Medellin Reports

[O Velho]

Best middle eastern food I have ever had. It is owned by an Israeli, Shlomi Something. Try the Marrakech wings. Reasonably priced. Also, best wine I have had in Medellin. (Kaiken Malbec from Mendoza.)

I believe those empanadas, which I suspect are those fried things you put hot sauce or ají on, are actually on calle 9, not calle 10. Also on calle 9, just across the street, are those two places to get a great breakfast, just a block up from the main street, which is 43a, Cra. Poblado I believe. On calle 10, apart from Mondongos, just two blocks or so further up and on the same side of the street, there is a great restaurant catering to the locals, at least great for breakfast.

I'd like to know your thought: which is less expensive between Medellin and Lima for fucking, enjoying oneself and living for 2 weeks?. But particularly expenses for fucking.

For overall general expenses (food, taxis, hotel/apartment) Lima may still be a little cheaper than Medellin, but not that much. Your question may not have a definite answer. How many girls/pops do you need in a day? And what type/quality of girls? I do think MDE is a much better monger destination than LIM if one of the goals is frequent GFE experiences, and not simply spending as little as possible. I haven't found any source in Lima that has offered anything like the duo I used on my last trip of romancelatina girls and mansion girls for combination of reasonable (not budget) value, attractiveness of girls, and consistent GFE performance. I'm not an expert on budget options but Lima does have them in abundance.

Some Lima guys have had assistance from David_33 and are happy with his girls and I hoped for an introduction or two on my last trip there- but I was unable to get his help so still can't speak to that. GFE is reported but I do know his chicas are over 200 soles so not budget either.

Civilian girls is something else if it is your thing, Lima is a super destination for that. My dates with regular girls are almost always a nice time and can be done very cheaply, but for me only a small percentage of the girls do I end up fucking, and if I do it sometimes takes 2 or 3 dates or a follow up visit. Very often either I or the girl loses interest first. But for me these dates are part of the vacation experience I enjoy no matter what may or may not happen with a girl. But if your plan is to date civs in the early evening just for the company and likely not getting laid, so then needing to go out later for a professional fuck, then your expenses obviously are going up as opposed to simply P4P.

Except for the Trocadaro in Lima, and Of course it is the lowest of the low with even some grand mothers working at the Troc so I hate to even mention the place, but I do try to give accurite info. The best value for sexo is MDE

Beautiful girls in the MDE Casas for as low as 30K for 30 minutes. The mid range strip clubs in MDE offer great value compared to the Lima clubs.

Also the street walkers in Mira Flores (the best section in Lima) are terrible compared to MDE SW's. In Lima for almost every locale you need a cab while a guy who knows how to operate in MDE needs only the Metro for all the downtown Casas.

As far as expense other than sex I would rate Lima a little cheaper, but for me the added airfare and travel time all make MDE my number spot in Latin American. Of course I still have not been to Brazil yet.

Ok, guys, I was able to get the info on that Mid-Eastern place I ate at:

El Tabun
Carrera 33 No. 7-99
El Poblado
phone: 311-8209

Highly recommended!

In Parque Lleras there is a Middle Eastern Restaurant called Lebanese. Or at least The sign on the outside says that. Great food. Had the multi-dish meal which brought 14 different mini versions of popular dishes. It's about half block down from the middle of the Parque Lleras center park but I forget which street. It might be down from Restaurant Lomo's (which has excellent steaks as well).

Never been to this one, but in Laureles there is Fenicia which also features Middle Eastern cuisine, Cra. 73 #2-41 (Ave Jardin).

BTW- Aside from Middle Eastern food, someone mentioned eating at Mondongos on Calle 10 (on the edge of Parque Lleras). My suggestion is going there for lunch Monday through Friday to see some beautiful executive type women and office secretaries having lunch around noon. Lots of high heels and nylons & skirts and formed pant outfits as opposed to just jeans. Oh and the food is pretty decent and at a good price.

