Acapulco has action if you are willing to look for it.
My plan tonight was to sit in hotel. But by 9 pm I always end up out since I can here revolution street music. Everyplace was crowded. I tried to walk around alot check out bars I haven't been to or been to lately. So much walking I thought the cops were gona stop me on revolution. I saw 2 policia woman today that were a 9 or 10. Nobody in street was starring though. In San Diego people would of been staring at her. In cov9 d times I would go to club rubix for a Margherita. But the place is too crowded these days. The other 80's bar on 6th street was empty. I checked rock bar near arch twice no seats at the bar. Went to a club premierv north of the arch. I walk in and its a gay club. That is always shocking when you walk in not knowing. . I had a beer anyway, then was Hong Kong. Hk very crowded. I could sat there 4 hrs no girls were gona approach me. I lasted 25 minutes. Then I realized I'm getting super aggregated from both smokers and men touching me as they walk in hk. I need beers fast. I went to Carrera club in alley. 2 beers 4 bucks 17 minutes. Walked into cumin bar on Rev near arch. Too much smoke. The bars between arch and the next street that you walk downhill and north to hk, I checked them out. Both were basementy and full of Mexicans with novas etc not monger bars or gringo bars. Korea bar wS dead. Adelutas bar was actually crowded again. I thought it was dying. I avoided buying drinks in most of these places. I couldn't find the adelitas girl from Tuesday I liked. As for street girls, I feel like I see better options when I'm taking the bus back to border at 7, 8. 9. 10, am and it goes down that street. I think in Tijuana right now, Thursday, Friday, Saturday you really got to have the females lined up to meet you and not just be showing up especially if you need GFE. Just too many dudes around.

Just too many dudes around.A lot of the chicas I know are out with their family. It's some sort of tradition to be with family during the holidays celebration that runs from Christmas to after the new year, and not just on Christmas Day and on New Year's Day. It's the entire week. And I don't mean just eating dinner with family at night. I mean it's an all day event, for 6-7 days straight. This is what it means when they say that Mexicans are really close with their family.
If you guys had to pick between Cabo, Acapulco, or puerto Vallarta for your next mongering trip which one would you choose. Need a break from Tijuana.I found Puerto Vallarta not easy to find a decent bar for mongering and from what I read on the forum it is quite expensive for ST with girls for those who have done it. Need some bro advice in PV for sure. Was there over Thanksgiving a couple years ago and absolutely loved the town, but as a tourist and not for mongering.
Anyone know any good tips there please share.
-G.
I'll be heading down to the zona later on around 7 or 8 pm if anybody else is down there.
Anyone know any good tips there please share.I did a thorough trip report in the PV section on 5/10/22, #2434.

This is more an ISG general question however so many posters in this thread going to ask here if any way to turn off some or all of the ads? I don't mind most of them and understand that they have to pay the bills however one is really bothering me of the striper that keeps shaking her ass over and over non stop.
Thanks.
any way to turn off some or all of the ads?IIRC, paying members have that option. I used to be able to turn off all (most?) of the ads when I was a paying member.
(I quit paying when they moved to bitcoin. I don't even know how to spell bitcoin.).
Tijuana is horrible in December. Avoid unless you live in San Diego.
I'm gona write this, more for my disappointment in this girl. And others need to be careful. 25 yrs ago a lap dancer at high end nyc club took my wallet. Mysteriously it shows up later empty. So I'm not new. But I've been around many girls in Tijuana only one stole my Droid phone and tried to sell it back to me, in playboy bar. This girl now, from a bar smaller than hk, I paid for sex maybe twice in one year, maybe a bunch drinks 4 times with no sex, and six once that I didn't pay. At times she'd ask for $$ when I'm not even in Mexico. Tonight she wanted someone to drink with. She wasn't working. The conversation turned to her needing money. I don't enjoy paying ID rather go home. She saw I only had minimal money in my wallet. Then she begs for sex. I'm self aware enough at this point that can get ugly. Is she gona call policia on me? Take my phone? I had under 50 on me. I told her no. She proceeds to grind on me in a bar. I catch her going for my wallet. At this point, I was gona give her 20 for taxi anyway so not super worried. Then after 30 seconds I realize my wallets gone. She got about 26, my wallets on the floor. This, is for a girl I've known a year and a half, whose even slept in my hotel before. At this point, I just left. For 26 bucks, bim not gona be involving the policia. I didn't even want to go out tonight but she begged me was drinking alone. I'm done with Mexico woman.
I was originally planning to take a trip to Tijuana around October, but stuff came up and I wasn't able to until now. I'm planning to head down next week but I still have a lot of questions so I'm hopping people are able to give me some advice. Sorry if its seems like a lot but any info would be appreciated.
Unfortunately, I'm only able to go for the day so I'm planning to go pretty early to maximize my time there. What's the earliest one can book a room somewhere?
Since its my first trip I'm planning to try girls from everywhere and see what I like best for my next trip. I'm going to try some from an agency like musas and also some independent ones from places like Mileroticos. I've never used WhatsApp so I don't know how to approach them. Do I just let them know that I saw their ad on a website or what do I say to break the ice?
Whats the best place to park? I'm mostly likely going to cross on foot so I'm looking for the most convinient place to park. Are there any maps that can help I'm pretty shit with directions. I don't mind the cost too much as long as it isn't ridiculously expensive.
For a single day what's a reasonable amount of money to spend? I'm probably going to exchange around $200 to pesos is that good or should I exchange some more. ?
Ill probably have some follows ups but for now thanks for any info you guys can give.
I'll try to keep this short and sweet. If you want a more detailed report head over to USASG. You guys over on this side don't seem to care much for details LOL. Anyway, got to HK around 8 pm. Ended up sitting down with two chicks on the Chavelas side who had a bucket of beer at their table. Got to make out a lot with both of them for a good while and all that good stuff. Even though they had a bucket of beer the waiters were still hounding me for drinks. WTF? I tried to shoo them away but eventually some guy seemingly in charge came over and said I pretty much had to pay for play. He said $20 for both girls which is what I would be paying if I bought them drinks. I hadn't been in a situation before with girls who already had a bucket of beer but since we were having a good time at the table I just threw him the 20 to leave us alone and continue fooling around. The girls were both given ficha tickets. One of the chicks eventually wanted me to take them upstairs for a threesome but I didn't feel like spending that much for both so just wanted the younger and hornier one, she appeared to be 19. We had some communication problems though so I just ended up walking away after a bit.
Made my rounds of Tropical, Chicago and Adelitas. Each club was pretty busy but didn't find too many girls to my liking. Ended back at HK and found the 19 year old sitting by herself so I sat down with her for drinks and fooled around with her some more. I brought up going arriba again but she was firm at 100. I told her 80 and a 20 tip for good service. She didn't seem to like that so my gut told me to bail. She was pretty tipsy at this point so it probably would have been a sloppy session anyway with me doing most of the work and nudging her to keep her conscious LOL.
Ended up taking an alley chick with huge tits to a room for 700 pesos all in, full service. It was a pretty good session and definitely felt better than I would have spending $130 on the other girl at HK. Did one last round of all the clubs but it was more of the same so decided to finally head back home.

(I quit paying when they moved to bitcoin. I don't even know how to spell bitcoin.).I bought a lifetime back in mid 2000's for $99 I believe. I'll have to check on it. Anyway this afternoon maybe since on a different wifi I don't see that particular ad that follows me no matter how far I scroll down. The static ads that don't follow my as a I scroll down don't bother me. Thanks for the tip.

G-man,
I tried escorts my last trip in Nov. And had zero success and was there for 4 nights. If you know the algorithm that works then that sounds fun but for a short day either pull SGs to Hotel Coahuila, Cascadas or some of the not as nice lower end hotels some SGs only use. Or go with HK, AB, Tropical, Chicano BGs either in short term rates or buy the room for 24 hours. HK hotel Cascadas does not allow check in until the early afternoon but Coahuila might.
I've done day time stays at La Mansion in the past and have found it to serve its purpose.
My concern as I think about it more is having to give your ID upon checkin. Has anyone told them you don't have your ID and do they still let you use a room or perhaps charge extra?
I'the be fine paying more if I didn't have to give my ID. Privacy is of utmost importance.

Was your expirience shitty or did you have no luck booking someone?

I would be leery of giving out my real ID or CC to shady businesses, like fuck motels and escorts services.
If you pay HK or Cascada with CC, they will make copy of your ID in case the charges bounce. I always pay cash to Cascada and they check me in under my call sign, no ID asked. The hotel knows HK girls and only asks their names, not IDs, but they do ask every street girl to show ID and record details in their log.
You can search on line for sites that sell fake IDs. Email them your pic for passport or driver license of any state. La Mansion would not know what's real, what's fake, and would not care.

Privacy is of utmost importance.But it serves it's purpose which is to have four walls and a roof with a bed for me to use as I stick the chica of the day with my verga. I'm referring to Motel Paraiso which doesn't require ID. You pay your 300 or so pesos and they buzz you in. You can literally give them any name you want.

On that note, if anyone has recent experience in purchasing a fake ID that's passable south of the border, let us know.

Personally I do not have any fake ID's but in Thailand held an FBI Badge. Green hologram block logo FBI letters and solid metal badge. VERY convincing. Also a very easy way to get in serious trouble.

I'the be fine paying more if I didn't have to give my ID. Privacy is of utmost importance.I am often in La Mansion but as a passenger. My friend Chica from Tijuana has a junk car and she drives. They never check ID. It seems that when paying for the room, the employee only notes the license plate. When leaving, the employee checks the room if everything is OK and then you can leave. The motel is OK. Clean, shower, AC, large TV etc. And you can order food and drinks. Price if I remember correctly $36 for 4 hours.

Upon leaving and retrieving my ID I would see them shuffling through a stack of IDs to find mine so I know others were also leaving their ID. Perhaps your friend has an in with the staff there or if you drive in your car is considered the ID due to license plate. I don't drive in to Tijuana so not an option tor me.
I also don't care to go through the trouble of getting a fake ID. I'll likely just show up and hope they give me a room sans ID and maybe charge me 10 or 20 dollars extra which I would be fine with. I'll report back.
The love motel called Luxor does not check ID. You can also get a fake ID online fairly easy. Just load up tor browser and go on certain websites. They offer everything you can think of.
Last night was a complete bust all around. HK had half of the Chavelas side closed off again since there weren't too many chicks on duty. You can imagine how all the other clubs were. Noticed a couple girls from Chicago now working at Adelitas. Also ran into an old acquaintance from HK working at Tropical so sat down for a while with her while she gave me lapdances and made out. I made it clear to her I wasn't looking to go arriba to not get her hopes up since I've already had her every which way, but she was cool with it so we just enjoyed our time at our booth. Went to check out the street action a couple times but hardly any girls were out. Circled back to HK, spotted a couple potential prospects but they were busy with fichas the entire time. Our fat buddy commandeered a table in the middle of the club, enjoying being the center of attention "making it rain" while everyone scattered for his money. Went to grab some tacos before heading back to the border and called it a night. I go back to work on Wednesday so maybe I'll pass by tomorrow for a final vacation trip. Since I haven't been taking club girls arriba my last 3 trips I haven't really been spending that much.

You can find places that will make color copies for you that you can size down and laminate. They look totally real. They are obviously but if they get lost or stolen you won't be in a bind since those would be disposable copies. I guess you could alter some of the info in photoshop if you really wanted to.
If anyone asks I say the OG is safe and sound locked up in a secure place.

