady at Cuartos Venicia tends to charge more in the evening by gouging gringos.
Every other SG hotel that I know of charge either 50 or 60 pesos for S / T rooms. Cascades might be charging more these days. Street girl S / T rooms also vary in rental time length (Like Cascades & El Porton allowing only 15 minutes). Other SG hotels allow 20 minutes or 30 minutes. A S / T room at Hotel Campamento rents for 60 minutes.
I don't know of any SG hotel that only charges 30 pesos for a S / T room.Of all people Scatz I thought you would have a welcome doormat waiting for you at these places.

Wow. You got hit on by a young Tijuana teacher.
If I were you I would delay all my plans and go to La Pulgas to drink tequilas with her. You never know where a few tequilas will lead to. Hehe.
A lot of good girls in Tijuana want to date gringos. Just go on Craigslist and find them. A lot of them are putas, but a few are good girls who look for potential mates in El Norte. Most of them are young single mothers who need to support their bastard children. They make very little money in professional jobs as teachers, lawyers or office workers. A lot of them moonlight in nail salons, saloons, bars, massage parlors. Life is very hard in Mexico for young mothers who are fucked and saddled with bastard children.
A bright, educated young friend was dating an attractive young single mother in Tijuana. At the end of a normal date with no sex, she was begging him for some money to support her child. He resisted, not wanting to pay for dates. I told him his income was about 100 x hers, and still growing with very bright prospects, that he should compensate her for the 45 hours she spent with him doing dinner and movies at about $20 per hour. That would be an insignificant expense for him but a very kind gesture to her considering her desperate needs for her child.
The same guy was trying to fuck a Tijuana bar girl for free, hanging around buying her fichas, but not paying for sex. She invited him a few times to her tiny bedroom in a messy apartment where she lives with her sister's family, but she withheld sex, playing the good girl game, aiming for him to marry her before she fucks. She would not even let him to grope her pussy. She's in her mid thirties and not very good-looking and fucks hundreds guys every year. I told him it's ridiculous for a puta not to fuck him in the first date. But she plays hardball and manipulates his emotion in every way. Presently looks like this bright, young guy is hooked by this old, ugly, manipulating.
The putas are highly experienced in manipulating men. They all play hard games. The price for free pussies can be very expensive, frustrating and potentially emotionally and financially disastrous.

There is a new immigration entrance / building that all pedestrians going INTO Tijuana will now have to enter through. There will be 3 lines. One for mexican nationals one for foreigners staying for less than 7 days and one for foreigners staying longer than 7 days. If you plan to spend longer than 7 days you must buy a FMM Tourist Card $22.50.
What does this mean?
Mexico is doing what the USA has been doing. They will swipe your passport book or card and make you fill out an entrance form / visa FMM which you will need to return to the SAME PLACE you received it BEFORE you head back to the USA. Welcome to reciprocal politics.
Don't Panic. Go with the flow and do what you are supposed to do. Eventually time will take it's toll and we will all see how this plays out.
There have been some reports of pedestrians still entering unchecked while others have been stopped and asked to fill out the form.
What does this mean for mongers who frequent Tijuana? We have no idea until "time takes it's toll".
My advice would be to do exactly what the Mexican Govt. Is asking you to do. That way you don't attract unnecessary attention to yourself.

That way you don't attract unnecessary attention to yourself.This new program is being implemented for visitors to Mexico who enter on foot. Mexican officials have stated that they eventually will go through this same program for visitors entering via automobiles, but have they no start date and say it will be a long time in the future before these same procedures will be used on visitors entering in autos.
This program for pedestrians will likely turn out to be unpopular with Mexican business owners because it could discourage some tourists from entering Mexico. So it's possible that the program could be short lived.
This is bad. About 6 months ago, I was stopped at the border and asked to fill out this form and surrender my passport. It took about 20 minutes for the idiotic Mexican immigration official to process me. And I was the only one there. Now imagine the San Diego hoards asked to line up to cross into Tijuana, in the middle of the Summer, under the August blazing Sun, in the middle of a Heat Wave helped by inadequately trained and undermanned Mexican Immigration.

It makes sense to comply. Also they might share info with the USA and I know my SENTRI card application asked me if I have had trouble with ANY customs inspections or officials before.
Just do the right thing until this sorts itself out.
Stop hanging out at bars before breakfast!
I went into Tijuana Wed night at 9:00 after a two weeks break, sister was getting married so I went back to Hawaii for a week. I didn't notice any changes Wed night, it was business as usual. Walked through the little office with the two traffic lights one pushes for random checks, which I've never done and have never been stopped.. Everything looked the same to me.

It is a luck of the draw should they have you press that Stoplight button and you get the RED light for processing.
BTW. As I am headed to Cuba next week for a few weeks I will not be down to Tijuana so in my absence treat the girls nice.

The Tall Man.How the heck did you manage a visa. I looked into it a month ago and no tourist visa as of yet. One can get a business visa, visa to visit family, or a group tour, which are all booked since the US normalized relations with Cuba. A couple of my friends have dual citizenship so they have been using their Mexican passport to get into Cuba for the last few years and fly put of Mexico. Perhaps things have changed since both sides now have embassies and one can get a tourist visa.

Just buy a ticket from another country such as DR, Mexico, Canada, or anywhere else. Put a piece of paper in your passport for them to stamp instead of stamping the page. And if you did happen to get caught by US authorities then the most that would happen is a fine of a couple thousand dollars.
I just got a conditional approval for sentri. Can anyone with experience in the interview process help me out? I'm thinking of maybe moving to playas and rent out my house in Hillcrest. Should I tell CBP I want to live in Mexico? Or should I make something up like I have sugar mama in Mexico. I can probably rent out my house for 1500-1800 and get a decent place for 500-600 in playas. The rental income can pay for my mortgage and rent in Mexico so I'm really intent on going through with it.
Just not sure if they will reject me for wanting to live in Mexico.

I have depended on SENTRI for years for expedited border crossing. Although I don't recall the specific questions during the initial interview, I believe they were more interested that all the paperwork was in order and that you have a clean record. In dealing with government inquiries, it is generally best to provide only what information is necessary. Wanting SENTRI to visit friends is a legitimate purpose and would likely invoke less scrutiny than wanting SENTRI because of plans to live in Mexico. I'd suggest to keep it simple and not bring up the relocation plans.

