General Reports

[Dogers69]

Hey y'all I'll be visiting Tijuana in about 2 months. I arrive Saturday and leave Wednesday. I plan on staying at cascadas for the majority of the trip but was debating my first night at a local hotel to check out the escort scene and local club / bar scene. Any recommendations for a hotel that's escort friendly, relatively cheap, and close to the nightlife scene?

It seems as if hotel Ticuan is the favorite but was wondering if y'all had any other suggestions. After that I'll be at cascadas from Sunday to Wednesday for some down and dirty mongering LOL.

A few guys mention hotel Ceasars as being good for escort. But the lobb is big bright fancy you won't be able to sneak anyone in under radar. So if its none girl its fine. But girl after girl will stand out. In that case hotel baja is another option. There's been a few new hotels in last 3 years that nobody mentions. The ones I use are a step below this and would work but you may want fancier. Hotel Nelson right in front of revolution and on front of arch and 700 feet from zona would probably work but I haven't been. I'm surprised that hotel looks quiet maybe there's something wrong with the rooms. There was a report somewhere about a guy having all his money stolen from staff. Basically being new you want to look at a map and stay within half block of revolution. Then you can get drunk on 2 dollar beers and walk home easily. My favorite bars are zebra, rubix which is 80's music bar, and rock bar, heavy metal music. And el museo has a good bar where you can watch people in street. And meet gringos. I probably wouldn't go into Pulgas or the dance types of places alone as once I tried and the security staff didn't sound like he wanted me in even at like 5 pm. Gave me a whole bunch questions like a cop would. I didn't even walk in didn't feel safe. Actually that was el copeo.

Guys. I lived in Puerto Nuevo / Rosarito for 6 years before I was car jacked. (my own stupidity) I have traveled to Colombia 7 times in the last 3 years. The women there are off the charts but now full of sex tourists. I visited Cozumel / Cancun / Isla Mujeres etc. Many years back and although it's probably much different. It's easier to get there from Tijuana then say Bogota. With long layovers in cdmx it could be a nice experience. So if I drive to Tijuana, fly to Cancun. Flights under $200 (Volaris LOL) and in 4 hours.

All this to ask anyone if they would do a 4-6 day trip to Cozumel / Cancun before or after Easter Sunday. Or Tijuana? FYI Colombia is still do-able.

This year there is a big problem with seaweed, sargassum on the beaches of the east coast of Mexico and the Caribbean islands. Check You Tube for the situation in Playa del Carmen (near Cancun). The west coast of Mexico (Pacific) does not have this problem.

So true about the Sex Tourist in Colombia, way too many low end Sex Tourists. This is why I love MTY and CDMX. I have very little competition, life is good. CDMX can get expensive quickly if you are not careful, MTY is much more reasonable. The beach resorts are going to be expensive.

The only problem during the Holidays in MTY, many leave the city, so not the best time to visit. Good luck.

One of my chica friends at HK had been telling me she was planning on going back to her hometown for this last week of March. I guess she had mentioned it to some of her other clients as well, but turns out she has pushed her plans back for another month and will remain in TJ for now. One of those clients decided to buy a plane ticket for this last week of March as soon as she told him about going over there and is now upset with her because she changed her traveling plans. He's been trying to guilt trip her about not going back home because he was hoping to spend some time with her down there even though she never told him she would or that her plans were set in stone, she had just casually mentioned it. She told him that was of his own doing and she never told him to fly himself out there. He's upset because his plane ticket can't get refunded. Now he's trying to convince her to go out there if he pays for her transportation and she doesn't want to. Some guys are really fucking weird. These girls have to put up with this creepy behavior. I really hope it's not one of you guys. If it is, she has shown me your picture and text messages. She doesn't want to see you out there where she had only planned for quality time with family. Take the loss on the ticket and move on dude.

That is seriously fucking psycho behavior. She should call the cops on him the moment he lands. A couple of months inside a Mexican jail with Mexico's finest gentlemen should rehabilitate him.

I never just wing it with plans as I like to be sure before I spend money. I would have asked her before hand if she would be cool with me visiting her in her hometown. Better yet is wait for her to invite me down to her hometown like my ex girlfriend did. To just buy a ticket without asking her first is very creepy and stalkerish behavior, plus it is stupid af. I would have just bought a plane ticket to Tijuana to see the gals in HK and the zona since that is a guarantee of a good time. Girls go home to see the family, I am headed to El Salvador next week and it is time for my kids, I don't want anyone coming along with me LOL. That client needs to find more girls to hang with.

