Is stopping for a visa on entering Tijuana a regular thing now? Can it be time consuming?

[Jackie888]

Medication is probably the best thing to bring back from Mexico. They have a very well developed health care system down there and the meds are much more affordable. I recommend Piri because the owner speaks great English and is domicile in San Diego which is common for many Mexican professionals, and the store itself is large and tidy unlike many of the hole in the wall pharmacies in Tijuana.

Taxi race car drivers are probably the biggest hazard to tourists other than the booby trapped potholes on the sidewalks. I tend go pick older gentlemen taxi drivers who has a family to think about before flooring his gas pedal. And I always keep my arms inside after buckling up since most of the streets do not have lanes.

Sunday. Wednesday, the girls work a staggered shift. Its their weekend. For example some get Sun-Mon off, some get Mon-Tues off, some Tues-Wed off. But one occasionally finds a HK girl moonlighting in Adelitas and vice versa. And sometimes the club hires an alley girl as a filler. It is very laid back compared to the weekends.

Wifi can be complimentary when you buy a girl a drink and ask her to give you the secret password. I guess you do fork over money for a drink, but the password stays in your system forever. However Wifi is weak in the Zona.

Some of the smaller Bars are fun, but just be aware that they do not have an attached hotel. So they are set up so that sex is usually done in the private VIP rooms in the back. It is illegal and some have been busted. I suspect that they were late on their contribution to the police union. If you want a girl to go to a hotel, you may have to buy a bucket of beer which is the equivalent cost to a VIP room. Then you walk her to a hotel in the distance. It is a real pain in the neck to get through the red tape and I instead tell the girl to meet me after her shift is over. So look at what building is attached to a bar so you will know what to expect.

Have fun everyone, keep your arms inside the cabs, and don't step in any pot holes.

Last time I was in Tijuana, I bought generic Viagra which was obviously fake. I want to buy a genuine pill. The guy in the bathroom at adelitas was selling one for $20. Where is a good place to buy real Viagra and what is the going rate?

Thanks.

If you have a Costco membership in the United States, you can bring your card to the Costco in Tijuana and get genuine Viagra in the original Pfizer packaging for around $10 to $11 for a 100 MG pill.

I used to get genuine Viagra at Tijuana's Costco, but now I just get generic Viagra at Piri Pharmacy for around $2 a pill (or 4 for around $4). Piri's storefront faces the Wax Museum, one block east of the Arch.

Its my first time on the west coast and staying here for a couple of weeks. On Monday I finally escaped all my responsibilities and made time to visit Tijuana. I had done extensive research on the places I would visit and how much money I was going to spend and pretty much knew what to expect with all the descriptions and stories I had read from this site. Even though my expectations where pretty high Adelitas and HK (the only two bars I visited) reached my expectations.

If you are new to Tijuana as I was here are some things that I didn't necessarily expected:

1-crossing the bridge: I parked near the bridge and it cost me 7 dllrs which was part of my budget but I didn't expect that it is a kind of long walk to the other side, there are a lot of people buses and stores around the border that it may be confusing where the actual crossing path is but just follow the herd of people. The other thing is, and someone correct me if I am wrong, if you are American they would ask for your passport and give you a kind of permit on which they take down your info and they would write how long are you staying and some other stuff. I don't know if I am suppose to give that permit back or just throw ir to the trash.

2-Tips Tips Tips: Be prepare to tip everyone, even the guys that only put on the robe on the girl when you are taking her upstairs or the guy who just knocks on the door when you are done. It may be only one dollar at a time and you may refuse to tip everyone but as a beginner I wasn't aware that girls and guys would come out of everywhere for those singles.

With those 2 things put of the way here is my real report:

I went on a Monday around 3 pm, decided to first enter Adelitas as a warm up since I heard it wasn't as food as HK. Sat near the stage, it was pretty empty but I was surprised on how many good looking girls where there. About 3 girls approached me, blew the first 2 and decided to buy a drink for the third one. Her name was Brenda, great tits and even better ass, with dark hair and real tall. We chatted for just a few min and out of nowhere she asked me if I wanted to go fuck, the price was 60 for 30 min. Declined since I wanted to spend my money on HK. She left the my table and I finished my drink and left to HK.

