restaurants of mexicali:

1. for mariscos (seafood) there is nothing better than los arcos.
2. for italian there is nothing better than mandolinos.
3. for carne go to las pampas, which is a brazilian steakhouse with exquisite cuts of meats.
4. for a great meal in a romantic setting, go to el aquaducto at hotel lucerna.
5. for antojitos (traditional mexican food) with live mariachis, go to el serape.
6. for chinese....there are too many to list here.

if you can tell me a little about her such as her age , education, employment, etc. i can give you suggestions for where to take her dancing after dinner.

I agree the taxi from IPL is very high. You might try calling a
cab company in Calexico and tell them you need a ride to the border. Only other option is to have someone give you a ride into El Centro. Cab service in the valley is hit or miss.
Other option is to rent and driving in MXL is not that bad, get insurance.

While reading back through the previous posts, some member mentioned the Imperial airport is 20 minutes away from Mexicali, is this correct?

All of the Taxi services out of Imperial Airport are a complete rip off. They will probably charge somewhere in the neighborhood of $60-80 to get to the Calexico border crossing (about 12 miles away). They once charged a neighbor of mine $30 to go 2 miles to his house in Imperial itself.

Unfortunately if you don't have anybody to pick you up (or make friends with someone on the plane), the only other option is to rent a car from Hertz or Avis...and if you're going to Mexicali, you'll have to buy the additional insurance.

If I were in town that week, I'd offer to pickup up.... but I'm away.

Experienced monger, but will be in Mexicali for the first time on Thursday, April 3rd through Sunday, April 6th on business. I will also be staying at Hotel Calafia. I have read back through all the posts until May of 2007, but as we all know things can change in a hurry which is the basis of this post. Will someone be kind enough to give me a rough draft of an itinerary of places to go that are in a reasonable distance from my hotel, as I will be dependent on taxis for transportation. I am looking for the non pro bars/nightclubs, where free lancers might be hanging out, lower end strip clubs/puta bars, and where I can checkout the street walkers. I just have always had more fun in these types of places, rather than going to the higher end establishments. I feel you get more GFE at them, and they obviously are more economical on all fronts. I cannot just walk in and pick a girl out and go directly to a room or my hotel. I have to party with them and develop some type of chemistry, which is the GFE. The spanish language is not a problem for me.

Thanks Adaptable for the info. I did call Holtville Cab, and they quoted me $60 to $70.00 dollars one way, which is rediculous. If anyone has any alternative ideas, suggestions, or is interested in picking me up I will pay $40.00 dollars for a one way trip. In advance thank you for your responses.

When you check into Hotel Calafia, be sure to register as husband and wife and make up a Spanish name like Maria, Guadalupe, etc for you wife. This makes it a lot easier to bring your new wife to the hotel if you so choose.

I'm staying at Hotel Calafia and the address is 1495 Justo Sierra Dr Mexicali Mexicali, Baja California. Your help is much appreciate.

If you look through this thread you probably find the names if not the locations of the strip bars. Two off the top of my head are Miau Miau on Reforma at Mexico and Guau Guau which is on Benito Juarez past Lazaro Cardenas.

Hey Mexicali Jack,

Thanks for the info thats awesome.

I can't wait to go.

**Mexicali Jack** · 03-14-08 00:48

Calafia is a nice hotel so enjoy. You are quite close to Bar San Diego BSD so grab a taxi. BSD is on Rio Culican. Titty bars on Mexico Street back toward the border.

Once on the INTERNET go to a mapping program like mapquest.
On left-hand side of main page is...Maps Outside US & Canada, click on that.
Goto International and click
At Country pick out Mexico from the list and then type in MEXICALI.
Adjust the scale and start at the border as that starts ZONA ROJO.
The bars are easy to find...after crossing POE bear right, turn right for cheap
bars and bear right and turn left on Mexico St for titty bars. Its that easy!

I've found that a LOT of the pricing depends on ME. I've never paid more than $250 to take a girl to my hotel after she got off work, and this means that she stayed for most of the next day. I've even had some girls stay through Sunday night, for example, if I picked them up on a Friday night. Saturday night turned into 'date night' with her skipping work and us having dinner, visiting a disco or listening to live music in a bar, etc. You have to work it, and be somewhat charismatic and presentable. IMHO, $300 to blow your wad once is ridiculous, unless you are truly a very unattractive person or a sucker.

There are guys who will pay this and it ruins things for the rest of us. Personally I work it, find the one that likes your looks, treat her nice, buy her a few drinks and go back often always to the same girl,,,after a while you will be getting a GFE at a reasonable price.

I pay $20-25 for SG's & splurged once paying $50 for a GFE with a solid 8 BG...but I am admittedly "codo"..