I can't say check-in times as I've never checked in in the morning. You can always get a love motel that rents for 4 hours (you can't usually leave the premises though), take a break and then go to a real hotel when you can check in.
I've never tried Mileroticos as I'm an infrequent flyer with limited Spanish, but reports about Mileroticos can be hit or miss and while they are cheaper, in theory, you might want to stick to a booker to avoid the risk of flakes / bait-switches, etc. Personally, I'd just work with one booker, give them the times you want and if you book a bunch of times, they'll coordinate things better. They also can recommend a place they like and that might let you check in early. Just be clear on times with the booker- I used Musas ansd scheduled a 5 pm Hook up and a 9 am Next day hook up. After my 5 pm hookup I rested then headed to the bars and when I got back that night I had a bunch of messages from Musas around 9 pm Asking where I was and I was black-listed. I sent him the texts that clearly said time / day and it was for the morning but Musas was being a jerk about it- it was his mistake. Never used him again.
I highly suggest you spend a little time at HK to get your feet wet there and see what's going on there. I usually prefer the bars as it's more fun. I've done long weekends, half the trip at Cascadas (HK's hotel) and half time at a hotel with escorts and I liked both but I think my time at the bars was more fun.

I'm done with Mexico woman.I ask this sincerely. Why do you continue to come to Tijuana? Every trip is boring, you can't find anybody to make the first move, you don't have money, the cops frisk you, you get robbed, and the beat goes on. Man, if things were this bad I'd cut my losses and stay home. It's a lot cheaper to be miserable at home.

Do you just message the girls on what's app and say you saw their ad? Also, do you need any reference for sites like Musashi or MLB.
How do you tell the difference between a love motel and a regular one?

Just a quick comment on my experience with Mexican people.
Recent trip to Guanajuato.
Friend accidentally leaves her phone at a gift store. She wasn't sure where she had left it but we just backtracked and sure enough it's at the gift store and the store clerk gives it back.
I drop my phone in the taxi. See the taxi driver 30 minutes later driving down the road and he has it. Gives it back and I give him a nice reward.
In Azul restaurant 4 years ago. Drop my wallet on the floor near my table as I am leaving. Mexican guy alerts me to it where he could have easily just taken it.
Paid a street hooker (Sophia) a little extra in Azuls after fucking to help me with spanish a bit as we shared some drinks. When I went to pay her she would not take the agreed on price and would only take half of it because she was learning a little english from me at the same time. Unbelievable. Some of these girls have the heart of gold.
Have not had any Mexican hookers asking me for money yet for support. But maybe I just have not gotten to know them well enough yet.

Maybe I'm confused. Why would you need a fake ID for any reason?Love motels request them if you check-in without a car and use it as collateral. And one of the big 3 (HK/Cascadas) requests ID when buying a VIP card and when using it (the 70% discounts on Mon & Tues).
And from 3rd hand sources, so I don't know how true it is, I've heard stories of putas stealing ID/wallets and then blackmailing people into giving them back. So for those reason, I'd prefer to use a burner ID. If it's lost/stolen/damaged, no foul...and no dealing with the DMV to replace it.

Some of these girls have the heart of gold..Mexico seems to look more down upon stealing than say san Diego, where stealing isn't even illegal anymore. I have also had Mexicans point out dropped money. But guys need to spread their money out, as some girls will pick pocket you. The girl who took mybwallet out, took the cash out and threw wallet on the floor while dancing on me on the bar stool, she is a bar girl. The way she did it so smoothly I know she does it to others. Some guys would go postal over that and end upon Mexican prison. I just looked at her in disgust shook my head, pick my wallet and credit cards off the floor, and left. If it was hk or Adelitas I would of told management but she was off duty just drinking in a alley bar that I will never spend another penny on because I think she told the bartender when we went in, as she made me wait outside for 1 minute to check inside the bar. I've since stopped going to bars and just sit in my hotel now in Tijuana at night.
CBP announced Wednesday that PedWest will be opening beginning Jan. 9th. The only difference is that the hours will only be from 6 am till 2 pm. So this won't really help most of you out since I imagine you all go back to the border after 2 pm.
It's interesting that the PedWest opening comes at the same time that Biden said he plans to visit the border next week. I would be shocked if he was to go to Texas since it is having the most trouble and may choose to see how San Ysidro is handling things since the migrants are in the shelters and not sleeping at the border. Still seems like a long shot. I would think he would go to a slower border like Mexicali or maybe one of the Arizona borders. I'm sure Gavin would love to get some nice press time with the old man.
Opening Pedwest will reduce line for those crossing in the mornings. The downside of Pedwest is that the taxi vans rare came by to pick people up. The other problem is that there is very little street parking on the US side by PPedwest. In many ways I prefer Pedeast.

Mexico seems to look more down upon stealing than say san Diego, where stealing isn't even illegal anymore.Do you have legal precedents for this? Because if so, I'd love to start thieving and committing petty thefts if I know it is now legal in San Diego.
It's interesting that the PedWest opening comes at the same time that Biden said he plans to visit the border next week. I would be shocked if he was to go to Texas since it is having the most trouble and may choose to see how San Ysidro is handling things since the migrants are in the shelters and not sleeping at the border. Still seems like a long shot. I would think he would go to a slower border like Mexicali or maybe one of the Arizona borders. I'm sure Gavin would love to get some nice press time with the old man.Your wrong Counselor.
California Petty Theft Penal Code Section 484 Laws and Penalties.

If you are charged with theft, the San Diego Criminal Attorney can argue in your defense. Consequently, this can amount to lesser charges on your conviction hence preserving your reputation.
What Qualifies for Theft under California Law.
The California theft statute penal code 484 defines theft as taking property belonging to someone knowingly and deems it as an act against the law. The offender must have had an aim of either taking the property forever or for some time without the knowledge of the owner. This law doesn't depend on whether the theft was major (felony) or minor (misdemeanor). Prosecutors can charge the defendant based on whether the offender's intention was to deprive the owner of possession of the property.
Theft occurs in many forms depending on the type of property stolen; personal property, money, among other things. Theft takes place without the owner's knowledge or consent. However, there are times that the owner entrusts his / her property to the offender with knowledge that the property would be returned. Failure to return the property is termed as theft in California Law.
How is Theft Classified in California Law?
California law classifies theft as petty or grand depending on the value of property in question. Petty theft occurs when the stolen properties are of minimal value of $950 or less. For instance, if someone shoplifts some commodities in a merchandise store and the value of the total properties amounts to $950 or less, the person would be convicted of petty theft. Most petty thefts are charged as either misdemeanor or felony. A misdemeanor petty theft conviction in California requires that the offender serve up to six months in county jail with a fine that should not be more than one thousand dollars.
The prosecutor may charge someone with grand theft if the value of the properties in question have a high value worth more than $950 under California penal code 487. If the defendant is found guilty of more than one or two offenses or possession of a firearm during the act is also termed as grand theft.
Types of Theft.
Under California penal code 486, theft can be classified as either grand theft or petty theft. This depends on the value of the properties in question.
Grand Theft.
For a grand theft to occur, the offender must have stolen an item more than $950 in value. Professional and personal repercussions always arise when one is convicted of a grand theft. California's grand theft statute (penal code 487) allows that if a person commits one or two minor petty thefts that is when the total value of the items are combined and computed, if the value exceeds 950 dollars, the person could be charged of grand theft. Other forms of grand theft may be, shoplifting items more than $1,000, embezzling your employer's money by more than a $1000, breaking into a building and taking items worth $1000 or more among other valued items is termed as grand theft.
For a prosecutor to charge a defendant for grand theft, he / she must prove the elements of the crime beyond reasonable doubt. The elements depend on the kind of grand theft done. The kinds of theft are;.
Grand theft by larceny.
This kind of grand theft occurs whereby the offender physically carries another person's tangible property without the person's consent and with an aim of depriving the owner of the possession to the property. Taking an item from the owner and keeping the property in your possession for some time, making the owner unable to enjoy it or taking the property and moving it from where it was originally located can also be charged as grand theft in California law. Simple shoplifting of items valued at more than 1,000 dollars is considered as a grand theft by law as well. This can pertain to burglary or auto-burglary.
Grand theft by pretense.
The California penal code 532 defines this kind of grand theft as an intentional and known deceit to someone. If the offender says something that he / she knows isn't true and / or makes a reckless claim that something is true but knowingly is aware that it is false, and intentionally make a pledge that he / she doesn't honor, is termed as grand theft by pretense. You are found guilty if the owner of the item relied on your false statement / pretense to give you the item.
The prosecution should have some evidence so as to charge grand theft by pretense. This includes a written and signed document that shows the false pretense, and a person to act as a witness. This kind of grand theft occurs mainly during business deals which involve handing over properties, then accusing the person at long last. California law provides protection on such possibilities.
Grand theft by embezzlement.
This is a grand theft where the owner entrusted the offender with the property but he / she used it fraudulently for personal gain. For instance, you are given a title deed in a business agreement and instead, you use it to acquire a loan to buy your own car. Even if your intention was to return the title after some time, embezzlement would have occurred because the owner had been deprived from the property and you would have benefited from it.
According to California Law, if one is found guilty, the jury is not entitled to charge the offender of grand theft but rather agrees that the offender unlawfully took someone's property under any of the forms of grand theft. Unanimous agreement on whether the offender committed a grand theft or a petty theft will be done under either penal code 487 or 488 PC under California law.
Petty theft.
Most theft cases in San Diego involves shoplifting. However, under California penal code 488 PC, a theft crime is considered petty theft only if the value of goods stolen does not exceed $950. But for in case the crime involved stealing of livestock, it should not exceed a sum value of $250. Petty theft can be categorized as either: misdemeanor, infraction, or felony. Minor theft charges are generally regarded as misdemeanor charges according to California petty theft statute. However, for first time petty theft with the items stolen below $50, the alleged offender would have committed an infraction. In such cases the penalty is $250.
In petty theft, a person charged with first offense with the value of stolen items over $50, attorneys can argue out a defense which might have the charges dismissed. He / she can participate in diversion programs, community service and attendance of anti-theft classes.
Is Grand Theft Different from Petty Theft in California?
Grand theft is nearly similar to petty theft in California penal law. The difference is in the value of the properties stolen. Items that cost more than $950 are considered to be Grand Theft. However, that is not always the case. Some petty theft or rather minor theft can be rendered as grand theft if a firearm, an automobile, livestock, or an item is taken from the owner's person like clothing.
Similarly, the above convictions are charged in California's penal law regardless of the value of goods stolen. This is so in case of the accused having prior convictions on his / her record. These convictions can be;.
A registered sex crime.
Or other charges that are of impact like murder or rape cases.
Continuous chain of stealing from your employer is also considered grand theft. You are convicted of grand theft when the total amount of the goods or money stolen exceeds $950 for a period of 12 months.
What Charges are related to Theft?
If a theft is committed with excessive use of force causing fear to the owner of the property, it is considered a robbery. Robbery can be classified as first degree or second degree. First degree robbery under California penal code 212.5 (a) occurs when anyone in a building or a structure that is inhabited is robbed or a driver or a passenger in a vehicle is robbed, and / or anyone who uses or has just used an ATM is robbed.
There are situations where petty thefts can be charged as robbery. This is so in case of shoplifting. If security at the store try to stop the offender who in the process of shoplifting pushes the security guard out of self-defense or to get away. This amounts to robbery as well.
Penalties for Theft in California.
Theft in California is penalized under California penal code 489 or 490 PC respectively. Grand theft is charged based on the circumstances under which the offender was present as well as his past criminal history.
Grand theft.
A conviction of grand theft classified as misdemeanor renders the offender for up to a year imprisonment in a county jail. Conviction of grand theft as a felony sends the offender under felony probation and a year or more in jail. This is in the case of no firearm.
Grand theft with firearm is penalized differently according to California law. It is directly classified as felony; a misdemeanor charge is not an option here. In the case of possessing a firearm, one is sentenced for a longer period of time.
If grand theft charges are brought in as felony charges, additional consecutive sentence penalties can be issued if the property was more expensive. Let's say Patrick stole a car of unknown value. The car's value is determined by the receipts presented by the owner and the current market value under a common scheme plan. A sentence of up to a year imprisonment is given in cases where the car was more than $65,000, 2 years if the value was more than $200,000, 3 years if the item was more than $1,300,000 or 4 years if it was more than $3,200,000.
Grand theft by larceny can be considered if for example, Patrick enters an enclosure like a building or a car with the intention of stealing, it will be considered as either burglary or auto burglary-grand theft. A penalty will be issued even if he doesn't succeed in committing the intended crime. Burglary is considered as a felony, committing it causes a sentence of 3 years in county jail. It can amount to 6 years if committed in a house where people reside or a car that was in use.
However, burglary charges can increase after committing the crime if the offender goes ahead and opens a safe with explosives or other kind of tools. In this case, you can be charged and jailed for up to 7 years under California's burglary with explosive law 464 PC.
What happens when an offender has continuously stolen from his employer? You can be charged with multiple grand thefts and receive a sentence for each count. However, if the multiple charges are for a common scheme plan, then only one count will be charged.
Petty theft.
Conviction of petty theft in California can amount to one going to jail for six months and paying a fine costing one thousand dollars. For a property of value below $50, it can be charged as an infraction petty theft. The Prosecutor's discretion can result in a penalty of $250 in the case of a first-time crime. In petty theft, a person charged with first offense with the value of stolen items under $50 can possibly have the charges dismissed. Therefore, he / she might be able to participate in diversion programs, community service, and attendance of anti-theft classes.
However, if the defendant had a prior theft crime in his / her records, the penalty for petty conviction is more intense. If the offender was previously convicted of a major crime, one more theft charge might lead to grand theft.
Opening Pedwest will reduce line for those crossing in the mornings. The downside of Pedwest is that the taxi vans rare came by to pick people up. The other problem is that there is very little street parking on the US side by PPedwest. In many ways I prefer Pedeast.News says it will open from 6 am until 2 pm. Should be open 3 am until 2 pm minimum then back open at 5 pm for the evening rush. Fuck designated hours.

