CBP agents and LEs would ask stupid questions just to see if you are nervous or drunk. To be safe just give them general answers, nothing specific that prosecutors can use against you, like visit friends, sight seeing. It's none of their business if all your friends work in HK and the only sights you see are hairy HK crotches hehe.
Seizing GE or SENTRI cards requires approvals and justifications by CBP supervisors to State Dept. They are unlikely to seize unless holders have major violations against rules and regulations. Even with violations they would send the perps to secondary for interviews with supervisors, then they would issue warnings, not seizing cards unless the violations are major and repeated 3 or 4 times.
A noob parties hard, one morning drove 3 friends back in SENTRI lanes the third time. CBP assessed $5 K fine for him and $5 K fine for 3 passengers collectible on the spot, or car would be impounded. He had to put it on CC. But the fine is subject to court trial and likely vastly reduced.
I drive back in SENTRI every week. CBP would usually ask if I had anything to declare, sometimes not even ask, and quickly wave me through. No problemos.
Make sure you follow rules and always protect your country against harms. That would go far with CBP and in court.
In summer 2020 when some people still thought the border was shut down, the clubs were supposed to be closed and there was no vaccine the US citizen in front of me in line went to the female agent and when she asked where he was he said Hong Kong Club. She asked if he had fun and he said no not really. She asked a few standard questions after that and let him through.
I personally tell them I went to see a friend. Others say they got dental appointment or eye doctor appointment.
I do not think Border agents care we seeing sex workers. They not dumb. They have seen more crap than we can imagine. If you lie that imo is much worse.

The reason is that couple of them asked me if I was bringing any prescription meds back, and some even searched my car just in case. I guess how it works is that doctors and dentists in Mexico are not licensed in the USA, so their prescriptions are invalid North of the border. So any medication, even if lawfully prescribed by Mexican doctors and dentists in Mexico are technically contraband in the USA. I doubt if you will be detained, but CBE wants those meds.
No. Unless you meet the tall blonde CBE with the big ass and nice tits. She will judge you with a look of disgust. I was tempted to invite her to HK and Adelitas as I often do to the CBP bros. They have lesbians for her obvious sexual orientation, but I didn't want to push my luck.I usually just say as little as needed and I am to the point with the CBP who are considered Federal Agents like the FBI or US Marshalls. I am friendly and look them in the eyes when I reply to their questions, I never been asked to go to secondary. If they ask me "what was your purpose for visiting Mexico" I always say I am visiting a friend or a Girlfriend or getting dental work done, I just try to be respectful and don't give them a hard time. The last thing you want to do is piss off a CBP officer, they could detain you and dismantle your car if your driving LOL. Fuck that!

My car got too many dings due to HK's valet parking in Pepe. They park cars too tight, always get new dings every time. Finally I side swiped a car and got a big gouge on my quarter panel. It looked ugly, had to fix it.
Found Kali Kustom at the North end of Ave Revo. Alejandro Deras and his wife operate a body shop and car detailing. He said rather than trying to match the original paint, better to repaint the whole car, takes 2 days. Agreed on a good price, made an appointment and drove the car down in the morning. He had 2 other cars being repaired but started on mine immediately, carefully marked down the gouge and all dings, washed it down, knocked out the gouge, patched up all blemishes, sanded them down. I went to dinner with a girl that night, rode back past his shop in an UBER at 10 PM that night, he was still working on the car, his wife and workers eating dinner with food spread out on the floor.
Came back the next morning, the car was all taped up ready for paint. He said he had to work all night with no sleep to finish it on time for me, poor guy, LOL. He sprayed the car multiple passes with a better sprayer than the rip shops on Calle 3. The paint and clear coat looked like original factory metallic paint, smooth and shiny even before polishing very little orange peel problem. This guy is really skilled in his craft. After finish, he carefully removed all little paint smears, also detailed the car, cleaning glasses inside and out, The car looked very good, pretty much like a new car with original factory paint. He said wait 3 weeks for clear coat to harden then bring it back for free polishing. Mexico allows solvent-based paints which are harder, more durable, adhere stronger than US' water-based paints. He also has a guy who can repair leather seats with good prices.
This guy Alejandro and his wife are good, honest, hard working people. He's a perfectionist. His quality and workmanship are far better than any body shop I have used in US and Mexico. Gave him a good propina for good work. Avoid the rip shops around Calle 3. They employ low-skill workers with cheap equipment, do bad jobs and their prices are even high, sometimes higher than shops in US.
Tell him you are a friend of Capitan Solo. He will give you good deals. Contact me for details.

Ahem the same for a drunk Mexican unless well off/established.
The value of life in Mexico is very little no matter what your color, creed or country.
Just go there keeping a low profile mainly visiting the established places and enjoy the fruits of the zona Norte. And if stay or visit outside ZN stick to the better areas (zone rio, tourist bars etc.) not getting drunk or high and always with good company even if the hotel or restaurant bartender.

A noob parties hard, one morning drove 3 friends back in SENTRI lanes the third time. CBP assessed $5 K fine for him and $5 K fine for 3 passengers collectible on the spot, or car would be impounded. He had to put it on CC. But the fine is subject to court trial and likely vastly reduced.

Make sure you follow rules and always protect your country against harms. That would go far with CBP and in court.Before I was an illegal resident in Baja I tempted fate far too often. I believe it's been over 10 years since Mexico started enforcing DUI laws with checkpoints. I remember bribing police as I walked to my car in the Chicago club valet parking. A Tijuana cop asked "how was I doing?" While inebriated, barley able to walk, I said, fucking great and how are you? As I gave him $10. He wasn't even asking for it. LOL he wished me a safe trip back to Rosarito. Another time I was heading to Bolero club but accidentally ended in the Sentri lane, without a pass. They stopped me and said you are not allowed here. Blah, blah I told them I was lost. They laughed and said be careful, next time we keep your car.
I used to cross so often they recognized my van and sometimes would not bother to look at my ID. I asked them do I cross that often? Thy replied, "Yes sir and how many people to you smuggle today"? True story. I asked if I had crossed over 500 tiems? They said well, we are not allowed to give out this info but you have gone above that number. True story and that was 10/15 years ago when things we way different. \.
One time I decided to drive the local roads home because I knew they had check points and were arresting people. For dui (& other things) unfortunately they also had a check point on the back road with lots of tow trucks and lots of poor Mexicans being arrested and put into buses bound for the Tijuana jails. I fails the breat test. The doctor spoke English and asked if " I was planning to go home this evening?" he was a nice guy and let me go. OMG I was elated. I drove stait for Rosarito. Except that was not the only check point. I was waved thru the 2nd one. I guess they had run out of jail space. Mexico is far different from years past. I have had bullets bounce off Walls during kidnappings I witnessed, I had my vehicle car jacked at a scenic overlook (La Joya) by Tijuana Beach. I even saw a guy shot in the back in the alley behind Hong Kong. I say, if the bullet don't hit you, just keep on keeping on. LOL.

