Other Areas

[TomJackin]

Welcome to Colima!

Colima is a smaller city and has a nice tourist area, but outside of that area, there was not much to see or do during the day. I have been avoiding this state because of the high crime / murder rate. However, I only have a few states left on my list to finish my quest, hence, I went for it!

Why Colima?

I am still slowly working my way through each state in Mexico; should be finish this year.

Note: I flew to Colima out of Tijuana and back only using my passport card. A passport book is not required.

All the money I quote is in pesos, unless you see the dollar sign.

I used CBX from Otay to the Tijuana airport and back. CBX round trip was around 38 bucks. CBX prices are seasonal. They have a low season, regular season, and high season. I crossed during the regular season, but for whatever reason, they charged me the low season price.

After clearing immigration at the Tijuana airport, I relaxed in the lounge for some chow and adult beverages. Returning, there was a VIP lounge called Salon Aeromar listed on the airport's website, however, the snack stand lady told me the lounge has been closed for over 9 years.

Getting there:

I flew Volaris round-trip to Colima. The flight was around 3-hours each way. The taxi to my hotel cost 350 and that seemed a lot for a 15-minute trip. I used an Uber when I returned to the airport and the cost was 190.

Getting around town:

There were Ubers in Colima, which was convenient. Besides the airport taxi, I did not use any other taxis in Colima. I did have an issue with one of the useless Uber drivers. First, I thought Exotika Massage was a place because when I researched the place, there was a brown building that kept popping-up on my screen.

I was a bit out of town at some famous local restaurant when I called the useless Uber. He took too long to arrive, but I had no other options at the point. We drove for over 30-minutes looking for a non-existing building. He stopped, pointed to some building, and left the crime scene quickly.

I was in the middle of fucking nowhere! All I saw was a half-dead cat, a limp-dick dog, and several unfinished buildings! I called the place and they confirmed it was, "outcall only. " It took a bit, but I finally got another Uber and got the fuck out of that area; I feel better now.

Hotel:

I stayed at the Gamma Colima Garden. Because I like the Gamma Cuernavaca Paradise, I figured it might be a good choice. The hotel was basic with no real extras and the restaurant / bar had weird hours of operation. Was it chica friendly? Yes, I brought in one escort on Friday evening and then the same escort with her friend on Saturday evening. Overall, the hotel fit my needs.

Communication:

I have the T-Mobile Go5 GPlus55 plan; no worries whatsoever.

Restaurants:

I did a lot of research before I left and here are my thoughts on the food scene:

Aroma. Outstanding.

Chepa Parrillo. Excellent.

Don Comalon Good.

Because of Independence Day, the street food venders were abundant throughout El Centro.

Spanish:

Colima is not a big tourist destination; hence, I heard no English spoken throughout my stay.

The mongering scene:

Strip / table dance clubs:

First off, I asked my taxi driver from the airport and several Uber drivers about some of the monger venues and I did not care for their answers.

Here were their answers:

Porkys If you go, they will kill you.

Zona de Tolerancia. If you go, they will kill you.

Street girl area. If you go, they will kill you.

So hell, it seemed like a great time!

In each club / bar, I asked several questions and did my best to write the answers on my trusty note pad. Thus, if I am wrong with any of my notes, feel free to chime in with the correct information. I wrote down the prices of the cheapest ficha and beer.

Club: La Pachanga.

Cover: None.

Beer: 66.

Ficha: 390.

Sex: 3900 for 30 minutes, double the price for 1 hour.

On Site: Yes.

Number of Chicas: 10.

Quality of Chicas: Good to very good.

Night / Time: Friday /10:30.

Comments: A large great looking club. I did not care for the chicas' prices, so I just had one drink and left. However, it is worth checking out.

Club: Enigma.

Cover: None.

Beer: 100.

Ficha: 220.

Sex: 2950 for 30 minutes. 2950? Just round it up for christ's sake!

On Site: Yes.

Number of Chicas:

Quality of Chicas: Good to hot.

Night / Time: Friday / Midnight.

Comments: A smaller club with a few hotties in the mix. I did not take a chica to a room, but I did enjoy talking and drinking with them. Nice club; check it out.

