Quito

[Sabor]

I went to the supermarket and handed them a 10. The person at the register had to go to the main area to get change for something I bought. Imagine you giving them a 50 or 100.

Most places won't accept 50 or 100's. I think maybe Supermaxi, the supermarket will take it and break 100 for you.

Panama and Ecuador use the US dollar as their own currency. The bad is any bill over $20 will lead to suspicion and is a burden to use in both countries. When I travel I just withdraw whatever I take in $20 bills. Ecuador is notorious in giving you change in $1 coin. At the end of the day you have 20 lbs of metal jingling in your pocket.

I worked as head of security of a mall the reason why they do not take such large bills is simple even though we run on the dollar, there is no branch of the FED here, so the bills are not FDIC insured if some goofy cashier takes a large bill and it turns out to be fake the store docks it out the workers pay, simple as that so if some minimum wage worker that earns at most 500 gets dock 50 or 100 that is either 10% or 20% of the take-home pay they will not take that chance.

Don't bring 50 or 100. I never tried it, but most places probably won't take it. It was a no name place that kept my ID. I don't remember the name.

Which place kept it?

Also I was told that the size of the bills matter in Ecuador. Has anyone noticed any issues with 100's or 50's or should 20's be the largest bills used?

They just check you passport. Usually flash it to the video security camera and give it back to you. I was only at one place that kept it. It got me scared that they would lose it.

Do they take your passports at the door? What was the procedure you experienced to get in, besides of the ficha?

155 - the best club in my opinion. $25.50 to get in, includes a beer + 15 min with one of the girls. There are lots of hotties. Maybe 1:1 guy to girl ratio, but most guys aren't talking to the girls for some reason. I was easily able to score sessions with all of the girls I thought were the hottest. If I had to guess, there were 50-60 girls and an equal amount of guys.

Rojo Cafe - $3. 50 entry, $22 ficha. So it comes out to the same cost as 155, but you don't have to commit to a ficha without seeing the girls first. When I went, there were at most 8 girls, and probably 30 guys. Clearly 2nd fiddle to 155, but maybe a better place to go watch the soccer game if you don't want to get a ficha.

122 - $3. 50 entry, $20 ficha. This club has the best location if you're a tourist. You can walk from Mariscal (but not at night LOL). The club is lower class than the other 2 though. It's like a sweaty frat basement filled with lots of guys and chicas. Most chicas were not doable in my opinion. There are a few diamonds in the rough though, and I did have a good session with one I liked. Probably 30 girls and 50 guys when I was there.

Had a short two day trip to Quito this past weekend. Thanks to all the previous posters. My plan was to do one online girl and one club each of the two days. So much for best laid plans. The elevation took it's toll on me so in the end, only went to one club and visited only one online girl.

The club I went to was Club Mosq. Real nice club, like an upscaled lounge with about 30 girls there. Nice relax vibe to the place and many beautiful girls. The ficha was $24.00 and another $2. 00 for the room. I saw locals paying for the room so not a gringo tax. I went around 17:00 so not to crowded. I believe they open at 16:00. Part of the reason I like this club is because you can do the place at your own pace. If you want to relax on a couch, fine. If you want to talk to a girl fine. The girls are not pushy and they won't sit with you unless you call them over. A ladydrink is $10.00.

I picked a short girl with a large rack to sit with me. I believe her name was Carolina. She never asked for a drink but after a while I asked her if she wanted one. Said yes and a small cocktail glass came a little after. What was cool, what could be finished in two gulps, her drink lasted as long as my drink. Basically we spent about 20 minutes of getting to know each other. Went to the room after. After reading reports it seems like CBJ is the norm here and that's what I got. The good news is, she didn't mind kissing and FIV. Wasn't counting but I believe we were in the room for about 25 minutes. After the deed, I went back down to flirt with other girls but because I had the headache that I couldn't get rid of until I got back home, I didn't take anyone else up. Although I would have like to.

I really liked this club but it is in the north of the city and my uber cost was $7. 00 going there and $9. 00 coming back. If I ever come back to Quito, I will definitely come back to this club. Hopefully I can acclimate better next time.

Next day went the online route. Checked out a website that had girls ranging from #40.00 to $300.00 per hour. Many girls have reviews on this website but I noticed none of the girls at the #300.00 range had any. I was surprised that some of the $100.00 girls had reviews. I picked a girl at $40.00 with good reviews. Although the reviews said her looks were good, I thought her looks were average but at that price range I lowered my expectations and glad that I did. When searching, I put in the filter that I was looking for a girl who does BBBJ without any extra charge. This girl fit the bill and her service was excellent. Would I go this route again? Maybe but after being at a nice club the night before with all the ladies in front of you, I don't think so. Or maybe I'll try a girl with a higher price range. The higher price girls did show face photos, just not sure how accurate they are.

To summarize, I think Quito is an underrated mongers destination. If my calendar for next year wasn't filled out already, I would return here.

I was updating the Map, but can't locate a few that you mentioned.

How do you get access to this map? When I click I get an access denied.

Hi Doom,

Many thanks for the concise and clear explanation. I now understand.

You rock!

Hi fellow mongers. Pardon my ignorance but what is a ficha? I understand that it may be some kind of token but what is it used for and what does it get you when you have already paid for admission?

How is it used?

All my previous mongering has taken place in SEA and I intend to visit Ecuador next year.

A ficha is a token you are correct but is more apt to say that it is a form of the house to control the "independent contractors" time and give the customers a way for them not to complain later, you see back before the ficha system in Ecuador every girl set a rate for herself and either people took it or not, however, people starting complaining "this girl agreed to do XYZ and did not and she is charging x" so this caused customer dissatisfaction and the establishments in Quito started the "ficha" system the house sets the rate, you pay for the ficha at the front desk, you go with the ficha to the girl and you get a "service" now she may try to hussle you for "extras" because the "ficha" is the basic service but really it is a way to mitigate some of the arguments and chaos when you get horny men that have drank way too many beers, it never took hold in the coast per se, they have other methods of control over here but Quito and the mountains pioneered the system.

I'll be in Quito at the end of October and I'll do some mongering while I'm down there (and I'll report back). What I want to know is where to find the hottest chicas (aren't we all &#128517. From reading past reports, it seems like the popular chongos are club 122, club 155, and red coffee. With the latter 2 being the higher end ones. Will I be able to find a chica who is an 8+ (I. E. 18-25, in good shape, pretty face) in any or all of these clubs? My budget is much higher than $30 usd. So I'm wondering if there are better clubs in Quito. I obviously wouldn't want to pay more if the chicas in these chongos are already tops or go to a tourist honeypot for no reason.

I'm aware that maybe I could find a hotter girl using the internet, but I don't find that fun. I prefer real life.

There is no such thing as "better clubs" in Quito why? I am glad you asked the border of Colombia is merely 2 hours away which means a lot of Colombians and Venezuelans come to Quito first before they move on to Cuenca the coast or Guayaquil so it has become a race to the bottom.
