Mexicali

[Undercoverh]

Sorry to hear that your Mexicali experience wasn't so good. I want to tell you that MEXICALI IS NOT LIKE TJ! Daytime action is very sparce in Mexicali. The girls don't want to hang out in 100 plus degree weather. If you want a lot of action during the day, TJ is the place, although I don't go to TJ as it is also the most dangerous city in all of Mexico.

For daytime action in Mexicali, you need to go to the higher end strip clubs, which of course cost more money. Most of them open at 2 PM and some open around noon.

I can't tell you much about what went on with the girls at 16 de Septiembre, as I never have been one to go with a SG. I do know that if police are around that they act a lot less friendly than normal.

I can however tell you what happened at BSD. It has been my experience that at BSD if a girl approaches you for business that 9 times out of 10 she is not all that good in the bedroom. At BSD, the girls don't make commissions on drinks that you buy them. It is the only place that I know of in Mexicali (or TJ for that matter) that the girls don't hound you to buy them drinks. That is why I like BSD so much.

At BSD, the girls are there for only one reason. They are indeed friendly, but want the customer to choose them. If you don't speak Spanish, Castillo, the waiter, is there to help. You pick one out and tell Castillo that you want her to come to your table and she will come to your table and be friendly. Or you ask Castillo which one speaks better English and he will tell you. Even for those of us that speak Spanish, Castillo is the MAN. On Castillo's night off the other waiter (Mike) is also very helpful, but I have never spoken English with him so don't know how well he speaks English.

Once again, Mexicali is not TJ and hopefully it never will be.

Thanks for your comments and insight, this really helps me a lot. I will go back to Mexicali after my trip to HK and China. Your comments about BSD helps me to better understand the standard operating procedures there. I will use the help of Castillo and give him a tip. Come to think of it, when I was there, I say a Latin guy ask Castillo to bring a girl over the the guys table.

Your comments about the 100 plus heat (110 when I was there) is logical. I will take that into consideration next time. I agree with your comments that Mexicali, we hope, should never become TJ. I have Mexicali high grades for safety. Thanks again.

Just back from Mexicali this past weekend and I had mixed results. For example, at 16 de Septiembre hotel, there were at least 7 girls in hallway. I said “hello, how are you doing” in Spanish and they did not respond. They would not even look at me, they pretended as if I was not standing there. I was surprised since so many guys on this post stated girls in Mexicali were friendly. This has never happen to me in Southeast Asia or TJ. Anyone care to tell me why this happened? I am not Brad Pitt but I am not an ugly guy. I was nicely dressed and groomed.

Also, in the La Zona area around 1:30 pm this past weekend, there were only 2 ugly girls walking around. Wow, where are the girls? In TJ by the same time, lots of girls in La Zona. I also went to BSD, gee, the girls just sit around and will not approach you. In the places I have been for the past 11 years (Asia, TJ), I would say that the girls in Mexicali are lazy and not friendly. In Thailand-Pattaya, for example, girls will make an effort to smile and be friendly and approach the customer, same for TJ, HK, PI, etc. I also went to El Establo around 3:30 pm, gee I was told they open at 7:00 pm. Does anyone know what time Excalibur open and if it is a good club. Maybe, in the future, I will give Mexicali one more try.

Rico Cafe, thank you.

I'll check it out.

The Hotel Across The Street From Miau Miau Is Clean And Safe...it Is Often Used By The Girls At The Clubs Across The Street For Dates But I Know A Couple Of Guys Who Have Stayed The Night. Rooms Are Clean. I Would Compare To A Motel 6 In Quality. It Is About 6-8 Block Walk Or A Very Short Taxi Ride From The Poe.

Any recomendations for Mexicali hotels in the $30-$50 range within walking distance of the POE? I'm looking ideally for clean, quiet, secure & chica friendly.

Thanks in advance.

La Mentirosa is in a little plaza just South of the statue of Benito Juarez. If you take Justo Sierra south, veer to the left at the statue of Benito Juarez. This is where Justo Sierra changes into Benito Juarez. There is a little plaza on the left (East) side of the street that has a little HSBC bank, a restaurant named Sushi Villa Fontana, a club named Chabelas de la Justo, a club named Cimaron (which has Norteno music) and La Mentirosa.

The rock group is there every Friday and Saturday night starting about 10 pm. Parking is hell, but if you get there early it is a lot easier.

Excellent reports Munch Lunch!!

