A friend of mine went to La Zona via taxi today and said the cab had to take detours due to a major gun fight that happend today. Any news?

[Sock111]

Not that hard, there are 3 on Revolucion.

Azteca (at 2nd St upstairs)

Namaste (new across from Burger King)

Viva Mex Day Spa (Google for location)

You just have to ask if they can do deep tissue, each tech is different so you never really know till you try. Deep tissue should run from $30 to $50 per hour and less for regular massage. All are non-sexual.

I have been to Azteca. Great place for a massage, $25 for an hour. They also let you shower, before or after, your choice. Totally a professional place, don't ask for a happy ending.

When you get there the lobby might feel like a sauna, but don't let that dissuade you, the rooms they massage you in have window AC's. They lady I got definitely did deep tissue. I felt like the flesh under my skin was bruised. I had to tell her to ease up a bit.

[SuperSteve]

Viva Mex is on Ave. Revo between Calle 3 & 4, next to Hotel Espana, and across from Caliente Casino.

My only time there, the massage was adequate. I think that you could ask for more pressure, I chose medium. There was no teasing the boys, nor HE. I want to say I think that we paid about $25 for the hour, after a short negotiation.

Health & happiness to all.

It's amazing that it's hard to get a real massage but rub and tugs are like McDonalds.

I Think I am heading down this Thursday probably late afternoon and stay until 8 or 9 PM. Have not been down since Mid January and this trip I would like to get a real and legit deep tissue sports massage before heading for the zona. Any recommendations for where to get a good sports massage by someone that understands what areas to work in the legs and gluts for someone that does allot of running and cycling?

I tried to find something like that, I asked the front desk and they said they didn't know a single real massage place in Tijuana. I saw a posting on backpage I think from someone that looked legit but didn't want to try it. It's amazing that it's hard to get a real massage but rub and tugs are like McDonalds.

I decided to do Mexico city and guadalajara together in September. Ticket prices are up and my lower back is weak. To be continued.

I just want to share info on restaurant "Rodeo" Blvd. Salinas No. 1647-2 011 52 664 6865640.

www.restauranteelrodeo.com

This is a mexican grill house. You order what kind of meat you want. Meantime they bring out appetizers until the meat is ready. They have a REALLY good potato salad with pickled vegetables and the best tortillas IMHO in Tijuana. They come out like the pancakes Chinese use for peking duck.

I chose the mesquite chicken breast served over coals in front of you.

I spent $27 including tip on a great meal.

* From revolucion go to ave madero (one block down) on calle 4 and hop a red and black ruta taxi heading towards 5 Y 10. It is next door to an * auto zone.

[Don Smith 10]

I think I gringo'd it there so not sure actual prices. It's 40 for 1 hour and then negotiate with girls which all seemed to start at 120. I paid 60, but I think you can even negotiate room price as I heard to locals trying to get 2 for 1 when I was walking out of maria something or other which supposedly is opperated by the same owner and the girls are shared because they are only about 2 blocks apart. Nice part is I walked from New Body to Ticuan no matter what time it was, it was so close I never felt uncomfortable.

You can print out coupon for an hour $25 from their website.

Also if you don't like all the chicas over there, tell to the manager.

She will bring more chicas from other location.

Assuming you don't buy any fichas how much does it cost to get laid there, including the room? BTW for those of you who are not familiar with New Body, it's not in the Zona.

New Body at first was my diamond in the rough and then it turned into a hell hole. It has a great feel to it, relaxed totally like Zona Blue in Costa Rica I thought I was in heaven. Then when night time rolled around it got worst than HK with ficha rip offs. Fichas are what makes Tijuana worst than Costa Rica. I was able to narrow it down to one specific thing and it is definetely fichas. They are about 1$ more at New Body and they're just water the girls don't drink beer so they slam them down like even I couldn't do and they are pissing in the bathroom most the time because of all the drinking. It's such a scummy scammy thing and makes absolutely no sense because they would make the same if they just had a busy bar selling drinks to all for normal prices and then you negotiate with the girl for other stuff. I'm not ficha proofed yet and I screwed up big and got a huge bill I was not expecting and I was not happy to say the least. I will never use my credit card again that is for sure.

I think with a little work you could have a bunch of girls lined up and cut out the middle men, I think HK is the only club you can't directly pull a girl out and bring her back to your hotel.

IMO, there is really no right, nor wrong, in mongering. There are just different ways about getting your personal desires met. Make that your number one priority, becuase virtually nothing in the mongering game is impossible in Tijuana, for the right amount of money.

Health & happiness to all.

Amen my brother! Couldn't agree with you more. Do what makes you happy down there and as long as YOU are having fun, thats all that matters. Be safe and have a fun time!

[Phordphan]

Yeah but who goes to strip clubs in Costa Rica? Del Rey or HLH or Beatle bar. They all just serve drinks at normal prices and are happy making money with very successful bars. I mean how many bars do you know that always have a couple guys drinking at 9AM? I had fun in Tijuana, I just kind of kick myself because for what I spent I would've had way more fun in Costa Rica. I went into less high pressure places but did not like the talent. Also New Body isn't really high pressure I just let myself go a little and probably was with the wrong girl. Still I've say down with girls at Del Rey for like an hour over a drink or two at normal prices and then sessioned or told girls I didn't want to session but if they were hungry I'd buy dinner and we grabbed a bite. Like to me that seems like a better way. These places are a lot more like the strip clubs in Costa Rica which I have been in, but never go back because of exit fees. I think having an apartment in Tijuana would be great because you could set yourself up a little GF to take care of things, things being you. I still think the potential for a normal GF there is very very high, and think using HK and places like that as self esteem boosts would make it a very good place. To me I love the idea of going out on a date with a girl and if I don't get anything going to Del Rey and just screwing some hot columbian or something like that. It makes for the perfect scenario, and I think not often enough to guys take advantage of it. In my observations you can pick up a girl 2 notches higher than you could normally pick up a girl in a latin country. I'm sure I will be back in Tijuana again.

