Mexicali

[Silver Rabbit]

Proceeded to San Diego Bar on Wednesday night. Arrived around 9:15. Probably 12 chicas available. Several new girls. Check out Kelli nice tiny spinner, my buddy Doc Holliday said it was the best experience he had in quite some time. I believe he stated and I quote "WOW". Camila was there and Paola. At least one other small spinner. Business was slow, or so Castillo the waiter stated. Doc Holliday said that his chica showered before action started and then proceeded to lick all over his body. Nice CBJ, CG and RCG. Great Doggie style action. He even tipped her and he usually doesn't do that so it must have been great. Camila was great. Nice BBBJ and then CG with great sexual positions to completion. Lots of cuddling and conversation. Rates were as usual $50 + $20 for room, total $70. We then took taxi for tacos and crossed the border. No pedestrian crossers and no line of vehicles, the border was completely clear and no waiting at all. At first I couldn't believe what I was seeing. All in all a fantastic time.

finally visited the Bar SD, ... it was a monday night, kinda slow, there were about 10 ladies there around 9pm..

i met one light skinned latina, claudia, 26, kinda looked like Elvira from the 80s?? great D cup natural rack, white skin, black hair,
offered $55 for her and $15 for the room, for 30 minutes..

Overall pretty good experience, some light kissing , and licking, she did some Deep BJ and ball sucking and licking.
different positions, vocal..

Overall a pretty good experience, .. will check out the other bars in the area.

So ... is it feasible to spend the night in one of these fine establishments?

I can't answer your question but I can say that I don't recall anyone ever posting either here nor on any of the other boards about spending the night in a hotel de paso in Mexicali so you will be a pioneer. What do you see as the advantage to doing so? Price, accesibility, etc?

If you want to be close to the SG action there is the Hotel Chinesca on same street, Juarez, as Nuevo Pacifico.

Jack, it's supposed to be 100 degs there this coming weekend...Do you think there will be the same numbers and selection of chicas? thanks in advance.

One never knows. With gas prices what they are and food expense going up the working and non-working girls will be out in full force. As summer approaches things tend to start later i.e. after sundown. My final answer is YES, YES and YES! I like late Fridays (pay day). I start getting tanked up around 4pm then cruise for newbies and if nothing on the streets hit the bars in zone and if zona dead go to BSD.

Hit the zone yesterday and women were all over the place and cheap. My wingman found something quickly and I just sat on a car hood and was approached 4 times for a BJ or anything. Weather was not that hot. Life is good.

El Nuevo Pacifico is on Juarez which runs east/west and 16 de septiembre is on Altamirano which runs north/south. Hotel Kennedy is on Morelos which runs north /south and is east of Altamirano.. All 3 are south and west of Lopez Mateos

Thanks. Part of my confusion stemmed from th fact that there are two "Av Juarez" in Mexicali, the street near the border, and the boulevard to San Felipe.

It looks like all of these hotels are clustered near the border and not too far from the more upscale clubs. So ... is it feasible to spend the night in one of these fine establishments?

[Reinaldo]

Its unclear from reading the posts here exactly where the street girl hotels, such as Nuevo Pacifico and 16 de septiembre are located, particularly in relation to the more upscale bars near the border.

How do you get to the SG hotels? And, are any of them useful for actually spending the night? If not, are there decent hotels near that area?

Just wanted to add a few good spots to eat in Mexicali for anyone that might not know these already.

Carvao, Brazilian Steakhouse... I like it better than Las Pampas. Great service, awesome meats and salad/pasta bar. Sometimes has live music. Great place to take a date.

Las Brasas, tacos and a few other mexican dishes. Nice relaxed place with awesome tacos, and fairly cheap for a sit down place.

Fontana Pizza, italian food, real good food and not too expensive. There are 2 locations in Mexicali. An older smaller place and a newer fancier building.

A motel recommendation... Motel Olimpo, it's on the highway that heads towards San Luis. Extremely clean place with large firm beds, some rooms have round beds and some have jacuzzis. They rent by the 4 hour block and last time I was there it was cheaper than it had been during previous visits. Around $18 for 4 hours.

Try the LAGUNA AZUL for great shrimp. It's about 1 mile from Hotel Lucerne
and a good place to take a date. I like it better than Los Arcos.

[Joe Arturo]

The only place that I have ever been hassled for my clothing in Mexicali was the Karioke Bar in Plaza Mandarin. They wouldn't let me in because I was wearing shorts. And it was in the middle of the summer in Mexicali.

Yes. Hotel Lucerna also has an Italian restaurant. But if you want Italian, there is none better in Mexicali than Mandolino's.

The food in El Aquaducto at Hotel Lucerna is extremely good and it is a very romantic atmosphere.