Club: Porkys.

Cover: None.

Beer: 60.

Ficha: 200.

Sex: 2100 for 30 minutes.

On Site: Yes.

Number of Chicas: 20.

Quality of Chicas: Okie dokie to very good.

Night / Time: Friday /12:45.

Comments: This was a huge local club. It was a down and dirty place; I loved it! I chatted with a few chicas; all friendly and touchy! The first night I met a blonde hottie that spoke English. She was ushered around table by table by her so-called pimp who was just a regular mesero. He pulled her from my table a couple of times, but she quickly returned shortly thereafter. I thought I had a different chica set-up to come to my hotel the following day, but she was a no show.

I returned Saturday night and the blonde quickly came to my table and we started drinking. I ended up taking her upstairs above the stage to the VIP room. I had a great time and I already started to plan for the wedding! You are all invited to attend!

The last two bars were in La Zona de Tolencia. There were only two bars opened and they were side by side:

Club: Mubatlan (not sure of the spelling).

Cover: None.

Beer: 60.

Ficha: Same prices for the chicas.

Sex: 1000 for 1 hour.

On Site: Yes.

Number of Chicas: 6.

Quality of Chicas: Scary to they would do in a pinch!

Night / Time: Friday /1:45.

Comments: It was a small down and very dirty bar; I enjoyed myself. I chatted with a couple of the chicas, but I could not get pass the missing teeth. Friday night was a full evening of mongering; hence, I decided to toss in the towel.

Club: Aventura.

Cover: None.

Beer: 60.

Ficha: Same prices for the chicas.

Sex: 1000 for 1 hour.

On Site: Yes.

Number of Chicas: 2.

Quality of Chicas: Scary to they would do in a pinch!

Night / Time: Saturday /1.

Comments: It was another small down and very dirty bar; I enjoyed myself there as well. There were only two chicas in the bar. The first was fucking huge and the other was not as huge! I liked the fucking huge one and I decided to take her big ass to the room. The Little Sailor was terrified, but I gave him a pep talk and he felt better. I know, I am a sick fuck!

Other places:

Exotika Massage Outcall only.

La Escondido Closed or too hidden (pun attended).

Casa:

One of the more knowledgeable Uber drivers showed me a casa called, "Casa de Huesped. " It was located next to Hidalgo Park on a very uneven shitty road called, "Calle Juarez. " We stopped there Friday afternoon around 5 and I got a chance to talk to one of the chicas. She said it was 50 for the room and 500 for 30 minutes. There were four chicas, all older and somewhat chunky. I did not partake.

Street scene:

I was told by a few drivers the street girls hung out in and around Juarez Garden (park). On Friday afternoon, we drove around the park at 2 and 5 pm. We did not see one street girl; maybe it was too early?

Escorts:

On Friday early evening, I summoned an escort from Mileroticos. Her price was 1400 for an hour. She was not a clock-watcher and we played nicely together. We exchanged numbers and she was off to see her next client!

The same night, when she was client free, she started texting me. I asked if she had a friend that could join us tomorrow; she did! She also asked for beer to be onsite; no worries. Thus, on early Saturday evening she recruited in a younger hottie. I was ecstatic! The cost was 1400 each for an hour, but they stayed longer. Not sure about them, but I had a great time.

Final thoughts on Colima:

It was a seeking putas and eating great food trip. I thought the city was safer than advertised and I never felt threaten in any manner. Would I ever return to Colima? No! Even though I had a great time exploring the clubs / bars and escorts, that would not be enough to make me want to return. Would I recommend the city to others mongers? Sure, you only live once!

Como siempre, Solo mis dos pinche pesos, por supuesto!

[RayRastus]

So. I was talked into organizing a five day trip to Mazatlan for a Boys trip. In the past we have travelled to other parts of Mexico. Cabo San Lucas being the favored one at this point.

This may as well be called a Mongering trip. Because golf is probably the last thing on the agenda.

And that is why I'm reaching out to my favourite mongers for. Help!

