I am new to the Tijuana scene, but can I know how to take the girls from HK, Adelitas, tropical etc out to other night clubs on revolution for some dancing and nice time. I tried to talk with servers as the girls didn't know, most quoted 150-200 bar fee, is there a way to avoid this.

Ask the chicas out to go clubbing on their day off.

I am new to the Tijuana scene, but can I know how to take the girls from HK, Adelitas, tropical etc out to other night clubs on revolution for some dancing and nice time. I tried to talk with servers as the girls didn't know, most quoted 150-200 bar fee, is there a way to avoid this. The girls at least I talked to seem to be interested to go out as most of them are not from Tijuana themselves and haven't experienced going out themselves, most of them seem to be making little money anyways, they said they make 2 $ on the drinks, I tried to reason with them that I would pay the drink amount to them directly instead of buying them drinks to sit with me, but they were afraid that the manager / server would scold them, I just realized how ridiculous it it to tip 1 $ to the server when he brings the drinks. Of my few trips, I had one girl from HK who hanged out with me at a different club, she was with me from 3 am and when she was finishing her shift at 4 she was down to go out with me, we had little options to go to so ended up at La Malquerida after she changed at her house near by. After that I haven't had any luck, the reason I want to pull a girl from here, is I have a weak club game to pickup girls at the night clubs and I don't want to be the guy standing at the edge of the dance floor alone.

You need to find a girl not in HK or Adelitas. Find one who worked day shift so she's off at 11. Basically ask 30 girls. Do your rounds, Chicago is best for this. Explain ahead of time financial expectations. Friday Saturday nights will be only nights to expect it to work. Understand the girl will always bring another female friend who you also need to pay drinks for. But its doable and honestly yeah the dance clubs with a working girl are fun even without sex. Even buying 12 beers for her and a GF won't be much money. Like 25 bucks.

1) Do you speak Spanish?

2) Do you know where you're going?

The taxi guy spoke enough English to demand money bbn or drop me off middle no where. He had the address on Google map before we left. He just wanted more money. Scam. No problem. Now I walk by them and take the 10 peso bus to revolucion. Maybe 100 bus trips later that's a lot money the taxis lost from me. Plus they drive like lunatic. Going to hk it's not as bad due to traffic short ride. Going to las playas with a driver acting like he's in a race for his life. No thanks. Mexican hospital is not free to tourists.

I think it's a fair generalization. Sure you can find some good customer service and product quality in Tijuana, but overall service and quality are uniformly better in the US, and likewise customer service and product quality are better in, say, Japan than in the US (and worse in India than in Mexico). These are generalizations of course, so numerous exceptions can be found.

The thing is that investing in "customer service" as a good business practice is a foreign concept in a lot of countries and Mexico is one of them. I travel to Asian countries often because of relatives and it's the same thing to a certain extent. Again, like you said it's not as if good service doesn't exist, but it's not really a focus in the culture compared to the US and Japan which take it very seriously.

Hell, in the US there's a completely new school of thought created in the last decade called "design thinking" to methodically understand what customers want. That's why we got UBER beating up the crappy taxi industry in Tijuana. It's a better service.

My first time to las playas cab drove like lunatic then wanted another 3 bucks or be dropped off 6 blocks from where I was going. My last taxi in mexico. In mexico, its different business model approach than american business. Its "get every penny you can from customer today no matter how angry you make them". The lost business tomorrow doesn't matter to them apparently. Its same everywhere in Tijuana. Just different attitude towards customer.

I have no love for the taxistas, but this is simply a breathtakingly ignorant statement. Have you considered just staying home?

Uber all the way. HK limo is also great. I see other guys doing AB shuttle. Walking it is cool too and generally isn't dangerous at all unless you are going alone past midnight. I have walked there late at night multiple times with no problems. Never ever, ever give into taxis. They can get rude and demanding as we are all reading. These guys are getting greedier and greedier because their standard of living is improving by overcharging gringos. If they can't be flexible then don't give in. The fact they even physically attacked Uber drivers in past years is just embarrassing.

[ChinaMan360]

Can confirm, uber is better than any cab. It's half the price and you know the exact amount in advance.

I want to. Only problem is I don't want to use my phone data in mexico. I think uber app needs WiFi or data to work I think. Haven't tried it yet. Getting tired of fighting with all these sour puss cab drivers.

Take uber, I was there Friday. I got to pedwest before 10 pm took uber from el Chaparral to zona norte dor 32 peso then at 215 am I took an uber from Chicago club to el chaparral for 72 pesos.

Went down Friday. I got kicked out of a cab because he wanted 8 dollars LOL and then any other cab wouldn't take me for 5 dollars because they wanted 6, saying it's now Friday prices. Cab drivers have been pissing me off the last 3 trips with one making a huge scene when I wouldn't give him 10 dollars. Might start just walking to the zona which I've done before.

The SW were looking really fine tonight and I took one up for 350 pesos. This was my first time with a SW and the sex was good for the price. Worth it. I will do this more often especially since HK getting more pricier and girls were OK looking tonight.

I walked around a bit and chatted with random strangers and chilled at Adelitas. Finished off the night with one more lay for 80 at HK with a hottie sitting by herself.

It was an OK trip. Usually I don't like going to the Zona on Fridays but it wasaint packed at all this Friday. Won't be going back for a while due to starting my PhD.

Correct the cab drivers are a real pain in the ass in Tijuana, especially at night.

Friday is the worst day of the week to get around in Tijuana. Saturday is second worst. Taxi drivers also want extra when it's raining. So Friday premium plus rain premium. Either walk or take Uber or Zona Shuttle or a ruta van. Taxistas are the absolute last option.