Be sure to request Global Entry to the officer and they will add this at I believe no additional cost.
Note that you can also get a vehicle checked and approved. They will do this after your interview and they need to visually look at the vehicle. Don't have any tinting on the front windows as this is not allowed.
Good luck.

My last 2 visits to Zona Norte were in mid-June. Even considering that my visits were on weekday afternoons, I was unimpressed. Low quality and low quantity for both street girls and bar girls. Prior afternoon visits were much, much better.
I'll be in LA next week with Thursday unbooked. Have early Friday LA committment, so I can't stay late in TJ. Have things in ZN gotten better over the last 2 months? I'm considering a drive south for another quick visit.
Also, there haven't been many posts in the last few weeks regarding police shakedowns or thugs or other bad things. Does that seem to have gotten better?
Yo Horse I am usually a weekday tripper. Key is to go late afternoons after 6 Pm is usually when the girls BGs and SGs start their shifts, the better looking ones that is IMHO. Things certainly have calmed down compared to the last couple months. Noticed the fed police were around the zona a few weeks back but that was on a weekend. Also most of the girls have returned from vacations and noticed a crop of new girls. All in all the zona is still the best bet. The exchange rate is at an all time high about 16 to 1 so pussy has never been a better bargain. I say go for it you should be fine safety wise.
Just found out there is a sort of commuter train from La Oc that links up to the Coaster in San Diego. The cost is something like 30 to 40 bucks and will take you down to San Diego that links up to the Coaster in Oceanside then goes to Santa Fe depot in downtown San Diego, after that it is just hop on trolley to the border. Might be worth it just to avoid the drive and traffic for some of you guys that like to come down and play.

The answer is that it is hard to tell. HK seems to back at full strength plus a couple of co-eds from all over doing Mexico their Tijuana summer internship. I suspect that Adelitas is the same. So the popular clubs have their regulars back and a couple of summer interns.
However I noticed that the prettiest chicas in the alley is "on vacation. ".
BTW I went through the new gate structure yesterday. There was no line so it was manageable. But it looks like there is insufficient booths staffing to handle high volume. So it is probably best to avoid high volume time. It's going to be a zoo. Good luck to everyone visiting on a weekend.

But back then the chances of having a Narco as a neighbor was kind of high. Now it is much safer. Keep us update on your moving plans as I may soon follow.

I think you are referring to the Sprinter Train. Connects at Oceanside with the Coaster then the Trolley at America Plaza / Santa Fe Depot.RickyVee specifically was asking about a train line heading into San Diego County from LOS Angeles and the OC. I don't think he meant the Sprinter, which only moves East to West inside of San Diego County from Oceanside to Escondido.
Ricky is likely asking about Metrolink trains or Amtrak trains that serve areas of LOS Angeles & Orange County and both link up with the Coaster in Oceanside. The Coaster will go to downtown San Diego, where the trolly line is close enough for that final travel leg to the border.
Here's a link to the somewhat integrated LOSSAN lines (LOS Angeles to San Diego):
http://www.octa.net/pdf/LOSSAN%20Schedule%204-6-15.pdf
IMHO it requires too many connections and too much travel & connection time for most people to consider it a convenient alternative to driving down to Tijuana / San Ysidro.
I had an pretty good time in Tijuana Friday night / Saturday morning. It was my third visit. When entering I just walked right through. I stayed overnight as Cascadas and did 3 street girls and 2 bar girls. The cops did stop, search, and question me about whether I had drugs or was buyas I was walking around looking for one last lady around at 2:30 am Friday night. But I was surprised and happy that they didn't take any of the $100 I was carrying. I thought for sure they were going to. Incidentally, a guy tried to sell me drugs earlier in the day. But I fortunately have no interest in drugs. Unfortunately however I spent all my money too fast and so I had to head back before the line died down. So I ended up waiting in line for 1.5 hours in the hot afternoon. But it was worth it.

Thanks.
The OP might want to consider the $1 bus which goes directly to the San Ysidro Border from LA. I don't know the website but I do know somebody who uses this as his main mode of transport and it works well for him.

The Amtrak runs from LA, Fullerton, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine, and several more stops south. It arrives in San Diego Station and you can walk across the street to America's Plaza and catch the trolley for San Ysidero. It is $56.00 round trip (Anaheim Station), and the trolley is about $ 5. 00 round trip. If you are a senior it is $ 47.60 & $ 2. 50. There is free parking at all stations.
The total ride is very nice and takes around 3 1/2 hours to the border. Sit on the right side going down (ocean side), and the left side coming back.
If you catch one of the early Sunday trains back there is seldom any line to cross back to the USA.
I miss my semi-weekly runs to Tijuana, but will have to do with my KAMP later today.
Health & happiness to all.

Thanks gentlemen, I appreciate the update. I'm booked until late on Wednesday (9:00 PM) and then again very early on Friday (7:00 AM). Though a late Thursday romp in Zona Norte isn't possible for me, I will drive down for a Thursday afternoon visit. It sounds like things may be a bit better than they were a couple months ago. I'll be down again in September and will then have more flexibility in my schedule.

Health & happiness to all.I just added up what I spend in gas and parking, not to mention vehicle wear & tear and the likelihood of hitting traffic jams, for my trip from LA to Tijuana and back and the Amtrak starts looking inviting.
My gas estimate is $64. Round trip and then I usually pay between $15. To $20. To park for 24 hours so together is about $80. Which makes this look very attractive.
I will consider for future visits.
Thanks,

Apologize gents was not sure about LA particulars. Had to take coaster up to Oceanside from SD. Over heard a gentleman that said he was going back to LA and for him it was more cost effective than driving. Most of us know LA traffic can be a crap shoot and what gas prices being what they are might be better option. Hell just the fact you can relax on Air conditioned train with WIFI and not stress would be worth it alone. Better to be rested and fresh to expend that energy into some young hot pussy. Anyhow just trying to lend some insight to the community who may overlooked train option. Beat of luck.

