View Full Version : General Reports
Baja Mex. Closest to ped west exit. $6 Mon. Thurs. $20 fri. Sun. Used many times when not staying the night. Not good if you spend the night as parking ends at 8 am then you have to pay another day.
I haven't used the $24 dollar lot since it was $12 but I thought I remembered it was 24 hrs.
I know the Marriott would be the best choice but not sure how far or taxi rate to the central zone. In another thread so. One stated cascades (aditas hotel) was not clean or comfy. I tried Hotel Ticuan which is now $84 (up from $67 on their web site). It had hot water (yes!) And the bed was comfortable. I doubt they change sheets daily but the looked clean. Free. Breakfast with menu. I had to ask how to turn on the lights. My only complaint was my room was next to the construction of the new building next door which started at lime 5 am.
Can someone post their hotel reviews since there is no separate thread?Inside the Zona, the only one I can recommend staying in is Cascadas or the one above Tropicals when Cascadas runs out of rooms. I have stayed at 4-5 of the ones in and around the alley and they are extremely poor. With Cascadas, always ask for a top floor room. The lower floor rooms are for sex and is unclean due to high traffic. Same with over at Tropicals.

Can someone post their hotel reviews since there is no separate thread?I stayed at both Ticuan and Cascadas. At Cascadas, I stayed on the top floor and got a Master suite room which has the jacuzzi (definitely recommend it). I went on a Monday so it only cost $20 if you have a VIP card (80% discount on rooms on Mondays). They had just cleaned the room because I had to wait for the cleaners. Overall it was okay, but there definitely could've been room for improvement. Namely, add some damn lights to the room, it's really dark even with all the lights turned on. There was no remote for the television, no instructions for the WiFi (had to call down), and the safe wasn't reset so I couldn't use it. I paid $20 for it though. Can't really complain LOL. Next time I go, I'll probably do the same: spend a night at Cascadas and then the rest I'll stay at Ticuan.
Ticuan was much better. An actual hotel. I got an Executive Room. Much roomier. Front desk / doorman didn't ask questions when I brought my date with me at night. Maybe a 10 minute walk to HK. Free breakfast. When you get your room, ask them to see if you can get a room that faces the atrium (much quieter).

You could try the hotel Velario. It's on 1st street, about a half block down Ninos Heroes. The only common ding it gets in it's reviews is that the neighborhood it's in is full of prostitutes (LOL! You can book it on normal hotel sites like Travelocity, Expedia, and TripAdvisor. Typically around $40 a night plus tax.

Can someone post their hotel reviews since there is no separate thread?On average, it is USD 8. I have taken a cab from the Marriot to PedEast, total cost USD 7-8, as well as a cab from Marriott to downtown, total cost USD 7-8 (may differ slightly depending on your drop-off point).
Again, another way is to take the collective, which I have taken both directions, many, many times between Marriot and downtown (4th and Constitucion), with a one-way fare of 12 pesos (can be 15 pesos late at night). One of the many benefits, besides cost, is that you are safe from a situation where a taxi driver may have colluded with the police to stop you to shake some money off you, which can at times happen late at night.

Don't wear any jewelry or watches. Dress very casual. Use uber. Wear a trucker hat. You'll be fine.

I can recommend La Villa de Zaragoza on Av. Madero. About a block and a half from Av. Revolucion; not far from Las Pulgas. A 7-11 is close by to load up on snacks and drinks. It's not fancy like the Ticuan; it's a 2 star but it's safe, has hot water and aircon and cable TV. It's all I need when I'm in Tijuana for a few days. Never called an escort over but I've read others have. Pics are below. Might not be nice enough for some, though.
I'm actually curious about all the cheap hotels in Tijuana, if they're safe, what their weekly and monthly rates are, etc. Next trip I'm going to do some recon on the cheapies and report back.

Would you say uber is decently safe to use in Mexico over a cab and where would you normally pick the ubers up from? I was thinking of going to Rosarito sometime next month would you say that that is a good option just Uber it?

The hotel Velario area is very sketchy with numerous reports of choke holds and policia shakedowns.
The 'girls' hang out in that areas are big and tall, some may have bigger dicks and balls than yours and mine.
Hotel Hacienda de Santiago and Leyva may be better and safer.

Don't wear any jewelry or watches. Dress very casual. Use uber. Wear a trucker hat. You'll be fine.Haven't had any issues so far, knock on wood, but other members (or should I say Eskimo brothers) have reported issues, as documented here on the forum.
Good point about Uber, haven't tried it (usually leave my phone in the US, crossing over to Mexico without it; may get a local SIM card down the road), but there are some reports here where folks have had a good experience. More data needed.

Can someone post their hotel reviews since there is no separate thread?You're willing to stay in the Marriott, a hotel that is routinely between $125 - $150 per night, and you're worried about the taxi fare to Centro? It's maybe 2 miles, but what difference does $6 or $8 make at that point? Personally, I'd use Uber. But if the cab fare is going to be a deal breaker, you'd best be looking at other hotels.
A more accurate review would describe it as a neiborhood filled with transvestites.I don't think there are many. I passed by that area and decided to go in a couple of bars there to see the show inside for the experience. One I think is a gay bar and they left me alone when I told the person who approached me that I like real girls.

Can someone post their hotel reviews since there is no separate thread?Cascadas is clean enough for me. What I had to do is get 3 or 4 more flat sheets, 2 inside the blanket for sleep, 1 on top of the blanket. I booked double last time but they gave me an old room so I switch to a single that is newer.
Thanks for all the hotel replies, especially cascades. For Marriott my rate is $100 or $109 to the person that replied and I would do at least 4 taxi or lift. So it does add up and no rooms were avails LE last Sunday. I stayed at Tucuan again but this time I got top floor center. It was extremely quiet all night. I usually get a room around 10 or midnight so an expensive hotel Seema like a waste for one o e. I am able to walk to HK from Tucuan.
Parking- this time I tried the $8 parking which is no longer 24 hrs but for $2 more than the insurance parking I got another 2 hrs. Its not well lit and with them cutting in to the ground, I got a cloud of cement dust on my just washed car.
Well, I got my papers. Talk to you guys in a year.
I like to bring my own clean blankets and pillow or pillow case and sleep above the Cascadas sheets so I do not touch the sheets there. When I return to the USA then the blankets and pillow case go in the washer. If I forget a pillow case then I use a clean Cascadas towel to cover the pillow. I think the Cascadas staff is very good about cleaning the linen but you can't be too careful. Also bring a small bottle of spray disinfectant or disinfectant wipes- $2 from Walmart, to wipe the door / shower handles. The disinfectant wipes are also good for when the water isn't hot and you don't want to shower in cold water. The wipes are the substitute for disinfecting yourself and you can give one to your chica.

The guy at the desk was always helpful even helping me call my girlfriend. I like the secure parking and I always tipped the guard when I came in. He was always right there when I was ready to leave to help maneuver out of the lot and thru the alley.
I recently net over there and the guy at the desk remembered me from 10 years ago. I don't stay there any more since I now live in Tijuana but I would not hesitate to recommend it.

I also carry a good copy and have been asked to see it albeit very seldom in my travels.

Heading down for the first time at beginning of April I believe and it seems like the easiest way to get to Tijuana from Ca is through San Diego. The flights round trip from northern ca are over $600 to Tijuana but just half that to San Diego.
Anyways, is it true the worst day to come back across the border to the USA Is Sunday? I'm not looking forward to the 4+ hour lines to get back but it's way cheaper than flying into Tijuana I guess.

General question. Does everyone carry their passports with them at all time, or do you store it in a hotel safe?If I'm staying overnight I keep my passport card in the hotel safe. And carry an expired DL for my ID. Only because I have heard stories of the monkee's trying to hold on to your ID for ransom.

I forget a pillow case then I use a clean Cascadas towel to cover the pillow. I think the Cascadas staff is very good about cleaning the linen but you can't be too careful. (snipped a bit)You don't trust the sheets, but you do trust the towels are clean, interesting concept. I wager they are washed together.
General question. Does everyone carry their passports with them at all time, or do you store it in a hotel safe?I drive into Mexico with my passport card in my wallet, leaving my booklet passport at home. The card stays on me the entire trip.
I'm not sayin' that's the safest bet, but it is what I do. And I've never had any problems.
You don't trust the sheets, but you do trust the towels are clean, interesting concept. I wager they are washed together.Forgot to mention, you have to pay / tip for additional towels and sheets.
You don't trust the sheets, but you do trust the towels are clean, interesting concept. I wager they are washed together.I think he said he use towel when he forget the pillow case.
I don't know if you have been to Cascadas. The issue is not the sheet. The issue is that there is nothing between you and the blanket, and everyone is fucking on top of the same blanket.
BTW: I did use towel on top of pillow.

You know when you go there you know what that hotel is used for 24/7 so it is part of the game and I just don't think about it. I say if you have a clean phobia the zona is a filthy place.
I've seen the cum-boy mopping every room and never washing the mop between rooms, just plain bleach is the best disease killer for white sheets and towels and simple green or that stuff they use in hospitals for the floors.

Friday late night I was so tired, so I went to hotel Leyva to crash.
The room in the old wing is 400 pesos or $22 with TV and free parking. The rooms in the new wing on Constitucion is larger, 485 pesos or $26. I prefer rooms on the ground floor so I can get in and out quickly.
The room is nice, clean, quiet but smelling somewhat musty. The rooms are about the same quality as Cascada's unremodeled rooms but hot water is available. The sheets and towels are nice, clean, fresh. A few HK chicas live in hotel Leyva. Their high heels click clack in the corridor through the night.
Leyva is in a nice, clean, well-lighted ares, on Constitucion next to Chicago Club, only half a block North of the alley from the action. Sure beats Cascada's $65 single room deal. Highly recommended.

The Cascadas towels are white and it is easy to see if they have stains or not been washed. The bedding and pillow cases at Cascadas are colored and it is difficult to tell if they have been washed.
Some people use a portable UV light in hotel rooms to detect if the bedding has been washed. I believe semen stains glow under UV light. Anyone want to take a UV light with them and check the bedding and report back?

If you go to Tijuana in the evening crossing is fairly easy. But the lines are much longer during the day.

[Deleted by Admin] US repair guys did something wrong with my car, the exhaust was leaking, making noise. A local repair shop quoted $900 to fix the problem. Could not find other shops that would diagnose and fix the problem. Was in La Zona for fun, decided to stay overnight and have Tijuana shops look at it in the morning.
Calles 3, O Campo and Negrete have lots of repairs shops, but the roads are being torn up. Most shops were not accessible. Finally found REX on Aquacaliente, corner Quintana Roo, about 3 block South of Costco, a large and professional shop specializing in muffler and radiator. Mechanic Eduardo speaks English like Gringos. This shop also does oil change and light maintenance, supposedly the best in Tijuana. They said exhaust manifold was cracked, needed removed and welded, 3 hours 1,500 pesos (about $80).
They had a dozen US cars waiting for mufflers and catalytic converters, so I left the car and went to lunch. Came back Eduardo took me under the car to look at the repairs. He did not have to remove the exhaust manifold, just welded the cracks in place, costing only 1,200 pesos ($65). He threw in an Aluminum alloy exhaust manifold gasket that would have costed me $70 at the dealer. So the repair was free, saving lots of time, money and hassles fucking around with stupid, greedy repair shops in the US. One mother fucking Mexican shop had the balls to quote $200 just to remove 2 bolts and assemble that AL gasket in place, if I bring the part. It's an easy job but I don't have the curved tools and don't want to get under the cars on supports. I am pissing mad at these [Deleted by Admin] in the US.
If you have issues with your car, drive it down to Tijuana and leave it with the known good mechanics, and spend the time and money savings on pretty chicas. I collected contacts of a few supposed good, honest mechanics in Tijuana. So PM me if needed.

