Has anyone ever stayed there? Was walking through last weekend and saw a sign outside Nikki's. Room was $350 pesos. Not sure if it was the whole night but its dame close to the zone. Anyone Brave this yet?

I've been in the rooms and I wouldn't call it quiet due to the loud music running through the place. There are so many hotels to choose from but NIKKIS isn't a great option IMO. Try Hotel Velario 2 streets down OR out of the zona.

Can you believe this SHIT. Fuckin bickering amongst Dems / Rebs. As soon as boarders are "reasonable" we get this shit! Hello 3 hr waits, Again. This SUCKS. Those with smiles are ones with SENTRI! How is this going to play with peso exchange?

Damn Steve, we miss you down here. However, there is a plus side of your absence, there seems to be a lot more tequila available in HK; not sure why?

I got your PM. I don't think mine went through? Yes to all. I hope to meet you in person. Be careful what you post."Amigos" and Chicas are NOT stupido! Have you NOT seen a chica without a smart phone? They Talk. Once one knows about info that "effects " them (forums / all of them) they will be on it. It is what it is!

Thanks to all for posting, as I miss the weekends I spent in Tijuana, and I live it through your words.

Excellent words of wisdom, as usual, by Phordphan. Newbies especially please get to know his post well.

Unfortunately, I may have been the one he was talking about that they took in. It is very unusual as he has said. Since I have previously posted about what happened to me, I will not go into it again.

Many are looking for a novia (I wasn't, but she told my wingman "she loved me"). I never saw her out of the club, never called her (I didn't even know her phone number).

Do not make a Latina lady jealous, you never know who they know, or what they will do. I found out the hard way.

Thanks to all for posting, as I miss the weekends I spent in Tijuana, and I live it through your words.

Health & happiness to all.

good to know phordphan.

i don't smoke / drink / drugs. even then, what should i do, if the cops for whatever reason detain. i have read about the posts that says do not offer any bribe or give them bribe if they ask, too.

if i refuse to pay what happens next.

how does the process work, just to be aware of.

generally, the cop either stops you on the street by telling you to "come here," or they pull you taxi over and ask that you get out.

you remain calm and polite. they will ask you questions of the "do you speak spanish" and "what are you doing here" variety. they will also ask for i'd and you'd be wise to have it. when they tell you to turn around and grab a handful of wall you politely remove your money from your front pocket (you really don't carry a wallet in the zona, do you?) and hold it in your hand. then let 'them frisk you (as if you had a choice). all of the stops i've read about or heard of in the past couple of years stop right here, if you're clean. i haven't been stopped in a long time, but all but one stopped here.

if they want something, it will usually be now (assuming they didn't lift a few bux from your wallet while searching it because you didn't have your money in your hand). they'll make up some pretext about holding viagra, jaywalking, dwg (driving while gringo) or some bullshit. then there will be some variation on this infraction costing some ridiculous amount of money. but, lucky you, they will accept payment on the spot. you will be nervous but you must act like this happens to you every day.

at this point you'll play it by ear. you'll need to counter with polite arguments that this alleged infraction isn't illegal, minor speeding isn't a $200 fine, etc. stick to your guns (politely). the requested amount will probably drop. everything is negotiable. when all else fails you can agree to travel with them to see the judge. don't let them tell you that they'll have to keep you until tomorrow. tijuana has 24-hour judges. no judge will tolerate the same damn cop showing up with bullshit arrests. however, this may be a time consuming process although it's very rare that it gets this far.

generally, by this point, they'll have given up and gone off to look for easier prey. but, worst case scenario, you may be forced to part with a few dollars in order to save hours of fucking around. but, i'll reiterate, it rarely gets this far. usually the gringo in question freaks out and forks over money. few resist. but i must stress that calderon got rid of a lot of corrupt police officers over the past 6 years, and the fact that jorge rhon is no longer mayor helped a lot, too. so, the odds of getting jacked up and fleeced are much higher than they were in the dark days of 2008/09.

one last thing. during those bad days there were horror stories of being stopped by cops and then being forced to go to the nearest atm and make a large withdrawal. i don't know if they were true or not. however, during that time i got into the habit of never carrying an atm card. this was one reason, the other was that i couldn't make any drunken withdrawals when the little head had taken over for the big head. i always took as much money as i thought i'd need, left the remainder in the hotel or car, and when it was done, so was i.

finally, just to beat the dead horse once more, today is nothing like it was 3 or 4 years ago. i haven't heard of any shakedowns happening in a long time, and i haven't experienced one in a very long time, either.

Not sure what you mean by heavy hitters. U mean another puta, or another monger? And you got banned from the other forum?

You never know who your "amigos" are. If you know what I mean. I got info on "someone". I don't want to be specific because I don't want any retaliation. Or problems. I will let it go. Just be careful. Info can be Fun / entertaining and useful. But know as they say Tijuana. Be aware of your surroundings. PM me for specifics Pimp / White Chocolate.

[PimpinIt]

I know a lot of chicas know about Tijuana forums. They like the good ones but like you say beware of specific posts they can trace to you!