Fuck designated hours.Am thinking the current hours are probably just temporary with plans to expand (perhaps even all the way back to 24/7 as it was before) at some later date.
Do you have legal precedents for this? Because if so, I'd love to start thieving and committing petty thefts if I know it is now legal in San Diego.I live in San Diego half the year. All the time I watch shoplifting. When my rental car was broken into the police recording says that's not really police matter they aren't gona send a car. When I called the police from the beach as another loaer stole their bags the police told me that's not a police matter. You can break into someone's car, and for the police to arest, they need to have proof the doors were locked. You have to live here to know what's going on out here and not hide in an office 60 hrs a week I'm out in the streets all day if not in tijuana.

I used to always park at Border parking lot at the last USA exit.
However, even I realized it was only for 10 hours, then they charged you again, I wanted other options. Then I find this board. And I see the suggestion of parking at the Palm Avenue blue line station for free and take the trolley. This suggestion is beautiful for overnight parking!
It is pretty much just as fast as parking at the border parking lot too.
Thank you board for those who suggested this! It is so worth it and has saved me money, especially on weekends when they basically charge you for two days.

Has anyone tried either of these place recently? Seems like both may be owned by the HK group, but I suspect prices may be lower.
Mexico seems to look more down upon stealing than say san Diego, where stealing isn't even illegal anymore. I have also had Mexicans point out dropped money. But guys need to spread their money out, as some girls will pick pocket you. The girl who took mybwallet out, took the cash out and threw wallet on the floor while dancing on me on the bar stool, she is a bar girl. The way she did it so smoothly I know she does it to others. Some guys would go postal over that and end upon Mexican prison. I just looked at her in disgust shook my head, pick my wallet and credit cards off the floor, and left. If it was hk or Adelitas I would of told management but she was off duty just drinking in a alley bar that I will never spend another penny on because I think she told the bartender when we went in, as she made me wait outside for 1 minute to check inside the bar. I've since stopped going to bars and just sit in my hotel now in Tijuana at night.That is crazy. Or the girl is really smart. Maybe she knows if you still have your cards and wallet. Just the money missing your less likely to do anything!

Prices not lower. Hotel next door to 7 de Copas but no ST rates just long term.Not to quarrel, but confused here. Rizo de Oro is also HK group, and prices seem to be significantly lower than at Cascadas (particularly with the Tropical VIP card). I thought each HK property prices according to market niche.
I was at Ross buying a belt the other day in Mission Valley. This one lady blatantly stole some clothes and went right past the security guard. This one major reason why San Francisco's crime rate is so out of control. Many business are leaving San Francisco because of the rampant shoplifting. Now we are seeing the homeless mugging people. The police now view shoplifting as a nuisance & ignore it.

She was touching me more for free for ten minutes sitting next to me before I spent any money on her. So only the beer is cheaper 3 dollars instead of 4 dollars.

Have always used one of the trolley stations the past several years.
I see the suggestion of parking at the Palm Avenue blue line station for free and take the trolley.I do that any time I'm walking in, but there is one thing to be aware of: Parking at the trolley stations is, in theory, limited to 24 hours. I have never seen this enforced, but I've never tested it, either.
This all works fine for me, because if I'm going for more than 24 hours, I drive in. But I don't recommend that for most people.

Just like how the Pronto ticket cost to take the trolley isn't enforced. I have taken the trolley to San Ysidro four times now (round trip twice) and have not been asked for a ticket. Compared to parking at the border on the USA side, the trolley is simply an unbelievable value, even at $5 round trip. But for free. Incredible. That savings equals out to some good food in Tijuana!
I don't know if I'll ever go for more than 24 hours. But if I did, I'd have to think about what to do. Thankfully I live in San Diego, so just taking the bus to a trolley station is probably the way I'd do it. Otherwise, I might just drive to the Border Parking and suffer the cost. I'd rather not have to though!

The Global Entry card, which acts as Sentri if you are walking over the border to the USA side, is simply a must have. I don't know how many on this forum have the Global Entry card, but it is so incredible.
I suppose, if you are coming back at 2 am, which I have sometimes done, it really doesn't matter, as you will glide through the USA border security. But I have stayed overnight just twice in Tijuana and both times I've come back on a Sunday morning. The pedestrian line in the regular line to USA is immense and it doesn't move. With the Global Entry card, I sail right by all of these people in the Sentri lane. I feel like these people are probably going to have to wait at least an hour. And maybe more. But for me, it has taken about 3-5 minutes. And then about another 10-15 to the Palm Avenue blue line station. It is worth every cent to save that much time to me.
I glided through border security on my way back to San Diego today and felt the need to glow about Global Entry because it is just amazing.

I've tested it several times for 2-3 days with no issues. So 2-3 days I probably wouldn't worry about it. Honestly, I don't think they even care - the rule I think is only in place to prevent people from taking complete advantage of it by having their cars parked there several days (ie a week or more) at a time as the lots weren't intended for that. If leaving your car there for that long they probably would ticket or tow.

But I don't recommend that for most people.You're right, most of the time they don't check the trolley fares either (see as evidence all of the crazies on the trolley most of whom don't pay) but the trolley fare isn't something I'd recommend skimping on.
Just not worth it IMO.

Just not worth it IMO.I'm not really sure what isn't worth it. Just have the Pronto app on your phone and put some money on it when needed, but don't actually buy a ticket. When (or, more likely, if) confronted for a ticket by a transit officer, just plead ignorance and buy a ticket. I don't see any downside on skimping on the trolley ticket. I highly doubt anything negative would ever happen as long as you buy the ticket when asked for proof of purchase by a transit officer.
That said, I've done two round trips (not many, admittedly) on Saturday and then returning Sunday morning, and did not get asked for a ticket either time.
While I think it is wise to simply buy the ticket to support the trolley, I'm not sure MTS can do much to ensure fares are being purchased.
Bummer. The closest parking lot directly across from Jack in the Box increased their Friday prices to $25 from $15. What a rip off. I could see a $5 increase but really. $10. Kinda pissed me off. It was always $25 on Saturday's. Will have to check out the big lot north of Jack in the box to see what it's at these days.

Just not worth it IMO.I got caught without trolley ticket 2 days ago. My monthly had expired and I hadn't used the trolley for few days, then it pulled up to stop before I had time to buy a day ticket. I was going 3 stops so. But of course they got me. The deal at this moment in time, was if you have $$ you get off next stop and buy one. If you don't have $$ you get a ticket. I've probably only skipped buying a ticket 3 times in 300 trips.

But I feel like there's a bit of racism regarding global entry. I grew up and lived 40 years in safe, everyone follows the law, everyone loves the police town. So I qualified. But what about everyone else? Most of this country is not the neighborhood I grew up in. People of color must have a much tougher time getting global entry. I doubt I would have it if I grew up in LOS angleles or San diego. And. The folks in mexixo can get sentri. If their not criminals. Who the hells a criminal in mexixo? Steal someone's cell phone in usa, have a fight in a bar, you can't get global entries. But they give swntri to Mexicans. ? I don't know what kind of crime would even get a mexixan with prison because it sure ain't murder. 99% of them get away with that crime.

This all works fine for me, because if I'm going for more than 24 hours, I drive in. But I don't recommend that for most people.I recently tested any limit on trolley parking. 5 days with no issue. The only sign I noticed regarding parking was a sign saying parking in a handicap spot with no permit will result in being ticketed and towed. The way I see it is free free free, even with the trolley fare $1. 25 each way for a senior I'm saving that in gas by not driving from palm ave to the border and back.
The do enforce trolley fares (sort of).
I've ridden the trolley about a dozen times in the last year and on three occasions, there were officers checking fares.
And the only time they caught anyone, they just told the offender to "get off the trolley at the next stop.
P. S: Please don't confuse "get off the trolley" with "get the trolley off". The former is a much simpler procedure.

You can park at the border behind Carolin Shoes for $10 every 24 hours. Cheaper than other lots and don't have to take the trolley.
Each trolley parking lot has cameras mounted on street lamps. I think someone is watching parked cars.Good point. OTOH, nowadays, most cameras are recording, and nobody is watching.
So unless your car is somehow implicated in a serious criminal matter, I seriously doubt if anyone ever watches.
But, as I've said before, this is an issue I've never tested. (And I have no intention.).

Got my pass in Rosarito for $35. Anyone know where to get one in Tijuana?
I know a couple ways to get past the Mexican side of the line now. Each I need to pay for each crossing. Does Mexico have any perm passes? This 18 month wait for the USA side of things has me calling my Congresswoman this next week.

CBP announced Wednesday that PedWest will be opening beginning Jan. 9th. The only difference is that the hours will only be from 6 am till 2 pm. So this won't really help most of you out since I imagine you all go back to the border after 2 pm.Is this actually happening? I tend to stay overnight and leave after brunch and a couple of quick beers in Chicago, which then lets me use their zona shuttle (which isn't really needed to PedWest), so through by 2 pm is viable if it's less than an hours wait time.
I see people getting tickets. It is not worth taking the chance of getting a ticket. I have been parking downtown & catching the trolley. Makes a lot of sense when considering, gas & traffic.

