General Reports

[Captain Solo]

There are reports of infection in CDMX and Baja Calif Sur, but nothing in Tijuana. San Francisco has a lot more infection cases than anywhere else on the West Coast.

I was in La Zona last Friday. Everything seemed normal. The bars still have all the usual crowds having fun. There was no worry.

You should be safe to go for a few more weeks until further reports on the situation.

Should I be trippin' about the Coronavirus this weekend in La Zona?

[Captain Solo]

The International Farmacia on Calle 1, at the corner of the trinket alley across from the McDonald, will sell you all grades of Viagra, also any prescription drugs with no need for scripts, but prices will be slightly higher.

Or you can ask any farmacia to refer you to a doctor nearby for scripts. Doctors typically charge $10-15 per script.

I would think being in San Fran would be more of a threat with the crowding. Although sleeping around in Tijuana during a viral outbreak isn't the brightest idea on paper or reality.

So you're saying it wasn't a good idea for me to have DFK'd, DATY'd, received BBBJ and boned seven chicas last week in Tijuana?

Flying out of the bay area on Saturday, staying in San Isydro.

, with a home base at Adelitas hotel.

I'm not one to be paranoid, but the media has been roaring about the coronavirus around here. Looking for some thoughts? Anyone else trippin' on it? I'll mostly likely say screw it, and go anyway. Long live La Zona! 🙌.

Will be making a trip in a few weeks.

? best place to buy real Viagra and get a prescription (for other drugs) (or if any one has a socal connection let me know).

? do they have taxi service going to the zone from USA side and one going back to USA or do I just walk then taxi or uber.

? any go dance clubs on rev.

1 - RTFF for all manner of pharmacies to buy Viagra, including Costco. Many pharmacies have a doctor next door who you can see and get a prescription.

2 - No, there is no taxi service that crosses the border. That's on you. Once across an Uber or taxi is the preferred method, although the Zona Norte is within walking distance.

3 - El Copeo has dancing. Las Pulgas is the largest dance club in the area. Just south of that is Coko Bongo. On Calle Sexta are Blanco why Negro and La Estrella, both dance places. Also on the same street, La Mezcalera has a patio in the back where a DJ plays and there is dancing.

Where are you getting this list? Jardines Playas is simply a neighborhood in Playas. It's being somewhat gentrified, so you'll find lots of coffee shops, small restaurants, taco stands, etc. I really can't think of anything going out of your way for. Wander around and you'll find something you'll like. Frankly, I like Sunset Lounge, but technically that's in Playas not in Jardines.

There's a local chain of coffee shops called D'Volada. They're all over. I like them, the coffee is good and prices reasonable. For higher end you can't beat Praga on Revolucion.

Thanks! The list is just what I gathered from reading and talking to people. In Jardines, I went to Perimetro and Kurtoz for coffee. I liked Perimetro better.

Thanks for weighing in! I've seen bullfights in Madrid too. I enjoyed watching the amateur baseball, more for the community aspect than the sport of it. Ah, I wasn't sure if what I saw at Antigua Bodega was exactly mariachi, maybe there's another category for it. It was local music though. What is Antigua known for?

Oh, another add to my list is to see some Jai Alai, since there's that big place on Avenida Revolucion.

Which coffee shops did you visit in Jardines and are there other good locations?

Antigua has lots of different performances. Plays, local musicians, that sort of thing. A different artist each week. They may have had a mariachi band there at some point, but that is not their specialty.

Jai Alai hasn't been played in Tijuana for decades. The fronton is now a concert venue.

For those who have a bullfight on their bucket list:

"Experience one of Latin America's cultural event in Tijuana, the bullfights. We offer tickets and tours from San Diego to the Monumental bullring, the only bullring next to the sea!

Recommend watching Pablo Hermoso de Mendoza. I believe he is worth going to watch since he fights from horseback and is not the standard bullfighter. Expert horsemanship. Around 500 pesos for a cheap seat.

Oh, I learned something. I thought they's stopped doing bullfights in Monumental. Apparently not.

Jai Alai is no longer played there.

Caesar's is nice but there are better places in town, and that's saying something because Caesar's is quite good. Check out Mision 19 or Lorenza.

Better taco stands also exist elsewhere in Tijuana.

Antigua Bodega really isn't noted for Mariachi. They have loads of different musicians and other performances. If you want mariachi, Plaza Santa Cecilia on a Friday / Saturday is crawling with them. For an old school "Trio LOS Panchos" type of performance, check out La Fogata and their trio.

I've been to all of these except the bullfights and I won't go into a vegan restaurant.

Bullfights are very sporadic and quite pricey. I've seen them in Madrid. I have very mixed feelings about them.

Don't waste your time with amateur baseball. Just go see the Toros during the season.

I went to Tijuana for the girls but I thought it was a pretty fun visit outside of that too. I'm looking for "cultural" suggestions for my next visit.

Here are the things I enjoyed or would like to:

* Eating and drinking at Telefonica Gastro Park.

* Mariachi show at Antigua Bodega de Papel.

* Fancy dinner at Caesar's hotel.

* Jogging with locals at Playas Tijuana.

* Seeing the border fence murals at Playas Tijuana.

* Bullfight at Plaza de Toros.

* Vegan food at El Yogurt Place.

* Watching amateur baseball at Parque Azteca Sur.

* Visiting fancy coffee shops around Jardines Playas.

* Eating at the taco stand on Calle Coahuila.

* Visit upscale shopping mall to see how the rich locals live.

What about you? Are there places you recommend?

I like to eat seafood with the upper crust of Tijuana society at Villa Marina.