I am looking for places to go that are good pick up joints. Bars, Clubs. You name it! The joints in Cabo are usually where we go to and pay a " house fee" to take a companion back to our place for an evening of fun! I don't know of any places like that in Mazatlan. Does anyone?

Are there places that escorts frequent? Is the strip club scene similar?

hipocampo

looks rough outside and is not gringo heavy but is full of easy to figure out women, plenty of meseros to help https://www.facebook.com/Megahipocampo1/.

I've been to Tampaulitas (pretty bad on the last go around) . And Fonda. And a few other places in Mazatlan over the last few years, but I have been on my own. So it's been pretty easy. I can't see four of us heading to Tampaulitas for beers and drinks! LOL!

Please PM me if you have any suggestions!

Cheers.

What was the price at Sarah massage?

No idea. I wasn't interested at any price. The potential risks seemed to exceed the potential reward. I don't recommend this place to anyone with safety concerns about hobbying outside the tourist area in Mazatlan. The whole setup was sketchy as hell.

What was the price at Sarah massage?

[KenBlue50]

I've been scouting things out here in Mazatlan when I've had a little time during a family trip. I've made a couple of observations and discoveries. I haven't seen any evidence of activity at the front door of Nayely. There are cases of soft drinks at the bottom of the stairs, but I haven't seen anyone come or go there. I'd be interested in hearing from people who have visited this location as to whether the front door is where one gains access or if it's somewhere behind the building or elsewhere.

The exterior stairs at La Fonda always seem to be locked during daylight hours. I've not seen any activity here either.

Several pages back in this sub-forum, someone mentions a place kitty corner from La Fonda. I did observe activity at that location on Francisco Serrano. Do a street view search at 2325 Gral Francisco Serrano. The photo is from 2014, so the place has been around for awhile. I saw drivers waiting for clients at the exterior stairs which lead to the second floor location. This is not a gringo place. I didn't have the time or opportunity to check out prices or the lineup.

One more tidbit. A google map search of Sarah Masajes leads to an unmarked door at 1513 Luis Zúñiga. Against my better judgement, I let my little head do the thinking during this scouting trip. There was a running semi-truck parked in front. I walked by on the opposite side of the street and then in front of the door. An old man came out, motioned me in, and took me upstairs. Mamasan roused a young woman out of bed and brought her out to me. I asked in Spanish if she did massages, and she shrugged as though that was not her particular skill. I left for two reasons. One, I really wanted a massage plus. Two, she was flat-chested and younger than I like. I'm not saying she was underage, but just asking her wasn't going to put that question out of my mind. Mamasan would have been more my speed, but she made her unavailability clear. There may be other providers at this location but not at the time of my visit. I said in Spanish that I wasn't interested and got the hell out of Dodge. The old man looked disappointed but didn't get in my way. This is a marginal neighborhood in an area of strip clubs. While my idea of fun is walking around in spaces like this, others may want to avoid.

I made the wrong decision to hit-up Masajes Tamaulipas not far from there. snip

Thanks for the report. You saved me from making a similar mistake. I'm down here with family so mostly checking places out with the idea that if there's an opportunity.

I'm not at all sure that Nayely is gone. I've seen the business advertised on pulmonias, and there is a guy who hangs out at the door at night, kinda like a bouncer. However, there are no outdoor signs, and I've watched for awhile from the Play Norte Malecon and didn't see anyone go in that way--even at night. The same is true for La Fonda. The bar La Fonda is definitely open. From what I read here in past reports, there's stairs leading to the women, but they don't get there until late afternoon. I've had no opportunity to check that out other than having a beer at the bar. It is a pretty gritty place--smelled like cum to me and all locals. The options for massage at one of the spas like Moon or Aphrodite are on my radar but no opportunity. I'll update if opportunity arises.

As for the guy who asked about early morning opportunities, I don't think anything is open at that time. I've been approached on the Malecon about "ladies" (and drugs) at different times of the day, but that is going to be hit and miss with a specific time. I've just waved those guys away due to lack of interest in the latter and the sleaziness of the approach.

I've experienced what you have before and it sucks. All of that anticipation and planning and then just regret. You have to play to win, but if the odds are long, I'll probably keep my money in my pocket.