For some reason the pedestrian lines have been long on Saturday evenings. Crossed back over around 7:30 on Saturday & had to wait just over a hour. Last Saturday crossed back around the same time and had to wait for close to 2 hours.

As I write this it's 7:30 am on January 9th and the border wait site I use still shows PedWest as pending. It has PedEast pedestrian line at only 5 minute wait. If you have Facebook you can look at "Como estas la línea hoy" page that is dedicated to live updates of people in line at the border and how long it is. I'm sure if PedWest is open they are talking about it.

You might have some questionable things in your past that is making it more difficult for them to approve you.
Your wrong Counselor.I imagine that this was to be directed to Dogers, now he does exaggerate on things but many thefts are going by with law enforcement not doing anything to look for them. Just because a law is on the books it doesn't mean anything if the criminals are not going to be prosecuted. So law enforcement knows this and thus has given up on many thefts since it's basically a waste of their time.
Has anyone tried either of these place recently? Seems like both may be owned by the HK group, but I suspect prices may be lower.All the girls know what the price is and just because they are at a smaller bar they aren't going for much cheaper. Even in HK you have a 5 asking for what a 8 gets. They figure they are doing the same thing and should be paid the same.
The other thing is that it's been years since I went to those bars but I imagine the girls are happy just with fichas and not wanting to go with a few guys everyday.
BTW, last week they had another shooting at La Cueva, now the report was vague and it wasn't in the bar just in the parking lot but for some of you that might be close enough to not want to risk visiting that bar anytime soon.
From past discussions on the GE it will allow you to use the Sentri but I'm not sure the process would be any faster. Have you been trying to contact anyone for an idea on why so long? I seem to remember others posting here recently that it o my took a matter of weeks and this was during COVID. You might have some questionable things in your past that is making it more difficult for them to approve you.Never apply for sentri if you qualify for global entry. Its the same thing for the Mexican border. Global entry took me 3 weeks, start to catdcin my hand, in middle of covid. You need to stay on top of it, read how to get next day appointment, don't pay any service, then jump in the car and drive to that city for that appointment. For me it was driving to LOS Angeles from san Diego. Putting the car on it takes a little longer I just needed the pass to walk across the border.

Yep. There is $10 for 24 HR parking behind the shoes store.
Last week I was waiting there for the bros to cross in pedestrian lane, a guy ran out from the lot, screaming at the attendants. He said his car had been broken into and he could not restart engine. Cars parked along the rail track are broken into frequently. Any parking near the border carries higher risks.
Palm Ave trolley station seems pretty safe. Find a spot near the platform where cameras are looking, would be safer.

I do that any time I'm walking in, but there is one thing to be aware of: Parking at the trolley stations is, in theory, limited to 24 hours. I have never seen this enforced, but I've never tested it, either.
This all works fine for me, because if I'm going for more than 24 hours, I drive in. But I don't recommend that for most people.I've tested it several times for 2-3 days with no issues. So 2-3 days I probably wouldn't worry about it. Honestly, I don't think they even care. The rule I think is only in place to prevent people from taking complete advantage of it by having their cars parked there several days (ie a week or more) at a time as the lots weren't intended for that. If leaving your car there for that long they probably would ticket or tow.

I'm not really sure what isn't worth it. Just have the Pronto app on your phone and put some money on it when needed, but don't actually buy a ticket. When (or, more likely, if) confronted for a ticket by a transit officer, just plead ignorance and buy a ticket. I don't see any downside on skimping on the trolley ticket. I highly doubt anything negative would ever happen as long as you buy the ticket when asked for proof of purchase by a transit officer.
That said, I've done two round trips (not many, admittedly) on Saturday and then returning Sunday morning, and did not get asked for a ticket either time.
While I think it is wise to simply buy the ticket to support the trolley, I'm not sure MTS can do much to ensure fares are being purchased.To each his own, I guess. I personally like to minimize my interaction with law enforcement LOL. I'm personally not interested in playing games with MTS enforcement over a $5 round trip fare but if you are comfortable with that then more power to you. Agree that it's highly likely you can avoid paying fares by doing as you suggest but at the same time you never know if / when MTS decides one day to more strictly enforce ticket purchases (and they may end up having no choice but to do that in the future when they realize a lot of people aren't actually paying). You also never know when you might run into a prick officer who decides to write up a ticket for you anyway, if for example he's having a bad day.
My thought on it is, in a world of ever-increasing inflation and jacked up pricing, free parking and a $5 round-trip trolley fare is an excellent deal so don't see the reason to skimp on it. $5 is miniscule when we're in Tijuana spending hundreds on these chicas anyway. But again, to each his own.

No power to me really as it seems pretty failsafe. One click and you've bought the ticket. Seems awfully painless, quick and easy. There are a lot of more significant things to me to worry about. But again, I guess that's me.
I also am skeptical about all of these people supposedly not paying. Unless I see reputable statistics showing that, I'll figure it is just a myth and nothing to take seriously outside of individual anecdotes and opinions which don't mean a whole lot to me.

I am talking about the Sentri pass.. Maybe I should apply for Global Entry. Will it allow me to drive in the Sentri lane?I admit, I don't know since I don't drive into Mexico. I'm only talking about using Global Entry as a Sentri pass for walking over the border to USA. I hope you can get your pass soon.
Sometimes I go to Tijuana at the last minute use the trolley, , start drinking and get back to car at midnight, and can't drive yet. I either sleep two hours, and then drive or sleep 6 hrs but. I don't recommend it. If someone's breaking I to cars or stealing them, or taking the cat converters and sees you it could be dangerous. At dawn the police show up, and look at registrations. I heard them talking a;out the car next to mine while I was sleeping. I beleive they saw me sleeping I forget. I could have gotten a ticket for sleeping. But these lots are a dead zone by 1 am till 6 am. Its a long 5 hours of nobody in them. I did see undercover cops at 8th st station once watching cars when I slept in that station the 1 time. But basically I wouldn't park in these spots unless your car is empty of belongings. My car looks so bad, it fits in oerfectly in San Diego and Chula Vista even would look perfect for Tijuana. I would not try and use my car in Florida or NYC suburbs the police would be staring at it and start following me. They don't like poor looking beaters in nicer places.

Still any theft is against the law so you always take that chance when a person steals. I believe in karma and I think if I do evil yo others evil things will also happen to me, but that's my opinion. I was raised not to steal things from people and to also return things you borrow in the same or better condition.
Out of curiosity, any reputable data to support this claim?I live in Mira Mesa, which is a very low-crime district in the city of San Diego, and there's a horrific amount of chatter on NextDoor.com, along the lines of, "somebody stole my catalytic converter" or "some random wierdo tried to walk into my house." And the post usually ends with, "and I called the police, and they didn't do squat!
Of course, this stuff is all anecdotal. If you want really reliable data, you might want to try CrimeMapping.com. That's how I found my low-crime home in Mira Mesa.

I been waiting for 18 months now for my approval. I hear the pass use to take about 6 weeks before all the COVID stuff happened.

Law enforcement wants the smallest fish to fry, particularly when they have a car to give a ticket to. Do you think law enforcement wants to pull up to the trolley station and witness a gang beating. Or. Pull up and give some tickets to cars? They don't want to see or get involved with any crime. They want safe, no hassle. And I do see tickets on cars and I've seen many cars towed away from the trolley station. I guess the Importent question is, How much exactly is the ticket? Its possible its under 50 bucks. My only ticket in sd was $55. If its $55 and under, you probably won't get towed if its just 3 nights. You probably wouldn't get the ticket till day 3 or 4 anyway. So you can just do it and factor in the ticket at 17 dollars a day cost to park on the car in weekends that's pretty good.

It's just not practical for MTS to sit there monitoring which cars have been there for more than 24 hours and which haven't and honestly, it's poor customer service to dole out tickets to cars that have been there a little over the 24 hour limit. All that does is discourage people from using the lots (thus putting more cars on the street and increasing traffic congestion) and I think MTS realizes that. There's a reason why those lots are free. The city of San Diego wants as many people as possible to use them. MTS also recognizes that there are cases where a car parked in the same area actually wasn't there for 24 hours straight. It might just be a driver who commutes to work via trolley and likes to park in the same or similar spot in the trolley lot every day (I'm sure there are numerous numerous examples of this).
I've personally never seen any tickets or cars towed but my guess is the vast majority of those cases are the cars that have been there an inordinate amount of time (e. G. , a week or more) where the MTS staff patrolling the lot couldn't help but notice that the car had been there all week so in that case had to do something. But highly doubt they do anything or even care about cars that've been there for like 2-3 days, at least in my experience.

You provided no facts when questioned but expected me to do all of the work for you instead of you actually providing the requested facts. Pretty easy to conclude that you have no real idea. No shame in admitting it, but I understand if you're trying to deny that. No shame in admitting that, just disappointing that's the way you'd go about it. In any case, I would like to visit Egypt.

Considering other areas of my life I do not think there will be a problem with my past but who knows. If there is a problem will I be in a forever approval status or will they just deny me?

If you do have any convictions for anything be sure to tell them. You can get approved with minor issues. I had a drunk driving well before my application date and I did get approved. But do not lie. If they find an unreported conviction you will be immediately denied.
The bad part about Glibal Entry is getting the interview scheduled and completed. There are very few places where they conduct the interviews and scheduling is a challenge. If you are renewing you can use the interview on arrival when you arrive at an airport from an international flight. I don't believe that is available for first time applicants.

I assume they have signs about the time limit in the lots, though could be difficult to find depending on the lot. I nearly always park at the Palomar St. Trolley station (1 stop north of Palm Ave.) as I've gotten comfortable parking there. Have not once had any issues.

After parking there for 5 days with no issue I'm pretty sure the only thing they care about is a car being abandoned there. So if your car starts to get filthy and spider webs on the tires and it gets that I haven't been moved in over a month look you probably need to worry.
Out of curiosity, any reputable data to support this claim?Well if the police do not make reports on these cases because they know nothing will come of it your not going to have data to back it up. I am able to watch the news and hear from people on what experiences they have had. I know Ocean Beach businesses had complained about many break ins and the lack of law enforcement to do anything. Or all the problems in Oakland and San Francisco with cars being broken into or businesses closing due to theft. Some of these DAs claim that crime is actually down but if the crimes don't get reported it's easy to make these statements. There's many ways to twist the data to make it favorable for the results you want.
The Police are over worked in the US and most petty thefts will never be investigated or prosecuted. Still any theft is against the law so you always take that chance when a person steals. I believe in karma and I think if I do evil yo others evil things will also happen to me, but that's my opinion. I was raised not to steal things from people and to also return things you borrow in the same or better condition.Unfortunately I imagine many of these small thefts are homeless people looking to make a quick buck to buy drugs. Even if caught what's the worst that will happen? Maybe spend a day in jail, and now with the bail policies being changed they will probably just be released. You also see more groups using minors to commit these crimes because they will not be prosecuted.
If only everyone had the same beliefs as you we'd be a better society but as this nation becomes more secular and people's minds are controlled by drugs things will only get worse.

I knew a guy thatmi used to hang out with sometimes in the Zona, he had to live in Tijuana for awhile and wanted to get the Sentri but he had a minor drug offense in his past which automatically disqualified him.
I think they would have to notify you at some point what the final decision is and not just be in approval status for eternity. 18 months seems odd and I would try to talk to someone on the phone or even better in person if possible. Best of luck.