Don Carlos,
How did you become illegal resident in Tijuana?
You were lucky. If you were arrested they would hold you in jail and impound your car until you pay the ticket. Your GF would get all pissed off to have to drive down from LA to bail you out hehe.
In the early 2000's, Chicago had the hottest girls. I used to stay past midnight to meet them. On the way back I got ambushed by policia a couple times, accused of drunk driving but refused to give them any money. They had to let me go. Policia are again waiting in their patrol cars on dark street North of Chicago.
About every other Friday night, policia usually have their alcohol check point on Benito Juarez when lots of guys drive back to the border. I drove past a couple times, just got waved through. The old policia would ask questions and looked into your eyes, looking for evidence of alcohol or drugs influences. One time they made me go to the breath test truck with a couple nurses sitting in it. I had 4 or 5 beers in 4 hours and passed their breath test. A couple Mexican guys got arrested, cars impounded, wives and kids waiting on sidewalk.
We cannot stay over night and have been taking turn driving 1. 5 hours back late at night, sometimes 3 or 4 in the morning when the body normally shutdown. Right after crossing the border I would fall asleep, telling the guys to wake me up to drive if they feel sleepy and not risk accidents. One time a very nice bro felt sleepy but did not want to wake us up. He fell asleep but woke up in time. At 70 MPH there is little chance to survive an accident, or you would at least get really mangled up.
I was in a couple bars in La Zona last weekend, did not find any girls worth spending time with. Girls in Chicago were huge, flabby, ugly. I was drinking a beer, waiting for wingman to go home. He was always sitting with big, fat, ugly girls despite not speaking any Spanish. Meseros were pushing her big friends on me. I kept turning them down politely, finally blew up. Considering the long driving, the fun and sex I can get out of these girls and the risks of accidents, arrests in Tijuana, I am tempting fate too much. I am bored with Tijuana and the same old girls. Will limit Tijuana trips to only special occasions in the future.
I would rather combine travel, food, party, culture, sight seeing and girls to places in Europe, Asia, South America, rather than just sex with ugly girls alone, to make travel worth it.
That's not true you can bring back a 90 day supply of most medications for personal use. Watch the Dallas Buyers Club.While I would never rely on a fictionalized movie for legal advice, the Zman is absolutely right.
I've brought meds back maybe 50 times. Cialis and blood thinners. (Opioids are a different story.).
When I get to the gate, if they ask "anything to declare," I simply tell the what I've got. They've ALWAYS let me through. One newbie officer once asked the officer in the next booth "Is Cialis OK?" The old-timer replied "sure. " That's the closest I've come to being blocked.
Carrying an up-to-date prescription can simplify matters. One time, the officer asked to see my prescription, I showed it to him, and he pointed out that it was expired, and then waved me through. Since then, if they ask, I' just say "Yes. It's at home." Again, no problema.
But ALWAYS stick to the "for my own personal use" story. If you tell them that you're bringing it for a friend, you will be dealt with as a drug trafficker.

Jackie.
Best place is Firestone with its $200 lifetime alignment, pays for itself after the first use.
They try to bring you in to sell various tires, brakes and various services. You don't have to buy them. They sell Firestone and Bridgestone tires, not my favorites.
If they say you suspension is way out cannot be realigned without a set of $100 shims, they just bullshit you. Tell them to align your car to the lifetime contract or you will sue Firestone and the branch manager. Tip the technician $5-10 and he will do good work for you.
Just a heads up as I had my Global entry pulled coming back from Tijuana and wanted to share some info with others. Border guards could only say I didn't qualify anymore but could not give me details on why and what happens is they upload a report online on your account and it just says I don't qualify anymore with a ton of various non-specific reasons anyone can loose access.
My own research only found I didn't update my last moving address with them so they had my address from two years ago. That is the only thing I could think of and a week later when I went down to Tijuana and asked the guard could it have been pulled for this she said yes, something as little as not updating an address. I have been using the Global Entry monthly for a long time down to Tijuana and the night the pulled global entry was no difference.
There are some other routes to go with appeal to what they call the "ombudsman". And other options I am still checking into that but. Update your addresses if that was the case.
I reapplied and waiting to see if it's approved and hopefully to see what the heck I did that was so wrong as I live a pretty boring life. Never in trouble with the law etc. For now I am learning how to cross during slow times like Friday night about 9 pm!! Go down and enjoy a few hours and get back to US a bit earlier.

Greggy,
Sorry it happened to you. This is serious business having your privilege canceled in light of the extreme delays in foot and car crossings at San Ysidro.
However, I am not aware of DHS' requirement for GE holders to report changes of permanent address. I lost the card twice recently, sent $25 for replacement and they just mailed new cards to me within a week. If DHS requires notification of permanent address changes I would have noticed and complied. DHS only needs your mailing address to mail the cards to you. Update of permanent address is done at the next renewal applications.
GE cards can only be pulled if the holder has been investigated and found errant by DHS or FBI. A DUI or any felony conviction will void GE / SENTRI / NEXUS cards. DHS may have made a mistake in your case, may be mixing your name with some bad characters. I have known it to happen.
You should write to the Ombudsman to find out the real causes and fix them.

Tuesday night I took an UBER ride on Via Rapida South to Hippodromo for dinner at the Churrascaria do Brasil. The Southbound traffic was moving fairly well, but Northbound traffic, heading to the border, was stuck and backed up past Zona Rio mall, probably 3 to 4 miles long, potentially 3 to 4 hours wait to cross the border. Every time I cross the border into Mexico the.
Wednesday afternoon I drove back about 3 PM on SENTRI lanes. Normally there should not be much traffic heading back to the US at that hour, but the 2 SENTRI lanes stretched all the way back past the second rotary on Padre Kino, about 2 miles long. Policia was at every intersection directing traffic. But the SENTRI lanes moved fast with 6 CBP booths open and I crossed back after 20 minutes. The pedestrian line however stretched way past the overhead foot bridge, may be 2 to 3 hours to cross. Normally the pedestrian line is very short in the afternoon on weekdays. Traffic across border at San Ysidro is unpredictable.
The bros going to Tijuana should apply for Global Entry so they can cross the border quickly and not miss their flights.

I'm relocating now and don't want to run into this same problem.
Thanks for this info.

Thanks for this info.I've been crossing every week and sometimes twice a week by car and never been asked to verify my address. They just ask if anything to declare and where I am headed. Not sure how they would know or care to pull Greg's card over a simple address change. It would seem like a simple fix by the CBP to let you know to update for next time if it was really an issue. GE card is a life saver whether driving or flying.

https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/program-denials
I also find it hard to believe it was the address. He asked me where I lived and I said San Diego, but my old address was El Cajon and not San Diego so maybe this was an issue. While I reapplied and fixed my address, without knowing if it was the issue I could take months to even be considered and then maybe it wasn't my address at all so my application doesn't respond to the actual issue. Very frustrating. What is odd is I can see in other foreign countries where rules and laws are setup that are not "fair", but the USA I think is more of a gold standard of rights for the person. Of course the program is a privilege and not a "right", but still the process is a bit messed up not telling someone what they screwed up on.
Anyway. I am just crossing at less busy times so I am still dam appreciative to be able to travel back and forth thru Mexico and many countries and there are billions from other countries that would love a US passport so I got to look at the glass half full on this issue I think.

If not its probably a name matching someone else's with common names in Latino culture, if your Latino, there's probably 50 p dudes in USA with your name and date of birth. Hopefully they fix it my global entry is more important than my car in my opinion.
A number of lawyers handle Sentri cases and appeals. If it is important to you, you might want to consult one of them and see if he can get it back for you. Google the title above for contact info for one firm. From their website:
According to the TSA, approximately 3-5% of the roughly 30,000 applicants that apply for Global Entry status every month will be denied. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") in most cases will issue a written reason for the denial, but this is not always the case. In some cases, the applicant will have to pursue various avenues in an attempt to find out the reason for the denial. The most common reasons applicants will be denied, however, will be due to past arrests or convictions for criminal offenses or for administrative customs violations. In short, even minor criminal convictions or customs violations, regardless of their age, could result in a preliminary denial of Global Entry membership.
If your Global Entry application has been rejected, you should promptly consult with an experienced Global Entry appeal lawyer. If necessary, the Global Entry appeal lawyers at National Security Law Firm will investigate why your application was rejected. We will then request paperwork relating to the underlying offense and gather personal and professional paperwork relating to your character and the reasons why you would like Global Entry membership. We will then submit an appeal on your behalf discussing the reasons for the denial, demonstrating your rehabilitation, explaining your need for Global Entry, and providing evidence demonstrating that you are not a security risk to the security of the United States. If you are interested in appealing your Global Entry denial or revocation, you should consider an experienced attorney to assist.