Agreed. It's just that to maintain an apples-to-apples comparison, you have to compare CR strip joints to HK, or similar clubs.

I much prefer a place like Beatle Bar, where it's low pressure and fun. Unfortunately, Tijuana doesn't really have any place like that. Las Chavelas, before the remodel, maybe a bit.

[SuperSteve]

I went to strip clubs in CR! If you haven't tried out Le Grillion, it is a good club that has many Nica's that give honest sessions. It is about $32. 00 for 20-30 minutes, but some of the worst rooms I have been in. Now the Boyd is in charge at HLH, it is gaining some of its former glory. I have never been a fan of HDR, except in the day to find the true student trying to make a few bucks. I enjoy dancing, so Key Largo has always been nice. I will say that I have not been back to CR since my first trip to Medellin. I will be in MDE at the end of the month. The Paisa's are so very hot, and for the most part greatly enjoy sex.

The ficha thing can be a real pain, especially for those who don't go down often. The masero's hound people to death that they don't know. They can also be useful in finding how well the session can go though. As has been said many times, a lady gulping down a drink, probably won't make a good session, so a good $7. 50 investment.

I go often enough that I rarely get bothered by the masero's, or the ladies. They know for the most part whether I am going to go with them or not. What I will do is buy a ficha for a lady that I am not going to go with at this time, but setting it up for later. With the right lady it is appreciated, and returned in the future session. I also believe that by being in Tijuana often it obviously helps in getting better sessions, especially since they know I am not stuck on one lady. They want my money as much as possible, so they give better service since they know I have many that I session with.

I watched the lady that I was with last Saturday night sit with a guy for about an hour and have many drinks. She got up and left (I don't know if he didn't want to go arriba or not, or she didn't) , and she came over to me. She sat with me for at least a half hour, had one drink. The Masero asked if I wanted to buy her another, and she said no. She said wanted to go arriba. It is not the number of drinks you buy, it is about the connection. It is not necessarily about looks either. She left a young, in shape guy, and came to me a fat, old, f*rt.

One of the hardest things for me when I first starting going to Tijuana was saying NO! It doesn't matter how hot she is, if there is no connection just say NO. Do not feel bound to have to buy a ficha. That in itself will not be the key to a good session. After the first watch how she drinks, and acts towards you. There are some great actresses, but for the most part if you are qualifying right, one drink should be enough. For those of you who do not go down to Tijuana much, in HK watch out for the chips, and now food, being dropped without your consent. Immediately put it back on their tray. Remember, NO is your friend and is not rude to say.

IMO, there is really no right, nor wrong, in mongering. There are just different ways about getting your personal desires met. Make that your number one priority, becuase virtually nothing in the mongering game is impossible in Tijuana, for the right amount of money.

Well, I agree with Mad & Art about the ficha thing. However, it's not the fichas themselves, it's the way they are done.

BTW, Costa Rica's strip joints make Tijuana fichas look positively cheap by comparison. You can spend a shitload of money on copas, if you're not careful.

But bars the world over have lady drinks. About the only place I can think of that doesn't is Myanmar. Tijuana's policy makes a little bit of sense. It's pretty much the price of a regular drink, with the lady's commission added on. The first problem is that the drink is very small. The second, biggest issue, is that it is a constant hustle by the bar to get you to buy more. And more. And more. And more. That shit gets old in a hurry, and I rarely buy fichas anymore, just for that reason.

It's not all the chica's fault, either. Management makes them hustle fichas, and the waiters see to it.

I think the moral is to patronize the less high-pressure establishments. The more local joints don't hustle you nearly as badly. But you're still expected to spring for a ficha or two if you expect a chica to sit with you.

But it is what it is, and they won't stop ripping off the customers as long as the customers keep showing up. The trick is to try to minimize the damage and still have a little bit of fun in the process.

So if any of you fellas have read my previous reports regarding the GF type I have become involved with over the last 10 months here is an update.

From the very first time I met her there was something that set her apart from the others. I thought I stumbled across the only girl in the zona who was not motivated by money. From our first encounter when we danced and I tried to give her a dollar for the dance and she wouldn't take it. To her eventually wanting to spend the whole night together without any money being exchanged. Through the many years I have spent visiting the zona I have stayed away from any kind of relationship because I have always understood its all about the money you go down there, you have sex with nice looking woman and you know how much it is going to cost you.

So with this relationship while I have let myself develop feelings for her I have remained extremly paronoid about being used for money. So far she has passed all the tests. So with her birthday coming up next month I was planning on going down there and spending all kinds of money on her and really trying to show her a good time. However last night I got a text from her that she was having alot of problems and could I help her by sending 100 dollars. Quite honestly I was expecting to get a text like that along time ago but never did. I did send it. But now I am wondering is this only the begining of becoming an ATM machine or maybe just an occasional expense that is acceptable if you want the GF type experience.

Like Mahal speaks about in his report in the Tropical Bar section when you find that special connection it can make an older man feel young again.

Just $100? I think she is so ugly so she can't make $100 or she is just testing you. If you like her, go for it.