There is a CBP web site showing historical wait times on different days at different time.
For pedestrians, the longest wait time to cross back to the US is likely Sunday then Saturday afternoon 4 to 8 PM, when visitors try to get home for dinner. I drove past Ped East Saturday at about 4 PM and did not see a line of waiting pedestrians. They probably prefer Ped West to cross back into the parking lots of the shopping mall. If you cross back on Ped East late at night on weekends, my wingmen only had to walk and wait 10 to 15 minutes.
BTW there were a few visitors, families with children, on the Freedom path Saturday afternoon near the Wax Museum, the Artists' Village and the foot bridge over Tijuana river to Ped West. A few taco shops and trinket carts were open on the path. When Ped West opens into Mexico, it should bring more visitors over due to the short walk and convenience of nearby free parking at the mall.

I have not had to wait more than 30 minutes sonce there is now the option to exit using Pedwest.
Other than the fact that he passed there hasn't been any more info. Any one heard more about the circumstances of his death?

5 minutes is the longest time I have had to wait crossing back into the US via Pedwest. The ironic thing is that the pedestrian Visa line into Tijuana is always longer. A few weeks ago I had wait close to a hour waiting for them to fill out the Visa forms.

Thanks for all the info about border crossing, I will definitely fly into SD and take the bus / cross by foot. Just a few more questions to get your opinions on your stay down there!
I'm curious to see what Tijuana is like during weekdays and also weekends. Is 4 days down there too much time to spend? I'm in my early 30's and can probably get like 4-5 pops a day. But I was thinking do Saturday / Sunday at Ticuan and Monday / Tuesday at Cascadas to take advantage of VIP card / discount rooms. I guess I'm not your average monger, I only do this once a year so I try to make sure the trip is worth it.
Also one last thing, not too many people talk about the massage parlors here. I've seen vids on youtube where it look like they bring out a line of women and you can choose who you want, what services etc. Are they worth it compared to taking a girl upstairs at cascades or escorts?
As far as escorts, I've read a lot of people have greater success using back page or CL so I want to try that and also a few escort companies. I'll probably have to invest in a Cell phone and get Whatsapp for easier coordinating. Again, any info is greatly appreciated and I will report back on my trip next month.
Similar situation, had a Navy guy run into my car's bumper while it was parked at McDonalds. Navy dude came into McDonalds instead of driving off and asked if anyone owned a car that looked like mine since he hit it. Since he was a Navy guy with class, I told him not to report it to his insurance and that he could pay for the bumper repairs at a nearby body shop but they wanted $1000 plus parts. I thought that was too much, so I had him follow me to a VW shop and buy the replacement taillights and other parts for about $70 and told him I would pay for the body work myself in Tijuana. In Tijuana, sure enough, a body shop on Ocampo street realigned the bumper with a car jack and chains, put Bondo on the damaged places and replaced the tail lights, 500 pesos or around $25 for 2 hours body work. .Unbelievable price and done quick. Still needs a paint job but that is for another day in Tijuana! Anyone know if Earl Scheib style paint jobs are available in Tijuana for $99 and what shops?

Again, any info is greatly appreciated and I will report back on my trip next month.Personally I like to do it the other way around. I like to start out at Cascadas being in the heart of the jungle. Getting very little if any sleep the first day or 2 and then checking into Ticuan to catch up on sleep and much needed rest. The other advantage is if you should find a favorite in the bars and form some sort of connection it is nice to plan a meet up outside the zona and take her back to your nice comfortable room at the Ticuan for the night.
However I do understand you wanting to take advantage of the disounted room that the HK VIP card allows you. And that should be taken into consideration.
I recently returned from 6 days down there and I was pretty burnt out. But Im an old man. I vowed never to return again.But now its a week later and I cant wait for a return trip.

If this is my first time I will just stick with Cascadas. Same suggestion for escorts as I have been there too, they are not reliable so don't waste your time.
I think the way you plan to do it is to save some money but you have to consider the cost when you need to use room in Cascadas during weekend if you are planning to have multiple visits a day.

That makes sense about using Ticuan to catch up on sleep. It would be great to have a connection with a girl at HK, then bring her up to my room instead of renting one of those downstairs rooms.
I did something similar to this my first time but I did it the other way around. If this is my first time I will just stick with Cascadas. Same suggestion for escorts as I have been there too, they are not reliable so don't waste your time.
I think the way you plan to do it is to save some money but you have to consider the cost when you need to use room in Cascadas during weekend if you are planning to have multiple visits a day.Sucks to hear about the escort thing, there are so many websites and listings on CL, plus the individual listings. I think I might just get a room at both places at the same time during my stay and cut the trip short by a day. Maybe use Ticuan to sleep and use the room at Cascadas for everything else! But I'm determined to have experienced at least each (Escort / HK girl / SW) so for the escort thing I think I'll setup a few at different times of a certain day and hope for the best.

There are a couple paint shops on Calle 3 as you cross the Tijuana river into El Centro. The street is being torn up right now but you should be able to get quotes and bargain with a few of them. Cadillac is probably the most expensive, not sure if it's any better. Oddly the shops away from Calle 3 all want high prices, about the same as the US.
I had a front bumper, the hood and a rear quarter panel sanded down, scratches and gouges filled in, painted with primer then a couple coats of paint for 1,000 pesos (about $70 then). I had to give the guy 500 pesos to buy paint and drive him to the paint shop nearby for matching. It was a good match job. Waited 2 weeks for the paint to harden and brought the car back for him to rub and polish. The paint match was good, workmanship was pretty good, not much different from the shops I used in So Cal. The paint is shiny metallic. Nobody could tell the car was repainted.
It has been about 3 years. Paint has not fainted or peeled off. If it does I would bring it back and have the guy repaint it same day for 500 pesos.
Similar situation, had a Navy guy run into my car's bumper while it was parked at McDonalds. Navy dude came into McDonalds instead of driving off and asked if anyone owned a car that looked like mine since he hit it. Since he was a Navy guy with class, I told him not to report it to his insurance and that he could pay for the bumper repairs at a nearby body shop but they wanted $1000 plus parts. I thought that was too much, so I had him follow me to a VW shop and buy the replacement taillights and other parts for about $70 and told him I would pay for the body work myself in Tijuana. In Tijuana, sure enough, a body shop on Ocampo street realigned the bumper with a car jack and chains, put Bondo on the damaged places and replaced the tail lights, 500 pesos or around $25 for 2 hours body work. .Unbelievable price and done quick. Still needs a paint job but that is for another day in Tijuana! Anyone know if Earl Scheib style paint jobs are available in Tijuana for $99 and what shops?

You will enjoy Tijuana and won't regret going down there.
Heading down for the first time at beginning of April I believe and it seems like the easiest way to get to Tijuana from Ca is through San Diego. The flights round trip from northern ca are over $600 to Tijuana but just half that to San Diego.
Anyways, is it true the worst day to come back across the border to the USA Is Sunday? I'm not looking forward to the 4+ hour lines to get back but it's way cheaper than flying into Tijuana I guess.

Saturday morning 3 girls in street clothes were in front of Mermaids luring guys in. They looked nice clean fresh without make up on their faces.
Quality of girls in mermaids has improved somewhat, but they present the girls in street clothes, so they may not look so attractive with their clothes off. They used to charge $60 for 1 hour of massage; any sex is extra, adding another $60 to $80 tip to the girl, which is steep.
Also one last thing, not too many people talk about the massage parlors here. I've seen vids on youtube where it look like they bring out a line of women and you can choose who you want, what services etc. Are they worth it compared to taking a girl upstairs at cascades or escorts?.

I understand Ranchero1 is one of a few call signs for the owner / moderator of the other web site.
He alluded to be ex LE and sometime ex US Marines. Who knows what he is? He posted many disgusting pictures of girls getting facials. I objected to his demeaning of these girls and he got really mad at me.
Other than the fact that he passed there hasn't been any more info. Any one heard more about the circumstances of his death?

Likely had a fetish for "money shots" he couldn't control so got defensive over it. Some say he was a smog tech rather than LE but most will never know.

As I typed this at 7:02 PM it is still light although the sun officially set a few minutes ago. Being a day tripper this is nice for the times that circumstances beg extended stays. As far as I'm concerned we can stay on DST year round. Your thoughts?
For years I would stay late but as I "matured" the realization came that it wasn't worth the pain and lately with all the homicides why risk a stray bullet if you are fortunate enough to make day time "bombing runs"? This applies more to the non bar guys who prefer the paraditas most likely. The day chicas appear to be more natural, appreciative and over all less rushed as the clock ticks during room time.

Nobody changed my monger game like R1. Never did SG, nor even knew Walkers existed. Took me a long time to figure out who he was. Since I was always looking for a African American guy. If what he told me is true, former Marine, former LEO, and if I remember right he said he did some type of work for lawyers or something. But as true to form with any monger all of it could have been a lie. He was not the owner of the other site, just a solid Mod and the best poster on any monger site ever. I learned many things about how the Zona works from him. We had some onsite differences, but never any cross words when we chatted in the Zona. Even after I stopped using the other site because of other Mods, and him since he was not a saint and held a grudge big time. I am super stubborn and hold grudges forever too. But like I said he never showed it street side, even when we would be chatting with mutual friends. It saddens me that a huge amount of intel will never hit any of these sites now that he is gone. Anytime I head south, I always popped on the other site to get the latest Walker Intel by R1. I hope that his death was at home and peaceful. I just hope someone out there will step up and do the job that he did for all of us. Hope he is enjoying eating peanut m&m's and giving jizz bombs to all those Tijuana ladies that have passed on over the years.

I've enjoyed using it continuously since the new Chaparral West re-entry to the USA opened. Today there was a sign (notice) before the turnstile Mexico side stating that in "early August" it would close "permanently". Sorry to see it go as I don't fancy having to cross the old river bridge, take the long walk on Mexico side only to cross back over the freeway to the trolley.
Those using the old crossing still have over 4 months however unless they bump up the date. More likely it will remain open longer than expected if it's a matter of construction.

Other than the fact that he passed there hasn't been any more info. Any one heard more about the circumstances of his death?It could have been almost anything, as R1 was highly opinionated,to the point of being offensive, but also not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He reminded me of Clayton Bigsby from the Dave Chappelle skit, with the added feature that he got off on finding the skankiest putas in the zona, and degrading them even more than they were used to. I wouldn't be surprised if he either got taken out in a bar fight, or by the padrote of some chica whom he posted wearing his jizz on the internet.