Anyhow just trying to lend some insight to the community who may overlooked train option. Beat of luck.Another option is that you can take Greyhound right to San Ysidro. Although the bus does have to deal with traffic, it is less expensive and it takes you right to the border. Just my 0. 02.
And if you take the bus or train, your car does not get stolen or broken into, you don't forget and turn right on a red light and get fined, and you can drink as much as you want.
I did a rough math once and came to the conclusion that public transportation would save me about $30-40 per trip. However I would also be compelled to spend 2 days there since I am unable to return at 2 am like I usually do. In the end the thought of standing 2-3 hours in the afternoon on a weekend to cross the border deterred me from using public transportation.
Avoiding the traffic to Tijuana was a plus. Stuck in a foot traffic getting back was a conclusive negative.
I'll try to keep this of reasonable length, and omit enough details to protect the guilty.
Rocky the Flying Squirrel had been mentioning Intercambio for quite a while. Usually when a bit tipsy. I finally relented, but then it became my job to locate suitable candidates, and to weed out the loonies, clowns, flakes, perverts and weirdos. Boy, did I get an education.
I found a suitable couple and we arranged to meet on Friday. We headed to a watering hole we all knew about. The lady was a bit tall, pale skin, nice legs, rock-hard fake tits, nice but very passive personality. He seemed to be a very Type A personality and every time I looked at him all I could see was Tony Soprano. I was pretty excited about my luck, because she was pretty hot, fake boobs aside. Rocky, on the other hand, not so much. She nabbed me on a trip to the can and told me that he was not her type. At all. Period.
At the table, the lady started placing my hands in various and sundry places all over her body, whispering sweet nothings in my ear, and asking me if I wanted her. Well, let me think! Umm, Hell Yes! So despite the semi-public atmosphere we started some necking. I looked across and Rocky was rubbing Tony S's dick and kissing him, but she didn't look too happy.
After a couple of drinks we headed for the hotel. Outside of the bar Hotlips was all over me like a cheap suit. The car was only about 1. 5 blocks away, but we had to stop three times for fondling, groping and heavy-duty kissing, like a couple of horny teenagers. However, whatever the opposite of exhibitionist is, that word would describe Rocky. Tony S was doing his best, but not being very successful.
At the hotel, what was supposed to be something quiet and tranquil got out of hand in a hurry. Hotlips started to blow Tony S. Rocky and I observed for a second, then Hotlips stood up and made a beeline for yours truly. Then the fun really began. She kept moaning in my ear, saying things like meteme como una puta, and stick your finger in my ass. Cool. She planted her mouth on mine and we both tried to suck each other's tonsils out. It became difficult to watch what else was going on, because I could only look around briefly when coming up for air. One glimpse allowed me to see Rocky kissing Tony S, another allowed me to see her blowing him, or at least trying to.
Apparently, Hotlips' fantasy was to have guys treat her like a cheap w h o r e. I understood and was happy to oblige. I also found out later that this was also Tony S's fantasy. I mean it was to treat strange women as cheap putas. However, Rocky harbored no such fantasies.
Next thing I know Hotlips was sitting on the chair I'd previously occupied and my tongue was buried in her snatch. Which, BTW, was very smoothly shaved and was extremely clean and tasty. Huge bonus! This made it hard for me to see what was going on elsewhere. Rocky and Tony S wandered off toward the bathroom area. After a few minutes Hotlips hopped onto the bed and put her legs in the air. I followed and resumed my oral ministrations. Now, not only could I not see what was going on, I couldn't hear, either, due to Hotlips' legs covering my ears. So, parts of the goings-on I heard, the rest I constructed after the fact.
After a few minutes of Hotlips' bucking and moaning, I felt something next to me. It was Rocky. Tony then got on top and started fucking her. He kept asking (demanding is more like it) if she liked it. Then he started asking why she was so dry. I was too busy to pay too much attention. (I found out later that not only were they not getting along too well, he couldn't get hard either. Doubly frustrating, I suspect). They eventually got up and moved elsewhere.
Hotlips then started to really go into overdrive. She would sit up, grab my head and moan loudly as another orgasm hit. Then she'd relax for a couple of minutes until the next one. Tony S came over and she started blowing him in between orgasms.
After several, I forget how many, Rocky had seen enough and gave me our predetermined sign. Twice. Tony S got his clothes on, collected Hotlips, and left. He didn't look too happy. She certainly did. :D
After they left, Rocky broke into tears. Apparently her night stunk. First, she wasn't attracted to Tony. Second, apparently he was an arrogant SOB. Suck me! Fuck me! You want this, don't you! That sort of thing. She said that she had too many very unpleasant memories of assholes treating her like a puta when she was working and she was forced to grin and bear it. And, by God, she doesn't have to put up with that shit now.
She finally calmed down. I won't go into detail, but let's just say that after a little attention I didn't have to ask her why she was so dry. :)
So, I guess two old maxims are true. Treat a puta like a lady, and a lady like a puta. And be careful what you wish for, because you might get it.

From Downtown LA to boarder is $32 on Intercalifornias. Just do a Google search I've found as low as $20 are / T if you don't mind the buses are at least 10 years old.
I drove down last weekend -.
$37 in fuel, my car gets between 38-40 MPG on the freeway, so I have about 70 miles left and will be going to work here on that same tank after I type this (53 miles). Parking was $10 but I only had $7 on me, he let me go for that.
Even with a fairly efficient economy car, it's still cheaper to take the bus. Last minute tickets on Greyhound run $40, you can buy early and get it for less. I take it from North Hollywood, easy peasy. When I didn't drive, I would take the bus, walk a block and half and wait. That bus makes a stop Downtown and you sometimes switch as that bus might be going to Las Vegas or something.
I will not drive down to Tijuana unless I have too from now on.
Damn Phordphan Tony S is one of my favorite wise guys. I was imaging Carmela and Tony swinging too much fun. Great words of wisdom about treating a puta like a woman but lately I have been treating them the all the same. Only after session I speak with workers' ask them about kids family crack jokes but I like to rough them up a little and talk all kinds of crazy shit during the deed. They know it is is all fun and games but I Can see how some of them can have emotional scars from past experiences. Anyhow interesting story guess I am old school don't know if I can handle some other dude pounding a chick I'm seeing even if it is not exclusive much props to you and hopefully you find somebody to Rocky's liking.

I don't know how to make contact with them (as you would do when you coordinated with the van company to get picked up close to a freeway off-ramp). When returning home from Tijuana they have a ticket office in the same building with the McDonalds in San Ysidro. Because they just have a few stops immediately next to the freeway, they usually make the trek in less time than the trains.
I live in South Orange County, so the border is only about 90 miles from my home. I don't face as much traffic hassles as you guys from LA (or even SuperSteve from Anaheim) so I typically only need 90 to 100 minutes from the time I pull out of my garage until I'm pulling into the Leyva's parking lot. My gas guzzling Ford Taurus drinks $40 of gas for the round trip.

