Food with Special Flavor. . . Man accused of dipping testicles in customer salsa.
A Tennessee man was jailed on felony charges after appearing to dip his testicles into a container of salsa that a customer had ordered online.
The delivery driver allegedly recorded it and posted a video online, saying "This is what you get when you give an 89 cents tip for an almost 30-minute drive."

With the kind of "generous" tippers I've seen in the HK Club, can you imagine what the Tijuana Meseros have been putting in your food and drink? I always tip the meseros after they bring me a drink or food to prevent the testicle or whatever flavored drinks, but last week I mentioned to 4 newbies sitting together in the HK club around 10:30 am, "Seems strange, your waiter looks unhappy to me. Maybe you haven't been tipping him?" "Yeah, he looks unhappy. Maybe I should tip him something. " They all ordered coffee from Azul. Wonder what was in it? A few weeks earlier, another newbie was ordering things and I noticed the waiter ignored him and walked off. Same scenario.
[QUOTE=Jim0129;2292615]I've been reading all the posts about food in Tijuana, they go from dumb, ridiculous to down right stupid by people who only eat at the taco stand right next to the working girl house, or even worse, they run to the nearest Mcdonalds because either they don't have money for anything better or are too afraid of the "bad water".
Some of you even mentioned that the good food in Tijuana comes from San Diego, that because we're so close to a civilized city we are blessed to get our produce, meats and seafood from San Diego, Oh Pleeaasssee!
Here is Anothony Bourdain telling everyone to dich San Diego and go to Tijuana if you want a good meal.

Rateros by Tropical alley.
The alley between Pepe's parking and the Tropical Club appears to be a popular spot for Rateros. I give the mouth of the alley lots of space. When it was raining, one ratty looking dude was looking down the street toward's Pepe's, which seemed strange to me (why stand there in the rain), so I walked wide into the street to avoid the mouth of the alley. There was another guy with his back to the wall facing the guy (lookout?) looking toward's Pepe's. When I walked by in the street, one of them peeled off and started following me, but I just quickly crossed the street towards the HK Club, and the ratero gave up. This Tuesday afternoon, I noticed a couple of dudes testing a stun gun in the Tropical Club alley. Guys beware having a stun gun jammed into your neck if you walk too close at night to the alley to get to Pepe's. Walk in the street where the rateros have to chase you to get close and you have time to notice them targeting you.

That's why its important to believe less than 10% of what you read and less of what you see.
As of the last few months, I have noticed less gringo shakedowns, but more areas in the zona de tolerencia where you can find drug dealers and their crews.
I still see what looks like groups of muggers scanning for easy marks.[/QUOTE]