Travv,
The attorneys will milk him for $5 K to 10 K form some stupid bullshit work, cause further delays, more complications and may make his situation worse.
I know you like to spend big money on chicas and attorneys, but these admin cases can be solved and much better solved by the affected parties themselves without the need for attorneys with their bullshit and high fees. I know a few guys who were lied to, strung along and milked big time by these attorneys who did very little work besides bullshitting their clients and lost the cases.
Go in DHS web site, read their regulations and keep writing to them asking for redress. After having all their evidences and arguments you can ask for a trial by an admin judge. In most cases DHS' attorneys would cave way before the trial. Their bosses would never let their high-priced attorneys screw around with a guy who just wants his GE card reinstated.

It's one thing for the GOV to say we pulled it and we make the rules. But they state they will tell you in detail what it was pulled for on their own web site. They need to follow through with the rules that they made and advertise to over 330 million people!

Guess it depends on how often and how long are we prepared to wait. I used to wait till after midnight during the week. Or leave before 9 AM on a Sunday.
I usually drive across. I have TSA precheck and passport card. Global duplicates these and I guess allows to drive in Sentri lanes? My vehicle will be too old for a Sentri so I figured to wait 6 months and do all this paperwork while registering a newer vehicle. But I no longer live in Baja or visit hktj as often as previously.

I don't go that often so for now I just need to choose my return trip time specific to the normal times when the crossing is not busy. See the following web site for details and the graph is attached.
https://bwt.cbp.gov/historical
Sunday evenings are not good. But Friday nights later and Saturday are good times to return it appears. Or very early morning could work as well but not as good as at night. This is a historical chart attached so I am sure staffing levels could change from year to year but I think it's a good graph which seems semi accurate for the couple times I have been down there since the Global got pulled.

I cross regularly in a 20 year old car and have done so for a long time. I have a 28 year old Mustang that has been approved to cross but it's too nice to take to Mexico.
If I stay the night at a hotel like Ticuan or even somewhere like Premier, is it safe to leave your car parked there overnight? Don't know how many of you actually drive into Tijuana as opposed to just using taxis and Ubers.
If it's not safe I suppose I can leave my car at home and just take the trolley to the border since I live close to a trolley station. It would just be more convenient to have my own car to get around. Just not sure how good security is at these hotels for vehicles.

They have 24 hour security and there is only one way in and out of the garage. I have parked there overnight many times. You may see some $80 k+ cars in there.

So, parking is quite secure as you're literally sleeping on top of your car. And nobody is coming in and out of your garage at night.
Ticuan, and all the decent hotels, have monitored parking.
This all presupposes that you drive a "normal" car. If it's a Ferrari, or Lambo, or some other six-figure car, well. Maybe it's better to leave that at home. No sense in tempting fate. If you drive around you'll see lots of expensive vehicles. There's money in Tijuana. Nobody gives my 20 year old Beemers a second glance.

Travv,
The attorneys will milk him for $5 K to 10 K form some stupid bullshit work, cause further delays, more complications and may make his situation worse.
I know you like to spend big money on chicas and attorneys, but these admin cases can be solved and much better solved by the affected parties themselves without the need for attorneys with their bullshit and high fees. I know a few guys who were lied to, strung along and milked big time by these attorneys who did very little work besides bullshitting their clients and lost the cases.
Go in DHS web site, read their regulations and keep writing to them asking for redress. After having all their evidences and arguments you can ask for a trial by an admin judge. In most cases DHS' attorneys would cave way before the trial. Their bosses would never let their high-priced attorneys screw around with a guy who just wants his GE card reinstated.I almost did this one time when the Navy Reserves would not release me from active drilling status. After emailing him (a very powerful defense committee chair person) a staffer quickly called me back but I declined to proceed. I don't know what transpired after that however soon thereafter I was released from active drilling status.
The 2nd time very recently I had a dispute with the VA and all I had to do was copy his name in a letter to the VA and the VA very quickly resolved the issue in my favor.
Do involve them when you have a solid case. That is why they are elected and most will get involved and make those harassing you very uncomfortable. I learned this while on active duty and sometimes having to deal with very difficult civil servants (sand crabs).

Cocr,
Make sure you have a good case and the laws are in your side. After you got all the facts straight and have tried all means without success, you may want to engage your local US rep.
Don't get your US rep involve in shaky, unlawful cases, as the rep may retaliate and agencies may refer you to DOJ for prosecution.
Hello guys,
I've seen these shuttles come and go for a long time and was wondering if any of you has used the service to cross the border?
It seems very straight forward, not that expensive if you're going to skip an hour or two of border crossing wait time.
http://sdtjpassport.com/
I haven't seen anyone post their experience using this shuttle service, so if you have, please share.

I haven't seen anyone post their experience using this shuttle service, so if you have, please share.Their claim of zero wait is BS. All the shuttles work the same as the buses. There's a dedicated bus lane at SY. The bus pulls up to the door, people get out and get processed by CBP and then get back into the bus. CBP processes the bus for contraband and illegals. Now if there are no buses in line, your shuttle will breeze up and you'll avoid a long wait standing in line. If there are two or three buses ahead of you, then YMMV. A lot. If each bus has 30 or 40 people, it can take quite a bit of time to process them all. And you'll be stuck in a crowded shuttle for who knows how long. If you're lucky the driver will leave the A / see on. OTOH, he may not, making your wait even more enjoyable. I crossed a couple of times on a shuttle, years ago, and liked it so much I never did it again.

My car got too many dings due to HK's valet parking in Pepe. They park cars too tight, always get new dings every time. Finally I side swiped a car and got a big gouge on my quarter panel. It looked ugly, had to fix it.
Found Kali Kustom at the North end of Ave Revo. Alejandro Deras and his wife operate a body shop and car detailing. He said rather than trying to match the original paint, better to repaint the whole car, takes 2 days. Agreed on a good price, made an appointment and drove the car down in the morning. He had 2 other cars being repaired but started on mine immediately, carefully marked down the gouge and all dings, washed it down, knocked out the gouge, patched up all blemishes, sanded them down. I went to dinner with a girl that night, rode back past his shop in an UBER at 10 PM that night, he was still working on the car, his wife and workers eating dinner with food spread out on the floor.
Came back the next morning, the car was all taped up ready for paint. He said he had to work all night with no sleep to finish it on time for me, poor guy, LOL. He sprayed the car multiple passes with a better sprayer than the rip shops on Calle 3. The paint and clear coat looked like original factory metallic paint, smooth and shiny even before polishing very little orange peel problem. This guy is really skilled in his craft. After finish, he carefully removed all little paint smears, also detailed the car, cleaning glasses inside and out, The car looked very good, pretty much like a new car with original factory paint. He said wait 3 weeks for clear coat to harden then bring it back for free polishing. Mexico allows solvent-based paints which are harder, more durable, adhere stronger than US' water-based paints. He also has a guy who can repair leather seats with good prices.
This guy Alejandro and his wife are good, honest, hard working people. He's a perfectionist. His quality and workmanship are far better than any body shop I have used in US and Mexico. Gave him a good propina for good work. Avoid the rip shops around Calle 3. They employ low-skill workers with cheap equipment, do bad jobs and their prices are even high, sometimes higher than shops in US.
Tell him you are a friend of Capitan Solo. He will give you good deals. Contact me for details.Thanks Capt Solo.
My car was repaired from a minor accident on the last day of 2021.
I still have a small dent in the lower driver's door that I would like repaired.
Also have the car fully detailed inside and the driver's seat repaired since it's coming apart.

You go to small bars and expect the Mexicanas to act like Gringas. In Mexico the guys like to do the hunting and they tend not to like it when the girl makes the first move. You should know this by now. If you see a girl you like, YOU go up to her and flirt. That's how it works. If you want sharks coming on to you first, stick with HK.Isn't this rule number one dealing with women overseas? They aren't American and since when do American women approach you unless you are obviously attractive or smell of money?
This applies to pros, semi's and non-pros especially, you make the first move, they expect it.