I arrived 08/17/15 already blew the 500 is and have nothing to show for it, I rent a room at HK but went to tropical bar because I wanted BBBJ. Found one girl who was willing, when we getting our room she saw a friend who look like she was just getting in to start work she had on civilian clothes. The girl I picked from TB convinced me to have a threesome for 140 I said yes because her friend was cute and had a nice body, they both have BBBJ and DATY. The problem came when I was rushed by the cum boys ruining my session. The girls were into it but the cum boys told them to stop and tried to charge me 22 dollars on top 16 for each girl for the room. Is this normal? Needless to say I was rushed out with out finishing so I head to Adelitas for a second chance I spot three chicas with grande culo. I pick one which turned out to be a mistake she was trash.

That's a good tip for the guys who have to drive from LA, Fresno or San Jose. They could pick up the bus along the way and just snooze until it arrives in San Ysidro.
Some of the guys here would go into endless details how they fornicate with dumb, fat, saggy, ugly 60 year-old putas. Believe me, 10- year-old buses would feel like teen-age virgins to them. Hehehe.
From Downtown LA to boarder is $32 on Intercalifornias. Just do a Google search I've found as low as $20 are / T if you don't mind the buses are at least 10 years old.
Even with a fairly efficient economy car, it's still cheaper to take the bus. Last minute tickets on Greyhound run $40, you can buy early and get it for less. I take it from North Hollywood, easy peasy.

On the way back, there are a few vans parked in the lot across from JIB, and drivers hanging out at the corner, soliciting riders Northbound to San Diego, Santa Ana, LA, Fresno, Stockton.
One night coming back at 2 AM, my car pool driver screwed up, I had to negotiate a ride with a van driver with his right hand amputated. The only other passenger was an old farm hand going back to work in Fresno. He dropped me off in front of my house in OC at 4 AM. I remember paying him about $30 for the ride. He continued on to Fresno, picking more passengers in LA.
These vans would drop people off at their houses. They should have no problem dropping you off at any parking lots along freeway 5.
I also once hitched a ride with a monger at the exit of the JIB parking lot, giving him $15 for gas. There are all sorts of transportation Northbound from the buses and vans across from the JIB.
I have been crossing the border at San Ysidro so often with my Global Entry card, CBP and NSA probably classify me as a border rat. Hehe.

You just have to man up and negotiate your deals clearly and specifically with the chicas. Make sure you and they agree on the length of time, the specific acts that you desire, and the exact amount of money to be paid only after the session.
Tell them, treize, seize or mil cientos pesos (300,600 or 1000 pesos), para sexo sin ropa con chuparme (fuckie suckie full nude), chuparme sin condom (BBBJ), beso en la boca (kiss in mouth), beso negro (rimming), cow girl, doggie, missionary ect. Sin ropa, pagar despues (paying after).
Once the chicas are clear what they agree to do, for how long, how much money, to be paid after the session, they are not likely to act up and cheat you. If they cheat or give you problems, report problems to the bar management or the the hotel front desks. Bar and hotel management will usually protect mongers and mete out their punishments, depending on how popular and how much business the chicas bring into the bars.
In HK club, I have overheard local Mexican guys do long and cheap negotiations for specific sex acts with every 50 pesos with the top-tiered chicas. The chicas were all cool. It just business to them, no personal insults perceived.
I arrived 08/17/15 already blew the 500 is and have nothing to show for it, I rent a room at HK but went to tropical bar because I wanted BBBJ. Found one girl who was willing, when we getting our room she saw a friend who look like she was just getting in to start work she had on civilian clothes. The girl I picked from TB convinced me to have a threesome for 140 I said yes because her friend was cute and had a nice body, they both have BBBJ and DATY. The problem came when I was rushed by the cum boys ruining my session. The girls were into it but the cum boys told them to stop and tried to charge me 22 dollars on top 16 for each girl for the room. Is this normal? Needless to say I was rushed out with out finishing so I head to Adelitas for a second chance I spot three chicas with grande culo. I pick one which turned out to be a mistake she was trash.

My best advice is to observe a bit before diving into the water. If you read posts from the vets, you will notice they do a walk about and observed first. Walk around, grab their assess, tip them a dollar and see how they react. From my limited experience, if you can communicate them, whether via Google or your broken Spanish or her broken English you will have more fun.

Greyhound and other Mexican buses stop at the parking lot right behind the McDonalds. It's along the walking path to cross the border into Mexico.
At all hours late at night there are buses waiting to go North back to LA, or to go South into Tijuana downtown, the airport and the bus station.
There is a ticketing office and a little waiting room right behind the McDonalds in that parking lot.

Is this normal?It is not normal, but it has occurred occasionally to some mongers. IMHO it happens more often during slow times (when the meseros are not otherwise busy) and tends to happen to newbies or curmudgeoned old vets that are not well liked in the bar. A similar play when monger has his own room in Cascades or Rizo de Oro is for the shitty mesero to cum up with a bucket and say that for the chica to stay any longer you must buy a new bucket of fichas for her.
The mesero wanted $54 to leave you alone for another half hour?
Other than trying to ignore the persistent knocks at your door (If the chica plays along, which she probably won't) I don't know what you can do when this shit is perpetrated on you. My only recommendation is to NOT pay the mesero anything, and let the chica know that the mesero cost her a tip.
Looks like the clean up boy saw a new face with two girls and concluded that he was a walking ATM machine. The desk person (night manager) and the manager of Tropicals are permanent employees with a lot at stake at their jobs. One should complain promptly and directly to both of these people. I have complained to the TB Manager twice in last 12 months and both times, things were handled fairly and in my favor.

Pretty crazy night. A local was shot in the head next to Chicago club. It was at the convince store kitty corner from glorita at around 11:30 pm. Saw a lot of cops and people standing around the intersection. I thought it was a fight until I asked a bystander, he told me it was a shooting. I walked closer to the store and saw the body. He was shot in the head. The assailant ran down the street towards Chicago club and I saw to cops running down the street with assault rifles. They didn't catch him. Pretty nuts, after a few minutes of watching, I went into Hk. Not to scare anybody, but Tijuana is just as dangerous as any city in the United States. I've been here 3 times, and never seen anything like this. If you are new, just stick to Hong Kong and Adelita bar. Stay safe. Tijuana is a lot of fun, I believe that most of the violent crime is local on local. This post was not to scare anybody.

