Posts: 2125Bar Montera.
Talking with an ex cashier, brother to the ex-GM, the Montera is for sale, if you want to open it, a gold mine it would appear, but the asking price, are you ready? US $2,000,000, yes 2 million US dollars.

I think that RedMau5 might be referring to the street girls in NL Boystown who stand in the doorways of their rented rooms waiting for customers to wander by. RedMau5, Tijuana's street girls don't use assigned rooms. There are hundreds of available short time hotel rooms in the Zona Norte and the customer usually follows the paradita to her preferred hotel. Its never too far away.
And to answer your question, the girls are AWESOME! I never saw more than 10 door girls at one time in NL Boystown. On a busy night there might be as many as 100 street girls on duty in Tijuana. And that's not counting the additional 500 or so bar girls or the growing number of escorts available online.

Posts: 651Couple other things
I always return to USA around 6 to 6:30 AM. That's when the bridge is least busy. Also, I always buy booze from the duty-free liquor store before I crossed into Mexico (bring a bag or backpack so you're not dragging shopping bags when walking to your hotel). We are allowed up to 5 bottles / liters. At that time in the morning, the TABC counter is not opened so I don't have to pay duty on the booze.
I had Global Entry every since the program was started 7-8 years ago because I travel overseas a lot (6-10 times a year. Yes, I go to the Philippines, Thailand, Europe, etc. For the hobby). The fee is $100 for 5 years, so it's only $20 a year. You have to go through background check but not with the IRS (I guess unless the IRS is investigating you). When I first applied, I did not know that I have an outstanding citation for speeding in North Carolina over 20 years ago. Apparently that little town just computerized it's records a few years back. The statute of limitations has passed and I had to pay $50 "processing fee" to remove it from my record. The point is that did not affect my application for Global Entry.
So what's the advantage for NL? Well, for one thing, it is easier to carry the card than a passport. When you are crossing back to USA, forget the long line, just walk pass them and look for the Global Entry / Sentri line which is usually empty or 2 or 3 people. You will get more "respect" from CBP officers because they know you are "clean".

The same with the girls: $40 or 400 p. They didn't seem to understand foreign exchange then. I think they are wiser now. However, do confirm how much is the fare before you get into the cab. Again Bbond can help you. Enjoy.

To Redmau5.
If you are asking about the girls hanging out at bars' doors, only the less popular bars employ them to suck in newbies: Gold Palace, Karla's place, Valentina, Coahuila ect.
They would have 2 cute young girls sitting at the doors as bait, but when you go inside they stick you with old, fat, lumpy, ugly, toothless hags, never fails hehe.
I asked an old, ugly woman in Karla how much to go arriba. She said $80 with a straight face, same price as the hottest young girls in Hong Kong. WTF? These women are not in touch with reality, and have no ideas how to compete in the market place.

Posts: 6519Mexico's insurance
To Zygo.
AAA rep told me they do not cover Mexico. If you are in an accident without Mexico's insurance, they will haul your ass to jail until they settle liabilities.
Driving in Mexico is a breeze, mush faster and safer than crossing border on hoofs. Crossing the busy San Ysidro border to la Zona bars and back with Global Entry average takes only 10 minutes curb to curb. Mexico's immigration never stops cars to file visas. I would never walk again.
You can buy Mexico's insurance on line from the AAA web site, costing about $100 a year liability only. I haven't had any accident but if they don't pay your liabilities you can always sue AAA because they list that link. I just sued a guy in small claims court for a fender bender and got $5100 from AAA. I could have gotten more if I had BS medical bills ect. The guy did not have a chance with his blue collar arguments in front of the judge. Damn I am good.
Will read your posts on Monterrey. I am going to CDMX but primarily for sight seeing. I am not going to waste time chasing local talents. Hong Kong Club in Tijuana has hundreds of Mexico's hottest girls working every day, plus the escort scene is huge with lots of young, fresh, pretty students, even Asians, Russians, foreigners ect. All Tijuana's hottest girls work within a small bar block, easy to find and selection is always good weekdays or weekends. Escorts can be brought into hotels nearby.
Can't beat Tijuana for convenience and good girls selections.

Posts: 651Zygomatic. Going to NL
Zygomatic,
There is zero danger crossing the border to NL. I have been doing that for over 10 years, even in those years when it's considered "dangerous". I just made sure to cross during daylight hours including the time to walk to my hotel, Hotel Fiesta which is 5 short blocks away. I am Asian so I stick out like a sore thumb. No one tries to harass or hussle me except the salespeople of the pharmacies along the way.
If you are still apprehensive, maybe Bbond will meet you at Emilianos, the first bar on your right, only half a block after you exit the border crossing.
I will communicate with you about Monterrey in the Monterrey thread. Thanks.