Thanks.Pretty broad question. Do you prefer being within walking distance of the Zona or don't care? Do you just need a room to fuck and sleep in or the ability to spread out? Will you be hosting escorts or will you just be hunting bar girls? I'm sure you get the point by now that there's lots of variables.
Looking for affordable accommodations, got any suggestions?There's no simple answer to your question. Read the Tijuana forums. All of them, at least until you get your bearings.

DJ,
This guy is very good, much better than any shop I have used in US and Mexico.
My car had a gouge about 12 inch long by 1 inch deep on a complex curved surface. I resigned to the fact that no body shop can make it look as beautiful as the original shape, but this guy did it. He sculpted that surface pretty much exactly like the original. The paint is fine and shiny, looking like a new car even before polishing. He also detailed the car and degrease the engine for free.
I would trust him with expensive cars with complex shapes like Ferraris or Porsches. Lamborghinis have mostly flat surfaces, would be easier.

If you drive down to have your car fixed, hotel Hacienda de Santiago is on the corner of Coahuila and Revo, abut 500 - 600 ft South of that Kali Kustom body shop. I stayed there 1 night waiting for my car.
It's $33 a night week day, may be higher on weekend, with free parking. The room is about 2 x as large as Cascada's single room, fairly nice and clean with windows to the street, a fridge and stove. I felt better having windows compared to Cascada's small, windowless rooms which feel claustrophobic. The guy rolled up the sheet and mattress to show me there was no evidence of bed bugs. I saw no roaches.
There are car and street noises all night so bring ear plugs.

I have a low bar because I just need Whatsapp, email and some basic stuff whereas another guy may want to be able to stream Netflix or the like. Another poster summarized it best: shitbox hotel typically means crappy Wi-fi. Assuming you want to be able to walk to the Zona, you pretty much can't go wrong with Ticuan. Rio Rita is perfectly located and rooms even have a fridge which is great because many chicas love cervezas and a couple cold ones can lead to amazing sessions. Having said that, the thing to know about Rio Rita is once you register one chica, that's it for your stay. She can visit you as often as you want but only her.

I get the same treatment on my local Telcel phone so go figure.
With this hotel being right in the heart of the action and with its association to HK it could be a gem. But it isn't a gem to me because of the small things that just add up.
Pros:
Proximity-first and foremost. Again, right in the middle of action IE multiple clubs surrounding & scene.
Reasonably priced rooms.
Reasonable room accommodations: WiFi strength, room cleanliness (I dare say).
Rooms are literally built for sex LOL: furniture, multiple porn stations on TV, pictures on the walls, hot tubs, showers, etc. It's sex sex sex.
To boot, the 24/7 bar and restaurant is decent too.
But Cons:
Doing anything is a freaking burden at this place; checking in, checking out, walking around the hotel (multiple checkpoints to get patted down and metal detected, etc).
Price / money gouging at every point / minute; checkout I only got a portion of my $50 back because they said my room was dirtier than most? And by dirty, they meant (beer bottles that were not drank everywhere).
And why were the non drank, full freaking bottles everywhere? Because when you bring a girl to your room from the club (a room you paid for, not rented for an hour) they constantly call your room every 30 mins or so to make you buy drinks or gouge you for something. It's terrible.
Basically improved efficiencies and leaving true guests the hell alone would go a long way for me.
In summary, I'm still a bigger fan of getting a nicer hotel (Pueblo or Ticuan) outside the zona and calling over multiple agency girls at my leisure.
By any chance has anyone seen Paxlovid for sale in Tijuana and how much was it? By prescription only I assume?
Thanks.

And to check in is often a line. Then you get in the room and the sheets may not look clean. And to leave may take 15 minutes in the morning to get the security back. Like you said. They make it a pain, I believe partially because they are not trying to be friendly customer service as Americans would receive at a store or hotel in Mexico. There's a Mexican taco place in ocean beach San Diego I go to. I walk in, and it feels like hotel cascades. Nobody seems happy to see me, nobody says Hello, everyone looks like I'm bothering them.

Hmmm. That's a new one. I've stayed at Cascadas many, many times and have never NOT gotten my entire deposit back (usually $30 when I stay in the basic rooms, sometimes $50). Then again, I do keep my room relatively clean and don't put beer bottles everywhere. Tend to leave them all on the table at the front as a courtesy.

Hi Fellas,
I am not a newbie, I monger in the USA But Tijuana scene is new to me. My question is the guest fee. I was watching a guy on YT, he is basically saying that even the Chica friendly hotel does not allow more girls to come if you stay there for couple of days. I will be coming to Cali for business, I will be staying in SD, for at least 2-3 weeks, I only have to be on the site for few days in the beginning and few days towards the end, I may have to check in at the site during the middle. So that leaves me plenty of time in between to play. I told my boss I will be staying in Tijuana for at least a week in the middle.
So If I stay, lets say 5 days in a Chica friendly hotel, what are the rules? I plan to see agency girls, sent to my room, 1 or 2 per day. So in 5 days that's 10 Chicas. According to the guy below at the 10:15 mark he says that the first Chica will be registered as a guest during my entire stay, all other Chicas that come to see me afterwards, I will have to pay extra fee? This doesn't make any sense. Is this guy right?? Or is he getting scammed?? Anyone stayed more than few days?? How do you get around seeing multiple ladies in a week, staying at the same spot?

So in 5 days that's 10 Chicas.Keep in mind the guy in the video is describing one particular hotels policy. You will find different hotels have different policies. For example a place like hotel Ticuan will require your guest to present an ID at the front desk before going to your room. But 2 hours later as long as the first guest has left no problem bringing another guest and no extra charges.
So the best solution is ask the policy before booking or ask on here about the hotel and you will probably get an answer regarding their guest policy.

I thought I would drop a note.
As the title states nothing to see here; If you are a regular visitor to Tijuana or Lower Baja in general no need to repeat things like Hong Kong has the best looking providers and it goes down from there.
All the escort websites like CuminTJ are still operational.
Stayed only for the day, if you don't have Sentri expect wait times of at least an hour mid-day.
If you are new to Lower Baja it's safe, especially the Zona. Well lit and populated with Police / Security.
Went inside of Hong & Adelitas.
A Dominican when she was done grinding on some other guy, came over to sit down next to me.
Ask me the usual bit of chit-chat, I bought one girl drink. After that she got the hint I wasn't interested in much more, which is true.
I hadn't been in either place for a very long time.