At HK As soon as I walked in they got me a drink, walked all the way to the foam show and sat down next to the bar, a waiter came by even though I already had a drink, he started recommending a girl for me and some other shit, so I told him to bring over this girl he was talking about. The girl was about 20 yrs real slim petite and tight body, 9/10 girl, her face was real pretty too but you could definitely find prettier girls in the bar. Her name was Haley or something like that. Chatted for a couple of minutes bought her a drink and tipped her two singles to just touch around, which is one of my disappointments of my trip because I kept watching other guys with girls literally dancing on their faces and making out, and here I was just doing some over the bra touching while she drank her beer. Don't get me wrong we definitely got along and the chat was fun at least, so I think it was just that I wasn't confident enough to grope around more. After she finished her drink took her upstairs for 80, straight to FS and finished real quick tbh haha I had been waiting for that day too long haha, but fuck it at least I enjoyed it while it last.

Came back downstairs and as I walk in the waiter from the beginning was giving the 'that's my man' look, motherfucker must give that look to everyone at the bar. Sat down and enjoy the view while the girl spend the last half our of her shift with me just chatting. I finished the drink and left quite happy but somewhat concern on how much money I had spent. I regret not staying a bit longer to do a second round but Its for the better cause now I have the cash to go again next week.

I'll be there next Monday or Tuesday, I go alone cause I made trip by myself so if any veteran is going those days let me know and I'll buy you a drink in exchange of some advice.

Question three. I know, simple crazy question but what items does one purchase to bring back stateside?

Thanks to all, just some newbie Tijuana questions.

At the USA border you are allowed to bring in one carton of cigarettes. Name brand cigarettes, like Marlboro or Camel, tend to cost around $55 and up per carton in the United States.

But be careful where you buy cigarettes in Mexico. If you go into a grocery store, or a liquor store (or just about any brick & mortar establishment) you will be buying cigarettes manufactured and packaged to be sold in Mexico. "Mexican Market" cigarettes are easy to spot. Their packaging looks different (contains pictures of people with diseases from smoking) and has different health warnings in Spanish.

But the "Duty Free" cigarettes, which are sold in duty free stores near the border (And by sidewalk vendors on Revolution Avenue) are packaged exactly like how the brands appear in USA Stores (except for the "Duty Free" additional printing on the. I buy a carton of cigarettes to bring back on every trip I make to Tijuana.

I don't smoke, but I have plenty of friends, neighbors and co-workers that do. They have all hated the few "Mexican" versions of their brands, the few times I bought cigarettes in Calimax. And they all tell me that the ones in "duty free" packaging are identical to what they smoke domestically.

Sidewalk cigarette vendors on Revo these days want about $28 to $35 for cartons of mainstream major brands. The guy with the sidewalk glass case at Caesars (selling duty frees) generally wants $5 to $10 more than the sidewalk vendors.

We've all had wild taxi rides in Tijuana, yesterday's ride to ZN was the scariest of my life. He hit 60 mph in several sections and grazed another taxi on the circle without flinching. The worst was on Negrete when he accelerated to 60 mph and blew the horn to clear a J-walking mother as she dragged her kids across the street, coming within about 3 feet of wiping them out.

As he dropped me off I tried to look at the driver's side damage, but he drove off too quickly. I have no idea why so many drive so crazy. It probably saved only 1 or 2 minutes
and now there are 2 damaged cars. It could easily have been much worse.

This was taxi Libre, has anyone figured if they are worse drivers than the others?

First thanks to the guys who post in this forum. I am a la Republica DominicanA vet so first trip to Tijuana.

First question. Amazon sells a Telcel sim card with minutes and data for $40, is this the way to go?

I am booked for 4/7 - 4/11 at Hotel Ticuan. I know it is off the strip but I prefer a quiet place which I hope it is.

Question two. I am not into the let's go upstairs thing so where would be the best place to find a lady that would enjoy coming to my hotel, a drink in the lobby before we go upstairs.

Question three. I know, simple crazy question but what items does one purchase to bring back stateside?

