General Reports

For those of you who liked the way Las Chavelas used to be, you may like going to La Cueva del Peludo. It's located on Diaz Ordaz, past the dog track. We took a red collectivo from LVZ and it was something like 25 pesos for two. Sweet. But they offer border pickup and have a nice web site. Google it and it'll come right up.

Anyway, they have a long bar where loads of the chicas sit and wait for you to pick them up. A large dance floor where they alternate strip shows with $1-a-dance dancing. Beers are 17 pesos each (equivalent to the zona's 2x1 offers, but you don't have to buy 2). Ficha drinks are 85 pesos, don't know what arribas are, but Rocky speculated they were equivalent to the zona. I suspect they'll be cheaper than the silly $80 being bandied about HK these days.

We got there around 9, IIRC, and the place was jumping. Had to wait quite a while for a table. As far as I could tell, zero gringos (except for one). The girls ranged from young to mature, from more "local" tastes to a couple of knockouts. I think there is something for everybody. It had a much more laid back attitude than the zona bars, no hustle by the meseros and, interestingly, the chicas didn't demand a tip when they sat on your lap and allowed a quick grope. I did anyway, but it certainly didn't appear to be mandatory. Except for the heavy smoke, it was an interesting place to hang.

Nice report. Met a girl in AB two weeks ago and she stated that she used to work out of the Otay Mesa area. I was surprised since I thought only the Zona had these clubs. I was a bit curious and wondered if anyone else has been there. Next time by buddy and I cross from there we will check that out before heading over to the Zona. Sounds like it could be fun.

I hit town Saturday. Rocky the Flying Squirrel and I hit a few places I'd never been, so I thought I'd share.

First, I came without reservations. And learned the hard way that none of the nice short-time hotels will let you rent overnight. At least not until rather late. An exception is Motel Otay, but you have to pay in cash, no credit card. I needed to conserve my cash, so that was out. We wound up at the Villa de Zaragoza, $60 was the walk-in rate. It's OK but certainly not great. But it was quiet and clean.

Next we took the collectivo back and went to La Malquerida, a place she likes to hang out with her friends. Half a cubeta later and it was time to move on.

She really wanted to hit El Premier. OK. It's near the SW corner of Coahuila and Revolucion, near La Tropa (which looks like they've done a remodel). Anyway, it's a gay bar and they wanted a 100p cover for men and 30p for women. Grrr.

It has a rather long, skinny stage in the middle of the place and it's populated by some seriously studly male dancers. Several of the guys looked like they stepped out of some magazine. They did nothing for me, but Rocky was thrilled. We ordered a half a cubeta, I broke a $10 bill and handed her the singles. Then we started waving the dancers down to give her lap dances. I will say that the girls get a helluva lot more action in their $1 lap dances than we guys get from tipping the HK chicas $1. Dayum. There were a few ladies in there, enjoying the scenery, a few fag hags and loads of guys. I entertained myself by watching the two guys across from us kiss. The couple next to us (guy and girl) kept buying lap dances for the guy. Interesting bunch. Not a place I'd hang out, but Rocky really enjoyed it.

That's it for now.

I believe it was in the streetwalker thread it was mentioned that crime was up. Last time I was there, about 9 months ago the people were very gracious and said things like "thank you

Senior gringo for visiting". They were all very nice. I do try to be careful, not be stupid, don't get lost and roam the alleys and am generally out of there before dark.

[GolfSexRroll]

I am used to the scare tactics used in San Diego to keep people from going to Tijuana. I have read in another thread that the street crime against gringos is up? I have never experienced any problems in Tijuana and don't want my luck to run out. I am planning on heading down there next Wednesday afternoon around 4:00pm and will be gone well before dark. My plan is to take a cab directly to Adelitas and likely not wander around anywhere this time to be safe. Taxi back to the line. Is it worse than usual and would I expect any problems?

I live in San Diego. I have been going to Tijuana for years. I too know the bullshit the scared / racist people are in San Diego. Not all but a lot. Good. Keep them out! As for crime- I have not seen any from the locals. I have seen what the CRIMINAL policia can do though!

I am at the airport in NYC heading down to Tijuana for a few weeks. Dealing with herniated discs but my spirits are up!

[ThrowAway3602]

Hey there guys,

Looking forward to taking another trip to Tijuana. This time I'd like to fulfill a fantasy of a 3some. Are there any girls that are great for a 3some? I had one once here in the states, and the girls were completely separate. No kissing, no interaction besides some titty grabbing, and it was just so sterile and fake feeling. Looking for two girls, whether its escorts, street girls, or some girls in HK / Adelita that actually enjoy playing with each other. I was thinking of trying to make an offer to two girls doing a shaving cream show, but they always get snagged up so quick after the show.

[Batuk]

Hugo many thanks for the inputs. Will keep this in mind. I was in OC and just couldn't resist going to Tijuana. Started around 930 and crossed the border around 11 am. My favorita was not working. Checked in at Adelitas. The talent was kinda sketchy. May be one of those days. Well had to do someone. Finally made up my mind. Little oldef but great attitude, coupld of beers and a tequila shot. Went arriba. Good action CBJ, cg rcg, doggy and finish in mish. 60 $ well spent back to border by 1. All good.

Normally, all of the big clubs use the 12 to 1 conversation rate, HK and AB included. In the last few months, I was always able to get at least 12. 60 to 13. 10 at the camibos, and even higher at times at the ATMs in Tijuana. Thus pesos was always the best way to go, at least for me; I always had the edge.