I was across the alley so I will assume the older, not remodeled rooms?
Didn't know that.
I was across the alley so I will assume the older, not remodeled rooms?Yes.
For some reason they like to save those remodeled rooms for the vanilla guests like families and mexican tourists. You can request it and pay extra no problem but they never will give it to you without asking.
The rooms you stayed in were $40 during the week FOREVER then they jacked up the price. The room quality is not worth the now asking price of $65 HOWEVER The location IS worth it and they usually leave me alone to do my thing which means a lot to me. I am super tempted to become a Ticuan resident but these guys have done me right for years. I would seriously consider living there long term in one of their apartments suites. Those are at the very end of the parking lot. They have full kitchens and a living room but they face noisy Avenida Negrete.
Was in La Zona last Sunday with some bros, got there around 2:00 pm.
We went to Chicago Club and outside the entrance there was a swimming pool with three chicas in bikinis. Inside Chicago was mostly empty, with one chick on stage dancing. We took a seat to view the show. A decent looking chick approached me, and I invited her for a drink at a table. Her drink costs 9 $, and mine 4 $. We talked and cuddled for a bit. She told me she was a Tijuana native, unusual since most people in Tijuana are from somewhere else. The chick had a cool attitude and I tipped her for it.
My group and I then went to Adelitas club. It was later in the day, and there were more people at Adelitas than at Chicago, but a similar vibe. I saw a chick walking inside the club; from her dark complexion, wavy hair and amazing curves, I figured she was not Mexican. I went up and asked her where she was from, her response "Medellin." I told her I have been to her city and praised Colombia. She went to entertain a client at a table, so I bought a drink for a big tall blond who told me she was from Mexicali and we chatted nicely for a bit.
The drink pricing in Adelitas was the same as in Chicago Club. Being familiar with Hong Kong Club, the prices for drinks are basically the same in all three clubs, only the chicks are hotter in HK (going "arriba" being more expensive in HK, quite naturally). At Chicago and Adelitas you have more of a mix of average chica types as compared to HK, which has mostly top tier talent. In any case, I only buy drinks at the clubs, so they all provide me the same mileage. Also the entrance to Chicago and Adelitas is less friction, with HK security asking to remove objects from pockets.
My group also went to bar La Gloria which features cumbia music. This is more of a regular bar, with normal looking locals dancing and drinking to cumbia songs. Since I'm a big fan of cumbia, I rather enjoyed La Gloria, as well as their 2 $ drinks.
Then we trekked to Torito Pub / Restaurant / Discoteque on Revolution between Calle 2 & 3, which during the day is a restaurant, but at night turns to a disco bar. We went upstairs to their balcony that overlooks Ave Revolution and drank 2 $ canned Coronas with a great view of Tijuana as the sun went down. The balcony was a nice touch, though the bathroom was bare-bones and lacked a sink. Across the street was an attractive looking Italian restaurant Guissepis that a bro said had good pasta, have to try it on another trip.
In between these bar / restaurant runs, we walked the whole length of the street girl scene a few times over, and being a warm summer Sunday, there were plenty of beautiful chicas out to do business, a mix of regulars and many I've never seen before, was quite impressive. As we were leaving, we saw a stunningly beautiful light skinned girl standing in the alley, looking very young and flawless. She reached out and held my hand urging me to go with her; was very tempted but I already had my fill of chicas for the day, hehe. My bro talked with her briefly, said her name was Karla, and she left us breathless.
There were plenty of people walking out-and-about on these streets. Also there was a heavy presence of national guard soldiers in full combat gear, both on trucks and walking around, sporting big assault rifles, helmets, vests, and pistols on hip-holsters. I saw two groups of these Guardia Nacional troops patrolling on foot, their presence was definitely felt.

They have areas that are gated, luxury amenities, etc. I can tell lots of luxury apartments are going up specifically catering to foreigners. I live in a middle class colony and you can tell just driving around the different areas the lower class, middle class, and upper class areas. I even saw a $10-$15 M house for sale in Tijuana in Chapultepec area.
People drive crazier in SoCal than anything I've experienced in Tijuana. I have yet to see someone try to cross 5 lanes on a freeway to get to the off-ramp doing 80-100 mph. Also people seem more respectful and courteous than in the USA Pretty much every person I've walked past in the colony I live in says the greeting of the day, buenas Dias, noche, etc. Even though I don't speak the language. Also at restaurants you have random strangers that tell you to enjoy your food, provecho similar to bon appetite in France. I thought it was odd the people leaving the restaurant would say it, but I guess it is common courtesy.
I've never been to PR, but know most go for tax advantages and you'd be closer to other Caribbean spots, but don't think you'll find better value in the PR compared to Tijuana. The beauty of it is that it is within close proximity to CA and has an airport that can get you within Mexico for cheap.

Dude! You need to get out of the zona and set your prejudices aside. I know plenty of nice middle-class people who live in nice middle-class neighborhoods in Tijuana.Where are these middle class neighborhoods? Even a friend in playas in beautiful home couldn't keep her car in the street or it would be broken into or stolen and every house had bars and fences and gates like it was south Africa. Most people with money try and live in buildings with security. A nice relaxed neighborhood that's middle class in Tijuana? Gringo friendly? Few and far between.
Long time lurker. Could use your help and will contribute in the future. How do you fellow mongers come to Tijuana and avoid the girlfriend calling and noticing a different ring or tone once in Mexico? Gracias.
How do you fellow mongers deal with coming to Tijuana, the girlfriend calls and it has a different ringtone or sound on their end? So basically how do you come to Tijuana and they don't know? Gracias.

Gracias.I have a married friend who goes down a lot. As far as we could figure out there is no way to fix the ring tone problem. He has to leave his phone in the US and has a special phone just for use in Tijuana that he hides.

Got quoted around $1900 pesos ($90) for a prepaid phone and a 30 day prepaid sim with 2 GB. 2 issues. You have to have a mask to enter the store, and you can't buy one from them. Also they don't accept dollars, only pesos and credit cards. The greeter that helped me said I just needed a Gmail account to download WhatsApp.
I take it you haven't lived in Tijuana. They have areas that are gated, luxury amenities, etc. I can tell lots of luxury apartments are going up specifically catering to foreigners. I live in a middle class colony and you can tell just driving around the different areas the lower class, middle class, and upper class areas. I even saw a $10-$15 M house for sale in Tijuana in Chapultepec area.
People drive crazier in SoCal than anything I've experienced in Tijuana. I have yet to see someone try to cross 5 lanes on a freeway to get to the off-ramp doing 80-100 mph. Also people seem more respectful and courteous than in the USA Pretty much every person I've walked past in the colony I live in says the greeting of the day, buenas Dias, noche, etc. Even though I don't speak the language. Also at restaurants you have random strangers that tell you to enjoy your food, provecho similar to bon appetite in France. I thought it was odd the people leaving the restaurant would say it, but I guess it is common courtesy.The items you mentioned are many of the things that I miss about living in Tijuana compared to the US. Maybe if you lived in a small town you would find these things but for the size of Tijuana and the gap between the have and have nots most people are very respectful to each other and I never witnessed someone going off on help in a restaurant or to others like the "Karen's" you get in the US. As you live in Tijuana longer and get to know more people in your neighborhood you will also begin to run into people you know when you are out and about. Since Tijuana has only so many places to go and things to do you are always running into people you know.
Dogers you really shouldn't make such an ignorant statement just from hearsay of others and not a personal experience. Zona Rió is a very well know middle class area of Tijuana and very gringo friendly. Also just because homes have bars on the windows doesn't mean it's a bad neighborhood. Like many cities in the US that have been over run with homeless people Tijuana has the same problem. Zona Rio is a nice area but sometimes you get small crimes because of the homeless drug addicts that live in the river and will try to steal small things to buy drugs. Even high end neighborhoods in the US are having problems with robberies or up in the Bay Area where cars are broken into all over the city.

More so than many other places in Mexico. It depends on who you associate with but I see an upper middle class crowd all over Tijuana. The women have fake designer handbags and the men always have a nice looking dress shirt on. They eat at Caesars and other 4 start dining establishments. They also golf and possibly own a second home on the coast.
They wouldn't be caught dead with the likes of me but I do appreciate some of their amenities like golf courses and fine dining. The "daughters" tend to be gorgeous in this social circle.
Then again there is the Critical Mass crowd. A lower rung socioeconomic group but still hardly comparable to American lower class. They don't have much money but they live a decent life own bicycles, spend ample time with family, have some free time, can afford to travel now and then.
For Mexico Tijuana is RICH.
I think for the right person TJ could provide a very nice lifestyle for someone. A better alternative than the alternative for many. (smile)
If you had a choice to live a decent middle class lifestyle in either place with a nice place maybe a cleaning lady etc. Which would you choose and why?
Maybe it doesn't belong in this thread but I had nowhere else to put it. Excuse me.I thought about moving to Puerto Rico back in the day and take up a life of an I don't give a shit surfer. Then I learned that it was fucking expensive because it was an island and they had to import just about everything, including a lot of their food. So I cannot understand how one can maintain a decent middle class lifestyle equally in both places. I mean if I am going to fork over the money for a middle class lifestyle in Puerto Rico, I may as well get a middle class place in Chula Vista or San Ysidro and make a trip to the Zona Norte every single day. (Actually I came close to going every day a couple of years ago, got bored and ended up spending more time outside the Zona Norte than in it).
Me I would take Tijuana because of better pussy, a better nightlife, and more inexpensive things to do. And even though both are latinas, I find Mexican women to be softer, nicer, sexier and less of a princess than Puerto Rican women who often thinks they are God's gift to men.
Did I mention that Puerto Rico is an island? You can't really take a uber to the border and the trolley up to mainland USA San Diego for shopping, or the beaches, or medical care. You actually have to get on a plane to get to the mainland. You can't just drive up and go to Vegas, or skiing up Big Bear. You are literally stuck on an island.