I think everyone has the right to rest in peace.I think you're entitled to as much respect when you're dead as you gave others when you were alive. Suffice it to say, I would surely draw a line at emulating him, and I'm pointing out that no matter what you thought of him as a person, putting him up as some sort of role model is frankly stupid, and I've seen plenty of comments that have been doing that. And I certainly never hid from him what I thought of him while he was alive. I can assure you, I've toned it down compared to stuff I said to him directly. In any case, I'm done, since he won't be replying.

Ped East works perfect for me many years. I would drive down SENTRI lane and drop my wing men off near the turn stile. He would walk through and meet me at the Jack In the Box in about 10 minutes.
Crossing via Ped West requires walking half a mile into that dark and deserted plaza full of closed down-shops and hiding places for rateros. They should have policia patrol the whole area, including the bridge. If people start complaining of robberies, they may post some cops.

Maybe because I am such a swell guy. I may have not liked him much after I found out some things, but in the end it sucks thinking he died without family, like many other long term mongers, no loved one to care enough to even write a obit for him. I never put him up on the pedestal like many have, but he was the best source of all types of information, and I will miss all that insight he had. Life goes on and someone will replace him as the #1 the-bag.
Accommodations. Stay at Hotel Ticuan.
I have to say that all the good things I have heard about the Ticuan are true. In the past I have stayed at Lucerna, Hotel Grand and Cascadas and I found that the Ticuan was the best value. You can't beat the location as it is just far enough out of the Zona but just close enough to walk if so inclined. I had an Executive room for $5/ night more and at a total cost of $75/ night was a great deal with free breakfast and free WiFi. If the Hotel Grand was the same distance I would pick it but overall the Ticuan was great. All staff members are polite, respectful and professional. The bed was nice and clean. I can't say it was entirely quite as I heard the click clack of many chicas during the wee hours of the AM going up and down the halls but nothing like Cascadas.
Weds March 15 - Hong Kong and Adelita. When I was there HK was having some Bikini contest. On Weds I arrived around 7 PM and stayed til 10 PM and felt the talent was not that good. I have been many many times and this set of chicas was not good. I bounced and went to Adelita and it was horrible. Maybe 1 girl I would even ponder bringing ariba but it made me quickly realize the mistake I made leaving HK. So I did what any tired and hungry guy would do. Said "screw it" and went to may fav hole in the wall restaurant between HK and Adelita. The Monte Carlo. I got the triple taco plate, Coca lite and went back to Ticuan for a good night sleep.
Thursday March 16 - As today is the beginning of March MADNESS, I started at Pueblo Amigo to make my donations. A $50 6-team parlay that I lost with the first game. Notre Dame not covering against Princeton. It was fine watching the game over a couple fuerte screwdrivers so by 11:30 AM I had a nice buzz. Headed to HK where the talent was waaay better at noon that it was at 10 PM the night before. Many popular ladies. I took the younger Sonia not to be confused with the other slightly older Sonia. I wanted to do Sharon / Shadow the body builder but she hadn't arrived until I got back down from my first conquest of the day. I had a few more drinks and went to Adelita and was met by one of my fav girls. Daisy. Shared a drink with her and headed back to hotel for din-din.
Restaurants. Vittorios - Nice place and a quick walk from hotel. Nice family atmosphere. Although I hate kids. But it was still nice. Good lasagna. Sangria on tap. A little weird to me that they didn't have Chianti by the glass so I stuck with a small carafe of Sangria. I went back to the hotel and watched some more hoops. Was ready to go at 10 PM but decided the bed felt too nice and I already got laid so I stayed in.
Friday March 17 - After a nice breakfast I headed to PedWest. I love my Sentri card. Breezed thru. I parked at Border station so it was only $8/ night. Overall a pretty tame trip. I must be getting old LOL.
Happy Mongering!

Same here, I always wondered why he overpaid all the time.Because he let it become widely known that he would.
I never had to pay more for photos, nor for making vids either.Same with me. (well, I did pay an extra 100 p per chica to video a threesome in my HDS room once). And I've never had photos as a requirement to cita (too limiting for what I want to accomplish when in LZ).
Maybe because I am such a swell guy.bag.That probably saves on 'coming correct costs'.

No water on Primera or North End of Revolution. Don't know how these restaurants & hotels make it when this happens. One guy said it when out last night if not mistaken. Didn't go down to the alley so they may be OK some of the hotels have back up reserve water as I recall. Luckily the wet wipes helped us skate through without a glitch. Not sure how far South this extends but it was out between 2nd & 3rd on Revo as well as Primera.

Water supply was broken somewhere by road maintenance crews. Most of Zone Norte, all the way South to Zona Este, were out of water.
The food court at the Cinemapolis was working as usual. Hotel Cascada closed the back door so a line of water trucks could pump water in. I thought the old trucks were pumping out sewage. Hotel Leyva and Restaurante La Perla had water.
Saturday morning 9 AM went to La Perla for breakfast, saw a Gringo sitting by himself so I came over to share a table. He was one of the better-known bro in this forum. I saw him a few times in HK and around La Zona before. It was very nice meeting him and had an interesting conversation. Needless to say he found La Zona a hog heaven and could not be happier. Where can we have fun, sweet, pleasant, flirty and sexy company of beautiful girls who aim to please without headaches, complications, manipulations, and without having to mortgage our whole lives away to some women who get lazy, ugly, nasty, fat and sexless?
Meanwhile, in the glassed-in bar, a couple old Mexican guys were drinking and singing mariachi music, at 9 AM? They must like drinking and singing a lot. The new waitresses were slow. I ordered eggs with sausages, but they brought out hot dogs. It took them forever to brew a pot of coffee. I took their pics and gave each a propina. They were happy.
I made a few very good friends through ISG, and in La Zona just by saying Hi to guys who look like they could be fun. We sure as hell have lots more fun than hanging out with other stiff, phony, boring people. They are all jealous that we can have lots of fun and sex with young, beautiful girls. There were some fresh and stunning young girls in HK Saturday afternoon. I have to spend more day time in HK.
When I die, I expect all HK and alley girls to cry their hearts out and my bros to write the most wonderful obituary. Hehehe.

If you need medical services, most Mexican doctors would not treat you unless you can speak good Spanish.
Dr. Jesus Lopez is fairly old and speaks enough English. He's on the West side of Revolucion, between Calle 2 and 3, in a long unmarked corridor behind a small farmacia. Ask the farmacias for Dr Jesus. They can point you. He did a careful examination and prescribed, all for 45 pesos.
A couple times I engaged Mexican doctors, they seem competent, compassionate, caring professionals, complete opposite the money-grabbing and prescriptions-selling quacks in the US.

I read somewhere, if you break the rules 3 times, CBP will yank your sentri card.I suppose it depends on which rule you break. Don't plan on a second chance if you get caught bringing mass quantities of recreational drugs into USA.
I agree with this comment. I suspect your Sentri card will not work when you try to pass through the gate at a maximum security Federal prison after being sentenced to prison for importing illegal drugs to the USA. A good movie on this subject is the true story of "Brokedown Palace" where an innocent girl visiting Thailand after graduating from high school is sentenced to 40 years in prison because her friend tried to smuggle drugs out of Thailand. .Don't let anyone have access to your suitcase or backpack or hold any package for anyone. Watch "Jailed Abroad" for numerous prison sentences due to drugs.

I know a guy who broke the rules 3 times in 3 years.
All 3 times he got sent into secondary inspection, costing 15 minutes to half hour. The last time the CBP guy went into the office for a long time, came back smiling, saying "You are damn lucky the office did not to yank your card. "
Needless to say he's very careful now. Sentri card is a significant privilege. It's no fun to wait 3 to 4 hours in READY or REGULAR lanes.
Of course if you are caught carrying illegal drugs, you will be in prison a few years and won't need Sentri. I have seen people arrested in secondary inspection a few times.

Rules are conducts required as conditions for interactions, whereas laws are rules formalized for conducts in society by congress, carrying serious consequences if breaking.
Smuggling contrabands is not breaking the rules, but breaking the laws. But CBP has been known to bend its rules for good citizens.

Been awhile since I checked ISG, and though I posted here before. Muchos kudos to the Cap and other mongers that regularly post here. I salute you. These things make it safe to do otherwise legal activities (in respective countries) in sketchy areas.
OK for newbies. And I know this will help scrolling through the threads. I have been a day walker lately given my long work days and tend to come during My weekend days. So.
Park at Las Americas outlet, walk to San Isidro and cross. Or can pay $7 to be closer parking behind JiB. Up to you. Rate was 18.1 pesos when I crossed in case you wonder. You can take yellow taxi to la zona for $5, don't let them ask for more. It's pretty much a given. But this time I tried UBER. How cool! Can choose uber English for same price. Guy was cool from Mexico City. 37 pesos. That's right $2 and no exchange of cash. Bad ass.
OK roll up and decide to do walk around the block. The core is truly a block, or a big block with the side alley in middle. Most of my paradita action is on the left side looking uphill. Anyway, didn't walk 20 ft and saw hot paradita and took her ariba. Negotiated for 300 for sin ropa, multiple positions, suckie fuckie. Hot, hot and was in sexy lingerie. Can see see section, like most of these girls, but was wet and willing.
Ate tacos at Sinoras across the street from Adalitas, Oxxo side. Was good and everything there 100 pesos. Can get cheaper tacos of more questionable quality on the street, but I usually like to put my elbows down.
Went again for round 2. Was actually not many cute chicas out. I've been here on a Weds night and it neck deep in fine pussy, it has its ebs and flow. But kinda hurting lately. Anyway took second girl with same terms and she was a spinner, and was good. 7 for looks while first was a solid 8. Thought she was 35 but said she was 26. Whatever. Both hotels were 70 pesos. Beds of questionable cleanliness compared to Hong Kong or Adelitas. But what you expect?
Done and time to go home. Didn't use with Uber this time and took taxi to border. Was right there and easy. Big tip. Get global entry which can get you in Sentri line. Fuck the regular line. Never again. Waited several times for 4 plus hours. That thing is evil. Great to just walk by everyone.
All in all less than $60 for travel to and back, 2 fantastic nuts and good tacos. No place on this planet can get a deal like that. Maybe there is let us know. Actually Indonesia has comparable prices but its different. Anyway. Of course when you got a pocket full of cash Adelitas and Hong Kong can give you crazy awesome GFE experiences. Just got to pay for more. But when you can afford it, it's worth it. Like a few on this forum, I been to a lot of places around the world and US. And this place is freaking awesome. Treat people with respect, be nice, don't be a pushover and be street smart and you'll have time of your life.