Oh, no doubt! If they're still using 12:1 then it's a no-brainer. I figured they were up with most places that were using 12. 5:1.

I have used the 10p coins before. I still have no idea where she put them.

On a separate note I have been meeting this chica from Sonora couple of times at Adelita and we have had some good times together, GFE action. She suggested that next time she wanted to me meet me at some La Mansion Motel outside the zona. She has her own car. Is this a sign of red flag? I am a bit confused. In all my visits so far I have been on the beaten path and never ventured out. Your thoughts and comments are very welcome!

Gracias!

I don't think you have anything to worry about, La Mansion is a great choice on her part. It is located on Via Rapido in the Zona Rio area. Since you did mention spending time in Zona Rio it is located next to the Holiday Inn if you remember seeing that. So if your in her car and she starts driving you into some seedy area away from zona Rio then you might begin to worry. As far as the hotel it is a Love Motel, if you are there during the week it will cost you about $27 for 4 hours if you can spend the night with her take her to dinner and make sure to roll in after about 8:30 pm and you will be able to stay all night for the same price. Its not the kind of place where you would have to worry about her taking you back to a room where she has some dude inside waiting to jump you. The advantage to having her drive you there is you won't have to leave your I'd at the office they will just write her plate number down.

You will find the rooms to be very nice. Nicer than most rooms that I have stayed at in the USA. The room does have a DVD player so one thing I do is bring along a movie. Just make sure it has sub titles in Espanol so you both can enjoy it. This allows me to enjoy 2 pop afternoons. Sexo watch movie and recharge and sexo before your time is up, use all 4 hours. You also can have food delivered to your room and due to this lazy susan contraption you won't even have to get dressed when your food is delivered. However the food is not that good. Also another thing to be aware of, there are not in & out privileges.

The exchange rate at the trolley stop cambios are about the best in the area and are higher than the ones in Mexico. The ones at Otay have much less competition and are generally slightly about that in Mexico.

Whether or not it's worth the effort depends on what you're doing. The main bars (HK, AB, CC, etc.) all keep a very close eye on the exchange rate and you'll save nothing by using pesos in these establishments. The exception is if the peso takes a quick nose dive and you've visiting Tijuana that day. You might, but usually won't, save money at the hotels.

Where you save money is with the girls or doing things out of the Zona. Generally every place in Tijuana accepts dollars but most give a less than favorable exchange rate. So, you'll save money at many local restaurants, bars, taco stands, etc, etc.

I can agree with you on some points, but not all. Yes the camibos at the trolley stops seem to always have the best exchange rate, especially that last small store before you hit the trek from hell into Tijuana.

Because I'm there almost every weekend, the only thing I don't use pesos for are the dollar bills that I tip the hotties for a cheap feel in HK. I tried using a ten peso coin, but was never brave enough to try to insert the coin in one of their slots.

Normally, all of the big clubs use the 12 to 1 conversation rate, HK and AB included. In the last few months, I was always able to get at least 12. 60 to 13. 10 at the camibos, and even higher at times at the ATMs in Tijuana. Thus pesos was always the best way to go, at least for me; I always had the edge.

On the other hand, for the occasionally traveler to Tijuana, I would agree that exchanging into pesos would be more trouble than good. And for the poor married dudes, it is a question of what to do with the leftover pesos. It's no wonder why I'm single; fuck those worries!

For me, pesos rule all the way!

[Spinneritas]

This girl certainly sounds like Adriana. Would you or other fellows like to confirm with us?

Thanks,

KS

I posted seperate reports of both an Adriana and a Carina (Karina?) , with physical descriptions, within the last month in the StreetWalker forum. Sounds like the Adriana that I met. I've never seen her again; She was the best paradita that I've had so far.

[Batuk]

Yes I hate to genaralize and the girls you deal with on a regular basis seem to be on top of things when it comes to money. However my findings and experience with dealing with SG's has taught me that while they are not idiots, on the whole they are pretty much uneducated. But it doesn't take them long to learn the art of the upsell. Back in the old days I would have not bothered negotiating in pesos. But after following the advice of my mentor (the author of Tijuana street girls) my last 2 negotiations went like this.

Me: yo quiero solo blow job.

Sg: $20

Me: no thank you es solo blow job.

SG: ok $15

Me: es ok 100 pesos.

SG: ok les go.

I know that sounds pretty cheap, it comes out to about 8 dollars. However if the service is good I will tio.

Sr members,

Your inputs are much appreciated! My expertise in Tijuana is only limited to the Zona Rio so probably I will stick with Dlls! My Spanish being rudimentary to nothing, I don't do the SGs.

Good Points.

What he can do to save himself aggravation and the risk of getting cheated is to bring lots of change : 5's 1's and 10's.

Go to your bank before you come down.

The start of my Tijuana adventure ritual is always a stop at my SDCCU for $100 in ones and $200 in fives. They come in a nice envelope, left pocket has the ones and right has the fives. I have learned the value of exact change, half the battle in avoiding getting ripped off is ensuring I'm not handing someone a twenty and watching them try to figure out how to keep all of it.

I do get some unusual looks and comments from the bank,"Are you holding a garage sale?" If they only knew.

[Kitty Seeker]

Went to walk around the block and as I walked through the gauntlet of food stands I came across the very aggressive skinny chick with a very nice ass. She may have been about 5'4 and early to mid 20's dark hair just past shoulders, braces and spoke English very well. I tried to get a way from her at first but she kept holding on to me and pushing he nice ass in to my boner that I eventually gave in to her.

This girl certainly sounds like Adriana. Would you or other fellows like to confirm with us?

Thanks,
