Wow. Little CC brother got jealous with the success of Adelita and decided to take him out, huh?

Strange why only Adelita's owner was kidnapped. HK's owner must bemaking 10x the profit with all those people driking in the joint. Why was he never kidnapped?

After the New year raid, loosk like all HK strippers are required to donate 30% of the tips for someone, looks like protection money to me.

I pity the poor HK girls. Working their asses off to pay off some stupid Mexican goons.

It's my understanding that brother CC took out brother AB.

A bro mentioned to me that Mexican mafia kidnapped the owner of Adelita bar last year, demanding $5 million in ransom. That's a lot of money even for a bar like Adelita. It was not paid, so they murdered the guy. His brother, who owned Chicago Club, took over Adelita. That was when the lights in Adelita was dimmed very dark, just like in CC.

I was dining, not at the Y...., but at La Perla's intersection.

2 guys driving an old car stopped by. The food stand vendor immediately handed over 200 pesos. He was telling the guys about some big and ugly guy who did something bad...

When they were gone, I asked the man why and what the money was for. He said resignedly that he has to pay street gang 200 pesos everyday for protection. If not, he cant even think of opening up for business. They would have dozen of thugs come by and wreck his food stand. He said they have a lot of young kids in the gang.

Looks like there are a lot of sinister controls over the daily life of people in Mexico that we dont know of. The strippers and alley girls most likely have to pay someone for protection. Poor girls. They work their tails off to pay off these useless thugs.

I was eating mariscos and tacos at my favorite street stands across the intersection from restaurant La Perla.

The dark, short, chubby Indian woman came by with her 3 children, leaning against the wall with gum packs in hands, beckoning for change. One of her daughter is about 15 with a pretty, cherubic face. I see them around that corner every time.

I was about to give them some change after I finish my food when 2 white Ford pickup trucks swooped in with a bunch policia toting M-18's. The mom immediately gave a few bunches of flowers to the childtren. The gum packs all disappeared.

2 young woman policia headed staright for the woman, never even looked at the dozen diners at the corner. They hauled the whole family out to the truck for a search. The young woman policia was very cute. She was going through the mom's jacket carefully while giving her a stern lecture about something. The children were looking at the cops in bewilderment.

Finally the cute young policia lowered the back gate and loaded the whole family onto the pick up truck bed. They also arrested 2 other young chicas nearby and both trucks drove off in a huff. Alleggedly they found drugs on the people so they made the arrests.

One time I found a young, attractive woman carrying a baby, begging at the corner. I never saw her there before. The baby was whining. He looked hungry. I guessed she was just temporarily short of money so she had to beg. So I gave her the change after I ate. She never came back again, so hopefully she overcame her problems.

There used to be half a dozen children hanging out begging at that corner. They havent showed up recently. So TJ must be cleaning up the streets of beggars.

I was sitting inside restaurant Amecuica across Coiahuila from Hotel Hacienda de Santiago. There were about 10 customers and 6 workers, all family, including a Mexican couple from the US. Looked like they are the owners of the joint.

2 white pick up trucks pulled into the curb. 2 female policias wearing M18 automatic assault rifles walked into the restaurant. They took the mexican American owner out to the truck for a search. They found nothing on him so they let him go.

The guy said he was targetted because he's new in the neighborhood, not living there everyday. The cops did arrest 2 more guys nearby, carrying 8 guys in the pick up truck. The cops never looked at or asked a bunch of rowdy gringos sitting in the place.

It was a fairly dangerous situation. If anyone jumped or shot at the cops, you may see 6 automatic weapons spraying bullets. A lot of people could be blown to bits and pieces at close range. I was hoping the butches have good aims with their rifles, and that they were on not the rags...hehehe.

For 3 months have not seen presence of Policia Federale or Mexican Army around La Zona Roja. Streets are nice and quiet...

1. Make a pitcher of lemonade to your taste, or buy a bottle of margarita premix, which is just lime juice, sugar and water.

2. Pour 1 coffee cup (6 ozs) lemonade into a cocktail shaker. Add
1 shot or 1 ozs of tequila
1/2 shot or half ozs tripple sec like Cointreau or Grand Marnier Cognacs
ice cubes

3. Shake vigorously

4. Rim your glass with a lemon slice, dip rim in salt or sugar, fill with fresh ice cubes

5. Strain maragrita into glass, garnish with lemon slice and/or cherry

6. Get your chicas drunk, pull her panties down with your teeth, go to the YMCA and dine...

This mixed drink will give you a gentle high but will not fill you up like beers. You can drink it all night. It should help, not hinder your sexual performance.