Damn. Just found another good bro.
I have been to many places overseas, but there are no other places like Tijuana on earth where you can find so many nice, pretty, sexy girls 24/7, who will give you the sexiest times of your life without costing you a fortune. Just don't put yourself at risks, protect yourself like you are walking downtown Los Angeles, and you will do fine.
Spartan is right. Treat the girls and the people of Mexico with courtesy and respect according any human, and you can have the sweetest, sexiest times.
Been awhile since I checked ISG, and though I posted here before. Muchos kudos to the Cap and other mongers that regularly post here. I salute you. These things make it safe to do otherwise legal activities (in respective countries) in sketchy areas.
All in all less than $60 for travel to and back, 2 fantastic nuts and good tacos. No place on this planet can get a deal like that. Maybe there is let us know. Actually Indonesia has comparable prices but its different. Anyway. Of course when you got a pocket full of cash Adelitas and Hong Kong can give you crazy awesome GFE experiences. Just got to pay for more. But when you can afford it, it's worth it. Like a few on this forum, I been to a lot of places around the world and US. And this place is freaking awesome. Treat people with respect, be nice, don't be a pushover and be street smart and you'll have time of your life.
I guess in order to get down to the truth, we need to know where that was written. Where was it written that you get to break their rules twice and still keep your Sentry Pass?What is written is contrary to what he stated.
Approved vehicles may not use the SENTRI lanes if unapproved persons are in the vehicle. Failure to adhere to this requirement will cause both vehicles and approved participants to lose their SENTRI privileges.

Hi all,
I'm planning to visit Tijuana early next week. I'm going to stay at Cascades Hotel for a couple of nights, planning to have sessions with both HK girls and SGs. I've read reports before saying to avoid the "alley" because of the choke holds. I'm not sure which alley is you guys talking about. Is the alley between Hotel Cascadas' back entrance and Hotel Eduardo (Primer Callejon Coahuila) safe?

But nowhere in Tijuana is safe if you look like you're a clueless gringo with lots of cash in your pocket.

La Zona's "alley," officially called Callejon Coahuila, behind HK and hotel Cascada, is much safer than average, with lots of mongers, girls, cops, bar touts, and security cameras. Have not heard of any robberies or assaults in that alley.
There are many other alleys in Tijuana, narrow corridors, connecting streets. It's wise to avoid going into any of those alleys as you can be easily ambushed, robbed, beat up. Even the alley across from Adelita, next to Mermaids massage and the OXXO store, had rateros staking out, grabbing wallets and jewelries, and run into the slum to hide.

It's the huge garage and parts store painted yellow at corner O'Campo and Calle 4.
Miguel speaks English and is a fun guy. He said having no wife, but 2 GFs in Tijuana. Their shop rate is about $20 an hour. The guy knows cars, is smart and good with his hands. He diagnosed the problems correctly, replaced 2 critical items and problems are fixed. The work was done expertly while I watched. I paid the shop $40 for labor and gave him 20 pesos for coffee.
This shop would change your oil for 95 pesos labor, if you bring the oil and filter, or buy them in their shop. I was there on Saturday morning at 10:30 AM. There was only 1 oil change ahead of my car, so he started on mine after 10 minutes wait.
Refaccionaria Del Valle.
Avenida Melchor Ocampo, Zona Centro, Tijuana, BC, Mexico.

The leaky exhaust manifold gasket was fixed for $60 by Rex muffler, at corner of Aqua Caliente and Ensenada, including an Alum alloy gasket that would cost about $70. The US shops did not diagnose the correct problems and wanted way too much money.
These shops are highly skilled and do honest business, cheap. Highly recommended.
Crossed the border today in the afternoon. Took the Libre Taxi (white / orange) to HK ($5), bought the VIP card for 850 Pesos. Went upstairs to the Cascadas hotel and the guy in reception said rooms are fully booked. Went to Hotel Riza de Oro, same thing. Not sure if just BS or the rooms are really fully booked.
Forgot to add, there was like more than 5 police cars parked in front of Oxxo and Las Chavelas. Not sure if its normal or not.

Cascada has been in high demand in the last 2 years. Arrived in reception Tuesday before 5 PM. Angel Cruz at reception told me both hotels were fully booked for 4 days, Monday until Thursday. He had a couple guys looking for my confirmation.
The bros should print out any confirmation and reservation and show them to reception, as they could never find any of my confirmation times and times again.
Cascada does not have a computerized reservation system, and it really sucks. Reception guys have a bunch of notes in their desk drawers. Also like most small hotels in Mexico, their reservations require no money down, so I suspect lots of guys would just book and never show and never cancel.
If you come back later and ask them a few times, they may have rooms for you.

Getting reports water has been off again in parts of Tijuana and Rosarito. Also some cuts to repaired or new pipeline scheduled in early April maybe around the 5th to 7th. Was in Centro yesterday plenty of water. It's a crap shoot of course just like finding soap, paper and water in any public restroom outside some of the more popular clubs.

The blue ones are nice but lack leg room if you are tall. Some go across the new bridge that will drop you a block from the Arch by Nelson Hotel.
Returning from Tijuana catch them on 2nd street just East of Constitution. They drop you back at the border but you have to walk back over the freeway bridge to Ped East or meander around to the new Ped West whichever you choose.

Apparently the new aircon bus will go from a new waiting stations just South of Ped East, to a main station on Coahuila just North of the Arch before it goes out East. But Ped East will be closed soon. It should pick up near Ped West.
When is it going to run? What hours does it operate?

http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2016/nov/30/citylights-tijuana-transportation-utopia/#.The stop is actually about midway between PedEast and PedWest. It's on the street in front of the plaza where many of the pharmacies are. To get to PedWest, you walk about 2/3 of the way across the plaza, to get to PedEast, you walk up the bridge that crosses the main highway that leads to the San Ysidro automobile crossing back to the U.S.
I was just in Rosarito 2 days ago water was running well and didn't hear or see any signage about a new pipeline coming down there.As Ninguno has reported, the outage will occur at midnight on 4 April (0:00 hours 5 April) and will last until the early hours of 7 April. It has been widely reported in local news sources from the state water authorities. The news outlets are reporting that CESPT will be doing repairs on the main water line. This will effect all areas of Tijuana, Rosarito, and Ensenada. These three municipalities share the same main water line. This is the same line they worked on last fall. Water was out in my Colonia in Tijuana for 5 days that time. Be prepared.

Walked in Tuesday about 1 pm. Counted 8 CHP agents lined up, 3 on the left 5 on the right. No sniffing pooch this time. WTF? They looked bored and were shooting the usual peer2 peer BS.
So now they are so overstaffed that they line up to randomly search people LEAVING the USA? I know, they are supposed to be looking for upwards of $10 K cash going into MX but other than that I see no justification for it. Even if they have a sudden Most Wanted alert would think that would be mostly handled by local police on THIS side of the border.
Someone set me straight, otherwise I'll just chill and bear it like we do most of the recent DHS BS.

Usually with a dog who greets you with a few sniffs. The this last time was way different. If it keeps up it is part of the new "administration" reallocation of priorities and tax dollars. Similar to what the federalies do in Mexico, cruising around flaunting their weapons to show the people they are standing up to the cartels. The locals all know the score. All for show.
I planned a trip to Tijuana from April 13-16th. I didn't know about how big of a deal Semana Santa was for Mexico.
Can anyone tell me how this holiday affects the nightlife in Tijuana? Specifically I'm talking about the clubs (Hong Kong) and general prostitution scene.
Are there more people around since it's the holidays? Or are there no girls working because they are traveling? I hope my trip isn't a waste because of the timing.

Easter week has little effect on working people in La Zona, including the girls in HK and on the streets.
The heavy year end holidays, between Christmas and mid January, have a lot of girls taking a long vacation to be home with their families, but the partying scenes in the clubs and on the streets are still lively with plenty of girls and mongers.
Younger single girls, without children and family ties, tend to work right through religious holidays.

Hello all,
I'm heading to Tijuana today at 10 pm and was curious if anyone could tell me where I could by some legit ED Drugs. I've gone to the pharmacy as soon as you exit the building next to the taxis. However, the Cialis was a dud. Want to pick some up today but was hoping someone could point me to a legit pharmacy.
Thank you.
Just ask the cabbie to stop by the pharmacia, he'll wait for you. There's one at the gas station around the corner. 4 figures for like 6 bucks. Not sure what the name brand goes for. There's a pharmacia across from the taxi stand but it's highway robbery, 4 for 20 bucks.

Hey guys,
Great forum and info. I live in LA and I'm considering a weekend in Tijuana. Tell me if this sounds reasonable. I'd go on a Friday afternoon, stay in the hotel Ticuan, and hit the Las Pulgas club at night and try my hand at landing a hot local girl and walking her back to the hotel for some good times. I'm a tall fit white guy in my late 30's and my Spanish is excellent because I lived in South America for a few years. If that fails then I figure I'd take a cab to Hong Kong or Adelitas or some similar place late night and see what that's all about and hopefully shoot a load at some point. Then back to the hotel for sleeping and then repeat until Monday morning. Are there better clubs to pick up locals? Maybe with some pros mixed in? All my forum reading seems to indicate that every BJ in Tijuana is covered. Really? If this is the case then hell I probably won't even go. I'd rather stay in LA and get a bare lubed handjob at a massage parlor than a freakin CBJ. Thanks for any expertise you can offer.

They are now going down Constitution all the way to and across the new Chapperal bridge to drop you near the Ped West. Or you can ride another block and be dropped just before the Pemex station where the traffic turnaround was before & talk ped bridge over freeway to the old Ped East.
It is still hit or miss if you board the van South of 2nd street on Constitucion as to which bridge they take. Same for entering Tijuana some will use the old bridge and drop off at Revo & 3rd. (unless you confirm if they will take a right on Consti and drop you at 2nd or down the hill further). If you have long legs you need the last row of seats or sit sideways as these vans have no leg room for gringo size adults.

Thank you.I never buy Viagra or cialis because they have never worked for me. I always buy Figral which is $3.25 for 4-5 100 MG pills. They look like a light blue teardrops in shape. Have the taxi drop you off at the Arch which is right in front of Hotel Nelson. Then walk walk east on Calle Primera, once you see the Museo de Cera de Tijuana look for Piri Pharmacy. The Pharmacy is directly in front of the Museum. Go inside and ask for Julia he will hook you up.
I usually buy 20 or so at a time which I only take half a pill because they work magically LOL.

There are plenty BBBJs to be had in Tijuana.
Club girls would do it if they are horny, or if they are offered extra incentives.
A few street girls would do it as part of their 200 or 300-peso suckie, fuckie sessions: Juri at hotel Mini, Karla at El Porton ect. Most would do it for extra money. Try to talk nice with 100 pesos.

I'd rather stay in LA and get a bare lubed handjob at a massage parlor than a freakin CBJ. Thanks for any expertise you can offer.In no particular order:
Yes, most paid BJs from Zona chicas in Tijuana will be covered, at least until you become a regular client. Exceptions abound but you have to ask and negotiate. Escorts tend to BBBJ, but it's not universal. Civvies are another story entirely.
Sure, there are shitloads of clubs where locals go. All over Zona Rio, in Col. Cacho, lots of much smaller bars all over the place. But if this is your first time, you'll have a hard time finding them. Las Pulgas is probably one of the most famous and is generally packed on weekends. That may be your best bet, but obviously you're not Mexican. The "hot local" girls tend to go with either their BF, or with other GFs. It will be difficult to get somebody you just met to leave her group and go with you, a strange gringo, to your hotel. Not impossible, just difficult. Mexican girls tend to be much more conservative than they appear.
Your plan sounds fine, otherwise.
Figral a Mexican brand of Viagra.Yes it is. Sorry his name is Julian not Julia. If you youtube "Mercado de Piri " you will see my good friend.

