It's called El Chaparral for those guys who know it all:

Yes the Captain makes a valid point. Do not forget to mention the EL or you could end up at LA Chaparal.

No need to take a taxi back and forth to the border. HK now has a shuttle service for VIP card holders. Just go to the valet station and ask for the shuttle. Once when the shuttle took a long time to arrive, one of the valets took my VIP card and got authorization for HK Club to pay for a taxi for me. Tip the drivers and enjoy the ride!

Thank you so much for your amazingly concise help! Good advice on the membership too.

Chaparel is the name of the new crossing?

Yes also known as ped west. But south of the border better to refer to it as Chaparel.

I guess it is good that you are paronoid. It well just make you more alert. But you should have no worries. Best bet is enter by foot and long as you enter before 10 p. M use ped west. The entrance is located just east of the outlet mall. You will need a passport or passport card to enter Mexico. You will most likely have to fill out paperwork that won't take long. The main thing they want to know is where you are going (Tijuana is the correct answer) and that you will be staying less than 7 days. If you are not comfortable telling them you are going to the clubs, just say you are going to the casino (Caliente) to bet on sports. Once you exit into Mexico straight ahead to the driveway and to your right you will see cabs. Tell the driver $5 to Hong Kong. If he says $6 tell him to fuck off and wait for another taxi. Once you get to Hk welcome to disneyland. And you will be fine paying in dollars and you will also be fine with no spanish. You will also be able to safely walk out the rear of HK and the alley will have a nice selection of SG's if you are on a budget. When you have had enough you will have no problem locating a taxi. And once again don't ask how much tell them what you will pay. $5 is a generous offer. Tell them you want to go to La linea Chaparel. Just remember to say Chaparel or you could end up at an unfamiliar location.

Now I'm sure there are fellas on here that would be happy to meet up and show you around on your maiden voyage. However unless you pay the membership fee nobody can PM you to make those arrangements.

Thank you for the detailed information.

Stupid me, I knew there was all this construction and a new pedestrian crossing, but for some reason it never fully registered in my mind that there was a new ped west entrance near the outlet malls. On a trip last month I used the old ped east as me and my mate parked right there in the lot across from Jack in the Box.

Next trip I might just use ped west instead, maybe park at that Border parking immediately to your right as you exit the I-5 to the border. I don't know if there's any long term parking for border crossing at the mall though. And I have to be careful to tell the taxi driver where to drop me off. Someone on another website suggested telling the taxi driver Plaza Viva Tijuana or central de autobuses de la linea.

I am a long time lurker, and I know that I will likely be told to RTFF (which I have back and forth). I want to go to Hong Kong, but I am solo first time to Tijuana (I speak a little Spanish). Is it possible to get border-to-door service easily or, conversely, are there operating reliable guides who can get you to the club in one piece. I'm a little paranoid because I have never been to Tijuana. Sorry if this is such a newbie question.

German weapons company "Heckler & Koch" is accused of illegal weapons traffic to Mexico (9,472 pieces of G-36 rifles) - here is the link http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/englis...weapons-mexico.

Ignoring the personal attacks, but.

Lost in this argument over what could or could not be true is the lack of any real police work in Tijuana. Be it corruption or overworked, take a look at how many murders go unsolved. If murders go unsolved at a 95% clip, how much time do you think they invest in a home invasion? Consequently, there is not a lot of fear or deterrence in the criminal's mind. Add in the corruption, and this situation is more than plausible.

You are right Larry David.

That post was kind of fishy. It is usually the other way around. The senior members know the Captains posts are filled with fiction. And the newb's believe every word.

So your first post on a mongering forum is to call a senior member a liar because you don't like what he posted? Hmmm. Smells like you already have an account but don't want to use it to attack the captain. Or perhaps you already attack him and you are trying to create the impression that there are others who have a hard on for him, too.

Now, I have never met, spoken to, nor messaged with captain solo, but I do read the Tijuana forum and he provides good information.

This is my only account and yes, it was my first post. I've been lurking a while and while Solo does offer some good advice, he also is a know it all who states a lot of things like they are facts.

I think the only person with multiple accounts on here is Solo himself. I saw one post of his where it listed his other handles.

Good handle by the way. Larry David. Like it.

In the movie the Hangover part III, there is a scene where a mansion is robbed. The mansion is supposed to be located in Tijuana, but they actually filmed the scene in Nogales I think.

Anyway, the Tijuana mansion is robbed when the owner is not home. They rob a bunch of gold from a vault and they kill the owner's dogs too.

It sounds a lot like the scene from Hangover III. In a two hour window in broad daylight, somebody had enough time to clear out an entire mansion and kill dogs? An owner who has a mansion and vicious attack dogs in Tijuana doesn't have a security camera too? The robbers knew they would be gone for two full hours when they left? The robbers didn't wait for the owners to go on vacation before cleaning out the house?