Hotel Lucerna also has a little nightclub called La Capilla (the chapel) that has a live group playing a variety of music including rock. Most mid 20 year olds that I have taken there are not that impressed. It is really a good place to pick up the 40 year old non pros.

If she likes rock....La Mentirosa has the best rock en espanol group in Mexicali on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. It can get quite crowded. And on Monday nights Hi Ole has a decent rock group.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Thanks a lot for the help Joe, btw do this places have a dress code? I heard that many places in Mexico would not let you in if you are not in a suit, or mistreat you. I really don't feel like wearing a suit unless for work, but dont want to get mistreat it either. She is in her mid 20s and likes rock music. Doesnt Lucerna have 2 restaurants? I'm thinkin of hittin that place, hows the food?

greetings to all,

i'm a longtime lurker, first time poster. many thanks to joe, jack and rico for your dependably reliable and useful info. i humbly request corrections of any inaccurate info below. i've confirmed that most of the places referenced are visible in wikimapia or added them myself. below is a newbie's itinerary for sampling mexicali's treats. if you get lost, just keep in mind which direction north and go until you get to the border fence and follow the line of cars back home.

as you enter from calexico by foot or car, the main street with the train tracks down the middle is lopez mateos. say "centro" to the taxi driver. to the right (south) of lopez mateos from the border to the first big traffic circle is the "zona roja" or just "la zona", the red light district. it extends from lopez mateos to the new river (looks like a big ditch). if you see the new river, you've gone too far and are in the least safe part of mexicali. mexicali is safe, don't act stupid and you'll be fine. there are 3 types of attractions in the zona: bars, hotels, and clubs with aspirations of class. they're all mixed together in the zona. most blocks have at least one of each. i can't think of a single block in the zona without a bar. walk in, decide whether to invest in a drink or not, sit back, relax and observe. i dislike loud music, so these places are hit and miss for me, but you can check out the scene in each with no stress or danger. i haven't seen girls younger than mid-20s in these bars, but if you want to hang out beforehand this is the place. activity seems to start slowly at around sundown, with most activity around 11pm-midnight. prices depend on the quality and motivation of the girl, but i've never been gouged in this setting.

there are 6-8 hotels in the zona. as far as i know, only the hotel chinesca is a normal, no-hourly-rental hotel. it's not bad for 30 bucks, but the ac is noisy and it's right above a place with blaring banda music into the wee hours if you intend to get any real sleep. all the other hotels in the zona are for private business: hotel kennedy, hotel alto pacifico, hotel paris, hotel 16 de septiembre, etc. if you see girls just hanging around in the lobby or stairwell, they're waiting for customers. i want to plug mexicali here: you'll never be aggressively hustled like in almost every other part of the world. if you just shake your head "no", she won't bother you. you're free to walk, check them out, and partake or not without pressure. the nearest regular hotels to the zona besides the chinesca are hotel del norte and hotel imperial on the north side of lopez mateos. hotel del norte is fine. i have no experience with hotel imperial. the girls in the lobbies will all start the bidding at either 200 or 300 pesos, depending on their motivation, appearance and how much money they smell on you. for most of them, this opening offer gets you a missionary, most clothes still on, do all the work yourself encounter. some of the older or less attractive ones will perform more for the basic price. almost none of them will negotiate more than the above basics in the lobby. are they concerned about monitoring or peer pressure? i don't know. almost all of them will negotiate more in the room, although you usually have to ask. this goes against all the "negotiate all the details before paying anything" rule that i'd recommend anywhere else in the world. you risk the $20 on the basic plan, but i've found some real pyts that cudda/shudda been in classier places for a bargain. the majority that will negotiate, will usually add on 100pesos per service: getting nekkid, showing enthusiasm, cbj, bbbj, and so on up the ladder. i don't know their limits, but they will usually (75% of the time) go as far as mine. for off-peak (24hours? not sure) hours, the hotel well seems never dry, but the quality can sure be wanting. like the bars, the number and quality of girls start improving at sundown with peak just before midnight.

you can identify the clubs by the guy sitting on a bar stool on the sidewalk by the door. i recommend the same method as the bars: a quick glance to decide whether to invest in a drink, then take it from there. the clubs are either straight strip clubs (look for the stage with a pole lined with seating! ) or dance clubs. in the strip clubs, all the usual rules apply: ladies' drinks cost you, negotiate your price, and away you go. in the dance clubs, any girl alone is looking for a sugar daddy. girls without in groups in the dance clubs are non-pros just out on the town. no harm in trying for a freebie. (was it jack who said any girl in the zone is available? ymmv, but i think the dance clubs are exceptions to this.) la taberna is generally a dance club, the most crowded. however, it does have some odd arrangement in the back room with a barlike stage where girls get up, dance, shake their stuff and go for the crowd's applause. i'm still trying to figure out how that room works. any help guys? read earlier reports of violence in la taberna to make your own decision, but i feel safe there as long as i'm not hitting on some guy's girl or being otherwise obnoxious. none of the clubs come to life before 8pm. their busiest times are around midnight to 2am on friday-sunday, not sure on weekdays.