I had the cab stop while I ran into Piri. It wasn't too late but he was closed. I like Viagra because it's the non-generic, but figral works just as well. I buy the 50 mgs because I only need about 25 MG and I've heard with the 100 MG generics they are bad at ensuring the active ingredient is spread out over the entire tab, so you might get a lot out of a half or none in the half you chew. So I get the 50 MG. A 50 MG of viagra in states: $30 each.

Welcome to sunny, warm, dry Tijuana and the hot, sexy La Zona Norte.
If it was my first time on a Saturday day trip to Tijuana, I would take a taxi from the border straight to Hong Kong club. Go in, grab a drink, relax, get in the partying mood, enjoy the beauty, grace, charms, youthfulness and flirtiness of dozens young girls who want to party and have fun with strangers like you. Depending on what time, but there should be plenty of good-looking girls in HK after 10 AM.
If I find a few pretty girls who strike my fancy, I would mosey over, smile and squeeze a few $ into their bras and panties to check out their God-given assets and to make friends. If I find one who matches my requirements of size, shape, beauty, warmth, fun, friendliness, I would take her hand and lead her to a couch, buy her a few fichas and get very close and personal with her. She would normally do her lap dance, rubbing her assets all over you, grabbing your dick ect. Trying to get you aroused for a hot session in the hotel. Some would even do tongue kissing. Squeeze a few $ into her crotch while you play with her. If she's all sweet smiling, flirting and you have the hot for her, make an initial offer of 1,000 pesos (un mil) or $60 to go upstairs (para arriba). Usually after a few fichas she would take that offer, or may bargain for a little more money.
She will take your hand and lead you to the hotel, manage the hotel reception, cleaning crew and arrange everything for you from then on. Tell her what you want her to do with you and what you want to do with her sexy body. Tell her she's pretty and sexy. Tell her you love her and will take care of her kids! Just flow with the sexy feelings of the moment. Look deep into her eyes. Tenderly kiss and caress her entire body. Suck on her tits. Kiss her sexy crotch, suck her clit and lick her wet, swollen pussy. Act like you are in love with her, her beautiful body and her sweet personality. Mexican girls are nice, sweet, gentle, giving, not to mention pretty, sexy and horny. You will likely have one of the hottest, sexiest sessions of your life.
I suggest going to HK first Just to make sure you won't miss out on the best experience in Tijuana before setting out on your itinerary. After HK, all offers in Tijuana are second rate. You may want to check out the other major bars in the same block, Las Chevelas, Adelita, Tropical, Valentina, Golden Corrals, Malquerida. You can walk around the bars, checking on the girls without having to stay or buy anything. You may want to sample the tacos at the popular stand West of HK.
If you still have time, you should walk East on Coahuila alley, South on Constitucion, then East on Calle 1, checking on street girls on the way to the Arc. Quite a few street girls would turn heads in LOS Angeles. Stop by the plaza next to hotel Nelson and the Arc, where there are usually music and performances on weekends. Walk South on Revolution, check out gift shops, restaurants and bars, take pictures with the famous donkey that is rumored to have starred in Tijuana's sex shows hehe.
You can visit a doctor on Revo, have prescriptions and buy all sorts of medicines for about 25% US prices. When you want to go home, grab a taxi and tell him "La Linea," Ped East or Ped West. Try to avoid the long pedestrian line between 4 to 6 PM on weekends.
Tijuana is sunny, fun, sexy, exciting to visit. Mexicans are warm, fun, friendly, humble and polite. I have not been robbed, assaulted or insulted in 17 years going to Tijuana just about every weekend.

I need more info about the The famous taco stand around the corner of Coahuila and ninos heroes?
The tacos are great the place is always busy and I eat there every time, but last week I ate like 5 tacos at night and I woke up next morning with bad abdominal cramps that made me sweat in pain and I'm not joking! It took 5 Immodium and pepto bismol in one hour to stop the suffering.
I think this time I got a batch of bad tacos or maybe was the sauce. Is this stand safe to eat often or should I look somewhere else safer and cleaner?
The tacos here are great-but this corner looks filthy and I always ask myself did the cook ever wash the towel he uses on the meat block?

I had the cab stop while I ran into Piri. It wasn't too late but he was closed. I like Viagra because it's the non-generic, but figral works just as well. I buy the 50 mgs because I only need about 25 MG and I've heard with the 100 MG generics they are bad at ensuring the active ingredient is spread out over the entire tab, so you might get a lot out of a half or none in the half you chew. So I get the 50 MG. A 50 MG of viagra in states: $30 each.Hahahhaa. Funny. But read this. 11% of the trial sample got a har don with a sugar pill. Now that is funny. Power of suggestion is a powerful force.
Results.
Ten randomised controlled trials fulfilled the inclusion criteria (2123 men given sildenafil and 1131 placebo). NNT or NNH were calculated for important efficacy, adverse event and discontinuation outcomes. Dose optimisation led to at least 60% of attempts at sexual intercourse being successful in 49% of men, compared with 11% with placebo; the NNT was 2.7 (95% confidence interval 2.3 to 3.3). For global improvement in erections the NNT was 1.7 (1.6 to 1.9). Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 30% of men on dose optimised sildenafil compared with 11% on placebo; the NNH was 5.4 (4.3 to 7.3). All cause discontinuations were less frequent with sildenafil (10%) than with placebo (20% Sildenafil dose optimisation gave efficacy equivalent to the highest fixed doses, and adverse events equivalent to the lowest fixed doses.

Saturday morning 3 girls in street clothes were in front of Mermaids luring guys in. They looked nice clean fresh without make up on their faces.
Quality of girls in mermaids has improved somewhat, but they present the girls in street clothes, so they may not look so attractive with their clothes off. They used to charge $60 for 1 hour of massage; any sex is extra, adding another $60 to $80 tip to the girl, which is steep.You can get 45 minutes combined with massage and girl full service for $80. Jimena at Mermaids is pretty amazing- real GFE and no drama.

It's very dusty and filthy around that taco stand. The guys would handle raw meats and tortillas, and never wash their hands. The only time I got the stomach run was with the guacamole sauce, which is rich, creamy and acid neutral, good medium for bacteria to breed.
A safer food place would be the taco restaurant next to the cart. It's a little cleaner and the environment is better controlled. They no longer have the taco Al Pastor meat in the spit, but serve all sorts of other kinds of juicy meats. You can also sit down on tables to enjoy your food, recommended.
Other than that 1 time, I never had stomach problems in Tijuana.
I need more info about the The famous taco stand around the corner of Coahuila and ninos heroes?
The tacos are great the place is always busy and I eat there every time, but last week I ate like 5 tacos at night and I woke up next morning with bad abdominal cramps that made me sweat in pain and I'm not joking! It took 5 Immodium and pepto bismol in one hour to stop the suffering.
I think this time I got a batch of bad tacos or maybe was the sauce. Is this stand safe to eat often or should I look somewhere else safer and cleaner?
The tacos here are great-but this corner looks filthy and I always ask myself did the cook ever wash the towel he uses on the meat block?

It would not be surprising if some sort of nasty microscopic creatures within the tacos (or toppings) caused your problems. Some people will only eat cooked food in Mexico because of that very concern. That being said, I've been to many of the Zona Norte street vendors and have never had a problem.
Five tacos is a lot. I used to eat 3 per meal, now I can only eat 2 or I will have symptoms similar to what you describe.

I can only wait in cold sweat for imodium to start working.Whenever I travel abroad or feel adventurous about food I always carry "activated charcoal and pure oregano oil" with me. These two remedies can be taken separate and are proven to provide relief by neutralizing and expelling harmful parasites and toxins from your body. Pepto and Imodium only mask the symptoms and do not address the underlying cause. Research "activated charcoal and pure oregano oil" (WebMD, etc) to gain valuable information about these products. Activated charcoal can usually be found in GNC, Vitamin Shop, etc. I purchased my oregano oil from Whole Foods, the product line is called "Now essential oils".

Thanks captain, HorseT, MongerH. Appreciate your advice about eating in Tijuana.
This time was worse than I thought.
I arrived home feeling better that day but the next day my trip to the toilet had mucus with some light streaks of blood with a strong fish odor, sorry guys for the details.
I did everything right to avoid getting food sick I always do when in Mexico I even washed my cilantro twice with Ciel bottle water.
The cilantro came with a lot dirt you don't want to eat dirt.
I used to think you can't get sick with grilled meat straight from a hot grill but like Captain said the cook has dirty hands and keeps picking up raw meat and the tortillas at the same time and never cleaning his hand, very good observation Captain!
I'm an older 50 yr old guy my stomach and guts are not as strong as when younger so I have to be very careful what I eat. If I have to pick a culprit I'm moving toward the red hot sauce or the tortillas contaminated with raw meat.
Hilarious that same night I was thinking skipping the tacos and getting the Chinese from the alley just to know which one would kill you faster! My experience with food poisoning twice in Ensenada eating the seafood from the poison carts. The local Mexicans told me it is common to get food sick in Ensenada but not in Tijuana? Few years ago I got really sick in Santa Barbara with a packed potato salad from a supermarket. That same night got shakes, chills and fever that was one mean salad.
I once was told from a Ucla Dr who told me the reason some people eat bad food and they don't get sick is because they have formed an inmune to protect them from bacteria, this doctor also told me most people in 3rd world countries have parasites living in their guts and they don't even know it.
So for me back to eat chips and milky ways from oxxo.

Welcome to sunny, warm, dry Tijuana and the hot, sexy La Zona Norte.
If you still have time, you should walk East on Coahuila alley, South on Constitucion, then East on Calle 1, checking on street girls on the way to the Arc. Quite a few street girls would turn heads in LOS Angeles. Stop by the plaza next to hotel Nelson and the Arc, where there are usually music and performances on weekends. Walk South on Revolution, check out gift shops, restaurants and bars, take pictures with the famous donkey that is rumored to have starred in Tijuana's sex shows hehe.
You can visit a doctor on Revo, have prescriptions and buy all sorts of medicines for about 25% US prices.
I didn't know about the street girls on Calle 1. I've only been shopping for girls in the alley behind HK. How does Calle 1 compare to the HK alley? What are the best times to visit Calle 1 for SWs? I've been up and down Ave Constitucion and Revolucion but never ventured down Calle 1. How many girls does one typically find there on a Friday or Saturday evening? How late can I walk down Calle 1 before I need to start really worrying about my safety? When you find a girl on Calle 1, do you usually just take a taxi for the both of you back to Hotel Cascadas or whichever hotel you're at? How do the prices on Calle 1 compare to the HK alley prices? Why are the Calle 1 girls not working in the HK alley?
Where does one find doctors on Revolucion? Do they just hang out in the pharmacies? Or do you just look for clinics and ask to see a doctor in a random clinic? How much do the doctor visits usually run to get a scrip for something? Do they give you a paper scrip that you carry to the pharmacy to get filled?

I do get heartburn if I take a chica upstairs right after devouring those tacos, for some reason I keep burping the smoke from the grill for hours, I always skip the onions and the green stuff from the 5 gallon bucket they call guacamole?