Going forward, I'll go elsewhere for serious political and crime talk where people know what they're talking about and I'll try to stick to hot Tijuana women talk here since people know that on this board. If we ever meet in Tijuana, I'd love to buy you a taco and talk.
In the states, the police are steered to the most serious crimes first. So manpower is directed to murders, armed robberies, bank robberies. Petty theft is at the bottom of the list. It runs parallel with the prosecutor's office. Here, no one is going to be fucking promoted for enforcing jaywalking laws.
In Mexico, the police top brass tend to be bought or murdered. So manpower is steered away from drug traffickers and murders, especially when judges are already bought off. With little to do, the police tend to enforce laws that increases receiving cash tips from tourists. There, no one is going to be fucking promoted while buried 6 feet under.
For all the talk about civil vs common laws, the real laws are about the same everywhere. Criminal law has largely been codified here and in Mexico, and it looks very similar. The real difference between Law and Order in the states versus Mexico is about directing resources (manpower).
What a riot. It was a bit funny to see where my red dots were in relation to where I have traveled around San Diego (and the world).
Gee. Look at the dots all around Zona Norte. LOL.

Your story reminds me of a person I knew that had illegally crossed one night with some friends after a night of drinking.

It's very convenient and much cheaper to just park in the Zona or at a place close to the border and take a taxi.

I'm pretty sure parking for free and a free trolley ride cannot be beat by any price. Doesn't seem like any alternative is cheaper than that.

Suburbs in LA and Orange County used to be mice, green, clean, quiet, safe, healthy, happy places for families.
But in the past 5-7 years, property crimes have ramped up, like cars and homes broken into, things stolen ect, most are not reported in neighborhood sites. While my relatives were at work, burglars moved a truck into the garage, disabled video and security equipment, stole all valuables, including security equipment, jewelries, clothes, had enough time to spread out food for lunch, left all kinds of finger prints. Others had their cars broken into again and again. A pair of criminals smashed windows of a dozen cars in the neighborhood late at night, pried out electronics. Don't know why nobody heard nose or car alarms. A couple county sheriff deputies were convicted of stealing CCs, guns and other valuables from the homes of crime victims when they investigated.
People are just too upset or too lazy to post those kinds of news. For more complete crime data, do online search of local police departments records, may be even the FBI records, and compare them to similar sized cities and look for stats and trends.
Meth addiction is driving lots of people of all ages and backgrounds to steal for their fixes. After a while they would sell off all assets, leave all relationships and move in with the homeless crowd for easy drugs access and the companies of their drug addict friends. I personally have a few relatives and ex friends who for years refuse to leave the homeless lifestyle and move to any homes or shelters available to them.
AMLO just declared Mexico has the moral obligation to take care of migrants. Let's ship him a couple hundred thousands homeless addicts from the US to Sinaloa and Jalisco to help them live near the sources of drugs. Just dangle a couple kilos of Meth in front of them and let them walk south across the border to their promised land of cheap, abundant drugs. They would be so thrilled to live near their drugs suppliers and addict friends. When they start cheating or stealing from the cartels, they will get their torture sessions and free burials in the desert.
No no, I only cast doubt on your opinion since you were unable to provide any facts upon request. But that's what I get when asking for facts Actually, if you read back through the thread, you'll see that I never offered any opinion about anything.
Sol12 did offer one, "So law enforcement knows this and thus has given up on many thefts since it's basically a waste of their time. ".
And you asked him, "Out of curiosity, any reputable data to support this claim?
So I showed you where you could get some relevant data.
And your reply was, "I won't do your work for you in proving your claims. ".
As I had not made any claims, and you had asked for info, your response was more than a bit absurd.
You asked for data. I found you some. And you cared too little to actually look at it. Period.

Had nothing to do so took trolley to Tijuana, Friday evening. Sat its gona be raining. The dirt sidewalk now has a 4 feet ditch the whole length of the sidewalk. I didn't trust I wouldn't fall into it I ran across street for the new sidewalk. Interestingly, I found out, the bartender at the bar where I got robbed 2 weeks ago. I had feeling he knew inwas gona get robbed by this girl. Because when she took me to this bar she went and talked to him before letting me in. 20 minutes later she's grabbing my wallet from pants. Today I see him in street from 50 feet away he turns his head when he looks at me looking at the wall as if I don't know him. I've bee. Buying beer from him for 5 years. When this girl 1st was calling me to drink she was at other bars and I heard someone telling her what to say. I should trusted my instinct. I kinda knew I was gona get robbed. Anyway, hk had a lot pretty girls at around I'm, the they seemed to vanish I guess too ma why guys showed up so they weren't standing out I had a beer st hk, tropical, and small chica bar. Nobody wanted to hang with. Me. I actually spent 3 bucks tonight on the woman. I need to go only in the daytime for now on.

I wasn't sure where to post this report, as it has elements of escorts, the bars and general info. I usually arrive to Tijuana during the day or early evening, but this time I arrived close to 1 am. Note to self: exchange dollars for pesos in Tijuana late at night. We all know you get a better rate in San Ysidro, but not late at night. The rate was 18.38 in San Ysidro as opposed to 18.6 something in Tijuana. I banged out the escort I found on Mileroticos in the photo below. She was 1300, but I had to put her in doggy due to her face. Great ass and tight pussy though. After I busted a fat nut, it was time to hit the Zona. Plenty of people at 3 am. Tropical had a good selection of all shapes and sizes, but the scene at Adelitas was lacking. Having said that, the hottest chica I saw all night was a dime piece with an Asian guy who was probably in his 50's. They were having a ball so no opportunity to swoop in.

For people that grew up in San Diego or LOS Angeles, what the hell happened to these cities in the last 40 years that cars and houses are constantly being broken into. People are so brazen to just pull up a truck in the driveway and clean up. Doesn't anyone get shot breaking into houses. Do homeowners in California not have guns.
If we allowed big pharma to make cocaine heroin and make pot legal at the federal level, would the drug cartels collapse and be a fraction of what they are today. What do you think would happen on the Mexico side.

Then they sack the house for guns because it is so easy to move them.

CBP put out the info last week stating it, so unless something has changed without them telling anyone it's suppose to open at 6 am On January 9th. As I write this it's 7:30 am on January 9th and the border wait site I use still shows PedWest as pending. It has PedEast pedestrian line at only 5 minute wait.According to the guy at PedEast (I took the Crazy Train down this time) PedWest is indeed open for weekdays 6-14 h, and not this Monday that's a Federal Holiday.

Orthogonal to our main discussion, but does anyone have an opinion as to the best places to get cigs in Tijuana? Bought a carton at Oxxo on the way out last time, worked out about $35 for Marlboros.

Looking into doing monthly stays at a nice hotel at some point. Tax for something like the Grand Hotel was like $425 US. I don't think the Ticuan quoted me any tax on top of the daily rates. Could this be correct? Do some hotels not charge a hotel tax to foreign visitors?
Anyone with experience? Knock the tax off the price and it might work but an extra $425 on top of it is brutal.
Thanks.

Thanks.Since the tax is included in the price of things in Mexico I wonder if Ticuans price includes the tax and maybe if you went online it's different. Or they add the tax when you pay your bill. I would double check to make sure what the exact final price is.

People are so brazen to just pull up a truck in the driveway and clean up. Doesn't anyone get shot breaking into houses. Do homeowners in California not have guns.Well I've only heard of the problem getting worse over the last few years and it corresponding to the amount if homeless people. This pertains to the cars, I don't hear so many reports about homes but with people putting so much personal information on Facebook it's easy to figure out who's not going to be in town for some time. You could also question if people that stay at an Airbnb could later go back to rob the place knowing that nobody actually lives there and the neighbors are use to seeing different people come and go.
If we allowed big pharma to make cocaine heroin and make pot legal at the federal level, would the drug cartels collapse and be a fraction of what they are today. What do you think would happen on the Mexico side.That's the big question on the legalization of it. Will it help or make it worse. If it's very expensive the Cartels I'm sure will still just produce it to sell to those that can't pay for the legal stuff. I mean marijuana is legal in California but with the high taxes on it many people still buy it on the street. So California tried lowering taxes to get more business.
According to the guy at PedEast (I took the Crazy Train down this time) PedWest is indeed open for weekdays 6-14 h, and not this Monday that's a Federal Holiday.Yeah the Tijuana papers had been talking about it most of the week, I guess the first hours it was opened on Monday only about20 people went thru so I guess the word didn't get out to well.
I think that agent is confused and gave you bad info. The border doesn't close for holidays and if it was to be closed they would notify the public. Also PedWest is one of the points for those seeking asylum to come to with that new border app.

Thanks.I pay by the day and don't pay tax. Maybe its included. I find prices in person cheaper than travel websites. Are they giving you a discount? If not I would definitely not rent anything by the month. Your better off getting hk vip card, doing that once or twice week on Mondays Tuesday, spend 120 night at Marriot once or twice, stay in Playas de Tijuana on days you don't need Hong Kong, hotel Baja, and Ceasars, plus theres few newer hotels off revolution a few feet I've never stayed.

Mexico has brought into force one of the world's strictest anti-tobacco laws by enacting a total ban on smoking in public places.
The step, which was first approved in 2021, also includes a ban on tobacco advertising.
Several other Latin American countries have also passed legislation to create smoke-free public spaces.
However, Mexico's legislation is considered to be the most robust and wide-ranging in the Americas.
It amounts to one of the most stringent anti-smoking laws in the world. Mexico's existing 2008 law. Which created smoke-free spaces in bars, restaurants and workplaces. Is now extended to an outright ban in all public spaces. That includes parks, beaches, hotels, offices and restaurants.
There will also be a total ban on the advertising, promotion and sponsorship of tobacco products, meaning that cigarettes cannot even be on show inside shops.
Vapes and e-cigarettes are also subject to tighter new restrictions, particularly indoors.
The Pan American Health Organisation has welcomed the step and applauded the Mexican government for implementing the ban.
The organisation says that tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of death in the world, responsible for nearly a million deaths in the Americas each year, either through direct consumption or exposure to second-hand smoke.
However, some smokers are dismayed at the draconian nature of the new law.
In essence, it means that many will only be allowed to smoke in their homes or other private residences.
Others have raised questions about the practicalities of enforcing the law.
With police corruption so rampant in Mexico, many fear that rather than issuing real fines or punishments for smoking in public, some officers will use it as a pretext for taking bribes. - (So it looks like you can't smoke cigarettes in Hong Kong and Adelitas from today.)

I remember smoking on airplanes. I used to visit my dad in the smoking section. I am still alive at 53. Let people live and let live. People older than me are still alive since those days. Fuck Political Correctness.
I am still alive at 53. Let people live and let live. People older than me are still alive since those days. Fuck Political Correctness.Second hand smoke has been medically proven to kill people. Before "Political Correctness", the death toll in the USA was around 30,000 annually. That's roughly equal to the murder rate.
To add a little something to this, my good friend was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer last year. He got it from smokers in the casinos he frequents, he was 77 at the time, hadn't smoked himself since he was 17-18. Luckily they found a medication that worked on that particular type lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer. In 6 weeks he went from 85% saturation of tissue to 15% saturation of tissue, and in 3 months it was down to less than 5%. He has to maintain that medicine the rest of his life, it costs about $100 a day with his insurance, fortunately he owns a restaurant so he has the income to cover it. So don't let anyone tell you that you can't get lung cancer from other peoples smoking. It happens far too often according to the doctors I took him to. He just was one of the lucky ones in that they had a special medication that worked on his form of lung cancer.

