Nuevo Laredo

[RikiMichaels1]

It is with great sadness that I have had to depart South Texas (San Antonio). I accepted a position with a firm in San Diego and began working there this past Monday. In doing so, I am leaving behind some wonderful memories of two of my favorite border towns, Nuevo Laredo and Ciudad Acuna.

In particular here is what I am going to really miss:

Nuevo Laredo:

- La Mina Bar: My all time favorite little bar on Guerrero since closed. Great juke box and open aired where you could watch people walking by all day.

- Papaguayos: The first cantina I ever hit in Nuevo Laredo in 2006. Was run by a great lady since passed away by the name of Ophelia but has since closed. In its heyday, this place was funner than hell with a lot of fun girls.

- Tamykos: A gaudy Chinese themed bar in NLBT with a few decent women. Great old lady owner and daughter. Great jukebox where we would play Chicago, Santana, etc. Closed down now.

- Danash: Nicely decorated strip club in NLBT with some of the most beautiful women I have seen on this planet even though the drink prices for women were high.

- La Montera: Great, fun bar downtown with a live band. Once in a while you can find some real good looking women in there. But few. Great waiters and drink prices and you can dance there.

Ciudad Acuna:

- Corona Club: My all time favorite country themed bar ever. In its heyday, various country performers played there including Pat Green, Jack Ingram, Radney Foster, etc. For some reason, country music when played in this establishment sounded fantastic. A couple of Antonio Banderas movies were filmed here. Its a one of a kind place even though few visit there now.

- Crosbys Restaurant: Closed now. In its heyday and fabulous restaurant and bar with great food and ambience.

- Hunter's Ranch: Cantina that used to be great five plus years ago with some beautiful women. Could be even better if the friggin owner, Tino, lowered his drink prices that are outrageously high.

Now my tribute to the women of these South Texas border towns:

- Letty: Met her in La Montera. She is absolutely the sweetest, melloist, go with the flow, always had a good time, never asked for money woman. One of a kind that I will probably never meet again. She wanted to move in with me in San Antonio in February but hasn't answered my texts in over a month. I totally love this woman and will never forget her as long as I live.

- Veronica: Met her in Pullman bar in NLBT. Cute little blond that was as sweet as Letty and loved the hell out of me. One of a kind. Tough life for this sweet girl. I pray to God that her life turns around. Would love to see her again.

- Yandell: Beautiful brunette used to work in Papaguayos. She and I have had some tumultuous times together but I still like her.

- Laura: Beautiful rack. Frequents La Montera. A total hustler that I threw out of my hotel one night because she lied and said I bit her nipple.

I want to thank Bbond and McKlipsch, amongst others, for there postings and responses on this board.

I am really getting sad thinking about what I am going to miss but hope to someday return. In the meantime, I will be heading over to Tijuana quite a bit. I actually met a cute girl there this past week. We spent two days together, went to the beach and a fun little bar where we played jukebox music until the wee hours (Bee Gees, Chicago, Santana, Earth Wind and Fire, Luis Miguel, Christian Castro, etc.)

Adios all my amigos and amigas. I am going to miss the hell out of all of you.

Hi Guys,

I am just reading the posts and keeping up with the NL scene. Looks like everything is cool, especially Bbond. I am on my way to Angeles City. Will report on that thread. I may be able to visit NL in April or May. Got to re-work my calendar. Anyway, take care, guys. And BBond, give my love to my favorite girls.

[Bbond]

Thanks for your response. Is much going on Wednesdays or Thursdays versus the weekend?

Just depends, sometimes those days are good, sometimes not.

[PghKid]

Yes to both questions. Except it's Montera not Montero.

Are the vans from the truck stop still operating?

Is the Montero still the center of the action downtown?

I may have a chance to go to Laredo in a week and I was wondering what is going on there.

Is the Montero still the center of the action downtown?

Thanks

No MPs in Nuevo Laredo. Most of the action is in the downtown bars. Boys Town used to be the place but it has pretty much dried up.

[EnormusDick]

What is the story on mp's in neuevo laredo? What are the prices and can I get a map. I have only been to juarez and I wonder what it's like in your area.

