[Member #4722]

Does anyone know the Spanish words for each kind of Taco- beef, pork, chicken, etc?

Beef is carne chicken is pollo pork is adobada.

Saturday evening, my food was served a bit on the chilly side at Azul Restaurant.

Drove down with a bro, got to Tijuana about noon. Went for lunch at El Choforo Mariscos then walked around the Cathedral area shopping for Christmas presents.

I usually buy arts and paintings in el Mercado Artesania, but most art shops are closed on Sundays, only shops selling cheap trinkets made in China are open hehe. Surprisingly stores on Revo carry most of locally produced arts and crafts. They can find most things if you ask, and you can usually get prices down to less than half of the first quotes hehe.

Got to HK by 2 PM, drinking beers, watching the strip shows. HK was not crowded on Sunday day shift, but there were at least about a dozen hot girls, 8 or above in my picky book, whom I would love to thrash out in bed. A guy exchanged his $100 bill for $1 then walked around raining greens on strippers. Just hope HK knew the bill may been freshly printed in his offset printer hehe.

Found Rihanna from Monterrey, pretty blonde, perfect light skin, flat ab, long sexy legs, wearing a black bikini with a large bras, hiding in the dark under the stairs. She was new in HK, shy and had no friends. She cruised the club and positioned herself at a few locations to attract guys but there were no takers. She was the most attractive girl in HK to my taste but did no business the entire afternoon. The girls taken upstairs were mostly below average in looks, but they seemed to hook repeat customers and guys tend to repeat with girls who gave them predictable hot sessions.

Sat Rihanna down in a couch on the second floor where there was less traffic and had a drink with her, sweet talking to her in my pidgin Spanish, was surprised to find out she spoke good English with classy gentle manners. She said from Monterrey, still in school, only flies down to Tijuana on weekends to make extra money for the Christmas holidays. Made a deal with her to go upstairs. Her business was slow all afternoon so she was amenable to a steep discount. The girl was nice, clean, looked beautiful from head to toe. Her body was supple with the most beautiful sexy curves and shapes; her unblemished light skin soft, smooth like satin. Her boobs were slightly droopy with large areolas, thus the large push-up bras. It was very exciting to kiss her sweet mouth, caressing, licking, biting her soft skin. She got aroused by the soft caresses, purring, breathing heavily. It was very sweet driving into her wet coochie. Was very excited and did not last long. Had a hot session with her, got her tel and plan to see this pretty girl again before the Christmas / new year holidays. There are lots of hot girls working in HK and the streets for the next 10 days for extra cash for the holidays.

Had a good afternoon full of good food, hot sex, exciting entertainment, fun company with the bro. Crossing back on SENTRI lane at 6 PM, only took 5 minutes, but the regular and ready lanes stretched back to the park, 4 to 5 hours wait estimated.

Gee I thought Artiste only eats Kosher, no pork?

A LARGE plate of nice crispy bacon hurts no one.

I was served a thick seared pork chop, pink with red center, juicing blood, like a rare beef steak, by Maestro in Costa Mesa, one of the reputable steak house. As a habit, I felt disgusted and could not eat it. But my trusty food scientist wingman said modern pig farming eliminates any parasite in the meat, so it's OK to eat pork rare.

I was so disgusted by habit, did not taste how good the bloody pork juice was. Could be as sweet and tasty as rare steak.

I was served an undercooked pork chop ( served like a tuna steak ) at Alahou Boutique Hotels restaurant last week. I swallowed one bite and spit the rest out on the plate but one bite was plenty to get me sick. I raised hell and got them to pay for my meds and the pork chop.

Not a fun experience.

Lesson learned? BABY SIT everything you do in Mexico. Don't ever assume people are knowledgeable or able enough to provide you with what you need. I have learned this the hard way. ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING.

I used to take out-of-the-country friends to La Perla for its seafood, beers, authentic ambiance and entertainment. But La Perla's food is only mediocre, not exactly fresh, menu limited, servings small, and the loud bands really got on my nerve. How can anyone eat in that ear-splitting noise. La Perla has been doing very little business and changed ownership a few times in the last 5 years. Very few clients go there anymore.

For good seafood near the alley, walk 1 block South on Ninos Heroes to El Choforo on the South East corner of Ninos and Calle 1. It has a small menu but the food is surprisingly good and fresh. Combination #1 includes a shrimp enchilada, a consomme and a soft drink, only 55 pesos or $3. Just stop by the tienda next door and buy a few beers to drink with the food. This little restaurant is good. All my wingmen like it.

Thanks for the recommendation everyone! The red snapper tostada was to die for. Fish tacos were pretty good, I make really good ones at home they were almost as good as mine)) shrimp taco was soooo good. Date got the grilled octopus wow it was delicious.

"I ate something on a trip to (foreign country) and now I've been having terrible stomach issues. I've read about people who have had tapeworms and I don't know if I have one. How do you know if you have a tapeworm? What do the eggs look like? How do you diagnose a tapeworm? Will the worm die on its own? Is it common to get a tapeworm?

A tapeworm is a parasite that you can get if you eat the infected and undercooked meat of an animal. So you could have gotten a tapeworm by eating something. It's hard to know if you have a tapeworm on your own, but the most common symptoms are abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, unexplained weight loss, dizziness, trouble sleeping, and jaundice. . . Some kinds of tapeworms cause anemia symptoms because they eat all the Vitamin B12. This is a problem because your body needs that vitamin in order to make red blood cells. If you have no sense of touch, trouble walking, and feel stiff, that's a sign of anemia. Paired with the other symptoms, you might just have a tapeworm. Tapeworm eggs look like little grains of rice or seeds. If they hatch, the larvae can sometimes crawl up your intestines and live there. This causes cold-like symptoms, such as coughing. . .

Beware: California has a city known to be infested with tapeworms that feed on the public in California. Sacramento. The head tapeworm / politician is named Newsom.

The wording on the 2-for-1 appetizer states "Equal or lesser value is free".

But I'm sure that certain mongers, in the way they look, drink or act, are easy victims of HK's meseros.

I'm going to second this recommendation. Nice, but not fancy. Good price and fantastic seafood. Short walk from Revo. On Google maps it shows up alternately as "Cevicheria La Mas Nais". I eat there all the time.

La Perla is fine if you are in the zona and craving seafood. Every time I've been there has been a screaming loud mariachi band, which made it less than ideal.

The other Corrientes around town have even fancier decors than the original if you're taking a lady. All of them have the same menu. The offerings are a cut above the other Tijuana seafood joints.

On Tuesday they do a Taco Tuesday special, 3 tostadas or tacos and a beer for 198 pesos. The tostadas are loaded with fish. The Red Snapper tostada is their most popular menu item, what they are famous for. All the tostadas are great.

The prices have gone up a lot here since I first started going years ago. About 3-4 years ago, the pulpo zarandeado (whole octopus grilled with seasoned mayo) was around 200 pesos and now it's more than 600 pesos. It's used to be a screaming bargain. Now it's not cheap, but I still go.

Highly recommend La Corriente. There are a handful of them in the city, they're all great. Check the yelp reviews and you'll see.

Anybody tried La Perla restaurant near TB? I went there on Friday. Menu looked good but I didn't eat because they were doing construction inside.

Seems the best & cheapest way for food is to eat at the Taco Stands and buy your sodas and snacks from the OXXO stores in the zona. Had meals at Al Capones & Azuls, mostly OK but the eggs at Azuls were so bad.

The tacos are cheap, about $1 USD each and a couple will tell you up.