OK, what you guys think are places safe to eat in the zona norte or any other clean place with great food, also I have no problem taking a taxi to a better place as long is not too expensive or too fancy just a to-go place while my cab driver waits for my order to be ready and just bring it back to my hotel.
I only had food from the taco stand I previously mentioned and the small place right next to hotel Coahuila where AB girls eat. Where can I find good fresh big burritos with flour tortilla and french fries, I'm a little tired of eating tacos and corn tortillas so I want to try something different.
I also like the Mexican tortas which is a sandwich in soft Mexican bread with grilled steak or fried breaded steak.

Birreria is a Guadalajara specialty and you will only find locals or people familiar with Birreria and/or Guadalajara culture.

Take a cab to 11th and Ocampo and visit the gastropark. You'll find some of the best pork sausage ever.
Large burritos are really an American thing. They are rare in Tijuana.
Just curious if you can find Asians in Tijuana? If so, do they do the same massage combo as in the States?

You are not missing much on Calle 1. I only walk Calle 1 in broad daylight, in the middle of the street, when there are lots of people around.
On the East side there are a couple girls, much heavier than I like. The only notable girl is Brenda from Acapulco in front of hotel Elva. She started years ago as a sweet-18 in front of hotel Cascada. She must be over 30 now, still very nice, attractive and accommodating, rumored to do bare backs and anals with a few guys. Street Girls have working relationships with hotels where they post, and usually only go to their hotels.
Going West there are a couple decent girls at the corner of Constitucion. Further West near hotel Velario there are big, tall girls with bulky crotches. Hehe.
Unless you can communicate clearly, Tijuana doctors will not treat you. I know of Dr. Jesus on the West side of Revo between Calle 2 and 3. He speaks adequate English and will do exams and prescriptions. Ask the farmacias to find him. With the presc you can go to any farmicia and have them filled.

Forgot to mention Dr. Jesus charges 45 pesos (about $2.5) for a physical exam and script.
There are dozens doctors in that block, but unless they can clearly communicate with you, they won't treat. Office visit costs 45 pesos during office hours and 60 pesos at night and on weekends.

Hey all,
I asked a similar question in the Escorts-specific page but not a lot of discussion is happening there.
I've done a some research to see what some of the Tijuana options are but would like some advice from people who know first hand.
My lady and I would like to cross the border on foot at the 5 fwy, be picked up by a taxi and taken directly to a place nearby the border to see an agency escort. I was wondering which agencies you all recommend to make this simple, with good quality girls that offer GFE. Not worried about price. A nice atmosphere would be a plus. Also, it's not necessary but an agency with Asians would be cool (if that's even possible).
Thanks so much for the advice and tips!

I can tolerate it fine no side effect, the 20 MG at once can kick like a mule I can get headache and red eyes go easy with alcohol when talking Cialis.
I'm going to be in Tijuana again from 4/24- 4/27. Going to be staying a t hotel Velario while I'm there, and planning on using my VIP card at HK to stay in Cascades the 1st night which is a Monday.

Why just the other day an amigo was making that walk and one of those english speaking deportees latched on to his ear wanting who knows what. The cops swooped in took the deportee in the truck. Searched my amigo but ended up letting him go. Still a delay you want to avoid.

Hotel Hacienda de Santiago on Coahuila is nice, clean, quiet, relatively safer, in a nice, clean, well lighted area, with policia on foot patrol along Coahuila and at intersections.

I'm sure all those creatures you mentioned they do exist at that corner street.
I always ask my order to go I just can't eat there Is just too dirty to watch and all the beggars pushing you around. The bloody dirty rag the guy wipes the butcher block must be the most disgusting. Every disease must be living in the dirty rag. You don't want to take it to a lab and see the results LOL!
Maybe that small place next to AB is cleaner because I see girls there eating all the time. If you see women eating there, it must be clean, just saying!

Hotel Hacienda has a few different sizes of room, some with fridges and stoves, $25-30, with weekly discount etc. Including parking.
Hotel Leyva next to Chicago Club, $22-25 including parking. The old wing shares a wall with Chicago, with music thumping all night. The new wing is quiet with bigger rooms.
Both hotels are in cleaner, better, safer area close to the bars and the alley. Both are owned by the same family. Their prices sure beat Cascada's $55 single.

It would be good if we create some competition for the Cascadas / HK mafia.A double room on the weekend right now is around 550 to 580 pesos (Friday, Saturday & Sunday).
Single rooms are around 50 to 60 pesos less per night and the costs of weekdays (Mon. -Thurs.) is also around 50 to 60 pesos less.
The Leyva family owns both Hotel Leyva and HDS and they frequently change their (reasonable) rates.

Still decided to come down but cutting my trip shorter than I had originally planned. There have always been shady characters around but there are so many now I can't even keep track. I just power walk everywhere and keep my head on a swivel but it can get tiring always being on egde like that. I'm also walking in the middle of the streets.
I do see some new faces on the streets so that's nice. I think the looks of the street girls have improved as well, either that or my standards are dropping, probably a little of both. There are some pretty ones on constitution ave, I took two that work out of the hotel el legado, Kelly is a 20 year old from Veracruz, she has sexy dark tanned skin. Another one I took up is Kristal, she's 21 from the. Df. She's got braces and looks like she could be a teen model, I was surprised how pretty she was. Her body has some damage from 2 kids though. 200 pesos for both for straight sex, less than 12 bucks right now with the exchange rate so can't complain. This hotel is pretty nasty though, don't take off your socks!
Have taken a few from the alley as well, nothing really memorable but took up a girl named Blanca in the alley because she looked just like a girl I barfined in the Philippines five years back, so I had to take her up for memories. Jet black hair, kinda Asian looking, said she's 26 from Puebla. Was wearing thigh high stockings. She was the only one that asked for payment first, all others I paid after. I actually like the girls on constitution better for some reason, less clock watching and friendlier.
Went to Hong Kong as well, always a good time for a while until I start to get anxiety from all the hustle going on. There is some top level talent walking around, anyone know who the light skinned black girl with the pierced nipples is during the day? Didn't take anyone up though because I can get 80 dollar screws where I live, got a couple regulars from night shift, so not going to pay 80 or more in Mexico.
Still looking for a place to chill between sessions, the best place I can find is the Bar Nelson but that's getting boring. Any suggestions on where to refuel between sessions that is close to the zona but not too close? Or is Bar Nelson as good as it gets?

Cascada's rack rate for singles is $55 week days and $65 weekends. Damn robbers.
They charge $17 or 280 pesos for 30-minute with HK's girls, but only $5 or 80 pesos for 20 minutes with alley girls in the same ST rooms on second floor. The hotel gives out 25% commission to the girls for room use.
Rates for HK chicas and Cascada's rooms are just way too high for the market. There are way too many chicas in the club competing and most have been doing very little business. The poor girls just hang out for weeks without making any fichas or sex money.
Hot street girls working in HK have all struggled and complained. A few very hot HK girls went to work in the alley for lower rates but with reliable higher volumes.
Their prices sure beat Cascada's $55 single.
Cutting trip shorter is good strategy.

Her body has some damage from 2 kids though.In my opinion, Kristal at Hotel Legado was hands-down the prettiest street girl in the ZN when I was frequenting, though it's been over a year since I've been there. Even prettier than Ximena, though without the height. I co-sign your assessment; girl model looks all the way. She doesn't provide much as far as GFE, but I guess that's to be expected from most street girls.
I've been virtual-mongering vicariously through you all here on the Tijuana board for the past year and have finally booked my return for May 20. I can almost taste the pussy as I type this!

.Rates for HK chicas and Cascada's rooms are just way too high for the market. There are way too many chicas in the club competing and most have been doing very little business. The poor girls just hang out for weeks without making any fichas or sex money.HK and Cascadas serve a certain portion of the market that isn't served as effectively by any other businesses in Zona Norte. Where are you going to find more attractive, younger, slender girls, with a clean hotel? More of the HK girls speak English than at the other bars. I find AB to be a distant 2nd place. Sometimes I select girls from AB, LC, or BT, but usually I find what I want in HK. I try to get a good price, but if there is something that I really want in HK, I will pay whatever it takes (within reason). I'm sure there are others just like me. Neither Hong Kong nor Cascadas appear to be going broke.
It's difficult to tell when the girls go without making sex money. They can slip out and then come back without you ever noticing. Grab a seat at either the north or south end of the main floor and observe how many times you see girls go out the door with a man. I have 2 favorites who are best friends and often they seem to make zero money; I used to worry about their finances. I know these girls well enough so they will tell me exactly how they are doing that day and for a few days prior. Sometimes they tell me they made nothing except a few $1 tips. Sometimes they give me a big smile and tell me they made well over $200. I no longer worry about their finances.
Obligatory joke:
Let's just say Jesus Christ wasn't the only one that rose again today.
With that out of the way, on this trip, my objective was to tryout some street girls. At around 11:00 am I arrived at HK, got my free drink and walked around, taking in the view. Non caught my eye so after about 15-20 minutes, I head out the back.
Did something happened in the Zona recently? The place was crawling with policia. There were policia literally standing right next to HK's bouncer and plenty more roaming the alley. I'm not sure what they were doing there but there was a guy standing in front of Cascada's alley entrance selling pills to passerby so whatever they were after, dick pill sellers weren't high on their priority.
Anyways, I still ventured out and after a scans, I spot this girl in normal clothing, as in she wasn't wearing tight yoga pants / mini skirts, stockings, stripper heels. She wore a normal skirt, top and comfortable looking shoes. As I walked towards her, this old Mexican guy zoomed in on her and whispered something into her ear. At this point, I was thinking okay, she has a customer, but after a few back and forth he walks off. I don't know the proper etiquette on how long you are supposed to wait before moving in so I just gave her a min or two before I made my offer.
I whispered to her, sucky no fucky, condom si, trecentos. She replied quickly with si and lead me to the counter. This motel is where the Eduardo would be if you look at google maps. I guess they tore it down and just have a simple hallway now? The room was $5 and came with condom / paper towels, and maybe lube, but I'm not 100% sure of lube since I really wasn't paying attention. The room, was not pleasant but it didn't matter, I was there for a CBJ and that's what I got. She did asked for the money upfront, I have no qualms about paying first and it was only 300 pesos so I obliged. With that, I dropped my pants, wiped myself, asked her to keep her clothes on and had her squat in front of me. She even wore cute panties! The girl was nervous, not sure if it was an act or real but it kinda turned me on. She kept asking me if it was okay and I replied with "si". I gave her a 200 pesos tip and she seemed to be quite happy with the tip. The room did have a sink, but I wasn't going to use that to clean myself, Wet One Wipes to the rescue.
After that encounter, I headed back to HK to recharge. This spinner, about 25-30, curly hair wearing a pink frilly dress with a black mid was working the room. She was really friendly with everyone. I didn't make a play for her but I enjoyed how she worked. She wasn't on her phone and was having a good time. HK need more girls with her work attitude. I was blessing her with tips throughout the day, and before I left, I talked to her while she was on the bar pole and ask if she did lap-dances. She replied that she did and offered me a BBBJ for $40 during the lap-dance. I didn't accept the offer but mentioned that I would take her upstairs on my future visit. In total, I gave her well over $30 in tips, I felt her up about twice, because I simply enjoyed her personality and zeal.
I headed back to Pedwest at around 03:00 pm. The Ready Lane practically had no line until the CBP yard. The General line was backed up by what looks like an Asian tour group, that line wasn't moving.
Total damage:
$8 parking behind Jack in the Box.
$12 taxi ride to and from.
1,000 total for 2 SG (tip included).
$10 motel fee.
$100 in tips, it's Easter and I sorta went tip crazy.
$15 in drinks. Did the trick were I took the water bottle and filled it with sink water to keep the waiters at bay.
All in all, I had just as much fun as my prior trips, but I spent less money by using SG and $5 hotels. It's true that HK's rooms are nicer and the girls are near model quality, but these SGs just have a certain charm to them and the dirtiness of the rooms makes me hot, mostly because I'm not taking off my cloths while doing the deed.
P.S. Wet One Wipes are your best friend in the Zona.
P.S.S. I don't take Vitamin V and I know I reached my limit for the day. I really hope that spinner is there on my next trip. She really looked like she would be a lot of fun upstairs.