As you get off the taxi at la linea, walking back pass the foot bridge and the liquour stores, there is a little girl selling gums with an old woman, looking more like her grandmother.

She's a tiny little girl, about 13, 14 with a sweet, pretty face. She's always there, even at 3 AM, sitting on the sidewalk, bunching up in old clothes next to her mother. The old woman never looks up. She may be blind for all I know. It does not take 2 persons to sell the gums. The little girl is there to keep her company.

I was walking back very late with a bro at 1 AM on a rainy night, and there she was, sitting dripping wet on the cold sidewalk. I always stop and buy some gums from them. The little girl looked up with a pretty smile, like she was very happy to see that dollar. Looks like she doesnt get too many dollars a day.

There are also half a dozen other women selling trinkets on that stretch of the sidewalk. They sleep out every night under the stars hoping to catch some change from guys limping back late from la Zona. A few boys and girls are also there to keep them company.

It's a hard life. I canot help feeling sorry for them.

iT'S a hole in the wall restaurant roughly across the street from Hotel Hacienda de Santiago on Coiahuila, on the same side, half a block East of Adelita.

35P buys a sit-down meal with rice, totilla, beef or pork soup with vegetables. It's a hot, delicious, wholesome, filling meal, sure to beat the tacos stands in taste, volume and cleanliness.

She also serves a sorts of tacos there but I have not partaken.

At the mariscos stand at corner of Coiahuila and Nino heroes, I ordered half dozen oyster (ostionne) on the shell for 50 pesos. The guy asked me if I wanted 'con toda,' all the chopped onion, tomato and cucumber. I said 'yes.' That was a big mistake. The oyster tasted fishy with all the veggies in it. I should have eaten them with just copious amount of lime juice, salt and red pepper sauce.

Half hour later I was in HK Club when my belly started aching and I was turning cold. It was typical food poisoning. I had to go to the bathroom a few times to dump my load.

I felt weak so had no interests in the very beautiful chicas hanging out all around me. I wasted a whole night because of contaminated oyster. It pissed me off. In the past I ate raw oyster many times at La Perla rest with no problems.

So my new rules are never to eat raw oyster on the street again. Also never eat tacos with their guacamole sauce, which is a very good and creamy medium for bacteria to breed.

I was hanging out at the mariscos stand on the corner of Ninos Heroes and Coiahuila during one afternoon.

Everytime a car drove by even slowly, it kicked up a big cloud of dust that engulfed the whole neighborhood and all the food stands. At night you cannot see that dust cloud, but in the day time, the dust cloud is horrenduous.

The street food there must be coated with a thick layer of local dust. I suppose the food inside restaurants are somewhat cleaner, but that dust still spreads out everywhere.

This restaurant is roughly across the street from the hotel Hacienda de Santiago on Coiahuila, half a block East of Constitution.

3 young sisters serve a whole bunch of hot Mexican meals, with soup, rice and meats for 35-peso. I ate there with the CC chicas. It was nice hot and tasty.

May be someone who can read their menu in Spanish can advise what else they serve.

It was nice to mix with the locals for a change.

Typical pizza slice Mexican style and typical COSCO snacks, ice cream and drinks. Combination promocional special pizza with coupon 19 pesos. Frosted drinks for 19 pesos. Free Tequila samples on certain day and time.
Look for the coupon for greater discount.

Certain store items 30% cheaper than USA. Look for items made in Mexico for greater discount.

Very friendly service even for COSCO.

Bring your USA COSCO card for general store access and for snack bar orders. The snack bar food tastes better here for some reason.

TJ has two COSCO but one is Zona Rio, It is 30 peso fare to Zona Rio COSCO by taxi from the border. A distance of 2 kms.

Did not know they had a Cosco in TJ. Might come in handy for a extended stay. What are the prices like compared other places in TJ ? If I were to get a place with a kitchenette this might be a useful place to visit. What type of food do they sell at the snack bar and what are the prices?

Dear Spacecadet7,

If my dick is in la Zona Roja, my mouth would follow it there. It's not possible to take my mouth away to Costco for any snack.

For a good snack, you should try the Mexican panochas in HK and Adelita. They are known to be juicy and flavorful(!). Just walk into the bars and tell any waiter you want to eat the biggest and juiciest panocha in the joint, then sit back and get ready to enjoy your big meal...

Please tell the forum how you survived the meal...hehehe.