Yesterday I was in a lot parts of Tijuana that were the better areas, including a really nice restaurant area which is inside new city. That place was cheaper than anything I've had to eat in Zona Norte or revulucion. But I was the only gringo, and all these areas I went to, hopdroma, etc, I still did not see any street with houses, or apartments that one can find in mexixo city even. I'm not saying don't move to Tijuana. But if safety middle class neighborhood is your goal, Tijuana is not the place unless these neighborhoods are far away someplace I've never seen. I think one would be better just moving to the carolinas.

I think you make a lot of sense. It seems like gentrification is taking place in PR in a big way. Corporations buying up properties to rent them back to tenants for higher rates or turning them into AirBnB's. I feel really sorry for the isanders who will get priced out eventually.
Although I may still take a trip out there this Fall to confirm things. It would make for a fun trip regardless if I decide to move there or not.

I live in a very nice, low-crime district of San Diego, not far from plenty of neighborhoods that fit your description of Tijuana.

Has anybody ever gotten a girl in Tijuana who they were seeing a lot pregnant?Well seems that many guys here have hooked up with regular girls and working girls that became girlfriends or wives so of course it's going to happen. Are you asking the question in regards to what your responsibility is in that situation or you just asking to ask?

We have been barebacking for around 10 months now. I have been pulling out but messed up last time. She is not pregnant yet as far as I know but I want to know what could happen.

She is not pregnant yet as far as I know but I want to know what could happen.If you get her pregnant and she gives birth, you man up and take responsibility. Period. Simple.

She is not pregnant yet as far as I know but I want to know what could happen.I know others have mentioned that if she knows your name and address that she would be able to get money from you. Not sure if that's true but even if it wasn't I agree with Luv and you should be a man and be a man.
Now I know a guy that got a girl pregnant that he said was an accident and he did everything he could to provide for them both. Later he got her pregnant again so I began to second guess him saying the first was an accident. By that time I started to talk to him less but a few years later I ran into the woman in San Diego which was a shock since she didn't have a Visa when I had known her and everything was great as she had the young baby with her and the older child was with my friend at the movie so I wasn't able to catch up with him. Just was happy that he was still doing his parental duties and some how got her to the US.
I think if you are having unprotected sex the first thing you should do is talk to your girl and figure out what she wants, she can go on the pill or get an IUD implant. The other option is that if you mess up just take a morning after pill. They also sell a pill, in Mexico for later pregnancies but from what I remember it is more risky and can make the girl unable to have a baby later.
Good luck.

She is not pregnant yet as far as I know but I want to know what could happen.If she is pregnant, I suggest a paternity test. If positive, then welcome to parenthood. Who knows, you may find true happiness. As far as I know, Mexican women (from Mexico, not LOS Angeles) make their men far more happy than Anglo women or Americanized Asian women for one big reason. Mexican women are far less demanding for materialism, and so they are less likely to work you to death.
If she is not pregnant, I suggest packing a morning after pill in your wallet from now on. Oh yeah, did I mention the paternity test? If not, it is going to stink a couple of years from now that your kid grows up looking just like the dude across the street, and walks just like him, and sporting the same facial hair he has, and is really loved by his family.

Here's a quote from fatherly.com:
"By nature, humans aren't the most fertile of creatures. On average, the chances of conceiving in a given ovulatory cycle hover around 20 percent, according to a review article published in The Lancet in 2002. (For perspective, the fertility rate of baboons can reach around 80 percent each cycle.) That means that 74 percent of couples with average fertility will become pregnant after six months, and 93 percent after one year."
If she does get pregnant and decides to have the baby be sure to get a paternity test.

She has a real job and has never worked the zona. I am kind of like a father figure to her since her dad died shortly before we met. We go on trips and she doesn't charge me, I just pay for everything of course. I need to make sure she is on birth control and be more fucking careful.

What are the abortion laws?The abortion laws in Mexico changed last year as the court decriminalized it but like here it is now in the hands of each state. I think be. See. Made it legal but most still don't agree with that. I was listening to a Tijuana radio program that was taking calls on the matter and it was more callers against than for. Also if the girl is raised with catholic values she most likely will not abort even if she is able to.

I helped her financially as I was making good money and she wasn't too greedy. LOL. Anyways fast forward 3 month she tells me one day, ooh baby I missed my period do you think I am pregnant. I always barebacked her and cummed in her tight little pussy. I responded well I had a vasectomy 2 years ago so my question is who else are you fucking? Well the next day she miraculously had her period LOL! Be smart put her on birth control, use a condom, get a vasectomy, or just jerk off LOL!

Has anybody ever gotten a girl in Tijuana who they were seeing a lot pregnant?If with a working girl those would be called "ho / John" babies. Best to avoid all possible as they have very minimal prospects for a good life. I use prevention mainly to not cause further pain and suffering in this planet no matter "how much better it feels" sin condom. For those that do it regularly sin condom do you have any spiritual sense? Not saying I am perfect or holy roller but I do have spiritual sense for not wanting to create unnecessary life without much chance of success and further falling down ladders of life stages (thinking in a Hindu sense).
I met a bro on a trip back from Medellin to Fort Lauderdale and he told his novia after bare backing her to not get pregnant. How fucking callous self-centered prick was he! Just use a condom or get clipped. If a *****monger do you really want to further the world population in a further downward spiral? I strongly believe there is already too much world population.
My last sex in Cascadas over MDW I could have barebacked her but chose not too.
If I ever did father a child would only be outside US in lesser economic opportunity countries where child support not going to bankrupt me!
Overall at nearly 56 years of age mostly of choice and wanting to avoid western women drama I have only had sex with regular women less than 2 handfuls of times (10 times) but 2 of them I barebacked and man did it worry me.
With hos sex proly 300+ times all with condom except 1 I wanted to bareback her (a hot Tica)! Very much have to worry about your health also and the risk of getting STDs. Met a bro who barebacked a nurse in Jacksonville, FL and caught an almost uncurable strain of the clap. Took many and various treatments of antibiotics to cure his hurting Peter.

But I did not find one until I actually left Tijuana and go down towards Baja Malibu. But in Tijuana, it seems that there are no real neighborhood lines. You can rent a real nice apartment, then open you windows and find yourself in a bad location as you now have a real nice view of the slums. It not like San Diego or LOS Angles where you have easier to define neighborhood lines. Seems like in Tijuana, the neighborhood lines end at the end of your street, or the front gates of your gated and secured building.
On the other hand, it does get better the further away you get from downtown Tijuana. Seems that Otay-Tijuana is less of a slum. And it seems that the newer developed communities South somewhere between Tijuana and Rosarito has better looking neighborhoods with less barb wires, graffiti and homelessness. I suspect the professional middle-class live out here somewhere and drive into Tijuana to work, then escape downtown Tijuana at the end of the day.

Zona Rio over by the New City going east towards the City Hall has many apartments that are safe and don't have poor views. I had a buddy live in one and he had a good view of the City Hall and depending on what building you are in the view could be even better.
Also I visited a nice apartment that had views on the golf course over on Agua Caliente blvd. It was twice as much to rent as other places I looked at but was also very large and if I had a roommate to share cost with it would be perfect. Another nice apartment complex I looked at was tempting since it had a community pool but I didn't like the lay out of the apartment as much.
The newer homes built out by Otay are more of your cookie cutter houses, I took a look at the but were kind of small and again wasn't impressed with the layout. I have never been to the homes that they have on the free road to Rosarito but I was surprised how many they had.
One thing about Tijuana that I remember a friend that grew up there he made a comment about how the population really exploded after Mexico City had that large earthquake back in the 80's. I think just to many people came and just set up very basic homes.
You do have to have an open mind when moving to a different country as it won't be what you are use to in the US. I know when I went to Tijuana once I walked by a apartment complex and joked with my friend that it was ghetto type housing but later when I moved to Tijuana that was a middle class area.