As for safety, I've been to a number of Mexican cities and border towns. It helps to speak some of the language, but I've never felt less safe here than in similar sized American cities where we know that violence occurs every day. I'd rather be on the supply side of the problem (drugs) than the demand side of the problem, but that's just me.

So, I decided to finally head out to visit the famous Mazatlan. I had heard great things about this place from people that are and that are not from there but who had visited in the past. I flew non-stop out of Tijuana. 1 Benji round trip on Vivaaerobus. 1 hour and 40 minute flight. I arrived around 8:30 pm local time. Flying at night over LOS Cabos was super cool. There was some bad turbulence along the way which coincides with the high winds and surf along with cooler temperatures this place has been experiencing all week.

Before exiting the airport's main area, you are offered taxi service that takes you directly to your hotel / airbnb for 450 pesos. It's actually not a bad deal as hailing a cab in the drop-off / pick-up area I was told could cost you upwards of 1,000 pesos. The airport is 30+ minutes outside the city. Ubers are not allowed to pick up there. However, I took a colectivo for only 160 pesos. I was told that the shuttle would be dropping people off along the way but not picking anyone up. I thought 15 extra minutes was OK as it would've allowed me to check out different parts of the city along the way. The truth was that it ended up taking me 1 hour and 45 minutes to arrive at my airbnb in Zona Dorada. This was because of a cute couple having to be dropped-off at their resort on the outskirts of town, in Butt F* Egypt. The driver assumed I understood when he mentioned he was detouring outside the city to avoid the local traffic. Even though I'm Latino and I speak Spanish I still didn't have a clue what he was referring to. Even if I would've said something he probably still wouldn't have dropped me off any sooner. Anyway, if you take the colectivo, make sure to bring along beverages and snacks for the long and uneventful ride.

I had no idea how many Americans and expats visit and live here. There's a cool spot on the main drag, Av Camaron Sabalo, called 'Gus Gus Save the Taco" with a live band playing classic rock hits. The band looking the part and all. Very cool! You can ride the local buses for 13 pesos each way. They run until 9:30 pm. I took one up to the marina area and gradually made my way back to Zona Dorada. The beaches are OK. The views are nicer than the water itself is. Walking along the Malecon is actually a good way to people watch and get some exercise done. I happened to hit up a few Starbucks along the way to get some work done on my computer. I even went to the one inside the mall, Gran Plaza Mazatlan, which has been one of my highlights of this trip. The eye candy here is AMAZING and the prices for food and everything else is lower than Zona Dorada's Gringo prices are. I have been to Culiacan previously and found the people and women there to be friendly. I thought Mazatlan would be the same but the impression I have had so far is that as a resort town people here are in it mostly for the hustle. I should've thought it would be like that as most similar places are the same. Think Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, and LOS Cabos. If there's anything else worthy of me reporting back about I will be doing so afterwards.

[Cyberdas]

Saturday night I decided to stop by Bar Tarrrandas located right where the Centro area begins just north of the Malecon. They open nightly from 9 pm to 4 am. I got there at 11 PM and was jam packed by midnight. Cover charge is 75 pesos. Beers are 50 pesos each. Don't know how much for cubetas or hard liquor. The lineup consisted of one 7, a few 6's and a whole bunch of 3's and 4's. A lot of older and overweight ladies. However, some of the plus-size ones actually had nice curves to them, with pretty faces and an OK attitude to match. No offense, but I can see some of the brothers going to town with them LOL! I only saw locals. Many couples went there as a date night. There was no pressure to buy the chicas drinks / fichas. However, the dancing that took place on stage was nothing special. Many didn't even take off their clothes. They were up there mostly to be requested over. A lap dance goes for 100 pesos and a session in a privado is 250 pesos for the house plus whatever each girl charges separately. The hottest one of the bunch quoted me 800 pesos for sex and 500 for a covered BJ. The sessions only last through 2 songs. I timed them, with the DJ talking in between songs, it was 7 to 8 minutes tops. If you want a longer session, then the room costs 600 pesos and the chicas charge somewhere around 2,000 pesos for their services. I didn't partake as I didn't think it was a good deal. It seemed too rushed. I had asked the mesero of other similar places nearby and said many remain closed and others were far.

