Next time you cross in sentri they very likely will fine you 5 k. And it needs to be paid on the spot.

Thanks for the heads up. They actually said I get 2 free ones. That's why I'm here asking, because I don't understand where you need to go in order to enter the que for normal re-entry. Is it easier to just drive to Otay?

The last time I went to Tijuana I left my hotel at 2:00 PM and I could not find the border line. I left from La Mansion and every sign that I followed took me in circles around the city. Every time I would get close to what looked like a border line, the police would direct me away. Google maps / car navigation was no help. Eventually I just crossed through the sentry line because I honestly could not figure out how to drive across the proper way. I always stay at La Mansion. Can someone explain how to get into the automobile crossing line when it is busy? Is it easier to navigate to the Otay Crossing?

Well I'd say it's more than "some". There are many hella good restaurants, bars, breweries, etc. Of solid (or even outstanding in some cases) quality at excellent pricing that alone makes it worth visiting Tijuana occasionally. And it's not like it's just food, drinks, and pussy that's cheap. If you find the right spots there are other services such dental, cosmetic, auto, etc. Services that are quality at a fraction of the price that you'll find in the USA Wouldn't want to live there like some do but IMO Tijuana does have several redeeming qualities outside of the clubs. I've grown fond of the city personally even outside of Zona Norte.

I also concur with that.

Some of Tijuana's restaurants are indeed excellent. Those from the placencia group are always a hit. And many others. I eat very well there. And some bars have excellent mixology that would rival anything here in the states.

But still, those are pearls among swine. The city is ugly and poorly planned. The people are often miserable and contemptuous of their richer and more entitled neighbors to the north (with good reason often). While some areas are safe, smart people will not walk between safe areas a mile away due to legitimate safety issues. The police are corrupt. The poverty is not third world but it's not first world either and when it's bad it's really bad (like shanty towns).

I'm not saying Tijuana has nothing going for it. It does and I go there often. I'm saying that as a resident it would suck. It's good for norteños like us to come and do our thing and leave. But for people who make it a home, it's just an awful place.

I concur.

I say this as someone who goes to Tijuana on the regular. It's an awful city with few redeeming qualities except it's proximity to the US and readily available access to poontang that costs half as much as 1 mile to the north. Yes it has some good restaurants and bars but it is largely a cultural wasteland and a existential threat to the humanity and dignity of its inhabitants, most of whom would live elsewhere if given the choice and opportunity.

I think it is best to figure you what you are looking for before you go. If you are mongering it is difficult to beat Tijuana because everything is laid out for you in one central location. If you can get away from the mongering mindset then just about every major city in Mexico beats Tijuana and by the time you return, you will say to yourself that Tijuana is kind of fucking ugly compared to the rest of Mexico.

I concur.

Hey all, long time member but not active much lately as I took a brief hiatus from all of this. Then when I came back in the game, I was solely going to Tijuana because it was easy and a sure thing. I have been there more times than I can remember which isn't an easy task coming from the Midwest.

I have some time (a week next month and while I was ready to book Tijuana as usual) I thought. Maybe it is time to explore elsewhere. I really love the set up in Tijuana, I know the city very well and I maximize my experience with SA, Civvies and of course I still LOVE the club scene.

I speak pretty good Spanish (nearly fluent at this point) so I feel I can and should explore outside of my bubble. I haven't before because I LOVE Tijuana and the atmosphere of the Zona. It's a sure hit every time. But lately the prices and just BS watered down experience has me seeking a place that may still have something like HK used to be 10 years ago. Maybe it doesn't exist, but a change of scenery might help either strike gold or appreciate Tijuana that much more.

So I have narrowed it down to the following after RTFF:.

I would go to Mexico city. It will be interesting enough that you won't be needing constant woman like Tijuana. If all you do is go to Tijuana eventually Tijuana can be like walking from your living room to the bathroom in your house. Nothing seems interesting or noticeably anymore.

I agree that is why I am having this thought. I figure worst case, if things aren't to my liking I can grab a cheap flight to Tijuana and finish things off there.

I will check SA. But as mentioned I am a Strip Club guy. Any must go to out there? I am sure nothing like HK, but anything even remotely close or even more laid back will do.

Thanks!

So I have narrowed it down to the following after RTFF:

1. CDMX. Easy to get to, Cheap, great food, lots to do, plenty of SA and Escort options.

2. Guadalajara. Easy to get to, Cheap, great food, plenty of SA and Escort options.

3. Monterrey (and piggy backing Saltillo Coahuila) - Easy to get to, Cheap, seems not as "touristy" as the other 2 as well as Tijuana. So might get cheaper and raunchier options. Regarding Saltillo, based on a TR from Tom Jackin! Sounds like the Clubs there are what I am trying to find!

Initially, I was thinking Medellin, but the distance and time traveling is just not how I want to spend the week. Now I am leaning toward #3 but wanted to get insight from anyone that might be familiar with all 3 and what you recommend. Of course, if Tijuana is superior in every way and should just stick to that. I haven't ruled that out either.

Already got SA chicas contacted in each so I am sure that will be an option, but I really want a place with the best club scene as well. Just like that atmosphere.

Thanks in advance for tips and suggestions! I'll make sure to provide a great report while out there.

I heard reports of guys shooting their 9 inches into babes in HK so be careful to not let other guys have all the fun.

More like5 inches and a lot of ego LOL!

[Turgid]

I heard the report of a 9 mm gun shot today in the Callejon at about 11 am. I confirmed this with 2 other guys that were working the door of HK. So be careful and hit the deck if the cartels start shooting around you LOL.

How about awarding the "Congressional Medal of On-Her and Off-Her and back On-Her Again"?