Plenty of large cities have graffiti and homeless issues (I. E. Honolulu, L. A. , Paris, and. Why. , etc.). It just means you're in a higher density location with people that are less fortunate or too ignorant to respect other peoples' property. The reason you don't see the graffiti and homelessness on the outskirts of Tijuana in those new subdivisions you noted are they are so far from the center 30-45 min. Drive and the rents are actually quite cheap $500-$750. In addition they are gated with 24/7 security. If you're in Chapultepec, La Cacho, Hippodromo, Zona Rio, etc. Then you're looking at rents in the $1,000-$2,000 range. Almost similar to Midwest USA, but not as expensive as SoCal where you're looking at $2,000 for a 1 br. I've lived in Tijuana for the past year and walked in various areas and never felt unsafe. The only time I've felt my life was in danger was walking around in the USA In cities such as Compton (don't wear wrong colors), New Orleans, and Atlanta. Never had a gun pulled out on me, robbed, or assaulted while in Tijuana and I've been out at all hours of the night, early mornings.
One of my friends got a gun pointed at his head near the outskirts of Bourbon st. In New Orleans and he had to give them his wallet, watch, and shoes. Never had that happen to me anywhere else in the world. I imagine the USA Is going to get more violent in the coming years where the cost of living is going to have people resort to robbing each other and businesses. The people I've ran across in Mexico have been respectful and kind even though I know very little Spanish. The only time I've been taken advantage of was when I was in HK about a decade ago and gave a mesero a $20 for some ones while sitting at the main stage. He never came back and didn't get his number so I learned my lesson to just get change directly from the bartender. The $20 wasn't a big issue for me and just chalked it up as charity to the less fortunate. He must have needed it more than I did. It humors me reading about some guys getting jumped or mugged in Zona Norte as I've walked from Revolucion to Zona Norte plenty of times and never had an issue. I find it hard to believe some guys are always getting smacked around unless you are disrespecting someone, then you probably deserve the beat down. I've seen falangs get a beat down in Thailand by the motorbike taxi guys, but probably due to some form of disrespect. People don't usually attack you if you don't provoke them.
I wouldn't deter people from considering Tijuana as an alternative to SoCal and it is convenient if you are a digital nomad or remote worker since they have an airport, variety of restaurants, and good entertainment venues. Every month they have a concert and the only thing I wish is the city had better roads, but imagine the tax revenue doesn't cover the costs for repairs, similar to the deteriorating infrastructure in the USA I can see in 5–10 years Tijuana becoming similar in price to SoCal and higher cost of living than most, if not all, of Mexico due to the gringo invasion. The average 1 br luxury condo unit being built in Tijuana is going from $150 k-$250 k. I've met some Uber and DiDi drivers that are retired from the USA And prefer the cost of living compared to SoCal (Orange County, SD, LA).

Might have been a two minute hiccup when I crossed at Tijuana. I used it for navigation in remote areas of Michoacan -- no problems. And the monthly bill wasn't any higher than it was in the US.

You do have to have an open mind when moving to a different country as it won't be what you are use to in the US. I know when I went to Tijuana once I walked by a apartment complex and joked with my friend that it was ghetto type housing but later when I moved to Tijuana that was a middle class area.Completely agree. I think too many "experts" don't have enough experience to really understand the differences in cultures. I wondered for a long time why so many Mexican neighborhoods looked relatively dumpy. Curb appeal seemed to be something of a foreign concept. Then I visited Spain. All of the neighborhoods we went through were relatively dumpy. Yet every place I went into was very nicely done and nicely kept up. So many buildings were built with the "garden" concept. A ring of apartments or rooms surrounding an inner courtyard or garden. The entire concept is 180 degrees out of phase with the USA. Here we care more about what our house look like on the outside. There it was the opposite. Well, who was it that conquered Mexico? The Spaniards! And their housing concepts came with them, along with their language and all their other weird cultural oddities. Just like every invader.
So, if you're looking for a neighborhood with white picket fences and green lawns, they are few and far between. Only the very upscale places will look anything like that. Probably due to lots of gringo influence. Middle class Mexican neighborhoods tend to look kind of ghetto to us.
Google FI should not be a problem since they use the T-Mobile. There is times I have problems connecting to T-Mobile. In such a case go internet settings. Turn of adaptive connective & automatically connect networks. Then connect to Telcel. Tmobile uses the Telcel network in Tijuana.

The various colonies in Tijuana can vary based on what streets you are on. Plenty of large cities have graffiti and homeless issues (I. E. Honolulu, L. A. , Paris, and. Why. , etc.). It just means you're in a higher density location with people that are less fortunate or too ignorant to respect other peoples' property. The reason you don't see the graffiti and homelessness on the outskirts of Tijuana in those new subdivisions you noted are they are so far from the center 30-45 min. Drive and the rents are actually quite cheap $500-$750. In addition they are gated with 24/7 security. If you're in Chapultepec, La Cacho, Hippodromo, Zona Rio, etc. Then you're looking at rents in the $1,000-$2,000 range. Almost similar to Midwest USA, but not as expensive as SoCal where you're looking at $2,000 for a 1 br. I've lived in Tijuana for the past year and walked in various areas and never felt unsafe. The only time I've felt my life was in danger was walking around in the USA In cities such as Compton (don't wear wrong colors), New Orleans, and Atlanta. Never had a gun pulled out on me, robbed, or assaulted while in Tijuana and I've been out at all hours of the night, early mornings.
One of my friends got a gun pointed at his head near the outskirts of Bourbon st. In New Orleans and he had to give them his wallet, watch, and shoes. Never had that happen to me anywhere else in the world. I imagine the USA Is going to get more violent in the coming years where the cost of living is going to have people resort to robbing each other and businesses. The people I've ran across in Mexico have been respectful and kind even though I know very little Spanish. The only time I've been taken advantage of was when I was in HK about a decade ago and gave a mesero a $20 for some ones while sitting at the main stage. He never came back and didn't get his number so I learned my lesson to just get change directly from the bartender. The $20 wasn't a big issue for me and just chalked it up as charity to the less fortunate. He must have needed it more than I did. It humors me reading about some guys getting jumped or mugged in Zona Norte as I've walked from Revolucion to Zona Norte plenty of times and never had an issue. I find it hard to believe some guys are always getting smacked around unless you are disrespecting someone, then you probably deserve the beat down. I've seen falangs get a beat down in Thailand by the motorbike taxi guys, but probably due to some form of disrespect. People don't usually attack you if you don't provoke them.
I wouldn't deter people from considering Tijuana as an alternative to SoCal and it is convenient if you are a digital nomad or remote worker since they have an airport, variety of restaurants, and good entertainment venues. Every month they have a concert and the only thing I wish is the city had better roads, but imagine the tax revenue doesn't cover the costs for repairs, similar to the deteriorating infrastructure in the USA I can see in 510 years Tijuana becoming similar in price to SoCal and higher cost of living than most, if not all, of Mexico due to the gringo invasion. The average 1 br luxury condo unit being built in Tijuana is going from $150 k-$250 k. I've met some Uber and DiDi drivers that are retired from the USA And prefer the cost of living compared to SoCal (Orange County, SD, LA).I've been going to Tijuana since 9/11 happened. That's 20 years now. Never been robbed or assaulted. I've lost a dollar here or there paying the gringo tax, but that's it. I've been stopped by the cops for WWW about 3 times, and was never robbed. Maybe I'm lucky. I don't know.
A late post but was reading about a real estate agen in. A red Audi that was killed by the cartel. Anyone know why it happened.