Thanks to all, just some newbie Tijuana questions.

I'll leave the SIM questions to others. I have the Mexico plan on my Verizon phone and it works wonders.

If you're looking for ladies to meet, have a drink, and go to your room in Ticuan, you're barking up the wrong tree. None of the bars in the Zona allow the ladies to leave during their shift, and they must use the hotel associated with said bar. Some (a very few) of the alley girls will go to other hotels; my educated guess is that none will venture as far as Ticuan with somebody they don't know. If you must do the lobby / drink think (and, personally, I prefer that, too) you must either get an escort or book a lady from Craigslist.

An escort is much easier to use, but you will pay a rather hefty premium for convenience. There are about a bazillion CL ladies who will be glad to meet at Ticuan, have a drink, go upstairs. I, and many here, have done that many times. If your speak Spanish it will be a definite plus. Expect to pay from 800 pesos to 1500 pesos for an hour + with a CL lady, depending on age and weight. Probably 2 x to 3 x that for an escort.

Mexican liquor is cheaper than the states, so things like tequila and Kahlua are good to take home. If you poke around you can find good leather items, if you're into that. I used to wear cowboy boots and always picked up mine in Mexico. For something more portable, have a photo taken of you and the striped donkeys. You can't go wrong with that.

How many minutes and how much data? There are many places that sell Telcel sim cards in Tijuana.

1.5 GB valid for 15 days, starts at your arrival in Mexico.

• The SIM comes with a Mexican mobile number with free incoming calls.

• The SIM can be refilled anywhere and reused for future trips.

• Extremely reliable plug and play product with fast and dedicated customer support.

• Nano sims are LTE capable (when LTE network is available).

Thanks for the replies about parking & tipping. I'll write up a report once I get back from the Zona next week. I'm interested to see how things are on a Sunday & Monday, since I've only been down on Fridays so far and everything was pretty packed. I checked out HK around noon on Saturday before I left about 3 weeks ago and was surprised that there were still plenty of good options, and it wasn't so crazy busy.

If one has unique taste and prefers obese, stupid, old, ugly, hairy, smelly women and lying, cheating, greedy, rude meseros in filthy, run down dive bars with grimy furniture, why should anyone stop him. Let them stay away and keep their foul body odor away from Hong Kong.

The old women at these dive bars are so ugly, they look like freaks. They are just insults to anyone with good taste. It's a joke how they can sell any drinks to any guys. It's a waste of time and money to sit around looking at ugly, rude, stupid women. But some guys think it's smart to do it, hehehe.

Some of these guys are probably bar touts, trying to lure gringos into dive bar so they can be fleeced, robbed and infected with Mexico's incurable diseases.

El Capitan happens to speak Spanish lovingly so lots of beautiful HK chicas are in love with him, to the jealousy of dumb losers.

Been going to the Zona for a good 7 years now. Twice a month usually on the weekends. Although I read this forum for the updated content from time to time, I had to jump in on this topic.

Tastes are subjective to say the least. Some like older more reasonably priced Chicas at these clubs. Or else they would cease to exist. And by reasonable I mean bottom floor prices for the same services you can get at the other well know clubs.

Playboy has been my de-facto club for several years. Horribly mis-managed, no set schedule for the girls to dance on stage, Extremely super aggressive meseros, old furniture, etc. But the main reason I keep going back is due to the amount of extras for just a couple of beers. By extra I mean you can practically give these girls a full body inspection with barely no resistance at all. Except if you try to finger them, jajaja.

Usually Mon. -wed is super slow at the Playboy, and great bargains are found! Upon entry go straight to the bar PERIOD. This throws off a stalking mesero in his tracks. Buy the ficha beers downstairs, therefore just 1 beer minimum for the gals and not 2 upstairs.

I can write a book on this place, but it is up to you my fellow mongers to have the balls to pull these things off.

Hello folks, been out a while, nice to be back.

Parking. On the last exit prior to Mexico, the first parking lot when making a right charges $7 Mon.-Thursday, and $15 Friday-Sunday. It is very secured with private security doing patrols in the AM hours. The catch is that it tolls from 10 am -10 am regardless of when you park. Good luck crossing the border in the morning and making it back in time. (can't remember the rate for Sunday, it is either $7 or $15).