I made the wrong decision to hit-up Masajes Tamaulipas not far from there. The place is on a residential street with no signs or anything to it. Outside is a guard that lets you in. Inside is the mamasan who gives you info. And collects your money. There must've been a lineup of around 6 girls. 3 doable and 3 passable. I should've seen the red flags from the attitudes of the girls but decided to let the smaller head do the thinking and talking instead. 1,000 pesos for one hour of fun with the room and the chica included. I went with a fair skin brunette thinking she was the better option available. I was led to a room on the second floor by her. As soon as we entered she sat down on one of the beds and didn't say anything. I was trying to break the ice by being friendly and trying to measure how things work out in this place. She barely smiled back and said the session was very basic. Everything else was on the table for a price. BJ was 500 pesos and if I wanted to touch her boobies it was an extra 200 pesos. No kissing anywhere. I said I just wanted to go with the basic as I did not go prepared to pay for more. She spent a great deal of time examining me and not being playful or anything. She then mentioned how we were not going to be there for the full hour even though this was what the mamasan had reassured me of. I said I wouldn't be lasting the hour but more like 40 minutes or so. She had me lay on my stomach and gave me a 2 minute unenthusiastic back rub. She then had me turn over and rushed to put the cover on. I was already not digging the session. I asked her to slow down to allow me to catch my breath and concentrate so my boy could perform. She was insisting on me enjoying without stopping. She wanted to finish me off with a hand job. I had to get up a couple of times to get her hands away from me. She finally agreed to only ride me cowgirl style. This was one of the worse sessions ever. I was trying to do missionary in order to be more in control of things but she wasn't having it. As soon as she mounted me I popped.

It was really awful. Everything I had asked the mamasan prior to happening actually took place. I've had some bad experiences in the past but this was easily among the worst of them. I got dressed and headed back downstairs to complain. I made it brief as I knew it was a waste of time plus it would've only put me in danger. The few guys who were there waiting to pick a girl heard what I had to say and refrained from pursuing. Good for them. I also noticed the girl who had gone up with the dude that picked her right before I picked mine was already back to the rotation of girls available. Meaning that they nickel and dime you before baiting and switching you into getting ripped off. Mazatlan's mongering scene blows! And I thought Tijuana was bad. The non-p4 p women in town also carry themselves with an air or arrogance and superiority. Despite their beauty they come off as unapproachable and uninterested. Very much the way women in Tijuana also do. Where they think they're Californians while also not liking us Californians being there either visiting or living.

[FerdinandII]

What are the best options in Mazatlan if you only have time in the morning like 8-10 am? Seems all the brothels and strips are closed at that time.

[Tna01]

So. I took a ride out to Tampualita place last week They've added a nice sign inside. Yes they are open and recognized me! LOL. Unfortunately the girls seemed young and tired! I guess I'm getting older! Hahaha.

I had the pleasure of a brunette (forgot her name) who had more interest in my hairy back than my frontal protrusion. Disappointed. I left after 15 minutes. Anyway, thought I'd head to La Fonda. But it seemed closed up. So.

I thought well. Nayleys. But alas that's gone!

As I was bemoaning my state, a pulmonic driver came up.

To me and offered me the opportunity to hook up with his exclusive friends. Persistent fella! But alas I did not take him up on the offer to go to his party joint! I gave him 100 pesos with a promise to get in touch with him another day..

I'm going to be in Mazatlán next month.

Is it safe outside the tourist areas for Americans since the recent increase in cartel activity?

And how was your Casa de chicas tour?

[Randy4]

I'm back for a few weeks. Just want to know if things are back to normal as far as mongering is concerned, due to the recent Cartel issues here in Sinaloa? Seems ok to me. May take a spin out to Tampaulitas and check things out later this week. Any comments?

No.

Today I'm going to hire a pulmonia driver to show me around the new Casa de chicas.

[Coolie High]

The older blonde chica texted me the next early afternoon (Sunday) and invited me to her sister's birthday party at some club. I texted her back and told her I was going to San Cristobal de las Casas later in the afternoon, but if I get back somewhat early, I would join her at the club. As I was leaving Cristobal de las Casas, I texted her and told her I was on my way; no response.