While El Chapo was in prison, the Tijuana cartel stole a lot of Sinaloa cartel's turf. Now the Sinaloa cartel is trying to get their turf back.
La Zona's top dealer was executed a few weeks ago, presumably for switching side to the align with the Tijuana cartel. Sinaloa cartel will probably whack all old dealers if they don't come back. Putas bars and chicas trafficking are far more lucrative than the drugs trade. Wonder when the cartels will try to muscle in putas bars.
It's safer to hide in the big bars. Just in case the cartel guys come in the door, spraying the bars with their AK-47's, stay well away from the doors, try to hide behind some corners, and drop down flat on the ground when gun shots start popping.

Head shot at night implies short range, implying a hit against a specific target. So its not just local vs local, but a hit on a rival. I noticed that these events tend to occur mid-week with lesser witnesses. So I would restrict my visits to Thurs-Fri-Saturday and in more populated areas. BTW it's Carnival at HK tonight! Who's going? LOL.
Horsetrader. You can get limited internet service at Tropicals. I would imagine that the other major clubs have it. Ask one of Girls or waiter for the password. If all else fail, ask your chica to pull out her phone. She probably has a translator on hers.

I guess this post goes in General. Maybe food?
Remember the old gag - "Last night I went to a fight, and a hockey game broke out!" Well, Friday I went to a fiesta, and a baseball game broke out.
I noticed that last Friday was the last game of the regular season for the Tijuana Toros, their minor league team. So, why not? I got some tix online and made plans to go.
The mistake was choosing the last game of the season. It was unusually crowded. The parking lot is nowhere near large enough for a capacity crowd. The game started at 7. I was in the general area at 6:15 and the lines were un-fricking-believable. I finally got parked in some dirt lot at the base of the hill at around 7:30. Got into the seats at about 8. It was the very bottom of the 2nd, because the Red Devils of DF had scored 6 runs in the top of the 2nd. Dayum I felt like a Dodger fan. I really felt like one when we left in the top of the 8th. I wasn't about to go through another 90 minutes trying to leave the stadium.
Anyway, the whole atmosphere is like a giant party. Baseball is fun in the States, but the Mexicans seem to take it to another level. Lots of chanting and cat-calls, the only time the music stopped was just before the pitcher pitched, and it would resume immediately after. Between innings these extremely hot cheerleaders would do dance numbers. The still pic doesn't do them justice, due to the net. I can't upload the video. Overall the game was secondary to the party. I mentioned that you had to love a place where pretty women can shake their asses, while wearing skimpy costumes, and everybody thinks it's perfectly normal. In the States the feminazis have conniption fits.
The concourse was full of places to buy tacos, fruit, and every type of finger food known to man. All at roughly street prices, I. E. 15 pesos for a taco. But better still, they had vendors running around all night who would bring the stuff to you. You pay big bux in Angels Stadium or Petco to sit in the in-seat service seats. It was great having your beer brought to you. Each glass set me back 20 pesos, IIRC. Imagine what would happen if they had $2 beer night at Dodger Stadium.
The seats I got were three rows above the home dugout. Something like $200 in Anaheim, I suspect. These were a whopping 50 pesos.
So, all-in-all I recommend this as something different to do with your MBGF, other amigos, or whomever. Just get there a bit early and don't go on the last day of the season.
Oh, and if anybody cares, the Toros lost 9 to 4.

Three of them are always dancing in front of Adelitas in the afternoons to try and draw customers in. They are very good dancers, but they do not go upstairs and made it clear to me that they do not work for Adelitas. I was watching three of them dancing outside and they gave me the biggest boner.

I proceeded to the 7 days or less line. I was asked for my passport.

I was issued a permit with my name, birthdate and 7 day limit. The day and time of issue was imprinted on the permit. I was told if I wanted to get a 180 day visa I could pay 322 p the next time I crossed into Mexico. My 7 day permit was free. After that I proceeded to a signal and asked to push the button. I guess to check baggage. I had none. They did not ask me about the condoms I had, and Captain so skillfully believes WILL happen, because that is what Mexican's do, according to his FACTS!

Associated Press.
ELLIOT SPAGAT 17 hours ago.
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Walking into Mexico at the nation's busiest border crossing with the United States is no longer an uninterrupted stroll for foreigners.
Starting late Wednesday, pedestrians going to Tijuana from San Diego at the San Ysidro crossing must choose between a line for Mexicans who get waved through, and a line for foreigners who must show a passport, fill out a form and — if staying more than a week — pay 322 pesos, or roughly $20, for a six-month permit.
About a dozen foreigners stood in line Wednesday night, directed by English-speaking agents to six inspection booths where they got their passports stamped. It took about 10 minutes.
Travelers have long followed similar protocol at Mexican airports, but the new border procedure marks a big change at land crossings that weren't designed to question everyone. Pedestrians and motorists have generally entered Mexico unencumbered along the 1,954-mile (3,145-kilometer) border with the United States.
"This is about putting our house in order," said Rodulfo Figueroa, Mexico's top immigration official in Baja California state, which includes Tijuana.
The changes, which have been in the works for years, come as Donald Trump has surged to the top of the Republican field in the USA Presidential race. He has insisted that Mexico sends criminals to the USA And pledges to build a border wall at Mexico's expense.
For Mexico, it is a step toward closing an escape route for American criminals who disappear in Mexico. Border inspectors will tap into international criminal databases. Motorists will see no change, and if lines get too long, officials will also wave pedestrians through.
More than 120 Americans expelled from Mexico this year while living in Baja California had arrest warrants in the USA, according to Figueroa, delegate of the National Migration Institute. Some ordered to leave last year were on the FBI's most-wanted list.
But authorities say benefits extend beyond stopping unwanted visitors. A recent hurricane stranded twice as many Americans in Cabo San Lucas than USA Authorities thought were there, Figueroa said, and registering as a foreigner would have made it easier to identify those who needed help.
Figueroa said Mexico can process about 1,000 foreigners daily, up from about 50 currently.
"If the line becomes clogged up, we will just let everybody through," Figueroa said. "If we can't check everybody, we won't. ".
Figueroa said San Ysidro is believed to be the first USA Land crossing to have a separate line for foreigners to show passports and will serve as a model for others as they are upgraded.
About 25,000 pedestrians (and 50,000 motorists) cross daily at San Ysidro to work, shop and play but it is unclear how many are foreigners in Mexico. USA Customs and Border Protection says about one-third entering San Diego are USA Citizens, one-third are USA Legal residents and the rest are from other countries, largely Mexico. An unknown number have dual citizenship or residency in the USA And Mexico.
Both countries have long wrestled with logistical hurdles of stopping people going to Mexico by land. The USA Occasionally stops motorists and pedestrians as they leave — mainly to check for guns and cash — but it doesn't have a system to record exits like at airports, seen by many as a significant shortcoming in border security.
Previous efforts to question more foreigners entering Mexico met resistance in Tijuana, whose economy partly relies on Americans who visit restaurants, beaches, doctors and dentists. Lines to enter the United States at San Ysidro have exceeded four hours.
Roberto Arteaga, who has made tacos, shined shoes and sold tickets for private bus and van rides in Southern California during 28 years as a street vendor near the border crossing, says requiring passports and imposing a fee for longer stays sends the wrong message.
"We should be welcoming," he said during a lull in business. "This will hurt Tijuana's economy. ".
Other crossers said the move was overdue.
"Anything to keep the country safer is much better for everyone," Cynthia Diaz of Oceanside, near San Diego, said as she stood in line to return to the you. S with her niece, who visited Tijuana for a root canal. "It's safer for us on the other side too. "