There has been an increase in gun violence in and around LZ, so there has been an increase in policia presence.
The Eduardo is still there, and you apparently used one their rooms. The Eduardo hotel owners knocked down some ground floor wall sections in the front and rear, so now you can see right through the central hallway of the two-story hotel from the alley.
FYI: Your request of the Eduardo chica was fairly modest (CBJ and no fucking). I don't know which Eduardo chica you propositioned, but with such a modest request you likely would have received a yes even if you only offered doscientos pesos. Glad you had a good time.

Newer beds too. Not quite finished. The ST room charge is 50 pesos now, up from 30 pesos. You paid almost double! The girls around that place would give CBBJ or BBBJ with fucky for 300 pesos including tip. That's what I pay but do add on more tip if the girl was great.

As for the motel, I will definitely keep that in mind next time.
Everyone stay safe out there.

I think there was an extended discussion about the Otay crossing in this section, but it focused on the car crossing. Can anyone advise on the northbound Otay ped crossing? I plan on coming back into the states on a Sunday late morning / early afternoon. I know San Ysidro is horrendous at that time.
Thanks.
Is it possible to enter Tijuana at PedWest, or do I have to enter on foot near the Trolley station?

Out of habit I always brush my teeth with bottled water, but I've used tap water before with no issues.

Mexicans can drink their tap water and nothing will happen to to them. In Peru, they make a special drink from their tap water and it tastes real good. I wanted to drink it and I was laid out for days with diarrhea while Natives drink it everyday without any issues. Same in Philippines. Street food lays out in the hot weather all day long and the locals eat it without any issues and I again had diarrhea for many days. Now, I just use bottled water wherever I go as a precaution as I no longer have a All World Stomach and I cannot eat and drink whatever I like! Just caution.

My only point was that, in Tijuana, it's not so contaminated that the residue from rinsing one's mouth will make you instantly sick. I've had that problem once in Bali, and got salmonella years ago from a fish taco in Ensenada. It took several hours for the symptoms to appear. I'm just saying that a tiny bit of tap water wouldn't have made him sick so quickly. I suspect something else, earlier in the day.

I agree, I too rinse fruit and while I am in the hotel (depending on which) I use bottle water to brush my teeth. But if I do rinse, I make sure the water is running hot and then let my fruit dry before eating. While in Cuba, I've learned this. Pretty interesting, the locals there boil the water and put it into empty liter plastic bottles after the water has cooled. Then place them in freezers for cold drinking when weather is really hot. I thought this was a way they make ice only but its a practice there so that they can drink it. I can get into more details but that is another board. Either way, drinking water from tap directly is highly not advised.

If you don't trust Mexican bottlers, bring a large bottle. If you're driving, bring a frickin' case!
Or if you want to make it really complicated, dig a tunnel under the border, and hook up a very long hose!

Most Tijuana visitors would drink and brush their teeth strictly with Tecate bottles.

This is a comped stay. But My plan is to fly in to San Diego Friday morning, get a rental car, then head to the border to stay at Hotel Cascades Friday and Saturday night. Then head back to the border on Sunday to drive back to Harrah's and check in there. Is there a good place to leave a rental car at the border then catch a cab?

To easy to park on the USA Side and catch a taxi to Zona Norte for $4 . Best place to park is Holiday Lodge on San Ysidro Blvd. Next to Burger King for $5. 99 for 24 hours. Only problem is lot fills up quick on weekends. Also keep in mind you now need a passport or passport card to enter Tijuana on foot from San Ysidro.
Good chance I will be around Saturday for a day trip. And Tue. And wed. To meet up with an amigo who will be making a return trip to Tijuana.
Mexican Visa:
Visa required into Tijuana / Mexico issued at the crossing.
1 to 7 days no fee.
8 to 180 days around $23.00.
On line option, pay, print and stamp at the border.
Return to USA / Blue Line Trolley:
Sentri. Slight. New Temporary structure.
Ready (Passport Card) moderate.
General. Long line.
Good info below.

Last time I was crossing into US from Tijuana via Pedwest, I couldn't believe how long they were at the time. But there was no clear cut sign for Sentri. I remember two signs splitting the lines into two long lines. I think one was ReadyLane and one was Standard Lane. I was waiting in the line where I saw most American-looking people.
Now I have Sentri and want to go back. Which line do I have to stand in for Sentri- the right or left. Or, do you just walk between the 2 lines and walk to the front? Because last time I noticed there were people that just passed and walked on through between us.

If you're standing in an impossibly long line and you are Sentri or Global Entry, then you are standing in the wrong place.

The 805 is actually more direct that the 5, and stays away from downtown congestion. (IMO, YMMV).

That technique applies to PedEast. The PedWest northbound should have no flow of people against you. Or, has southbound traffic started at PedWest since my last visit?Not sure where he is referring to. There is no flow of people leaving at Ped East or West.

Not sure where he is referring to. There is no flow of people leaving at Ped East or West.I believe UltraHappy and HorseTrader are referring to the path taken by pedestrians entering Mexico. At PedEast the taken by pedestrians entering Mexico is right next to the pedestrian line for folks leaving Mexico and entering the United States.

Because those lines no longer cross and the change occured over a year ago.

Over the past several months, I've seen many references to Pedeast and Pedwest. Just read a quick breakdown of it on San Diego Red. Still not so clear to me and wasn't able to glean so much from RTFF. Can I get a little help in gaining a better understanding? Haven't been to Tijuana since February 2016. Thanks.
1. Pedwest can only be used to enter USA, correct?
2. Is Pedeast or Pedwest quicker?
3. Can I easily get to Pedwest from the old cab drop off spot, "La Linea"? How?

Now that I think about it, you are correct BS. The last time I entered Tijuana on foot was in January, and the path into Tijuana after customs was all east of the pedestrian lines going into the US.
And yes, that path was no longer crossing, and adjacent to the general & ready lines.

2. Several factors come into play on this one. To unpredictable if you are crossing at a time of day when the lines are pretty bad. Pedwest seems a better option to handle larger crowds. However if its say 11 at night and you are going to the trolley or parked by Jack in the box. Pedeast would most likely be quicker.
3. If you want to try Pedwest just tell the cabbie to take you to Chapparel.

When you approach the border, the line of waiting cars is much longer on 805 than on 5.
The busiest times on Friday and Saturday afternoon, the car line is much shorter on 5. Try it.
405 south to 5.
5 south to 805.
805 south to border.

The busiest times on Friday and Saturday afternoon, the car line is much shorter on 5. Try it.I've been crossing about twice a week for over a year now. Usually around 2:00 PM on a Tuesday or Thursday. I usually let Waze pick my route; and it usually picks the 805.
I've never seen any significant difference between the "line of waiting cars". In fact, I've only seen any line at all about twice, when the Border Patrol was creating a bottleneck right at the border.
I've never seen any significant difference between the "line of waiting cars". That is because of the time and days you are crossing. Friday and Saturday in the late afternoon / evenings are quite different.
That is because of the time and days you are crossing. Friday and Saturday in the late afternoon / evenings are quite different.Yes, if you go after 11 pm, US entry takes 10 min. If you go on Sunday evening, it takes 1 hour +. There are websites out there that will show you current wait times.
In general are you observing a lower traffic volume between the two countries? Gone are the consistently long (40 min+) wait times in the afternoons. Thu I crossed into USA at 4 pm and was the 5th car in line (wait time 5 min) and only 5 regular lanes were open. So in all only 30 cars were waiting to cross the border. Wow.
Volaris has canceled flights from Oakland (SF Bay area) to Tijuana due to lack of passengers. Seems the Trump effect is scaring off Mexicans. Hopefully our hobby is not impacted.
In general are you observing a lower traffic volume between the two countries?I usually queue up, driving northbound, at Otay, around 3:00 PM. After the election, the lines became very short, for a while, but they're back up to normal now. Except last Thursday; for some reason, the lines were about five cars long in the Ready Lane, and fifteen in the Regular lane.
But tonight, around 5:00 PM, I took a look at San Ysidro, and it was backed up so badly, in both Regular lane and Ready lane, that I split for Otay. Otay was much better, but still well over an hour in the Ready lane, and worse in the Regular lane.
So I'm not sure how much of a long-term impact Daffy Donald has had.

4 to 8 PM Saturday and Sunday lots of people head home after their quick visits to families and friends in Tijuana. Those are the worst time to cross back in cars or on foot.
Traffic gets much less crowded after 8 PM on weekends. It's better to sit in strip joints, drink a few more beers, ogle the young, sexy chicas, than spending time waiting in line at the border.
BTW how was your drive to Otay Mesa on the dark, twisty 2-lane dirt road on the edge of the mesa, looking down that deep valley without guardrails? Looks like there are a few crumpled cars at the bottom of the valley.

If you have 2 guys in a car, 805 has carpool lane along almost all its length, which can be faster.
So you can take the 805 carpool lane down past route 8, take I 15 South then merge into 5 South for the much shorter line of waiting cars to cross the border.
When you approach the border, the line of waiting cars is much longer on 805 than on 5.

Yes, I was there not during actual shooting but a few minutes later. Police had cordoned off the entire area.Today around 4 pm it was still closed and taped off so you couldn't walk past the door. Also a police truck was still parked in the median so as to block left turns of and. Bound traffic on Constitucion entering the alley.

Personally I believe that vehicle traffic should prohibited in the alley except for delivery and police cars. The alley is quite narrow and there is not a good reason for cars to be driving through there.

You may have taken Ruta 1, which is a major road but longer way going South into South Tijuana and Ensenada, so you don't see the steep valley separating the mesa from Tijuana.
I went by my GPS instructions. The route I took is more direct but has only 2 narrow, twisty lanes, some parts are just dirt or gravel, went West, passing just South of Tijuana airport, hanging on the edge of the mesa looking down a 500-ft deep ravine with no guard rail, no light. It goes straight into Zona Rio.
That road is very scary and hard to navigate. You may get lost easily. One small mistake and you would be tumbling hundred feet down the ravine.