I gave her the benefit of a doubt and took a chance and went to the club anyway. I arrived there around 9:30. The place was in a very rough part of town. The club was surrounded by high brick walls and had an arch to enter and another to exit. Both arches had solid security in place. I entered the club and it was quite large. I grabbed a shot of tequila and went searching for my future wife; she wasn't there.

I left the place and thought I would grab a taxi on the street. That was before I stepped out of one of the arches and saw what was going on outside; complete chaos! There were two cars on fire, tons of cops, and another two tons of federales. Many federales were on foot with their guns drawn and at the ready position. This made me nervous! I was able to contact the uber driver that dropped me off and he came back to pick me up. At that point, I knew I had enough of that city!

Year end and year out. Decade after decade its ALWAYS good to read about your adventures mi hermano. Do me a solid though and be a little more cautious and / or avoid going into these shaky areas for the time being. I know you got great instincts as in the past you going into shaky areas by yourself and being fine has been the norm for you BUT ever since covid, folks around the world has lost there damn mind and gone nuts more then usual. I'm talking porky pig, wiley coyote, looney tunes for all the world to see on tiktok nuts so watch your six. If something don't feel right immediately step away quick fast and in a hurry.

Anyway keep the adventures coming and be safe fam.

[TomJackin]

Welcome to Tuxtla!

Tuxtla is quite a modern city and anything but conservative. There were not a lot of interesting things to see and do in the city, so I found it rather boring. Part of it was I'm not a lover of nature; too many animals run faster than me. There were a few nice parks, but a park is a park; nothing more. The monger scene was dismal! So for me, 3 nights were a bit too long of a stay.

Why Tuxtla?

I'm still slowly working my way through each state in Mexico.

Note: I flew to Tuxtla out of Tijuana and back only using my passport card. A passport book is not required!

All the money I quote is in pesos, unless you see the dollar sign.

I used CBX from Otay to the Tijuana airport and back. CBX round trip was 49 bucks. CBX prices are seasonal. They have a low season, regular season, and high season. I crossed during the high season.

After clearing immigration at the Tijuana airport, I headed to the VIP lounge. I finally broke down and got the Priority Pass card for 10 visits a year. Yeah, when you crunch the numbers, you are not saving that much money. But, I don't have to mess with my credit card. Returning, there was a VIP lounge on the second floor at the very back of the terminal.

Getting there:

I flew Aeromexico round-trip to Tuxtla. Each way, there was a layover in Mexico City. Beware of layover times at MEX! Make sure you have at least an hour layover between flights at that airport! I can't stress that enough. The airport is a cluster fuck. They have too many planes and not enough gates. With both of my flights going to that airport, we sat on the tarmac for way too much time; adjust accordingly. Personally, I make sure a have at least 90 minutes between flights.

The taxi from the airport cost 380. I took an Uber back to the airport for 357. Traveling each way took around forty minutes.

Getting around town:

I used taxis and Ubers throughout my stay; both were cheap.

Hotel:

I stayed at the Marriot. This was a really nice hotel. I recommend this place. Is it girl friendly? Yes, it was. I met an escort in the lobby one early evening and after showing her ID, we shuffled our asses up to my room.

Communication:

I have the North American T-Mobile plan; no worries.

Restaurants:

I did a lot of research before I left and here are my thoughts on the food scene:

Restaurants:

Las Pichanchas. Good.

Otilia. Outstanding.

Via Gourmet Very good.

El Secreto Decent.

I also ate some great street tacos!

Spanish:

There were a lot of tourists in the city, thus more English was spoken than the other cities I visited in Mexico. But if you ever go, don't count on that. None of the vendors spoke English, as well as most of the taxi drivers.

The mongering scene:

The scene was dismal to say the least, but I will tell you what I found during my romp.

Strip / table dance clubs:

In each club, I asked several questions and did my best to write the answers on my trusty note pad. Thus, if I am wrong with any of my notes, feel free to chime in with the correct information. I wrote down the price of the cheapest beer and the cheapest ficha.