two last topics concerning the zona: streetwalkers and gays. there are occasionally working ladies just walking around. they're usually either looking for car dates (not as common) or going to a hotel/bar with more passersby to work from. however, you'll also see the druggies, sickies, etc. if you're too drunk or it's too dark to notice, if she's walking around and offers anything for less than $20/200pesos, it's just not worth the risk. i never see them in the hotel lobbies or bars. my theory is that for any of a number of reasons, these girls are not welcome in the bars or hotels. there is at least some gay/tv activity every night in the zona, concentrated in the block around hotel paris, hotel mirage, and the newly opened jangla club. the paris and mirage seem to vary from all female to all male, never mixed as far as i can tell. i can't figure out their schedules if they have one.

leaving the zona roja, the next area to hit is "devil's triangle". that's a gringo term, don't try it on the taxi drivers. just tell them "miau miau". going due north from the big traffic circle bordering the zona, turn right at the big cathedral onto reforma. from the first intersection, you can see miau miau, kaoz, madonnas, porkys and the hotel reforma. i agree with the consensus opinions on all of them. in defense of miau miau, i've never been disappointed by the girls' appearance, friendliness, skill or attitude. it is the most expensive place in mexicali, but you can't go wrong with whatever catches your eye there. prices for the hottest of the hot go from $20 for a private dance in the back ("un privado") to $300 for 2-3 hours of blissful gfe in the hotel reforma across the street.

from there, continue south away from the border along lopez mateos for about 3 miles to the juncture with benito juarez. you'll cross lazaro cardenas to get there. say "guau guau" to the taxi". at the juncture of lopez mateos and benito juarez, you'll find guau guau and excalibur described earlier. dependable entertainment.

head back 1/2 mile north to lazaro cardenas, turn east (right). about 2 miles down on the right, just before the gigantic mall is a lot with 5 or six box-shaped clubs of various monochrome exteriors all next to each other. as far as i know, they're all non-pros. tell the taxi "plaza revolucion".

continuing east on lazaro cardenas a couple miles, on the left is the much-discussed el establo. it's just before the giant "can't miss it" coke factory. they have theme nights: wednsday is "little cowgirls", thursday is "bikini", friday is "baby doll" (lingerie). not sure about the rest of the week, but you get the idea. i agree with the recent reports of the upsurge in quality and quanity of the girls here. $77 buys you an hour of bliss with the cowgirl, bikini babe or baby doll of your choice. friday to sunday evenings after 10pm there are 10-30 girls. other evenings there are 5-15 girls. for the moment, this is the best value for your money in mexicali. very relaxed atmosphere.

from el establo, backtrack west on lazaro cardenas to benito juarez. turn right (north) on benito juarez. 1/4 mile north on the right side is the big university ("uabc"). just past the university on the right and the giant mcdonalds on the left begins the trendy bar, club and restaurant district, or "zona hotelera" to the taxi guys. i'm sure there are pros trolling for local rich guys here, but i've only been here a couple times and can't give useful advice. expect quality music, food and drinks in this area, but don't expect bargains. this district stretches about a mile from the uabc north mostly on the left (west) side of the street that eventually merges with justo sierra. if you reach the border fence, you've left the zona hotelera. if you head back toward the border crossing along madero you'll pass by cleopatras.

there are four other places of note not on this torus route: mosca 1 ("aviacion"), mosca 2 ("mosca dos"), bar san diego, and cleopatras. bsd has been thoroughly and accurately described many times in this forum. i agree that it is the most relaxed and dependable (in terms of quality, price, and availability) site in mexicali. i don't know the moscas personally. any reports from the veterans? i last went to cleopatras several years ago, in 2000 $80 got you an hour of protected fun from a 8. 5/8. 5 chica.

i've never tried to order a "massage" by phone, but i'll toftt if i'm in the mood during the day.

to compare your results in these places, i'm a thin, 40-year old white guy who speaks spanish well enough to communicate but will never be mistaken for a local. i prefer to go as or with a wingman, but usually am in town by myself. i'd be especially honored to buy any of the senior members a drink! by the way, which member was walking around the zona rosa wednsday may 2, 2008 between 10pm and midnight? upper 50s, white guy, white shirt with horizontal thin red or orange stripes, cargo shorts.

as of may 13, i'm in mexicali.

for pure newbies to the region: mexicali is hot. i mean temperature. if you have never been to the desert and just arrived from michigan, the daytime heat will pummel you until you drop. stay in the ac. drink clean water regularly. avoid the direct sunlight. look at the faces of the people just hanging around outside in the daylight, they're just blank stares. that could be you. end of sermon.

be good, be safe, be happy.