A local hospital had about 30 terminal cancer patients 80% are old women who lived in patched huts behind pagodas and work for the monks. They were dying mostly with lungs and colon cancer.
Suspected causes were incense smoke and vegetarian foods treated with chemicals to give them textures like meats and fish.
Yeah, political correctness also allows you to fart freely in a crowded elevator.I did that with a beautiful model in an elevator once and blamed it on my friend. It was brilliant.
I've been watching a lot utubers back in Thailand again. These were lost souls for couple years not being able to be in Thailand. Anyway from one video I read, the cost of the woman, especially if you keep her over night was 20% what it would cost in Tijuana. That was with bar fines unless I didn't understand the money conversion correctly. So is this correct? Can others confirm? I'm watching these Pattaya videos and can see how guys may never be back in Tijuana. Only problem is the flight is like $1,500 round trip. From west coast. More on east coast. You kinda have to stay 30 days to get your moneys worth. If I had a house ID defiantly rent it out 4 months every winter and take off to Vietnam and thisland.

When I frequent Tijuana I usually stay in the usual suspects. Ticuan, ibis, pueblo, grand.
But I want to do some under the radar trips. In other words no credit card. Just cash.
Anyone know nice hotels (meaning not cascadas!) where one can do this?

I tend to use grand and Pueblo and ibis more because the layouts make them easier to just walk right to elevators. Whereas ticuan elevators are right next to front desk.
But my question is more if anyone knows hotels where I can do only cash. The problem with grand, for example, is they run your credit card as a security fee for incidentals. I am looking for a nice hotel, 3 or 4 star, where I can have only cash transaction.

Anyone know nice hotels (meaning not cascadas!) where one can do this?As far as I know, the entirety of Mexico is still a cash society (with maybe only the best hotels in resort locations being an exception to this rule)? Wouldn't all the hotels you mention accept cash without requiring a credit card for the reservation? I've only stayed in Zona Norte so certainly wouldn't know for sure, but that's what would make the most sense to me.

Anyone know nice hotels (meaning not cascadas!) where one can do this?I agree with what others have said and can't think of a hotel that wouldn't take cash. I know I've paid cash staying at Pueblo Amigo in the past. Now the hotel will still probably want a CC just in case you destroyed the room but if you pay cash they will never charge anything to it so you won't have a paper trail. Even when I've rented a car in Mexico you would have to give them a CC and they usually charge a security deposit but as long as the car is ok when you return it they refund that to you and it doesn't even show up on you statement.

Hey all,

I hope it's true, because the lines to return to the you. S from Mexico can get quite long. But the interview took place in Atlanta, so I'd like to corroborate this.

It couldn't have been easier.
When I went to Tijuana the other day I noticed that the city has gotten rid of the homeless camps by the Goodwill. The homeless were also camping out by the freeway as well. They were causing lots of problems. They were breaking into peoples cars.

I have no doubt many of us have walked past each other in the lobby, on the floors and getting on and off the elevators. I see escorts all the time entering and exiting the lobby. I have rapport with the door guys and will joke with them if there's been a lot of good looking putas that day / night which always gets them rolling. Everyone knows the score at Ticuan and now you do too.

To be clear, I'm talking about crossing the border *by foot*, not by car. Same answer?GE has replaced SENTRI for US Citizens. SENTRI is now primarily for Mexican nationals, or US citizens who can't qualify for GE. Your GE card is used in the pedestrian SENTRI lanes, as well as the vehicle lanes IF you have already registered your car and received approval to cross in it.

Global Entry is good at any air, land, sea entry into the US, on foot or in cars.
Hey all,
I just got my Global Entry application approved. During the interview, I asked the CBP agent if Global Entry works for the Sentri lines at the San Ysidro pedestrian crossings. He said yes, it does. I hope it's true, because the lines to return to the you. S from Mexico can get quite long. But the interview took place in Atlanta, so I'd like to corroborate this.
Is it true? Can a USA Citizen use the Global Entry card to go through the Sentri line at Ped East and Ped West?
Why do American strip clubs hire morbidly obese women. I was at a strip club and there were 2 strippers that were at least 225 pounds. Not curvy or thick but obese. The worst part is they have nasty attitudes. What is it with fat women that think they are hot and how are they getting past the audition. Is there anyone on the board that used to work in strip clubs that can explain this phenomenon. Don't tell me that some guys prefer girls like this.

There's nothing tricky about Ticuan. I've stayed there dozens of times. It's literally monger central outside the Zona. I have no doubt many of us have walked past each other in the lobby, on the floors and getting on and off the elevators. I see escorts all the time entering and exiting the lobby. I have rapport with the door guys and will joke with them if there's been a lot of good looking putas that day / night which always gets them rolling. Everyone knows the score at Ticuan and now you do too.Yup, and I've seen a lot of mongers, probably from the US side who speak perfect English in the lobby or roaming the halls. Haven't seen a lot of escorts, but I've definitely wondered if some attractive women with guys are. They probably are! I'm not sure why Ticuan would ever be viewed as difficult in the least. I love that it is so friendly towards having escorts and that it is such an easy place to stay.

I've made several posts exclaiming how amazing having the Global Entry card is and just gliding past the enormous line getting back across the border on foot. Usually, I've been staying overnight in a hotel and will leave before noon, generally staying over on Saturday night and coming back on Sunday morning to the US side. The line from about 9 am - 12 noon is exceptionally long in the regular line. Being able to bypass it with the Global Entry card is incredible. What probably might be a three hour wait, takes three minutes.

Every time she sees me she greets me in the most pleasant manner. I have observed that she does that to everyone she comes across. I hadn't seen her for weeks and yesterday I saw her and she greeted me so warmly asking me how I am. At the same time the obese women have a scowl on their face and greet no one. I think it has to do with the emphasis placed in American society on looks. Women who are pleased with themselves tend to have a better attitude and the converse is true.

When returning to air, land, sea entry in the US, Global Entry bearers have to have the card in their possession.
When you stand in front of a GE machine at airport, it reads RFID from the card in your wallet, take pictures of your face and use facial recognition to verify your ID and makes a GO or NO GO decision within 15 seconds. Compared that to 30-45 minutes wait inline with 450 passengers without GE returning in a B777.
Crossing back in cars with GE in San Ysidro, you have to wave the card at the RF reader. It pulls up your ID for the CBP agent. Cameras also take pictures of the front and rear of the car, read the license plates,. High selectivity and directional audio mikes record any sound and conversation in the car.
One time I drove back in an unregistered car, identical in model and paint color with a registered one, only with different license plates, hoping the agent did not notice. When the car arrived at the booth, the CBP agent immediately told me this car was not registered, but let me go through.
Another time while waiting in line at the RF pole with all kinds of cameras and mikes hanging on it, I remarked to my wingman the blonde CBP woman was very attractive. Looked like our conversation was recorded in the agent's computer. She snarled at me not to fool around with federal officers. Man, she was very sexy as an authority figure hehe.
For the last 10 years, I drive back in SENTRI lane almost every weekend, discharge non GE wingmen near the gate to cross over on foot and drive across in 1 to 5 minutes. After 10 PM the pedestrian line is usually very short. The non GE wingmen usually walk across in 5 to 10 minutes and meet with me near the Jack in Box. CBP records all border crossing data but my crossing data must way too big for any federal computer to store. This is the most efficient way to visit La Zona with wingmen. Without wasting 2 hours walking and cabbing across the border, we have 8 to 10 hours to spend in La Zona with hot girls every trip, so have no need to stay over night in Tijuana and waste the next day.
Just be careful that CBP agents may arrest drunk drivers and call in CHP to do DUI tests in the Secondary Inspection tent. I have seen a guy driving a Toyota pickup truck in front of me, got arrested by CBP. He was shouldered by 2 agents and could hardly walk on his feet.

A nasty divorce in NYC.
He's 47, she's 65, old and chunky. He must be dumb to hook up with her. She knows how ream him up his sorry ass. Now he lost his job, reputation and a lot other things.

A Merrill Lynch money manager was forced to leave his job in shame after his ex blasted out emails falsely claiming he hired hookers, had sexually transmitted diseases, and used drugs, according to a $7 million lawsuit.
Jean-Charles Beriau, 47, who has been locked in a nasty divorce with Thea the. Shive, 65, since 2020, claims she also sent the messages to his new gig as a private wealth advisor at Morgan Stanley, prompting a probe by the company's human resources department.
"I'll show the huge pile of STD bills you have accumulated during COVID to everyone," Shive, a dentist, allegedly threatened in January 2022.
"You should use a condom for your own sake," the missive continued. "You might want to find a cleaner hooker, as well. ".
The pair signed a prenuptial agreement and got hitched in 2005, but the relationship began deteriorating in 2018, said a rep for Beriau, who spent more than 15 years at Merrill Lynch as a trader and hedge funder before he claims he was forced to switch jobs in May.

Made some errors getting out the airport, cost me quite a bit of time. Then when I got there, hotels were full, no rooms left in Coahuila, and the last single at Rizo the'Ora went as I was asking at the counter. So I went to Riviera, that I'd been meaning to try sometime. $30 for a decent room, just wasn't the right night to try this one as there were vastly fewer street girls out in the pouring relentless rain than usual and it's tough to take girls from clubs there.
First "lady" I tempted back there turned out to have rather more down there than I was expecting. Next one was very fussy and I didn't really get a good vibe, so we called it off before we even got started.
Valeria was waving at me enthusiastically as I walked down the alley the next morning. She looked like the business to me, all proper latina curves and we quickly made an arrangement for $50 over in the Riviera. All covered, but let me do what I wanted, and let me teabag her and blow a load over her big round titties after taking her up her big round ass.
Got a room at Coahuila ($55) next night, Adelitas always has girls I want when I don't stay there though. Tried 2 girls for a drink, first had fake tits and ass, she was OK, but didn't click. 2nd was a nice 35 yo MILF, all natural, but shapely. She didn't want to offer a couple of things on my desired menu, but she said she would, "for you". We had a good time and she pried $115 out of me. Had a drink in Chicago Club too, nice chica said she'd look after me real well, but she was trying for $150 and didn't like me offering $80. Couldn't find the amazing blonde I'd seen last time I came in Nov in Adelitas again, sadly. I also tried La Carreta, but got stuck with a chunky lady who wasn't easy to communicate with. There was a stunner on stage, but she vanished after. I even went and had a drink in the dingy bar on the corner opposite La Malquerida as I liked the look of one sticking her head out to smoke. She asked for $60, but I definitely didn't want to drop $25 on their shitty hotel when mine was right across the road.
No line at all leaving 10 ish Monday morning.

It has never once taken me that long. If I walked from my parked car near the border and walked over the border and walked all the way to the Zona Norte, I could see that taking me an hour though.

