Nuevo Laredo

Herradura is rather far from closing. Owner was upset, because Zetas are returning to bar around 3AM, order drinks and don't pay. They have guns, so there's nothing to do about it. Police will not react, because Zetas pay for licence to operate in the area. In addition there was signal from "federales" that they will clean area, after local security was beaten. That means it could be hot around. The same owner have gay's bar Vitos and there Zetas play the same way. To avoid drunk Zetas, both bars were closing early last week. (Around 1AM)

[QUOTE=Vince Nld]OK, just so this is clear to me, you have talked to the owners of both clubs on this, correct? That really sucks about the Montera as I always really liked the setup of the club and their drink prices seem to be cheaper than other bars in the area. Guess that also means we loose the 2 adjacent hotels, which were my favorite short term in the area, especially the one to the west that actually seems to be cool in the summer time!

Yes, I talked to Herradura boss and Mr. Lalo (owner of that little shitty hotel Asturias near Herradura). Montera will move, but it could take months. Herradura so far is only closing early (around 1AM). You're right. Prices in Herradura sucks. I don't watch, how much I pay for drinks. But I can see that in Herradura my money dissapear really fast. I don't know if owner was really serious about closing.
You can spot Zetas in Herradura very easy. After 8PM, you'll see group of rather primitive campesinos on the right side of the music band (if you face bar). Sometime they have table in that area, but most often they just stay there and watch. No smile, no talk.

On the girl side, there is a lot of new faces. Some of them real beauties. My advice is to take time and watch for a while. Last time I was in a hurry and in a first look there was nothing interesting. When I finally made a choice, I had to pass other opportunities.

As to the weapon, they were carrying a modified 9MM a year ago.
The clip was the give-away. Now they are using unmodified M4s.
I have never seen any soldier in Mexico ever carry an AK47 (not that that means it never happened). Vets notice those kinds of things.

I meant the real bad guys use AK-47s, almost everytime there is a major shooting, they report finding AK-47 casings at the site.
The AK-47 fires a 7.62 x 39 bullet, while the M4 fires the 5.56 shell.
Bad guys, in Mexico, have also been known to use RPGs.


Papa's Fiesta Carnival, Feb. 20.

I have been drinking standard Coronas for quite some time in Papas. If a girl orders a beer, she still gets the Coronitas.

$60 plus $12?? Papas has been charging $16 for room for a few months now.

M4/M16 assult rifles are now standard, the bad guys use AK-47s.

OK. $16 not $12. It went to $12 in Tijuana. Misspoke.

My last trip to BT, which was close to a year ago I got a coronita.
I am happy for you that you have been drinking Coronas for a long time.

Drinks are a reasonable $2, and they delivered a Corona, not a Coronita. This is a nice upgrade, they must be really hurting.

Sixty plus twelve, ten tip afteward.

For those who know the difference, the are now carrying M4s, clips in.

This is another TR on my once or twice a year visits to NL.

Got to the border at around 9:30. Bought a border crossing card from the vending machine at the new border building. Still amazing it costs more to get into Mexico than to get back to the US. Crossedthe bridge and immediately noticed the difference. There were very few people for a Saturday night as we remember them.

Shared a cab to BT. The cab was stopped at the entrance and we were asked if we were carrying any arms - including pocket knoves. Then pulled into Papaguaya's. Not that I wanted to go there, but the cabbie was thrilled that I said, sure, pull in. The inside has been cleaned up a bit, newer bar, significantly better lighting and even a flat screen TV - showing a Lacross game for goodness sakes. As to the crowd. I made this comment recently on the TJ Adelitas Bar, but he gringo crowd is definetely older than it used to be. Wonder if that is a comment on the economy. As to the chicas. Feh. Probably more of them then customers. No stunners, but one or two very definate 8 or 9s. Drinks are a reasonable $2, and they delivered a Corona, not a Coronita. This is a nice upgrade, they must be really hurting.

Took a walk around the compound, and again was surprised at how thin the place has become. On row 2, more than half the doors were closed as were half the bars. Along the back row,the old TV bars were closed as well. I mention this only because some of the door girls on the back row are now named Bruce. This includes the SW girls directly opposite the Danash.

Returned to Papas cuz it was time. Picked a cute standard short plaid skirt, what looked like real C cups, long dark hair chica. I love how guys describe these girls as if you could ever find them from the description. Unless of course she is the "Madonna looking one" or the one with the three tits.
Sixty plus twelve, ten tip afteward. All the standard positions, was greatful she was not one of those TV watchers, and seemed to either get hot or appeared to get hot from my attention to her sweet little button. (reminds me of the joke in this months Maxim: Know why women fake orgasms? Cuz they think we give a shit.) Room was cleaner than I remember them.