Hey Joe, I read your last post (homerun..attaboy!!) and noted you mentioned La Mentirosa...I like 20-30 year old non pros and rock music, so is that a good place to hang out while not mongering? Is that the place cat-a-corner from the old Forum at the intersection of Reforma and Justo Sierra? If so then I have stuck my head in there a couple of times but I havent ever stayed long enough to have a drink and get to know anyone...I do know that if that is the place that taco stand right next door to it is one of my favorite in Mexicali!

There are 3 or 4 that are within 3 blocks of the border crossing site and are ok. Only a 5 minute walk. They are not your 3 or 4 star motels. They are small but clean. I have stayed at Don Juan which I believe I paid $40 per night. It is on 4th street. The other is the Border motel and I believe I paid $45. It is also on 4th street and better than Don Juan. There are a couple more on 4th street also but have never stayed in them. I believe if it is your first time to Mexicali this may be your best bet. There are some good hotels in Mexicali also that are not so expensive. If you have any more questions feel free to PM me or RTF as Joe Aurturo and Mexicali Jack are excellent for any questions you may have.

Take care,

Thanks for the great information, exactly what I was looking for!

This just goes to show that there are good people out there. My suggestion is for both of you to keep a distance and for you not to spend too much money, buy her a house in her name, buy her a car, etc., etc. etc. The pending issue is - you could be giving up your hobby. I think relationships always fall back to family values so it might be time for a short visit to her family (without being too outgoing).
Will send PM sometime as I still owe you a drink.

I arrived in Mexicali Wednesday afternoon and was planning to leave on Friday morning. A good friend of mine, Leonardo called me and asked if I wanted to join him Friday afternoon to watch the Mexico vs Cuba soccer game. I said yes but if I was going to stay in Mexicali Friday night that I wanted to watch the game somewhere close to La Mentirosa. La Mentirosa is a night club where the twenty and thirty year old crowd hangs out. I will turn 60 in July, so I normally don't fit in in these places, but on Friday and Saturday nights, there is a great group called "Los Signos" that plays Rock en Espanol, which is my favorite type of music. I had not been to see the group in quite a while and told my friend Leonardo that I wanted to go there after the soccer game. We agreed to meet at "Chabelas de La Justo" which is in the same plaza as La Mentirosa at 5 PM, as the game started at 6 and at 5 we could get parking spaces and have a table in Chabelas to watch the game.

I arrived at 5, parked my car and entered Chabelas and noticed that Leonardo had not arrived yet. I also noticed that Rosalba/Melisa/Natalie was there with two other gals and a guy. I gave her a wave, she waved back and I went outside to wait for Leonardo. In 2 or 3 minutes, she was outside with me to chat.

She is in her 30s and retired from the puta business a year ago when she graduated from the university here in Mexicali. She has a 14 year old son and a 10 year old daughter and is a 6 or 7 in looks. I had been with her probably 20 or 30 times in the 2 year period before she retired and she was alway more than a GFE. Her name was Rosalba when I met her at Pagaritas (now called Excalibur), her name was Melisa when she worked at El Establo and her name was Natalie when she returned to work at Excalibur.

She wanted to know how I was doing and gave me her new phone number (she abandoned her old number when she retired from the business as she didn't want the customers to be calling her any more). She said she now works for the government of the State of Baja California. She now drives a late model car and told me she has bought 2 houses in the year since she retired from the business. One to live in and one to rent out. She told me to call her tommorrow (which would be Saturday) as she always felt that I was more than a customer. I agreed and she went back inside to sit with her friends.

Leonardo arrived and before the soccer game started, she left with her friends.

I called her yesterday afternoon (Saturday) and set up a date for dinner. After dinner, we ended up in a hotel and the old passion returned. She told me that she did not want any money because she was no longer a puta. She said she did not want love because love had always hurt her. She said that all she wanted from me was my friendship and my passion. I told her that I did not have a problem with that because love always ended up hurting me too and that I would give her my friendship and passion in exchange for her friendship and passion. We also agreed that we would not have any commitments. She said that she knows that I can't give up my hobby here in Mexicali.

She just left and I am sitting here with a big smile on my face thinking that I just hit a homerun!

Your taxi ride to the zone will be less than 2 minutes. Go 3 blocks to ALTimirano and turn right then 1 block to the left. The Map Quest program has a map if you hit outside the U.S., Mexico, then Mexicali and adjust the scale. You can't miss.

Thanks for info, I will take your advice.
