MY ADVICE FOR FIRST OVERNIGHT TRIP TO Tijuana
SHORT VISIT TO Tijuana?
WORRIED ABOUT GETTING LOST, COPS, SAFETY, FOOD, ETC?
DON'T KNOW WHERE TO STAY?
THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO DO IT, BUT HERE IS THE SAFEST, QUICKEST, CLEANEST, DRAMA- FREE BUT NOT CHEAPEST WAY TO SEE Tijuana FOR THE FIRST TIME.
DO NOT DRIVE A RENTAL CAR INTO Tijuana. DO NOT TRY TO STAY OUTSIDE THE ZONA AND GO BACK AND FORTH, DO NOT GO EXPLORING ON YOUR OWN. DO NOT TRY TO STAY ON THE USA SUDE AND COMMUTE, IT IS NO SAFER AND YOU CAN GET STUCK IN A 3 HOUR LINE TO GO BACK ACROSS.
DO NOT WALK AROUND OUTSIDE DRUNK STONED OR WITH CONTRABAND IN YOUR POCKET.
DO NOT TALK TO OR FOLLOW people YOU DON'T KNOW ON THE STREET.
EAT AT THE MONTE CARLO RESTAURANT NEXT TO ADELITAS, CALIENTE ACROSS THE STREET,"COMO LO BUENO" RESTAURANT NEXT TO MERMAIDS.
XOXO STORE IN FRONT OF HK IS THE 7/11 OF MEXICO, COFFEE, BEER, ETC.
OFFER $20 to open negotiations with street girls (YMMV, make sure you know what you are getting, OK to go up to $30-40 for exceptional or on wkends.)
S / G operate in 15 minute increments, bar girls in 30 minute increments, $5-10 for a quickie room 15 minutes, $12-15 to use the bar hotel for 30 mins.
Club girls offer $60 (YMMV anywhere from $50-100 depending on day, time, phase of the moon, special interests etc.) 30 mins.
Stick to the Hong Kong, Adelitas, Chavelas, Chicago, Tropical, street girls until you know what you are doing.
BEFORE you enter a room, give a buck or two to the guy who takes you there, now you are big friends and he won't come bang on your door early.
If you follow these instructions, you will be 99% safe and have a happy experience.
STAY OVER RIGHT IN THE ZONA: The Tijuana scene is a red light 4x3 block area where it is legal, the cops (theoretically) protect the girls the hotels and the clubs, and 90% of the girls won't leave that safe area unless they have known you for a long time, so now you are going to have to rent a fleabag room for $5 for 15 minutes or $10 for 30 minutes to do the deed.
WHY NOT GET A ROOM AND JUST STAY THERE, NOT WORRY ABOUT TIME LIMITS, WALKING AROUND, ETC?
Best bet: Walk across the border, grab a yellow cab 50 mts in front of the gate, go DIRECTLY to the Hong Kong Club. 10 minute ride for $5, pay $50 for a VIP card at the HK front desk, then walk right upstairs to the Cascadas Hotel, get a regular room for about $40, Jaccuzi suite for $65, nicer and cleaner than the Ticuan. It is the only place the HK girls are allowed to go, AND you can enter with any s / g, who will think you area high class guy for not making her go in the stinky $5 room. The place was completely remodeled over 5mm a yr ago and most of these cheapskates you are talking to won't spring for an extra $20 for the nice rooms, LOL.
The jacuzzi suites are on the higher floors, very little noise from the club below. Great restaurants on the street, clean food, room service, if you are coming from out of town why fuck around to save $20? You got everything there on ONE BLOCK. Check out the pic of the room with the champagne and jacuzzi that's the actual room = $85 MINUS 20% for the VIP card. $20 higher Friday Saturday, Immaculate and safe, and you don't have to go gallivanting around in taxis. The street girls stand right outside the door to the Cascadas. After a coupla nights there, WITH 200+ to choose from within 100 mts of your room, you will know the whole area, have lots of friends, and THEN you may decide to try somewhere else.

YES THERE ARE A LOT OF CHEAPER ALTERNATIVES, AND INTERESTING SIDETRIPS, BUT THEY ARE ALL WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE CASCADAS / HK / ADELITAS / TRIANGLE ANYWAY SO JUST CHECK IN FOR A NIGHT AND THEN GO LOOKING AROUND.
GFE IN Tijuana / My Take On It
I have been studying Tijuana for a while now. I am still learning but my take on GFE here is :
It is possible. How? You become a regular visitor AND YOU ARENT CHEAP when buying ficha drinks. If anything the chica knows that you are always good for a drink. On the occasion you do take her upstairs she will remember that and obviously most barriers have already been worked through.
Some of these girls like to drink more than they like earning money. Working in a club sober for 8 hrs a day is a bore. I've done it and it isn't fun watching other people have fun when you arent. They can't afford to buy them for themselves. YOU become the savior for getting them through a day at the office. If you know some spanish even better so it doesn't ruin their buzz when they are trying to decipher your english into spanish.
Lone mongers who come into town for a few days now and then will not have the greatest luck but obviously being overly generous with ficha drinks can put you in a better position.