Took a cab back around 12:30, no line at the border. Biggest note: I did not see a policeman nor a soldier the entire night. Sunday morning I saw one flatbed with three black dressed police. For those who know the difference, the are now carrying M4s, clips in. This a change from what they were carrying, and I wonder if this is a reflection of the new sheriff in town.

For 2 different reasons both places will be closed in near future.

Montera is located in building recently sold. New owner want to build something different in that place. New Montera will be probably located near first plaza from the border.

Herradura have long problems with narco-militants "Zetas". One of security guys of Herradura, who is working now for Zetas, have old conflict with his former co-workers. Two of the former coworkers were bitten by Zetas and police was notyfied about narco activities in Herradura.

Right now Herradura works shorter hours and owner mentioned that will close it soon, and wait until everything will calm around.

I would figure all of the downtown cops were aware of the drug problem at Herradura. Heck, that problem dates as far back as when they were working out of their former location. I also at least "heard" that zetas frequented the place. I never could tell as I never look at the guys. Any idea as to how long they would close for if that is what happens?

Good info! I hate to see this type of stuff happen though.

I had gone by the Pent House one time, but didn't get off and go into the club because it was located on a dead end of a block and there was a bunch of people I did not want to rub shoulders with.

Anybody got any recent reports or reviews about recent trips to NLBT or news on any new places?

I know the feeling about Pent House. When I went, I wasn't actually thinking. The crowd inside is definitely more working class locals than the more white-collar locals you see in boystown. However, inside I never felt uncomfortable and as the only guerro in the place, I was somewhat of a novelty with the girls. I was definitely paying the gringo tax for dances and girl drinks... Not as bad as Danash but not cheap either. No one there speaks English and all prices were quoted in pesos. The meseros were attentive and wanted to make sure I had a girl that pleased me on my lap. When I left at 3 or 4 in the morning there were no taxis at the cab stand and like an idiot drunkenly wandered toward Guerrero to find a ride back to my hotel all the way across town. Very stupid. But I'm not too bright.

I haven't been back to Nuevo Laredo in about a month [see mini report below]. I'm off to Germany, Russia and Thailand so I probably won't be back down there at least for a month. If I have any money or stamina left. But I miss some of the mexicanas at Papagayo.

I keep reading the NL discussions because I hope to hear there's new life in Boystown and if there is a place called Palace in NL I need to check out and once and for all if Palace is Pent House or not. Blksnake said the rooms were in the back at Palace, but at Pent House the rooms are upstairs [and sort of to the front].

Yes Punta G is or was the gentlemen's club in the area behind soriana. The street to get to it is right next to a store called "City Club" or something. Havent been to NL in a long while, so I'm not sure if this place is still open. Last time I went on a Saturday they had one customer there and like 10 or 12 girls, and most of them were taking naps on the seats, so I wouldnt be surprised if they shut down already. They did offer "privados" by time limit and the girls would mention the more expensive ones, but I was doubtful about what their definition of "extra" would mean, so I never got one. I do regret it though because there was this one skinny, fake-blonde with some nice legs and a sweet ass. Oh well. If the place is still open I am pretty sure the prices for everything should be the same if not a little less. The lapdances were 15 for one and somewhere between 100 to 225 for the "extra. "

The palace , this place is east of boys town. If you are facing the US going north then it would be the east. The cab drivers are very familar with this place. It opens after 9pm on thursday, friday and sat. Very nice ladies. I have not found this Junta G yet. The palace is more of a gentlemans club with rooms in the back for extra service. You can get a girl for 40-100. They have a very large selection. The quality was 7 up. Many local girls and many girls that use to work tomiko, papagayo and other places like cancun I have met there.

Thanks for the post.

Is the clientele local or American.
Is english a problem?
How much was the cab from the border?

[Cumbianow]

I think this is the strip club that was or still it behind Soriano.

It is a very expensive club. It cost $20 just to get in.

The last I heard was the girls got $225 for sex.

Don't know if it's still open or not and not sure on prices now.

But I'm pretty sure it is the club behind Soriano

[Super Gato]

I think he is talking about the Penhouse when he mentioned a place called the palace that might be 18 or so blocks down from bridge #2. That place has rooms on site and I think we have all agreed that pricing is probably closer to Dannash than to Papas.

-2. Punta G may or may not still be open. I'll try to remember to check one of these days. To my knowledge, this place has booths for privados, but I have never heard of it having actual rooms.

Joe, I was thinking he was talking about Pent House (their spelling, not mine) too. I went there last May. http://www.internationalsexguide.inf...4&postcount=77 I was quite impressed with the girl I got there. I haven't been there recently but after a less-than-great-time at Boystown last time, I was thinking about going back for a little change of pace.

If there's a new place [or at least new to me] I'd be keen to hear about it.