When and where do you have to return the Visa?Well that seems to be the million dollar question. Actually there is no million dollar question, it is not a fact, I was attempting to make a joke, Captain. See the difference between jokes and FACTS! There is no one to collect them. I would of asked one of the Mexican agents but I did not read the fine print till I got to the hotel. Coming home in line one of the couples in line said to ask a CBP agent, and I said are you kidding they are clueless about USA policies never mind Mexican ones. Of course that is my opinion of the USA CBP agents, and possibly not a fact. I did ask the Mexican chica agent if the lines could possibly get really long, would an option to get a 6 month visa let you pass without waiting, and she said maybe. Que?
I have a passbook, but they scanned it like the USA CBP so I think that the ready card will scan, but maybe with sentry you may have to find out if you need to bring a passport. I think Sentri is a USA clearance to enter, not another country. I really don't know, and I don't want to lie or guess!
Was it passport book? Did you see any problem who only have passport card? I heard from someone that you should have passport book to enter mexico. Is that true?Reported on other boards, they are excepting a passport card to enter Mexico. But not the Sentri card. Lucky for me I have all three.
We will see how long this bullshit will last!

I got to the border at 9 am. After going through the turnstile I proceeded strait into the big room divided into 3 stations. The choice was Mexican nationals, foreigners staying in Mexico for 7 days or less, or the third line of those staying longer than 7 days. I was issued a permit with my name, birthdate and 7 day limit. The day and time of issue was imprinted on the permit. I was told if I wanted to get a 180 day visa I could pay 322 p the next time I crossed into Mexico. My 7 day permit was free. The Yahoo news stated that the passport book would be stamped. Did they do for you or is it for the 6 month permit?

The Yahoo news stated that the passport book would be stamped. Did they do for you or is it for the 6 month permit?I was issued a paper permit. It had the handwritten information from my passport written by the Mexican agent. Name, date of birth and country, and time allowed Mexico-7 days. The date of entry was stamped by the agent. The whole process was about 5 minutes. There was only three of us in the building at the time, but I can see it could get backed up quickly during busy times and school days. I think the 180 day 322 p fee will be stamped, but not sure? If you have a ready card? More info will be needed, I don't want to give wrong info.
Also the USA CBP agent said now that Mexico is checking for passports-that you need legally to enter Mexico-or turned away- The people without passports will be greatly reduced and should speed up the lines getting into the USA. I doubt it though.

I'm in LA this week for business and drove to San Ysidro this morning. Got chatting with a man waiting to exchange currency, learned of new process. Sounded like a problem and decided not to cross because I only had my Global Entry card. Mistake. This board gave warning of this over a week ago and I foolishly left my passport on the east coast.
I'll be back in about 3 weeks and expect to enter and exit Mexico 9 of 11 days. Does anyone know if I'll need to complete that paperwork daily, or is the 7-day pass valid for multiple entries?

My friend stopped by mexican border agent few weeks ago and asked for a passport.
At that time he only got sentri and agent said you need carry the passport bc sentri is USA border crossing card, not the ID.

You are supposed to turn in the S / T visa at an office near La Linea every time you cross from Mexico into the United States.
You will need to complete the paperwork every time you cross by foot. That's nearly daily if you're going to cross 9 times in 11 days.

Noone mentioned Mexico collect the exit visa, or check out the visitors when they leave, so how will they know how long they stay?
This is a big loop hole that the pervs should exploit.
Well I passed through unabated wed night did not know they are checking passports as I do not have one and refuse to get one. My DL and BC are good enough to reenter the US so far so why should I pay for a passport? Anyhow walked through the Mexican line because I am Mexican nobody stopped me or even gave me a second glance. If you ask me it is racial profiling to be stopping people who do not look a certain ethnicity. They should be checking everybody's passports. Mexicans tend to be a little emotional and tit for tat and are probably just doing this because a certain guy running for high office made some remarks that maybe hurtful but are quite true. I know several Mexican girls who have anchor babies in the you. S even though they are not citizens themselves. It is a loop hole that Mexicans people constantly exploit. My guess is that once business starts to drop off in Tijuana they will wise up and things will go back to how they were. In the meantime if you are or can pass for Mexican go in the Mexican line and act as if to skip all the bullshit. Otherwise some of us will have to resort to busting glory holes along the border fence.

Those who only have a Passport will have to carry it around with them.
I just got back, from a quick run this morning. You NEED a passport. Those not with one were denied and sent to the CBP downstairs which created a CLUSTERFUCK with the agents. I came back this afternoon and one agent said as I was being interrogated about my permit-pass I got this morning. He pointed out those who were denied entrance into Mexico and he said at least one government knows how to do it, and it is not us!Will a passport card work to cross the border, I don't want to have to carry my Passport around with me.

If Mexico insists on stamping passports, the gringos who live in Mexico and commute to work in the US (like one of my attorney friends) would have about 300 stamps every year in their passports.
Unless they use a very small stamp, it would quickly take lots of passport pages for those commuters.

