This weekend will be my first time goin to tj, n im still thinking whether or not this is a good idea.
P.S. what is the age restrictions for these clubs?

Come on down if you are at least 18 yrs old ZN is open and hundreds of pretty Latinas are waiting to greet you and your gringo dollars.

This weekend will be my first time goin to tj, n im still thinking whether or not this is a good idea. I hear all over the news about people gettin shot in tj during shootouts and whatnot. I also hear about many kidnappings. Basically all i want to know is if the zona is safe during friday around 2 in the afternoon.

P.S. what is the age restrictions for these clubs?

I hear its getting pretty bad over there, how close is it to the zona?

[DriedUp]

Is this address far from Zona Rosa?

Via Oriente at Avenida Padre Kino.

And is it far from the border crossing?

I am going solo and found this youth hostel there.

Senor Frogs is the biggest club there, but they're mostly american prices on alcohol.

Senor Frogs is the biggest club in Rosarito? Sounds like you really know the area well.

Hey guys,

So the other day my friend told me his bro wanted to go to Rosaritos. Now every time we go to tj we talk to the cab driver and he says that Rosaritos is more of a place to go if you wanna hook up with college chicks. Have any of you been? If we go, I still plan on making a pit stop on the way back in tj. Oh by the way. I was thinking about bring my cell phone next time and taking loads of pics! I'm gonna back up my phone numbers and such before though, just in case the federales take my phone.

Rosarito is definitely more of a college place. During spring break its the place to be if you're not over 21. Senor Frogs is the biggest club there, but they're mostly american prices on alcohol. If you walk around that area, you'll see all the different bars that are trying to lure you in. Its best just to take a stroll and get a feel for which club/bar is good that night. Its not that long of a drive either, maybe half an hour. On the way there, there's this little town where they have AMAZING seafood for dirt cheap. You can even see the fisherman bringing in that days catch in the morning!

I am thinking of going to TJ Thursday night. Stay until Saturday night.

I want a cheap cheap hotel. If cheap and safe means only in SD, cool. I can walk across to TJ in the morning and be back before it's too late. Cheap meaning 20. 00.

I am going alone, 30s, latino, half mexican. Speak spanish fluently. I am heading out of el monte bus station, god willing. 17 each way on greyhound, I saw.

Any advice, please send.

I prefer heavy, thick, dark skinned women. Bigger the tits and ass the better.

I will check back after work Thursday, July 3rd.

Again, thanks

I don't remember there ever being a line to the border on the 4th of July. I work in the service industry, in San Diego, so I work every 4th. I do ride a motorcycle, though, so perhaps I just didn't notice riding in between everybody.

Hi everyone,

I am think of going to Tj on July 4th. But I only have the day like between 7pm to however late they are open and I have to get on a plane July 5 th at 10 am. I was wondering if it is worth it for such a short trip. I will be flying in to San diego on July 4th early then have meetings and who knows. How far is it from Airport to Boarder crossing how long will take me to drive?

Thanks for all the help

The line of cars at the border entering Mexico will probably be 10 miles long. I don't think it's the best time to drive to the border. Get to a state-side hotel early in the afternoon if you can, get close enough to walk. Do your homework on this one. Try to get a reservation at the hotel. If you MUST commute from San Diego, take the trolly. But I suggest you drive to your San Ysidro motel early. You'll see why when you get there.

Your schedule is tight, what about some sleep? Will you be able to enjoy it?

Sheesh. You guys cut it close, man.

Is it worth it? We'll have to read your trip report to find that out!

Be safe and Be Nice

The zona itself doesn't close but I think certain bars such as AB close at about 6am and re-open at 10 am. You'll be long gone by then anywas. So yeah, I suggest you take the trip. Don't forget to write about it here.

The ZN never closes but normally from 10 pm to 4 am is when the hottest chicas are working on the weekend.

It's about a 15-20 minute drive from the airport to San Ysidro without traffic.

When you cross the border to enjoy the pleasures of the "zona", DON"T BE GREEDY!

-Don't bring anything with you that could get you in trouble (drugs, weapons, pictures, etc).

-Don't misbehave (get drunk, buy drugs, act crazy, etc) and give the TJ cops a reason to stop you.

-Don't try to bring things back to the USA that will get you in trouble.

-Play the game (lay low, be respectful, follow the rules, be polite).

-Be happy with what you got, not what you did not get.

I will be returning next week for my summer TJ adventure (4 trips to AB in 4 nights). I stay in SD, just across the border and and walk across the border both ways. I will be using a passport for ID to get back in. Should I have any concerns about them swiping my passport 4 nights in a row? Do they swipe your passport every time, or is it random?

Don't be concerned with geting your passport swiped 4 nights in a row. Some people get their passport swiped 7 days a week because they live in TJ. It is not illegal for an American citizen to enter the United States of America from Mexico, even if he does so 30 times a day. Do not be concerned. If they ask why you are in Mexico, tell them you are here to chase the lusty latinas. They'll understand, and there's not a damn thing they can do about it.

All your other points are true.

Be safe and be nice