Zona Galactica:

When I was researching Tuxtla before pinche covid, I found out about Zona Galactica. I also found out there were 3-4 clubs in the zona. Those days are long gone and now there is only one club in the zona; Gitaros.

Club: Gitaros.

Cover: None.

Beer: 80.

Ficha: 250.

Sex: Onsite, 4800 for 30 minutes. Off site, 5000 for the club and 5000 for the chica. But for how long? The chica said for many hours (whatever that meant).

Number of chicas: 11.

Quality of chicas: Good to hot.

Night / Time: Friday / Midnight.

Comments: This was a huge club and it was set-up like an arena. One stage in the middle and tons of seats surrounding the stage. I called over a beauty from Nicaragua. She drank her ficha slow so we were able to chat for a bit. For me, I thought the prices were off the hook; thus, I left.

Club: 40 Grados.

Cover: None.

Beer: 80.

Ficha: 250.

Sex: 2000 for 30 minutes.

On site: Yes.

Number of chicas: 10.

Quality of chicas: Good to very good.

Night / Time: Friday /1:15.

Comments: This was a smaller club. As soon as I sat down, I had this chica in my face begging me for a drink and she would not stop. She was the only chica in Latin America that I had to say, "Dejame en paz!" After I said it a couple of times, she finally waddled away.

I talked to several girls in the club and most of them told me they would not go up to the room; WTF? I asked why, but I never got a solid answer. I would say skip this club, but there were only two strip clubs in the city!

Bar / Club: La Diabla.

Ficha: 200.

Sex: Hell no!

Number of chicas: There were 5 hostesses.

Quality of chicas: Okay to kind of more okay.

Night / Time: Friday /2.

Comments: I knew this was not a table dance club, but I went anyway. The hostesses will sit with you, dance with you, and seem to love you, until you stop buying fichas. They all wore red devil horns. When I entered the place, one of the hostesses attacked me from the rear. She was drunk as hell and her speech was slurred. Hell, I have enough trouble with Spanish, but slurred Spanish? I sent her packing and just sat in the back of the club and enjoyed the music.

Club: La Boom.

Comments: I found some information about this place, but for two nights and two different uber drivers, we could not find the damn place!

Club: Cabaret Macabil.

Comments: This club turned out to be over 50 minutes away from Zona Galactica and I did not see any reason to go that far and possibly get disappointed.

Club: Pekar.

Comments: On Saturday night, after trying to locate La Boom (for the second time), I gave up looking for table dance bars. My driver suggested a place with go-go dancers and a band; it was called Pekar. I thought, "Why in the hell not? I already ran out of strip clubs the first night. ".

We arrived around 9:30 and when I was getting out of the car, my driver told security something; not sure what. At that point on, they treated me like a VIP. Once inside, I was greeted by the manager and he gave me a table next to the stage. It was a strange place because there was this huge mix of people; I fit right in! I quickly looked up the club on google and it seemed the club has a wide range of shows. This included drag queen shows.

There was only bottle service or huge buckets of beer available. I went with Don Julio 70. I tried my damnedest to share that bottle with my mesera, other meseros, and the staff and manager. That night, there were 3 chicas dancing at different times and their energy was off the damn hook! After each chica finished dancing, they came to my table. We chatted and drank, and yes, they too, had fichas. The fichas were 200. I was blowing through fichas like a drunken sailor, but I didn't give a damn; I was having fun.

There was this older blonde chica sitting next to her friend and her friend's husband. She was pretty and I wanted to chat with her, but I was being a big pussy. The place was getting packed and I decided to leave (not big on crowds). But before I left, I stopped by and asked her to dance. Lucky for me, it was a slow song. After we danced, she gave me her number and off I went.

Basically, I told you that story in order to tell you this story.

Club: La Palapa de mi Mama.

Comments: The older blonde chica texted me the next early afternoon (Sunday) and invited me to her sister's birthday party at some club. I texted her back and told her I was going to San Cristobal de las Casas later in the afternoon, but if I get back somewhat early, I would join her at the club. As I was leaving Cristobal de las Casas, I texted her and told her I was on my way; no response.