Can you still cross the border and return to the states with just a state ID?
Today around 4 pm it was still closed and taped off so you couldn't walk past the door. Also a police truck was still parked in the median so as to block left turns of and. Bound traffic on Constitucion entering the alley.Actually they had removed the barricades by 3 pm or so. Hence they must have put the barricades / tape again.
On the previous night before the shooting (Sunday night), the military had done the same thing where they had secured an area and would not even let the police pass. I cannot recall if they had done this in front of Adelita or in front of Playboy / Malquerida.
In any case, WSWs told me violence in the La Zona is at its highest. I felt the same during this trip even before they told me so. I am a Tijuana veteran but never before today have I felt unsafe in the Zona. A shooting inside Malquerida is just too much. I believe this is the 2nd time this month that Malquerida has been the venue of a homicide. Maybe I should stick to HK / Adelitas and not spend so much time walking around in the alley or nearby areas.
With time, the drug dealers in the alley have become very bold indeed. They hand out individual pills in plain sight. The dealers have stared me down as I watch them at work. Very rarely do I see street walkers buying them. Homeless people including beggars are top customers. Waiters in HK are also bulk buyers or are simply taking delivery for sale to gringos in HK or to dancers in the HK. With so much drug money exchanging hands, violence and crime cannot be too far.
Young man named Ardy was killed at the malquerida yesterday. I remember seeing him there partying all the time. RIP. Was anyone around the zona that morning?This is the 2nd murder there in 2 years. Seems like a lot of bad hombres party there.

Actually, my business takes me well south of the Zona, and on the return leg, I come up the Libramento Sur, through La Mesa. It's pretty much an all-freeway route, until you get pretty close to the border.

Can you still cross the border and return to the states with just a state ID?Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Once you get into Tijuana, as a US citizen you will always be able to return to the United States with a valid state ID. Just be prepared to get a lecture from the CBP agent about how a passport is now required.
The 'sometimes yes, sometimes no' part has to do with trying to enter Mexico without a passport. Pedestrians entering Mexico at the San Ysidro port of entry are now screened by Mexican border agents to find out the length of their stay (longer than seven days requires their issuance of a 180-day visa at a cost that is {I think} around $30). There's been a recent announcement about this 180-the visa fee going up.
Last year the Mexican border agents were only warning gringos that they needed passports for entry to Mexico. But these days they've been known to often (but not always) turn away visitors only because they arrived at the border with no passport. I don't think the Mexican border agents are working this part of the border operations 24 hours a day. Fellow mongers report arriving at the border after midnight and simply walking through without agents at the entry issuing visas.
People arriving in Tijuana at San Ysidro via automobiles or motorcycles don't have this same process for getting visas and showing their passports. The just drive in and hope to get the automated green light.
Last year I forgot my passport and Mexican immigration officers detained and photographed and then recorded my info. They warned me that they would not allow me to cross again without a passport. Now you can cross if you apply for a passport and show them a receipt showing your proof of applicaton. I would bring birth certificate or copy of one with you however. This process seems like a big waste of time unless you are going for extended period of time in Mexico. I have never had a police officer in Mexico ask me for my one day Visa.

I don't think even Mexico's major entry ports, like San Ysidro or Otay Mesa, have means to record and on-line check of all passports of people crossing into their country. Unless Mexico has on-line capabilities which can quickly pull up info on the passport bearers, their checks are useless.
We would want Mexico to catch criminals fleeing the US. But while bogging down thousands pedestrians and charging them with expensive visas, so far tens of thousands car drivers every day just drive straight through the El Chaparral immigration check point, are never asked for any passports or sold any visas.
I was stopped for inspection twice in the last 5 years, one random and 1 due to wearing a low-down baseball cap hiding my face. But the Mexican immigration people never asked for my passport or visas, and were only interested in catching stolen or unregistered cars driven into Mexico tax-free, which is a big problem in border towns.
US CBP takes video images of all cars leaving the US, and can automatically identify license plate numbers, but Mexico has no such capability. They were checking registration papers against the VIN numbers on the dash board. The attractive agents were giggling that I was heading to la Zona Norte to party. Hehe.
I suppose tourists flying into resort towns like Cabo, Cancun and Acapulco ect. Now have to get in line to show passports and buy Mexico's visas. AFAIK, cruise ship passengers are exempted. The cost of visas will significantly reduce tourism to Mexico.

Hey Guys, here from the east coast in Tijuana to see family and friends, and I was scammed by a hotel and a girl, with help from the Police, out of $60.00. The Hote is diretly right across from Gloria's Bar On Constitution, a tiny way up from the famous area where the school girls use to do business. On May 2, I saw a short (may 5"4'.), dark haired, spinner with knee high stockings and a plaid skirt a wand paid $20 for the hotel, and $100 to her after we agreed to acts down stairs. When we got up to the air, she started to change the deal, and tried to get straight sin ropa for the $100, and nothing else......The rest of the quote is under the Hong Kong topic for whatever reason but my take is that it could be a certain SG and what was the Hacienda Hotel now called RAPID or similar if not mistaken. This kind of stuff has been going on for decades and will continue long after we are gone. It's unfortunate but chalk it up to collateral damage and additional factored in expenses. Prorated over a decade it is a drop in the bucket.
If you factor in not paying in pesos you actually lost more than $60. The chica would have likely been fine with 800 to 1000 pesos for an hour ($44-$55) . If not, you could have paid more in pesos and still came out ahead.
Sorry you had such a bad time but as previously mentioned, paying up front takes away any bargaining power, it is their word against yours and you are guilty by their terms.
Will be at HK later this afternoon. If anyone wants to have a beer, PM me.

I'll be in SD for work in a couple of weeks and I am planning to make late afternoon early evening trips across the border in the Zona at least two of the days. It has been several years since I last visited, but unless someone has a better idea I plan to stick to what I did last time of grabbing a quick Street girl as soon as I hit the Zona, relaxing and recharging with a couple beers and some scenery in HK or Adelitas, taking a second street girl up for a quicky, repeating the recharge process and then trying to pull a real beauty out of HK or Adelitas for a longer session to finish out the night.
What I have not done in the past and I'm hoping to get some advice here about, yes I would like to document my adventures a bit with a few X-rated photos or videos of the chicas I arriba with. Has anyone had any success getting Street girls and / or HK Adelitas girls to agree to photography in the room and be able to provide a few tips to increase my likelihood of success? My Spanish is elementary at best, so I'm sure that that will not help in the go she Asian's. If I am successful I will definitely share anything I can with the community.

Bar girls are more likely to allow pics than those on the street (standing) at least percentile. Easier to get pics after a session or more. Those who allow often have no problem but some want you to swear "no internet". A guy from out of town rarely in Tijuana may want to offer more $ but that doesn't always work.

Nothing is more erotic than reliving the sights and sounds (touches and smells too?) of your own porn. They are extremely exciting. I had many pics from street and bar girls in Tijuana and videos from other countries. Could not get Video in Cascada because the room is too small without places to hide cams.
Had full nude sex of some of the hottest street girls. Ask them nicely, most will grant pics, perhaps without faces. If they resist, offer 50 to 100 pesos tip.
Not too many HK girls would grant videos. But Dianna, a very hot spinner in HK, has proposed me a few times sessions with anything goes, including anal, pictures and porn videos; the only one proposing video. She usually hangs out on 2nd floor, but I have not seen her lately. Ask the stage handlers or floor managers where to find her.
Try asking other girls. They might do it. Pasha has posed for HK calendar a few times. She would probably be not shy in front of video cams.

Anyone has experience with the Mermaid massage? There is a guy giving leaflet in front Adelitas.Odd that he would be handing out leaflets in front of Adelita bar as they usually are West of HK. I've not gone upstairs for the massage (others here who have can chime in) but 15 yrs ago the bar there could be fun. Only when they had cute dancers that fit your preferences.
It is basically known as a "clip joint" and no, not the kind that cuts hair but cuts down the thickness of your wad of $$. Make sure you understand that if you go for the massage just how much you pay the house (hourly rate) and that any "extras" will be negociated with the girl. Perhaps that can be handled before you go up. I don't think they are blatant rip offs but due to lack of regulars they do have to milk newbies and out of towners as best they can.

Anyone has experience with the Mermaid massage? There is a guy giving leaflet in front Adelitas.Ninguno Especial is on point with that info, the hourly rate there is about $40 for the room and $40-$60 for the girl. I've personally been there a few times and had great experiences every time but you're not getting the level of quality girls for the money. You go to Hong Kong spend $80 plus room which is almost what you'll spend here but you'll get a much better girl. Also they advertise one dollar drinks which they never live up to the charge you double if they can so just be cautious of this establishment. You could either have a fantastic time or not just be prepared to walk.
Hello all,
This is a plea for advice from the folks who frequent Tijuana. Last time I was there, I used the uber and did not take any taxi. I felt that the rates were not bad but had to wait for the uber while I had the taxi right in front of me. I hear a lot about taxi libre in the forum. Are they better transport than uber? My Spanish is kind of elementary at best so negotiating skills are pretty non-existent.

Not speaking Spanish makes things more difficult for you to check and negotiate the price.
That said, sometimes Uber's surge price makes the trip more than a taxi would charge.
In my case, when the faves and I start drinking, I park the car and take Uber everywhere, except as stated above.

UBER does have disadvantage in Tijuana, having to wait.
Taxi Libres are cheaper than the Yellow Taxis, and are used more often by locals. Taxi Libres' metered rate between La Linea to Coahuila is only about 30 pesos.
Be specific about where you want to go, even write it down, Hong Kong Club, hotel Cascada, Adelita bar ect. Then hold out and show the driver 30 or 50 peso note to the taxis. One will stop, pick you up and deliver you to your destination without need for negotiation before and arguments after.

In my trips, I've purchased brand name Viagra and the generics. Maxifort and Figral. My experience. Virtually no difference where it counts. Viagra and Maxifort seem to have a hot flash / stuffy nose side effect. Figral gives me the weird color issues. All are normal or expected side effects.
My question is dosing. I always take 100 MG, only because that is what they gave me on my first trip. In the interest of maximizing my trip. If I split the pill, take 50 MG for round one in early afternoon and 50 MG later that night, I should double the benefit, no? I am not worried about double dosing, since I would normally take 100 MG. Any thoughts?

Full 100 MG may be needed for older folks but is probably too strong for young guys. If you have strong side effects, you are probably overdosing and don't need the whole 100 MG.
I bought 100 MG generic Viagra in the net, chop them up into 8 pieces, about 12 MG each. If I want to make sure of a quick erection for the 2nd or 3rd round, I would chew on the 12 MG sliver 15 to 20 minutes before and it works every time. In fact after sessions, I continue to have erections throughout the night. Every time I woke up, my dick is in erect position hehe.
Not everyone is the same physically, but experiment with the lower doses first to see what you need. Don't abuse your body as it may cause long- term harms.

Don't abuse your body as it may cause long- term harms.I did read where a higher dosage doesn't produce anything better than the lowest necessary dosage. I'm early 40's and my problem is very minor and infrequent. I hate to admit it but it is as much of a confidence boost as it is physical. As I said, I want to maximize this trip. Thanks for the advice. I will be trying that method!