Bars other than HK or Adelitas. It is best to park yourself on the bar. If you like a girl, pull her to the bar. This area belongs to the bartender and the waiter will leave you alone. Actually, this is preferred at HK and Adelitas also, at least by me unless I am dealing with a favorite waiter.

Complaints are to be reported to the proper boss which is the club manager and not security. Please complain. If not, you are promoting that type of behavior. And you will be taken advantage of again because they know who to pick on.

HK Coupons are honored. So cut them out. However the appetizer is actually a bite of the food on the naked girl that is wheeled around HK. Probably want to bring Pepto Bismo because a hundred filthy hands will have been on the appetizer before you put it in your mouth.

HK Quality is probably the best. They actually have a weight limit because I have met girls in other bars that were "sent down" for being over weight, and returned to HK once they lost weight. Just know that the darker lighting a bar is, the uglier the girls are. But if you're willing to have sex with the lights off, then who cares right?

Kissing upstairs is almost guaranteed if she kisses you in the bars. A statement that she will give everything upstairs is a lie. Trust me on this one. Latin girls are not shy about public affection.

Tropical waiters are assholes. Exception are the females waitresses and a short dude number 25.

Tips are mostly disregarded by the girls. Unlike the waiters who live on tips, the girls I've been with don't care. They will take it, but you can tell that they feel kind of cheapen by it. If you want to make an impression, offer her dinner which is about $5-10. There is something magical about dinner and sex I guess.

Hope this helps.

[Caprese7]

I will try to answer your first question for you. I used to park (my first 2 or 3 visits) in those $20-$30 per day spots, but then I found a new location on my last couple of visits that I like to use. It is called "Holiday Motor Lodge and Parking". The fee is about $6 or $7 per day, and I have not had any issues yet with this spot. It is near the border (5 minutes or so) and a Cambio (money exchange) place as well which is convenient. The address (I believe) is 672 San Ysidro Blvd. And they allow you up to 2 days at that rate I think. So, you might want to give this place a try based on the both price and location. Hope this helps -.

Hey guys,

Planning my 3rd trip down to the Zona with my buddy and we're planning to stay at Cascadas from Sunday afternoon to Tuesday morning. I've paid for the lots near the border and end up spending $24-30 a day to park.

1) Any cheaper parking options you could recommend? Maybe getting an uber from some other lot over to the border? I don't want to drive across.

2) Should I be tipping these ladies over and above the $80 fee? I didn't tip the first time and feel bad about it because she put in a much better performance than other HK girl I dealt with. I'll post in HK's section about my experiences there.

3) Will Adelitas chicas go up to Cascadas?

Bottom line is I had a great experience back in October at HK with "Leah," who had the Spanish equivalent of "Only God can judge me" tattooed across her shoulder blades. I saw her dancing on stage and spontaneously said to myself "Jesus Christ. " A guy and his girlfriend grabbed her up when she got offstage, but I found her again closer to 4 AM on a Saturday morning. Fantastic body like a go go dancer and very pretty face. I'd rate her a solid 8-8. 5 - well beyond my high expectations. Decent enough English and a really sweet girl. I bought her a drink and we chatted as she gave me a little lap dance and encouraged me to feel her up. She made me feel very at ease and comfortable given that it was my first time and I was visiting solo. She said she had two kids, but I think that's physically impossible based on her flawless physique. $80. No kissing, but she made that clear before we went upstairs, and she wasn't thrilled when I tried FIV, so I backed off, but on the whole she was otherwise very fun, especially compared to the colder chica I dealt with about a month ago (didn't get her name, unfortunately). I need to go for a personality / fun match over trying to find the hottest chica in there (although with Leah I had a great mix of both, but I couldn't find her again last time). Lesson learned. The next day I grabbed a blond chica from the alley and she was very sweet. I paid $20 for a BJ only and tipped her $5 and paid $5 for the room since I had already checked out of Cascadas. Also a nice girl, but no English or real interaction. I'll do a better job next time of getting names and more details.

Thanks all! Have fun!