[Beavis]

I just made a trip down Tuesday night. It was super slow but no competition. Some decent looking girls among the few that were out and no competition. Stayed at the Fiesta and had no problems whatsoever. Was really quiet. Montero is about the only thing going right now. Stuck my head inside of Herradura and saw nobody inside. Only one other American that I saw all night, Beavis likes these conditions.

Does anyone know as of recently, is there anything worth trying in Acuna or Piedra Niegras?

Yea acuna. Have gone the passed 2 days; of course I haven't been to BT in years, one of the last times I went was with bbond, and that was quite a long time ago.

But downtown has always been pretty good, average girl is about a 5 maybe; I would like a supermodel type every once in a while but a 5 is good enough for me when I only pay about 180-200 pesos with room total. And even after a caguama or 2 its all good. Stick to jessies and tochos and theres a new little joint they opened that was once a part of tochos that was on the side, ithink its called la granja now its getting some decent action with decent girls I haven't seen.

PN I don't know man. I just wouldn't go just too many firefights out there and as far as the BT is I wouldn't drive with the police corruption, but you can always take a cab and then you never know if those guys are halcones and end up taking you elsewhere.

Trust me about acuna, I go about twice a week and I've only felt unsafe about 2 times I've ever gone.

I'm considering a trip to Laredo and would like to walk across the bridge into Nuevo Laredo to check it out. How much does it cost to cross, and do you swipe a card or pay an attendant cash, or what? What's the scene when you first get across-do you have to go far to get to the bars etc? Are there taxis there that will take you to a bar or is that dangerous? Years ago I used to hear about the Cadillac Bar. Is it still there and worth checking out?

Walking across costs $0. 75, pay cash to get a ticket which is inserted into a gate that allows passage. Walk down the main drag, Guerrero until you get to the first stop light, Hidalgo, look to the right you will see bar Montera. Ignore any pleas from street touts for assistance, you will be fine. The Cadillac Bar is long closed, sorry, good food sometimes, but not always, anyway, closed. Get a membership here to get PMs activated, I have lived here 4+ years, have know downtown a lot longer than that, almost everyone downtown knows me, I am usually here every day, more than happy to assist anyway I can.

Option One: The old faithful (32 year old, ex-Papas girl) that got her papers and can spend the night with me on the Laredo Texas side. She might be a 7.5 in the looks department but she is a 9+ in the bedroom department and she can probably be talked into accepting $180 for all night. The money I save on the girl could be spent on dinner and maybe a stay at La Posada.

I decided to go with Option One after she promised she would not back out. Traffic was kind of crazy downtown so I parked close to Compass Bank and walked to La Posada ($114 plus tax for king size bed). I checked in when and managed to retrieve my car to park it downstairs when she called and asked for me to cross over to help her across. She was all panicked about finding her way there and also explaining why she was crossing so late so I ended up walking across into Nuevo Laredo around 8:30pm. Things seemed relatively safe at that hour so I might take the chance with Option Two next time and get a place downtown. The problem with getting a room in Laredo Texas is that I have less options if the plans change in any way. She drove us back across on the walking bridge and the line took about half an hour. I told the border guy she was my friend and we were going shopping and he was ok with our story.

Once at the hotel, I got one off in time for us to make our way to the restaurant before it closed around 10pm. Food was tasty and plentiful but pricey. I got her back to the room for a second round which I also completed. She was either a great actress or she really enjoyed both rounds (either way I was pleased). For the record, she was 33 and not 32 as I first reported. She was worried about her kids and did not want to be out driving too late in Nuevo Laredo so she asked to leave around 11pm. As a result, I only paid her $100 for the two rounds and she was cool. I sent her on her way and enjoyed sleeping in my luxurious bed.

Based on my observations, downtown Nuevo Laredo seemed relatively safe around 8pm. My amiga's nervousness tells me to not venture out to Boystown too late (after midnight or so). Glad to hear from BBond that door girl's are still available as I managed to successfully get some to do hotel visits before (for bargain prices). If I am lucky, I may get another chance to escape right around March for Spring break.

Had a gringo associate attempt to go to Boys Town Saturday night. The taxi driver told him NO, that it was closed and had been for a long time. Needless to say he didn't push the issue.

NLBT is not closed, it is no where what it once was, but not closed. Several door girls can be found most nights. Safari and Shamrock are the main monger bars now. It is possible the taxi driver told him that because he doesn't like going out there, that area can be a bit hazardous late at night.