When you stand in front of a GE machine at airport, it reads RFID from the card in your wallet, take pictures of your face and use facial recognition to verify your ID and makes a GO or NO GO decision within 15 seconds. Compared that to 30-45 minutes wait inline with 450 passengers without GE returning in a B777.I've had Global Entry since the program's inception, I'm on my 3rd renewal now and have used it well over 100 times flying back to the US in airports. It's unbelievably valuable for international travelers and yeah for crossing back from Mexico when the lines are long it's worth the price and hassle of getting even for that 1 time crossing back with long lines. Anyone making even semi-regular trips to Mexico should get one.
I also fly internationally a lot, and returning to a US airport is as you describe but I have never known the kiosk to read anything from the card. Global Entry is connected to the passport. I have always slid my actual passport into the passport reader, from there the facial recognition thing kicks in and the paper slips comes out, usually in 1-5 seconds never 15. I just did it a month ago. This is from the official web site FAQs:
Global Entry cards are not accepted at Global Entry kiosks, which require passports or USA Lawful permanent resident cards.
https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-entry/frequently-asked-questions
I am off to Thailand again next month and I'll try when I return but I don't think the card has any use when flying back; only the actual passport book. I actually don't even bring my card but next month I will just to test this.
Otherwise at airports it's as you describe we just veer off to the GE kiosks which rarely have a line and if they do I have never waited more than 2 or 3 minutes. Then after immigration and picking up bags, there is often a special customs line that again is never long, in fact usually just walk thru as GE holders just get waved thru. It expedites walking back from TIJ using Cross Border Express into San Diego also.
I know this is off topic, but for those who go to Southeast Asia a lot (Hello, Thailand and Philippines!) The APEC card is similar to GE except it works in Asian countries and can also be a life saver when airports get packed, as you can use all the Diplo lines. It's especially helpful in NAIA which always has super long lines earning its ranking as the worst airport in the world. APEC card is harder to get though, you need a business reason to get one. But once you get it, it's easy to renew.
One more thing on Global Entry. One time before COVID I went down to Tijuana and forgot my actual Global Entry card, I only had my passport. There was a small main line so like many times before I used the far right GE / Sentri line. When I got to the officer I told him I forgot my card but that GE is keyed to my passport. He told me I must have the card and told me to go back and wait in line. I started to argue that in airports I just use my passport and he cut me off and loudly and rudely yelled at me "This isn't an airport, go get in line! Those guys can be suck dicks!
So from my experience walking across the border at least at San Ysidro and flying into any US airport are the opposite. For walking over you need the card, don't even need to show passport to return. For flying back to the US, the card is useless, GE is tied to your passport which is used in the kiosk.

Usa border patrol is not mexixan border patrol. You can not crack jokes, act happy, you just banged six girls in 24 hrs, or had fun dancing drinking at pulgas. So your in good mood. Border patrol is never in good mood. All they know is ordering people where to go, to stop, and always on alert to be harmed themselves. Their only joy is staring at the halfway decent looking woman who cross by foot. If youvpay attention all them do it and they love to smile at them ask questions. For me they brush me thorough now since I got the card. Before that I had few incidents where the guy jumped from behind the counter "put your hands up" patting me down. When he felt my phone in a pocket and I said "I don't know what that is" he almost lost it. He wanted to find drugs so bad ibcould feel his desperation. . I got a million things in my acket pocket how the hell am I supposed to know on instant moments notice what he's touching.

Last time I used GE at a major airport after coming back from overseas, I didn't even need to pull out my passport. The kiosk quickly ID'd me and I was able to walk through without issue. As where on foot, the GE card is needed just to bypass the gate to get into the building, otherwise, you'll have to wait with everyone else.

So if I'm interpreting that correctly the officer who yelled at you was literally just following the stated rules.

Now that I think about it, I haven't carried my GE card for years because it used to be useless when returning by air. So there was no need to bring it and I didn't want to lose it on a trip.
I'm trying to remember as my mind is always foggy and I've usually had more than a few drinks when I land, but maybe the last time all I did was the facial recognition. I know the kiosks are way faster now and we don't need to answer the questions.
On my trip next month I'll bring my card and test all this out.

When walking back across you need the GE card. As at dodgers69 said, the Border guys aren't a fun group to deal with. A lot of them are total dicks, but then I guess they put up with a lot of shit and that job can't be very fun. One good part about the GE card is they usually just ask one question and whisk you thru. Something like, where do you live or where are you going. I think they just want to hear you speak english.

Coming into Mexico, it's not as busy as a few months ago. The car parking lots are not full, there is no line to get through Immigration, and lady just looked at my passport and waved me through.
At the OXXO across from HK there is often a begger looking for a handout as he opens the door for you. I often give him some change etc. And totally respect his technique. We here in the USA have beggers on the center median's asking for money which I totally understand but really think the Mexican guys understand SERVICE. They perform a service to give something of value before they ask for money. In the USA it's just "give me some money".

Every time I park in San Ysidro I'm pissed at how expensive the parking is. I've tried a few. Border station, that one behind jack in the box, the one across the bridge. Every time I park overnight it's absurd. I think last time I paid 70 dollars overnight.
Anyone know any better (but still secure) lots? If not I'm thinking it's probably better to just park in a residential community outside SD and then Uber to the border. The Uber would cost far less.

If one friend finds a hot girl who is accompanied by an ugly friend (I. E. Grenade), it is the sworn job and duty of the accompanying friend (the wingman) to occupy the ugly girl so his friend can get action with the hot girl. The revered duty and purpose of a wingman is to streamline the night for his friend as much as possible, tackling any obstacles and cockblocks.

Yes, it takes longer and costs more, but can work if you don't have a buddy with you. Sometimes it takes 2 meets before she is comfortable meeting you without the friend. It's for her safety, just show her and her friend she's safe, and treat the friend well (to food and drinks).

If I find a pair of girls, one attractive and one butt ugly, I would just focus on the attractive one and ignore the ugly's interruption. I don't want to pretend I am interested in her. Hopefully she's into so stupid and will take the hint to leave me alone with her friend.
Many times these duos are switch and bait scams. The attractive one acts as the bait, doing her ugly friend a favor to attract then switch guys to her ugly friend. As you know, women are extremely devious and shameless.
Many stupid, ugly, uneducated, skillless women still think they are worth a lot to men, and will try all tricks to manipulate men. In reality all they have are their loose, stinky pussies which are worthless LOL. I have seen guys try so hard to impress and romance crude, stupid, ugly women. These guys are weak, stupid and ridiculous.
Guys should not let ugly women play them like toys, used then discarded.

In the states you deal with it differently because the friend isn't as worried about her friend's safety. The girl was about 20, and I look about 40 now that I lost 15 pounds. Her friend was giving me bullets with her eyes like she ain't going anywhere buddy. I was dressed nice clean and all shaved. Not threatening at all, other than being twice her friends age. We were clicking but I just couldn't close the deal. DD naturals. Cute as a button in front of Plugas. I forgot how much I hate gaming regular girls.

There's a rarely-enforced 24-hour parking limit, and the trolleys stop running a bit before 1:00 AM. I use the one at Palm Ave, and I've never heard of anyone having any kind of problem doing this.

Thanks, both of you with the trolley idea.
That's a good one.
It's been probably 10 years since I've visited the zona. Always parked in San Ysidro or stayed at motel near the border trolley station and walked across border and taxied to the zona. But I see there is a new Libra parking structure at the end of the alley. I am considering driving in and parking. Is this structure safe for a few hours of fun before driving back over?

Is this structure safe for a few hours of fun before driving back over?I've parked there numerous times and never had a problem. I usually pay 70-100 pesos for a few hours and they have another parking lot near Senda Norte, Tropical bar. The other parking lot you could get validation if you were HK VIP. Just have to take parking ticket to get stamped at front counter of HK. Hope you have Sentri as the normal lines seem pretty long.
Libra parking structure at the end of the alley. I am considering driving in and parking. Is this structure safe for a few hours of fun before driving back over?I've pared there many times, without any problem.
I was in Tijuana last weekened. Had not slept well the night before so needed a hotel in La Zona to catch some sleep. I wanted a hotel close to all the action, with wifi, and preferably accepting credit cards--I'd previosly stayed at Hotel Garcia, which was cozy, but they were not tech savy, giving me their wifi password written by hand that I had to decipher, and was never able to get connected (had an old laptop at the time, and that was two years ago so maybe things at H. Garcia have changed).
Decided to try Hotel Leyva, having never stayed there before. Lyva's single rooms were sold out, so got a double for 700 pesos, and was able to pay with credit card (paid the measly 50 peso deposit in cash). Their wifi information was posted clearly on a printed sheet on the lobby wall. They gave me a room on ground floor facing the parking lot. The room was spacious, clean and quiet, but no TV set. The wifi worked without issues. I was able to rest well with no interruptions.
When I left the hotel to roam the streets, I offered to leave the key at the front desk, but they declined. It was a regular house key without attachments, so could fit in pant's mini-pocket. Upon returning to the room some hours later, there was a roach on top of the room's desk. I had read about roach infestations at this hotel, so was not surprised. Still, I can't complain for everything else the hotel offered, and it's not like there aren't roaches in my house too.
Out near the corner of CL. Coahuila and Av. Constitucion there is a taco stand convenient to those staying at Leyva; I ordered the Birria Stew to go to eat in the hotel room. Though they packed my "to go" bag with lots of lemons, tortillas, and spice sauce, there was no spoon included (have to get it yourself). Discovered the lack of spoon once in the room, but did not feel like venturing out again for a plastic spoon, so made-do with the torillas, the cup's lid, and my bare hands as makeshift spoons. Regardless, the birria was very tasty!
On the whole, I was satisfied with Hotel Leyva, well located right next to Chicago Club, only security is not tight, seems anyone can enter the premises with ease, especially through the parking lot.
The highlight of the trip was a 21 year old named Samantha that I found at night in the alley almost at Av. Ninos Heroes. I was surprised at how beautiful she was, stading in a dark corner of the alley where you'd more expect something old and ugly. In the room, I accepted her offer of 'servicio completo' for 600 pesos (I never do 'completo' but was willing to roll dice on this one). With all the clothes off, she was flawless, the service was good, definitely worth the cost. Her pussy had a slight smell, but not a bad smell, more like a nice fragrance. Some guys on here like to complain about smelly pussies, but the way I see it, smelly pussy is better than no pussy, hehe.

Anyone here ever use Mexican Cupid instead of Seeking to find PPMs? Considering it, but I'm not sure if it would be out of place. Like the girls would say they're looking for a boyfriend not a PPM with a gringo. Not that I can't ask. Just asking if the energy on Mexican Cupid doesn't lend itself to PPM stuff.

"I'd previosly stayed at Hotel Garcia, which was cozy.
So looks like you can stay in H. Garcia 24 horas? Did you? I like to get a day room too when down there and bringing a bro. Early 70's with me next weekend so want to get the best for the price on Sat. And Sun. Nights.
Thank you.

Thank you.Yes, two years ago I stayed at Hotel Garcia for 24 hours. It was a Thursday and must have paid around 800 pesos (give or take deposit), the room was clean and quiet with hot water in shower (didin't test the water at Leyva), cable TV, and satin sheets on bed which was rather sexy. There is a patio on the upper levels from where you can see some of the action on Ave Constitucion. Also, the premises felt secure (unlike the gaping holes at Leyva), and the location prime. The main issue for me was their Wi-Fi, but that may have been fixed, or you may not have that need. There are women who stand outside of the ground floor entrance, and also right around the corner in front of La Gloria Bar. You were allowed one free guest entry per 24 hour stay at Hotel Garcia. I don't know about current prices / availabiity.

Can anyone confirm if HK still honors the big Monday & Tuesday night discounts for Cascades and Rizo hotels on or near USA holidays. Such as Easter Monday, Memorial Day, Labor Day, etc. Think the 4th of July is a Tuesday this year & Christmas is a Monday.
Can anyone confirm if HK still honors the big Monday & Tuesday night discounts for Cascades and Rizo hotels on or near USA holidays.

The other 5 nights a week are a 10 or 20% discount some posters have written its only 2 days a week discount. That is not accurate. One of the only good things economically, for me, in Tijuana besides 1 or 2 dollar beers, is that hotels don't gouge an delay games with prices. So even on holiday nights, a big Friday night Saturday night the prices are the same as the prior weekend night. Of course if you book on travel websites at last minute this won't apply.