I received a stamp in my passport. This was two weeks ago. I live in Tijuana.In your case I guess you had to pay for a more than 7 day visa? What if you live in US and cross frequently but only stays less than 7 days each time? Do they stamp your passport book each time you cross? Then the passport will soon run out of stamping spaces.
I believe this will definitely affect the business in Tijuana negatively.
Business takes me to Tijuana and I cross each morning and return in the evening. If I have to stand in line each time I cross I will have to rethink my plan. I was hoping the initial paper would be sufficient and you could bypass completing the paperwork again but that does not sound like an option.

I believe this will definitely affect the business in Tijuana negatively.This remains to be seen. If the passport card works indefinitely then there is your answer. There is speculation that eventually they will tighten the reins once this has been in play for a few months. There are a lot of issues that need to be ironed out. They will change things as the program matures. They can't possibly do everything they want without some serious overhaul.
I will purchase a 180 day visa once a month until they tell me I can't anymore. My time is split between SD and Tijuana. Two weeks in each place. If they want me out eventually then fine I will leave.
Right now day trippers have been told to hold onto the 7 day visa and when it expires get another one. This could change at some point.
On the other hand people passing cars get waived right through.
This will be a mess for a while then it gets more strict or they give up due to caos. We shall see.
Have fun and just go with the flow.
Probably heading down to Tijuana next week on Wednesday or Thursday (8-26,8-27). Noticed that the "Ticuan" is open again, but although I stayed there once before and liked it, not sure it is the same since re-opening. Also, the location is a long walk to the Zona. So, perhaps "Cascadas" this time instead. Anyone have any thoughts as to which choice would be better? Simply going to drink some beer, relax and have fun for an afternoon and night.
Heading to Tijuana the last week of this month. After extensive RTFF, I think I have a pretty good handle on how to stay away from problems. But I still have one question: If you're not staying in ZN, is it safe to take a taxi from ZN back to the border after 7 pm?
Thanks for any advice that can be provided.For me, yes. I generally take a Taxi back around 1 am or 2 am. The line getting back to the USA (Thursday AM) is next to nothing.
What days of the week are you planning to be there this month?

This could change at some point.If I understand their laws correctly, a visiting United States citizen needs a visa to enter Mexico (two kinds, one is free, the longer one costs around $20). And the visa is to be turned in every time when that visitor exits Mexico.
But in the case of the free visa (for 7 days or less) the Mexican government doesn't want to go through the time, expense and bother of reissuing a S / T visa daily for those visitors who stay in Mexico for just a few hours each time, multiple times each week?
Too bad they didn't take that logic to the matter of someone who stays more than a week at a time, but does that multiple times within a 6-month period.

I drove down, crossing border at about 7 PM Friday night.
The line backed up to the last USA exit. There was no accidents or delay, just slow down due to congestion. Cars were going through immigration lanes without stopping. Mexico even turned off the RED / GREEN traffic lights in the lanes. They pulled over and searched about 1 in every 200 cars, mostly pick up trucks and SUVs loaded with goods.
Nobody was asking for passport or exit visas. Just drove right through. It took half hour to get to Coahuila, and the same amount of time to cross back in SENTRI lane at midnight.

Have fun and just go with the flow.Went to test it out myself yesterday and the passport card did work. However the lady who issued me the less than 7 day visa did say that each time I cross I have to go through the same process again and get a new pass for each visit. Therefore I tore up the pass and trashed it when I came back. Someone just mentioned that I could reuse it for at least 7 days if I cross again during this 7 day period. I don't know if this is true.
The taxi area is like a zoo or a circus, full of chaos, shouting and waving. It was a mess. It was not easy to get a taxi so I walked on foot across the bridge and went through the old path towards the arch. It seemed to me that there were not many people walking this path now. Many businesses moved away or closed. This is for sure going to affect the Tijuana business negatively in the short term. However I did see that some business including.
The people holding cups asking for money already moved to the sides of the half completed new walkway.

Apparently this is still in the initial testing stage. So I guess each time you enter, you will just have to go through the same process of getting a paper permit with the date stamp.
I've been following all this and plan to cross by foot next weekend and have a Passport Card which I will use to cross with.
It's my understanding that people driving into the country are "exempt" from all of this and that the showing of a Passport / Issuance of a permit is not done.
The Tijuana Cops in the Zone are going to have a field day with this.
I know lots of guys drive across and others walk.
So what happens when someone has driven across, is stopped by the Cops on the street, and does not have a permit and / or a copy of a permit because they drove.
I see lots of extortion in the works and wouldn't be surprised to see a report about something like this very soon.

I think it is faster than crossing by foot.I think mexicoach has a website so you might check there. I would assume they need to comply with everyone else or they might ask you for your passport before you even get on the bus.
Better to research a little more. I don't use them so I don't have first hand information.
Good Question. If you find out please let us know the answer.

The red Mexicoach buses always stop at Mexican Immigration and Custom lane. 1 or 2 agents would board the bus and check everyone out. So the probability is high that they will ask riders for passports.
If you go beyond Tijuana, be aware that there are a few check points manned by Mexico's Marinas along the Baja California highway 1. One is at the midpoint between Tijuana and Ensenada; another further South, about San Quintin or El Rosario, somewhere near the border of Baja Norte / Sud.
A few years back I took the very long ride on bus from Tijuana to La Paz. It was a very boring 24-hour ride on a very narrow 2 lane highway down the desert, with no scenery and nothing to do besides a few little fishing villages with rundown bars and block houses. The drivers took turn driving and slept in the baggage compartment at the bottom of the bus. At a check point near a little village, the Marinas stopped and boarded the bus, looking at each rider's face. I did not have the Mexico's travel document, but was unmolested. The Marinas pulled off the bus an unkempt Gringo with long, matted hair and dirty clothes, a classic example of fugitives on the run. I hope he survived the night with the horny Marinas. Hehe.
You can book flight from LAX, San Diego or Tijuana to La Paz or Cabo San Lucas cheaper than the bus. So fuck the rickety bus.
Today I took the shuttle from the parking lot to Rev. $5. When we crossed the bus driver dropped us of at a Mexican government building on the border. Brand new building. Said he would pick us up on the other. Everyone had to fill out a form. The ladies then stamped our passports. We all boarded the shuttle and off to Tijuana we went. Very easy.