I gave her the benefit of a doubt and took a chance and went to the club anyway. I arrived there around 9:30. The place was in a very rough part of town. The club was surrounded by high brick walls and had an arch to enter and another to exit. Both arches had solid security in place. I entered the club and it was quite large. I grabbed a shot of tequila and went searching for my future wife; she wasn't there.

I left the place and thought I would grab a taxi on the street. That was before I stepped out of one of the arches and saw what was going on outside; complete chaos! There were two cars on fire, tons of cops, and another two tons of federales. Many federales were on foot with their guns drawn and at the ready position. This made me nervous! I was able to contact the uber driver that dropped me off and he came back to pick me up. At that point, I knew I had enough of that city!

Street scene: Did not exist!

Escorts:

On Saturday afternoon, the monger scene seemed hopeless so I called in the troops at Mileroticos. I texted 6 chicas and got 4 replies; I chose the first one that replied. Her price was 1800 for an hour. When she arrived in the hotel lobby, they asked to see her ID, and then we were off to start the wrestling match. She was a beautiful 20 year old from Venezuela and she pushed all the right buttons; it was a very enjoyable hour.

Casas de Chicas:

I was told by 3 different drivers about Casas de Chicas. Two knew of the places, but could not remember the addresses. The driver from the airport wrote this in my trusty note pad: Por la dian cazadova en lo Castillo tielma. I didn't have a fucking clue what he wrote and I failed to follow up on the lead. Thus, I guess there are some casas available in the city.

San Cristobal de las Casas:

For some years now, I've been told I have to go to San Cristobal de las Casas. I was told that from many locals in Mexico as well as many others at my work. So I felt obligated to go visit the place. I grabbed an uber and the cost was $50 each way. Here are my thoughts about the city.

Traffic: Getting there, the traffic was terrible and then once we arrived in the city, the traffic was also terrible! It took 5 minutes to travel 2 blocks within the city; just ridiculous.

Main Square: The church and square were packed with people that seemed to have nothing to do.

Hordes of tourists with nothing to do: Everyone was walking aimlessly back and forth and overloading the sidewalks. They didn't seem to be going anywhere special; just walking around taking space.

Whole place was a swap meet: This included the sidewalks and the main square. Normally, the squares in Mexico are just for people to walk around and enjoy their views without major crowds; but not this one. The entire square was filled with vendors that had all their swap meet crap on the ground. This also included the sidewalks. It was hard to walk on a sidewalk without running into vendors or an aimlessly group of tourists with their heads bouncing around like bubbleheads!

One of their best restaurants: I ate at one of the best Mexican restaurants in town, called El Secreto. The food was average at best; on par with the city!

Final thoughts on San Cristobal de las Casas:

Well, I didn't care for the place as you can tell by my write-up and description. I felt like I wasted 5 hours of my time and during my short trips, my time is valuable. I will not tell you not to go. If you have this city on your list, then follow through and go. This was only my opinion and nothing more.

Final thoughts on Tuxtla:

It was a seeking putas and eating great food trip, but neither one panned-out. The monger scene sucked huge balls and the food was nothing to write home about. On the other hand, I thought most of the city was very safe and I never felt threaten in any manner.

Would I ever return to Tuxtla? No, I still have many cities / states left to explore in Mexico, plus the city was not that impressive. Would I recommend it to other mongers? Hell no! The prices were over the top and the street action did not exist. But, if you love nature stuff, you might enjoy the city and surrounding areas.

Como siempre, Solo mis dos pinche pesos, por supuesto!

Been trying to get out from under my wife's thumb. Finally broke free! Will hope to monger tomorrow afternoon!

Does anyone know if Tamaulipas is open? Web site says it's closed.

How about La Fonda?

Know of any others? I may have to rely on pulmonia drivers!! Arrrgh.

Unless someone can recommend a lovely gal that does in call? Pm me please!

Desperate in Mazatln!

I'm back for a few weeks. Just want to know if things are back to normal as far as mongering is concerned, due to the recent Cartel issues here in Sinaloa? Seems ok to me. May take a spin out to Tampaulitas and check things out later this week. Any comments?