When I went back to the US last week, I crossed at Ped West. No line, but a long walk.
No idea what Ped East is like.
Something I have noticed lately is that when you hand over the money to a bar girl, they don't even bother to count it anymore. I could understand if it's a girl you're pretty familiar with, then they would trust you to give them your usual set amount, but this has happened with new girls as well for the most part. I can think of 7 new girls I have banged this year alone and only 1 of them counted it, which unsurprisingly turned out to be a dud. I know some of you scoff at the modern set prices but if a girl is an 8 or above I just give them $100 for most part. If they're between a 6. 5 and 7. 5 I stay firm at 80 and they pretty much all accept. So 6 of the 7 new girls I have been with this year at the bars have all stashed the money in their purses without counting once I handed it over. Maybe it's nothing but it still catches me by surprise. I have to admit, it does make the overall experience a little better, psychologically. Especially when some of them never even ask to get paid and wait for whenever you’re ready to hand the money over.
I was eavesdropping on a little argument happening at the Hong Kong entrance the other day between a girl, an American monger she had just sessioned with and a couple guys from management. The guy didn't speak any Spanish and the girl didn't speak English so there was a huge language barrier. The girl was claiming the guy short changed her and that when he handed the money over he just emptied his pockets and gave her all he had. She seemed upset at how much he gave her. Management was asking her how much he gave her and she said she didn't know, which sounded weird but she clearly didn't think it was enough. How she knew that without knowing how much he gave her, I don't know. The monger was telling management he gave her $80. When they asked the girl if he gave her that much she said she didn't know and that he just handed her a bunch of assorted bills. It was a weird argument on her part but that's all that I heard. She even started crying at the end and told them she didn't even want the money anymore since they weren't completely taking her side like she wanted them to. Who the fuck knows what ended up happening.
I went into the hotel Garcia & asked what the rate was for 30 minutes. They were charging $20 for half a hour.
Yes, two years ago I stayed at Hotel Garcia for 24 hours.

Who the fuck knows what ended up happening.She must be new and not used to dealing with dollars and got confused. I can definitely see a princess girl, who herself makes 3 k a week, seeing a gringo empty his pockets for her throwing together some 5 dollar bills, a ten, 10 singles, couple 20's. I can imagine that would set the princess off into a "this pandejo is poor and I just let him have sex with me where's his wad of a grand in cash like the asians and. Arabs have". No joke, one time in my first year of 2 of hk, a girl talked to me for a moment, touched, whatever. I had no singles tried to give her 4 quarters. She wouldn't take it. I was very less self aware of the little use a mexicsn has for American change and the high income of hk girls.

Thanks.I'd say Telcel is the most convenient, don't know if it's the best. I got a Telcel SIM when I was doing some window shopping in Zona Rio, but you can get them all throughout Tijuana. Just walk in, tell them you want SIM, pay for the SIM and plan, and away you go. I think I paid roughly $10 in total. Good reliable internet all through Tijuana and MX, in general.

No idea what Ped East is like.So then Ped West has opened? This is news to me. From reading news stories, seems only foot traffic is flowing north to the US, but not south, and only from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Two weeks ago in the afternoon we drove across "the bridge" and I glanced at the Ped West but didin't see any activity, probably had just closed. But even these limited hours will be helpful. https://www.borderreport.com/regions/california/no-one-is-using-california-border-pedestrian-crossing-after-reopening-customs-officer-says/

You may return to usa in a pine box. I'd be hesitant to take her anyplace off revulxuion street. If its a set up revoilcion street gona be thr toughest for them to do it. Guys get set up like this all time in the states too. So far I've had three incidences in mexixo of robberybor near robbery from girls. One they used a thin pretty girl to ask me for sex, said, no then she wanted a dollar till the 5 friends attacked me. The 2nd one showed me her hotel room near hk even though it was 7 am and I told her I wasn't interested till maybe later she said just look at the room now. Her boyfriend was in room I saw him immediately he didn't have time to hide in bathroom so inwas already in hallway before they could grab me up. 3rd time a girl I have had fichas with ten times in 2 years outright grabbed my wallet from me and took money out when she was pissed I wouldn't give her money for no reason and basically told her I didn't even want sex just be social friends at her bar and ill buy her a few beers.

I have done this before. It's because I only have a day and want to make it count. I'll bang 6 times between Sunday and Monday when I'm there.
I realize now I should've just gotten a morning girl and and evening girl.
I pay generously. I know this. I do it because I want zero chance of a cancellation (again, one day to count.
I married so I don't get many). 10 k pesos and travel expenses.
So back to the question. Anyone know stuff to do? Maybe I'll just see a movie or two.

Let me be blunt with my question here. My Spanish is good, not great. In between bangs I'm going to have hours to kill.
What can I do there that's pleasant for both? Was thinking to take us for massages maybe?First off, will say spending a whole day with a chica you've never met in person without already having a plan in place seems like a horribly bad idea on multiple levels. Also paying $10 K pesos + travel expenses for this seems a bit much, especially since you don't really even know the girl.
What's "best" for you to do spending the whole day together honestly depends on what you both like to do, which you'd have a much better idea of if you actually knew this girl in the first place LOL. Some random ideas include:
-Take her to a nice restaurant based on whatever her favorite foods might be. Many solid ones in the Chapultepec and Zona Rio areas. Telefonica Gastro Park isn't fine dining but has an excellent variety of foods so she'd probably find something she really likes there.
-Spend a few hours at the beach (Playas). Or you could even take a half-day+ trip down to Rosarito beach which is a bit better.
-If you / she likes beer spend a few hours brewery hopping.
-The big casino on Agua Caliente if either of you likes gambling.
-Take her to a movie.
But it really all depends on what you (and she) like to do which none of us know. Good luck.
I recently got my Sentri card and read that Pedwest is opened from 6 am until 2 pm. I have used my Sentri card twice at Pedeast but never at Pedwest. Which is faster crossing by land back to the USA If my car is parked at border station parking?

A movie or two would kill 4-5 hours of fun unless you have fun in the VIP Cinepolis loungers. They have pool halls, bowling alley, breweries, restaurants, batting cages, driving ranges, beaches, more restaurants, bars, clubs, shopping, etc. So much to do, but again not sure what the parties involved are interested in doing with their time. If you're married, then probably best to stay in for the night and limit outside interactions. It is a small world and you'the be surprised who you might run into or who might see you. I've had other chicas take photos of me and send it to their friends when out and about. Not sure what social circles you have or risk tolerance, but that is why most mongers just go to the club and do a wham bam thank you ma'am deal. Have fun and stay safe!

It's going to be movies. That's a good way to just pass some time without having to talk.

I'm usually the one providing answers, but it seems I have questions these days!
I'm looking for a nice, pretty nice hotel where I can pay with cash and not have to use a credit card, even for incidentals. To be off the grid. Not have it on show up on my credit card statement.
Does anyone know if Mansion is like that? Or others? I know the ones on Coahuila are but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something a little nicer and in a better part of town.

And if you drive your car they will record your plate # . So not sure if that is totally considered off the grid.
I guess back when I was using these love motels the GF would drive there and I would pay cash and therefore no record of me being there except for some video they might be recording.
I recently got my Sentri card and read that Pedwest is opened from 6 am until 2 pm. I have used my Sentri card twice at Pedeast but never at Pedwest. Which is faster crossing by land back to the USA If my car is parked at border station parking?Pedwest has no dedicated Sentri lane but you can walk past the entire line and there isn't a wait. Will take less than 5 m and most of that is walking.
I'm not sure where your car is but the walk from pedwest to the trolley station is 10-15 m.

On the weekend maybe only for 4 hours, I don't know. - Mansion is ok, TV with porn channels, comfortable big beds, air condition, shower. You can order food and drink to your room.
Social media? You never met her? If your paying this girl, do not go anyplace that's her idea. You may return to usa in a pine box. I'd be hesitant to take her anyplace off revulxuion street. If its a set up revoilcion street gona be thr toughest for them to do it. Guys get set up like this all time in the states too. So far I've had three incidences in mexixo of robberybor near robbery from girls. One they used a thin pretty girl to ask me for sex, said, no then she wanted a dollar till the 5 friends attacked me. The 2nd one showed me her hotel room near hk even though it was 7 am and I told her I wasn't interested till maybe later she said just look at the room now. Her boyfriend was in room I saw him immediately he didn't have time to hide in bathroom so inwas already in hallway before they could grab me up. 3rd time a girl I have had fichas with ten times in 2 years outright grabbed my wallet from me and took money out when she was pissed I wouldn't give her money for no reason and basically told her I didn't even want sex just be social friends at her bar and ill buy her a few beers.You're making Tijuana sound as dangerous as Medellin.
You're making Tijuana sound as dangerous as Medellin.One time a hooker across from the tecate store said she would sleep with me for free. I said there is no free sex in la Zona. I'm sure her guy friend was waiting in the room. You need street smarts in Tijuana. It's as dangerous as you make it. Mexican guys are the most morally bankrupt uneducated people you will meet. Trust none of them.

Is it a dodgy hotel or nice? Like could you take a civvie girl there and not have her feel like an escort? It is it an "escort kinda of hotel?

I'm not sure where your car is but the walk from pedwest to the trolley station is 10-15 m.If you have global entry it's really about where you park. If you park the other side of the bridge no point walking the bridge maybe 15 min just to cross in and out. Might as well cross there. If you park along San ysidro Blvd then cross ped east. Global entry is so short on ped east that why even make that a consideration. It's more where you're leaving your car.

Most Mexicans I've met down there are laid-back and super cool actually. Sure, there's a high level of hustling and crime in and around the Zona but IMO that's much more so out of economic necessity / doing what you have to do to make ends meet than it is being morally decrepit.

It is it an "escort kinda of hotel?I've been there once with my favorite regular from Adelitas. She suggested the place and drove us there in her jeep. I did not have to use a credit card. Only used cash. The room was nice and spacious, definitely much better than the basic or even "deluxe" rooms they have at Cascadas. The weekend we went there was a line of cars we had to wait in to check in, though I think that only took us about 15 minutes or so to get through from what I recall. The hotel rooms even have a garage where you can park your car. If you order food / drink from what I recall you don't even have to deal with the person delivering the food face to face. There was a dropbox in the room they can deliver the food / drink to your room through and you could make the cash payment through that same box (at least for the room I had).
4 hour limit on the weekends and no in-and-out privileges. It's a pretty nice hotel but it is known as a hotel mostly for guys with escorts / hookers.

That same excuse is made in the states by all these gang banging thugs that sell drugs and spray graffiti ever. They say there are no jobs, that's why they do it. I call BS. I've always found a job since a teenager. There are 10 million jobs openings in America as we speak. They can't fill the positions.
Nobody wants to work. Get rid of all welfare and section 8. We will see these jobs fill faster than you think. Lazy ass country we live in now. I've seen the deterioration for the last 15 years. People are just lazy and think they are entitled to a certain salary to start or they will go illegal. You have to start somewhere and get experience.
You're making Tijuana sound as dangerous as Medellin.Tijuana is the murder capital of the world and there's like 4 people in jail for murder. 99% of murders result in no jail time. And a gringo is going to be the best target. Just ask Mexicans how often they are stopped walking by policia. They will say never. Everyone's fav target is the gringo.

Trust none of them.I don't think it is a Mexican guys issue at all. I think it is a pimp issue. And it just so happens that the pimps in this Zona Norte are Mexican. I think that if you were to visit a red light district in China or Europe, you are going to meet men of lower quality regardless of race, culture or national origin. Once I left the Zona Norte, I thought the quality of people, men in particular improved greatly.