I had a run in with the "heavy hitters" on the other forum. I wasn't sent to the minors. But OURIGHT released! Banned into "retirement".

While walking on Thursday, whatever the police situation was at Ticuan, still appeared to be going on. As I turned up Calle Octavia, you could hear sirens start up all over town and several police motorcycles and trucks sped through traffic lights and were all surrounding the Ticuan when I arrived. It only appeared to be a drill to see how soon everyone could reach the hotel in an emergency but they all seemed to be on high alert and the whole weekend, there was at least one if not two or more patrol units outside the whole time.

Burma, nice trip report. While I like staying at the Ticuan, I didn't this weekend, so I missed all the excitement you reported. I could only make a one night trip, so I just got a room at Adelita.

[GolfSexRroll]

Hi all you dirty ass mongers. I haven't written any posts for a while, and decided I'd visit to say hello, and give my greetings to all my buddies, old and new.

Actually, the real reason I signed in was because I ran into a very sweet lady last night in Adelitas that I have had relations with in the past, but have not seen in a while.

The first words out of her mouth were,"why did you write about me"? I had forgotten that I had posted about her, and honestly replied I wasn't sure what she was talking about.

But then she persisted, and said she knew it was me because some of the details that I had written in my post. Vague memories of the post came back, but I still didn't want to admit to her, so I asked her if it was a good post or bad post. When she agreed that it was a good post, then I jokingly took credit for it. She didn't seem very upset, and luckily it was a fovorable post about her generous services.

Thought it wud be a funny story to share with you guys that I unintentionally outed myself. Guess I have no one to blame but myself. Woops!

Stay safe, abuse that Tijuana pussy, and watch the details you guys write in your posts, otherwise you cud end up outing urself like this dirty ass monger.

I know a lot of chicas know about Tijuana forums. They like the good ones but like you say beware of specific posts they can trace to you!

Arrived on Wednesday and stayed a free reward night at the Holiday Inn. Nice hotel but wasn't using it for mongering purposes so cannot speak to it's effectiveness on that front. It does have a nice spa on the first floor so if anyone was in trouble with their lady and needed some bonus points, it would seem a nice place to stay. Also, it is next to La Mansion and their drive-in units. I must admit some jealousy whenever I saw a vehicle enter.

As to the frisking and police presence, I walked the 3. 8 km (per Google maps) from the Holiday Inn to Hotel Ticuan on Thursday and the 2. 5 km from Ticuan to the border on Friday and never was molested or stopped. As previously stated, I do stand out as a gringo but it may be a different situation in the Zona as opposed to the parts of town I was in.

While walking on Thursday, whatever the police situation was at Ticuan, still appeared to be going on. As I turned up Calle Octavia, you could hear sirens start up all over town and several police motorcycles and trucks sped through traffic lights and were all surrounding the Ticuan when I arrived. It only appeared to be a drill to see how soon everyone could reach the hotel in an emergency but they all seemed to be on high alert and the whole weekend, there was at least one if not two or more patrol units outside the whole time.

I was staying in one of the jacuzzi suites on the backside which I thought would isolate me from the club music. Bad mistake. Friday night was absolutely horrible. Both Las Pulgas and the Jai Alai arena had staged competing musical acts. I went down to the OXXO on the corner of Constitution around 11pm and the line to get into the parking garage was as far as you could see. Around 2am, my bed was literally bouncing from the band in the club not to mention the rattle of the windows. At 4am, people started to leave and I don't know the reason, but they were blocked in the garage and could not leave. I assume either there was broken down vehicle or no traffic enforcement on the street but people started blowing their car horns throughout the structure from 4am until the situation finally relieved itself at 6:45am. It was made worse by a medical patient across the hall who decided to open the window to his room and yell out for at least an hour of the fracas, telling people to shut the hell up since we were trying to sleep. Just horrible.

Never did go to the Zona but just used escort services over the 3 days and nights. Mostly bad experiences with one highlight. I also ate at Chiki Jai on Friday and Saturday. I must confess, I never would have stopped in there if not for the recommendation here. The sangrias are good and the paella exactly what you would expect on Costa Sol. There were two tables pushed together on Saturday for a large family but Friday was pretty quiet.

The line at the border was short and within the building on Friday and Sunday. Both times, I was asked 'anything to declare? ' at the Sentri desk and then was on my way, no further questions asked.

is the fb page in spanish only? that's not a problem for me but might be for spanish challenged mongers. so the cost of the massage is based on the skill level of the massage therapist? btw i don't mean to offend anyone but i think this place is easy to find. plaza del sol is clearly marked and is on the left hand if you're walking west on 3rd street also known as carrillo puerto.

hey reinaldo,

it was a page created mainly for the locals hence the spanish.

the masseuse we have there most commonly is the 25 dll one, i wouldn't recommend the 15 dll since that would be a beginner.

i would rather have you do the 25 dll, but let me know in advance so that my manager knows to schedule more time (got to take care of my forum bros you know)

pm me a couple of days before you go