I did not get a stamp on my passport, they just issued a 7 day permit on an official document. I just showed my passport and the chica handwrote the permit, and time stamped the permit with the date.

Hey guys,
Expecting to make a trip out to Tijuana this Wed or Thursday for a night or two. Been there once earlier this year for only a few hours and had a blast and met a guy from a place called Zorro who showed me around for a short bit. I just looked up the exchange rate at XE.com and noticed the rate of 17 to 1! Wow! Hope prices haven't gone up in Tijuana yet. Where would I find the most convenient place on either side of the border where I could get the best exchange for my buck? My phone didn't work out there last time so any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, not too much experience out in Tijuana and was wondering if anyone wanted to go as a wingman? Looking forward to a great time and will definitely share my experience.

I went into Mexico this morning, and the agent saw my passport, and I showed her the permit I got on Thursday, and she said go through the Mexican entry because the permit still good for 4 more days. So hold onto the permit, and no filling out paperwork if you have a valid permit. If you get a 6 month visa there will not be any waiting you just go through the Mexican entry, if you show the agent the passport, and visa-permit. Also they have set up a baggage scanner with everyone who has a bag or luggage must put them through now.It would be nice if we only needed to carry our GE/SENTRI cards, but it's hard to complain about the new system. No waiting, $20, and a single passport stamp for many visits over 6 months, not too bad.

Also they have set up a baggage scanner with everyone who has a bag or luggage must put them through now.I haven't crossed thru the new border entrance yet but find it strange that after being issued the 7 day permit, that for a re-entry within the seven day period you would go thru the Mexican entry even though your a foreigner. Can someone explain this.

I haven't crossed thru the new border entrance yet but find it strange that after being issued the 7 day permit, that for a re-entry within the seven day period you would go thru the Mexican entry even though your a foreigner. Can someone explain this.Upon entering the building you are given an option by the agent who directs you. You show her your passport or passport card. She checks it. If it is your first time there, you will be asked how long you will be in Mexico. One to 7 days you will be directed to a booth. If you are going to be longer or want to get a 6 month visa (322 pesos) you will be directed to another line, booth. The third option is if you have a Mexican passport or look Mexican! You are directed to the Mexican entrance which a permit or visa is not needed. The agent will tell you which option is for you. If you have a passport and a valid 7 day permit, or a visa you will be directed to the Mexican line, which is the line you don't have to interact with another agent. I hope this clears it up.

What about coming back to the US? Do you have to show the Mexican permit you were issued to Mexican or US Border Patrol?No. It is not necessary to show US Officials your mexican document.
I haven't crossed thru the new border entrance yet but find it strange that after being issued the 7 day permit, that for a re-entry within the seven day period you would go thru the Mexican entry even though your a foreigner. Can someone explain this.For now Mexico is allowing multiple entries IN / OUT privileges with your 7 or 180 day FMM Tourist Card. Eventually this will change once the program evolves.
Hopefully they come up with some kind of border crossing card for frequent visitors or some other type of program. I personally tried to get the residency visa but failed in doing so. WHY? They ask you a lot of personal questions having to do with finance. I had sufficient funds many X's over but they still wouldn't give it to me with a personal letter from my accountant stating my net worth and other highly confidential financial information. It is not reasonable to think that the majority of people crossing will be able to comply. Then What? Not much they either come up with another solution or they lose people. Time will tell.

Time will tell.I think they have some type of expedited pass system similar to Global Entry that I noticed last time I flew thru Mexico City about three months ago. I still am puzzled as to why a foreigner would go thru the Mexican line when they had a pass when foreigners are supposed to go thru a separate line which was my original question.
In addition I'm waiting to see a report from someone who drove across the border where no permits are being issued and was stopped walking around the Zone with neither a 7 or 180 day permit and got shook-down by the Tijuana Cops over this.
Surprised to hear you couldn't get a residency card with what you went thru that sounds similar to what I went thru to get my Sentri card which I understand they will not accept for crossing into the country. The reality is that Sentri is very difficult to get compared to a Passport and the Mexicans should consider it for border crossings, etc. But Mexico is Mexico and nothing makes sense a lot of times like having different rules for driving into the country versus walking.
I have looked into getting residency in many countries, including México. México is like Chile in that you can either prove $X per month in income, or $X in total assets. The last time I checked, a few months ago, those figures were $2,588 a month or $105,523 total. For temporary residency, the figures were $1,553 and $25,880.
There are a few things to note about this. Number one, the asset figure appears to be gross and not net. That means you could borrow the assets and even be technically bankrupt. That is, of course, very silly but then again, who would voluntarily disclose a bunch of debt, and how could México possibly find out who all you owe money to? Number two, because these are such odd numbers, I suspect that they are pesos converted to dollars. That means with the weaker peso, they are probably lower now in terms of dollars.
I don't know what Art's situation is, but I do think it is legitimate for a country to ask that a person verify their ability to support themself before allowing them to remain in the country for a long period of time. For example, Spain requires that a visitor show 60 some euro per day, minus an allowance for any prepaid hotels. Of course, they never ask me to prove this since I am a white gringo. All I can do about that is apologize. Several latino friends have recently been asked to prove this amount, and in most cases could not, and therefore received much shorter entry visas than the 90 days ordinarily permitted in the EU.

I hope this clears it up.So it sounds as though everybody going into the Mexican line is screened before being allowed into this line. They must have some type of secondary processing area like on the US side for those crossing with no papers like on the US side? Anyways thanks for clarifying things.

Then they asked me for evidence that the funds will last FOREVER because I was applying for a "retirement visa". In my case my application for a Residente Temporal Visa was seen or viewed as a retirement visa. A retirement lasts FOREVER so they wanted confirmation on that. I was under the impression a residente temporal visa only lasted 3 years before they push you to get a permanente visa during the 4th year. I would not be allowed to work in Mexico so obviously proving income stability is important. I respect this but I just don't have access to the information they want. It sounds weird online but it is what it is.
Everybody has a different financial situation so different forms of "proof" would be needed.
No sweat off my back I can be a tourist and have a F Pad in Tijuana for when I get the urge. Tijuana doesn't have Medical Marijuana anyway!

Residente temporal visa for 3 years then you can apply for a visa permanent during the 4th year which is what I did and received, as I have maintained a home in Puerto Vallarta for what seems like forever.
