So I was planning on making my way down to Tijuana again later next month, since I have some time off from work. I live in SoCal, so I enjoy Tijuana for the convenience; however, I am contemplating whether or not I should try other destinations? Medellin comes to mind. I have skimmed through that forum, but to all of the gents that have made it out to there as well, how does it compare to the offerings at Tijuana? I know that prices in Medellin are cheaper, but is there enough quality to justify the hassle of flying there and back vs just hopping across the border? Thanks!

I've been to Tijuana many times and also made my way to MDE last year. Keep in mind I come from the East coast and both are a haul for me. MDE was a great time but I probably won't be rushing to go back. The pros for me was that the city was way nicer than Tijuana. Overall quality of girls was better, was cheaper since airline points got me there (JetBlue has good cash deals when I was looking fwiw). However there was a lot more of a hunt. The casas are spread out, it's said to be dangerous where the SGs are and I stick out from the crowd so avoided that, and so a lot of my time was spent online or going between casas. The strip clubs were good but the higher end price wise.

Overall I think I prefer the convenience of all the different bars in one area in Tijuana with the option of all the escort sites right at my fingertips. Just my. 02.

MDE is great the first time. Go for one week and do a few tourist attractions like visiting Pablo Escobar's grave. Personally I wasn't crazy about the city itself but the people are nice and the music is funky. Good deals on chicas, booze and drugs. If those in abundance on the cheap are worth your effort then YES go.

You may want to try the German FKKs. I've visited these establishments 25+ times so kind of bored with them but my first couple trips were amazing I couldn't believe such a place existed. But I prefer white girls to Latina and I know most here are into Latina ladies.

The Tall Man is well positioned to give you the rundown, as I've seen some posts from him even on the Mexico threads that reference Medellin. Not sure about your economic situation, but flight costs and expenses associated with traveling that far may wipe out any savings in sessions. Of course, there is also the lost time in travel and I am one who dreads any flight over 3 hours.

Hey guys,

I might be heading down south in about a month or so. And while I'm there I would like to see an optometrist and get a prescription for contacts. Would anybody have any recommendation on where to go? Thanks.

Costco is probably the least expensive because if you buy your lenses there the exam is free. The downside is you'll have to schedule the exam, walk-ins are very difficult because they tend to be busy. You can call and make an appointment. A month lead time should be sufficient.

You're best bet would be to go to one of the eyeglass stores in Plaza Rio an upscale shopping mall.

I can't make it down to Tijuana for another week or two so I thought it would be fun to connect up on the San Diego side with other fellow Tijuana Red Light District fans. If interested there is a great taco place called Carnitas Las Michoacanas at University Ave we could connect up at for a bite. (or other place if wanted.) (I knew this place was good when they spoke very little English!

Anyone up for it?

[Goyo61]

LOL. Phord.

Great perspective of the past history. I would have loved to have seen SG's in the non-paved street back in the day. Part of the charm of the place is just that it is a little rough around the edges. If the place looked like Fashion Valley in San Diego I would Hate it!

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, it was a lot more like an alley. It wasn't paved and the whole area was a lot grubbier. Yes, it's hard to believe. Then the powers that be came along and paved it, and added street lights, and tried to civilize the place.

Was in Tijuana on a rainy Thursday night. Low on cash just wanted a couple drinks and to bang a SG. It's been awhile since been with a SG forgot how bad they can be. Negotiated 30 min sin ropa with CBJ for 500 and when we were in the room she clarified it would be 1000 for 30 min. Said no thanks and banged her hard for 10 min. An absolute dud. I got a little sweaty and used her hair to dry my brow off as she was purposely trying to give the lamest session possible. Had a couple drinks in Chicago and Tropical not much going on because of rain but I did see a real hottie in CC "Mary" she was in the jacuzzi spinner with a great ass and pretty face. I'm intrigued and might come back soon to try and meet her.

As many already know but just to mention in case anyone has not been. Above the alley is the restaurant Azul's overlooking the alley. It is a Great place to watch the action on the street in relative safety of the restaurant.

Have done it many times and wasn't aware of the place until we did a Red Light District tour with a guy who took us up there to talk about the history of Zona Norte and other aspects that were a bit fascinating.

After arriba session with one of the girls I asked if we could share a drink / bite up there and she could help me with my Spanish which she agreed to with a little tip. It's right next to hotel Cascadas so the location is primo.

Yeah, azul is great, the food not so much, but the staff are nice, and the salsa is good.

I stop by a few times a trip, to grab a drink or food, definitely some interesting sights to be seen from above that balcony. I was in Tijuana last Tuesday / Wednesday and had a nice breakfast in the morning, chatted up with a masero and two other mongers for about a hour.

The "Alley" in Tijuana is not an actual alley, but it is the back street of Calle Coahuila. Calle Coahuila being the main street, the alley is the street directly behind it, HKs backdoor leads to it.

Definitely a good idea to avoid any sort of alley in Tijuana.

[Member #4722]

The first time I went to HK I was looking all around for this "alley" everyone was talking about. There weren't many girls hanging around because of weather and I was very confused haha.

[Phordphan]

I agree that this is not really an alley like we think of it. There are store fronts and room for cars and it's no different from many other streets. But it is literally named Callejn Coahuila, and callejn is best translated as "alley".