[Cocr Brotheler]

Key is to spend it in one of the good areas. I stayed 4 nights at Ticuan Hotel and that area decent plus I went to Zona Rio that trip to see the new Top Gun last summer. But yeah most parts of Tijuana not that nice. Who wants to leave their apartment and smell sewer?

I do not think living in Tijuana is as bad as some think. I do not like commuting so not for me.

Roads = California roads are pretty horrible right now and we pay crazy taxes specifically for road upkeep.

Safety = Mexico is not as safe but anyone not yet aware that California is on a hard path down in terms of public safety in not aware of current events. One of the reasons people leaving California is because of safety issues.

Cost of living = not even a comparison. Mexico wins in a landslide. Specially if you have the ability to go back into the USA to buy the things that are more costly in Mexico.

Fun = not sure what people want to call some of these insane radical culture changes happening in the USA but they definitely making things less fun. I get "woke" may not be what the word was originally intended for and maybe the meaning has been shifted to fit political goals but I think everyone knows what I am talking about when I say woke actions in USA want me to take my money and resources to another country. This comes from a life long Left voter.

Little sorry to bring politics into this but the out of control political polarization that seems to have infected the USA (and CDMX on some levels according to my friends there) is really bringing the world down imo. Yes I will take my resources elsewhere to avoid that no fun crap..

Maybe it is just me but I could never live in Tijuana. The smell of the place, the shitty streets, traffic, traffic lights, dilapidated buildings, and corrupt cops makes me sick of the place quickly. Every single time I have gone down there I could not wait to get back to San Diego and the good ole USA, which is usually about 2-3 days. I always feel a sigh of relief when stepping foot on US soil. My suggestion to anyone thinking about moving to Tijuana is to spend like a full week there before making the decision. Just my opinion.

[Cocr Brotheler]

I agree with you Hadez.

I like this Youtube. Is all about going where treated best as many Americans continue to flee if they have the means.

Maybe if people were dealing with real life and death problems they would see the insane nonsense in some of the things they stirring up crap about.

I love the city, but they do need better roads and less traffic. They probably don't collect enough tax revenue to reinvest into the city. Mexico is a mostly cash system so easy to bypass any tax revenue laws. Driving 10 miles can turn into an hour affair during most of the day. They keep building offices and residential buildings, but I don't see any improvements with more roadways or toll roads. Im sure they could make nicer thoroughfares near via rapida if they charged tolls. I've seen in the news they plan to create a metro system, but imagine it would take at least a decade to complete.

Yes Tijuana definitely needs a above ground trolley.

I don't think they can start building a below ground one. Thats probably more expensive. But a trolley that goes from the border to revolution and maybe a transfer to shoot south 10 miles at revolution, and one that goes to Playas from revolution. And at the border have another teaser that shoots maybe like a upside down you, that goes into the neighborhoods where everyone's living and back tobotay border crossing. The congestion is Tijuana in my opinion is the worst I've seen. Ifbin LOS angelles I'm always staying close to the coast so I can't speak to dealer into LA but Tijuana is much worse than Venice Santa Monica.

[Hadez]

Good advice. I am always upfront and honest with the government and law enforcement. IMO their job is hard enough without people making it more of a problem.

To anyone else who gets the interview it may be better just to go to Arizona. Can easily get those appointments in a month or two. Otay wait is currently 2024.

Seems like you can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. The interview should be easy and pretty quick. Just be honest and you shouldn't have a problem. Good luck.

I could never live in Tijuana. A friend picked me up from revolution street on a sat night 8 pm to drive to her daughter apt 10 miles away. It took an hour. And that was normal. Its much worse in the day time I was told. The neighborhood her daughter lived in for low rent patients I wouldn't be safe in. Then she showed me apartments she's looking for for herself and other adult kids. Maybe 3 4 blocks off revolution. The streets look ghetto. There's no parking spots. Its nothing like a nice USA apartment t with a small patch grass maybe a little breathing room. Nope. Just everyone on top of each other and 3 bedroom was like $900 month. Wow. She wanted me to move into the laundry room part time and pay rent LOL. I'm like no thanks I like my revolution street hotels. My friends living in Tijuana paying these rents they make no money either. Like 6 dollars an hour. These aren't even. Minimum wage jobs. It would be middle income jobs that in is a pay 24 an hour.

I've driven past some pretty impressive neighborhoods in the hills of Tijuana. I think it was south of La Cacho and Chapultepec area. I'm sure most if not all are million dollar homes. Traffic is terrible, but rent for a 1-2 br in Tijuana runs $500-$700 compared to $2,000-$2,500 in SoCal.