Another well kept non-secret is Dodger Dogs right next to La Triada. Dodger Dog has excellent Bar b Que Pork Ribs!

BTW- La Triada is good for lunch or dinner during the week but absolutely Shitty in my opinion on a Friday or Saturday night for dinner. Why? Horrible service when busy. More than once had to wait 15 to 20 minutes for a fresh beer and they practically sneer at bringing prepagos. I have even seen them turn away guys with girls feigning that the tables are reserved to keep out the prepago/monger scene on Friday and Saturday nights.

Also for great snacking or even a meal during the afternoon try some excellent Empanadas on Ave 10 just 1/2 block up from Ave Poblado (half block down from Mondongos). Mmm Mmm good eating! Take some to go, the girls love them to snack on and especially good late night if you have a microwave handy. Excellent picante sauce given to you to go. Standing room only at the little shop front.

Now going down Calle 10 and crossing Ave Poblado is Parque Poblado where the cabbies hang out. Go right on the 1st street parallel to Ave Poblado about 1 & 1/2 blocks (1/2 block past Calle 9) and you will see on your left a Mexican/Italian combo restaurant (it's a one way street). EXCELLENT food!

Well enough writing, think I'll go and grab a bite somewhere.

Thank you for this highly informative post (as usual). It is very timely for me. Few days ago I asked for a empanada recommendation and no one responded. I was starting to give up.

Had a great Middle-East style dinner somewhere in El Poblado, thanks to another Forum member's hospitality. I actually had gotten tired of baby beef.

And with that 20k they need to pay Almuerzo, Buseta and mintuos, Now add that up! Fucked-up life.

Most don't buy minutes.. It's free incoming. That's why they call you and then immediately hang up expecting you to call back.

[Hioctane]

Adds up to what? $10?

You spend $700 on a flight, and you cry over $10?

If you can save the money, why not save it instead of throwing it away? My flight is $300. But hey, if you feel like you must spend double on a specific airline, that's your choice.

[Hioctane]

there is much down time on anyone's trip to medellín. lot's of guy are recommending la 70, but short of that, i am working on identifying places in el pobalado and parque lleras. i don't care how f. lazy you are, if you don't make it to aguacates, right next to the actual parque lleras, near the dann carlton but on the other side of the park, you are missing out big time. and right next to the aguacate, is the bar cheers. i love this place! dollar and a half beers, american blues music, the best, continuous. in addition, check out restaurants like mondongos on calle 10, two little breakfast places, and the places across the street, on calle 9, more restaurants on 10a.

i don't know about you.. i don't get enough time to sleep! between casas and hanging out with amigas and favoritas during the day and drinking and partying at night, i barely get 5 hours of sleep a night.

[Vitrea]

Slamcity. Yes, that's her.

Vitrea. I am really sorry. I should have taken a card. Its just up a hill from Parque Lleiras, I believe, and you could probably ask anybody. I'm sure there are not a lot of (probably not even one other) mid. Eastern restaurants. We were taken there by a fellow Forum member so if he's reading this maybe he can give out the address. Wish I could be more helpful.

Now it's off to Rio, ENOUGH of this BBBJ bullshit!

Doc, another friendly forum member sent me the following PM. The directions were very precise so I thought others could benefit from the info. God, I love ISG.

"I think the place you are looking for is called "Byblos". The address is avenida Palmas (carrera 35) at the intersection with calle 18. It's the only place in Medellin I know of where they have lamb on the menu. I recommend the food. By the way, the taxi driver may have trouble finding it. It's in a Centro Comercial, with several other restaurants on top of a Carulla supermercado. Hope this helps. (They used to have another outlet in Oviedo, but it closed a month or so ago for lack of business)."

[Menteng]

There is one also on the premises of the Carulla supermarket at Las Palmas. It is located in the part where other restaurants like Cuzco are. (This Carulla is, roughly, located between Palmitas and the Intercontinental hotel)

[Kid Brooklyn]

I used Capital One too.. but they also charge $1.50 per transaction. That adds up..