Spent a dozen hours in Tijuana on the 4th of July as the Saturday and Sunday down at the beaches in Diego were a shit show. Restaurants and clubs way busier than normal. But the takeaway I want to express is the pedestrian line on the way back was crazy long even at ten at night. I have sentri so never care but if you don't and plan on spending a long three day for American holidays please TTFF and make this note.
A late post but was reading about a real estate agen in. A red Audi that was killed by the cartel. Anyone know why it happened.It was a British real estate agent with a red Audi who lived in Cancun murdered in Cancun in March. Related to drugs because he loudly protested against drug dealers in Cancun or something like that. The murderers were arrested. I am looking for a link to this story.

Probably want to stay clear of cops because they are probably going to be justifiably paranoid since they're may be dodging bullets. Interesting that the alert extends to Rosarito.
I did notice less of a military presence last weekend. I guess the spike in military 3-4 weeks ago was for a real reason other than just show. They got their narcos.

Rosarito is actually where the Sinaloa cartel member got arrested (which is ultimately what led to the Department of State alert). See this article: http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2022/07/attempted-hit-on-sinaloa-cartels-el.html.
Arrests / deaths of prominent cartel leaders often lead to shifts in power / territorial disputes where increases in violence can be expected. But honestly don't know if this is something to be overly concerned about.

The cops had no idea this guy was running around in their fair city until he was accidentally handed to them on a silver platter by the hospital. I think the fascinating thing is that there were 300 shots fired and they only killed the bodyguard and wounded one kid. These "sicarios" are either really bad shots or "assault rifles" aren't quite as deadly as everybody makes them out to be.

With most countries being closed the last few years I visited Tijuana quite a few times. Heading out to Thailand next month which is on a whole another level compared to Tijuana. Tijuana is fine, but glad I won't be having to go there for some time.

That is a Sinaloa boss, probably a captain snooping around in Tijuana cartel territory and was taken out. The Tijuana cartel still has control of Tijuana so there isn't going to be a big turf fight.

(5 shooter x 30 round mags x two mags each). One reload each is pretty low in a firefight.
Went to monger this afternoon and saw heavy military presence on 2nd and constitucion. Didn't really see any of them in the zona though.

Well at least the Zona is protected by that undercover Tijuana Police officer are. Martinez #001 who likes to flash his badge to tourists who look like newbies. Sure that guy will protect us innocent mongers from the drug cartels.
Yeah I think a 19 year old female college student would be more in peril of being kidnapped than a fat balding American with a San Diego Trolly pass around his neck just looking for a BJ.
300 casings probably came from the 4 sicarios and also the 1 bodyguard means that each shooter emptied only 2 mags. (5 shooter x 30 round mags x two mags each). One reload each is pretty low in a firefight.To be pedantic, the bodyguard wasn't roaming the mean streets of Rosarito with an AK on his shoulder. So that eliminates two 30-round mags from your equation. I'm not sure how many firefights you've been in, but this hardly seems to qualify. The guy was exiting a barbershop and had a few yards to walk to his armored truck. He got jumped by several "hitmen," presumably with automatic weapons. They sprayed lead all over the joint and took off. In your scenario they had time, in these few seconds, to reload and spray some more. And the results of this was the bodyguard was killed and a little boy wounded.
So, were they really, really bad shots? Or maybe they were just sending a message? Get out of our territory? Dunno.

Maybe they felt retaliation for the attempted assassination in Rosarito could extend into Tijuana, I don't know. Also my understanding is even though he was arrested in Rosarito, he's currently being held in Tijuana, so maybe a potential attempt by the cartel to free him (in Tijuana) could get violent.

Yesterday Friday night was extremely sparse. I think this is the annual summer break for the Chicas where they go home to see their kids on their summer break and come back in the Fall. There was some weird outage and the alley was kinda dark when the street lights failed to work. It must have been preplanned because many of the businesses in the alley closed early. So by 11 pm, it felt like 2 am. Without proper lighting I suppose a lot of people were kinda scared.

My concern though is if I move down there permanently my Mexico usage will be over 50% which Tmobile views as a breach of contract and they will terminate my account. I have received messages before from them giving me warnings about this. It seems like Google Fi would be made for someone like me or specifically for a Nomad Traveler. The concept is great but wondering how it truly works out for people.
One drawback that kept coming up is lack of brick and mortar support. Have you needed any support and have they been responsive to your needs? I find customer care with cellphone carriers to be a huge indicator as to overall service.

I have not had any issues with the calls, but they slow my speed and then you have to pay $50-100 for more data. Verizon does the same.
Are any of you guys using <Google FI> down there and how is the connection?This isn't about Google FI, but my experience with Google's customer support has been pretty bad.
Yesterday, I found a $5 mystery charge on my credit card bill. I spent hours trying to figure out which branch of Google it came from: Google Pay, Google Play Store, etc. , etc,. Their Manila-based technicians, using garbled phone lines, could not be made to understand the question.
But I don't really know. Maybe Google FI is better.

I have not had any issues with the calls, but they slow my speed and then you have to pay $50-100 for more data. Verizon does the same.One tip I came up with is if you have T mobile phone you can download the DIGITS app to another device. It allows you to receive your Tmobile calls on another device. In my case I have the app on my Tijuana burner phone and it works really well. I get notified when I receive calls or messages on my US phone via the app on my Tijuana phone. The only caveat is it sometimes it asks you to log in with a pin code sent to your USA phone! I think you can do that once then bypass it for awhile. Still working on that end of it but the DIGITS app is worth looking into.

An additional 5 days for unlimited WhatsApp, Instagram, etc. Best deal in Tijuana, but not sure if you need a local ID. Telcel has the best coverage, but I used to burn through their data in days and not sure if it was due to apps running in background. Another option would be Telcel mobile hotspot for 2,500 peso and 500 peso recharge for 8 gb. Plenty of affordable local options, but UNEFON is best deal in town. Coverage can be spotty if you're in the outskirts of larger city centers due to it using ATT towers. Telcel works best outside of city centers if you decide to visit the local casas.

Were you referring to TJ or other places in Mexico ?I'm referring to other parts of Mexico.

Just a heads up. Crossed on foot just before noon and line back north was running up the overpass. Bad. Headed to Premiere Hotel and sentri was almost to the second traffic circle. The non sentri line was, by my drivers estimation four hours. Wrapped up my pre lunch conference and headed to Steak house. The damn line was longer. Ate like Caligula and then headed to La Zona. HK had a great line up and was enjoyable clinking beers with all the ladies in the Green Room waiting for their 4:00 launch time into the danger zone. Some Asian dude was making it rain from the 2nd floor but don't think it was Fat Bastard. Watched the money collected for a smoking hot blond w a tiny ass on the north stage and it amounted to less than $140. The idiot even tried to wad up bills to launch to chicks on the bar top where I resided. The line going back at 5:30 was still all the way back to where the taxi drops off and people were crazy cranky. And smelly BTW. The G E Sentri line was 0:022 seconds. Don't know WTF a Wednesday was so busy but it seemed it was not a staffing problem, maybe just too many tourists.

Even after they cuffed the guy, they look a long time to inspect the vehicle before towing it.

The only good thing with the driving line is that it sometimes looks worse than it actually is. The Ready lane that lines up in the areápida I've seen backed up almost to where the Villa Dorada is, the reason is that they block off traffic up by Pueblo Amigo is so that the traffic going over the bridge to get to Rosarito can go by without having to clog up the Ready lane. When the traffic is clear they will then let cars go by and this moves the line up quickly. So what you may think is 4 hours turns out to only be about 2. Sentri is the same since they have to let traffic go by just before you go up the ramp. So the line looks long but is only about 45 minutes.
So what is going on with all these long lines at the border I keep reading. Isn't the new border back open or is it still closed because of Covid. Is the line longer because people are vacationing there more after Covid. What's the story.

The CBP is probably tasked with much more in depth checks of commercial trucks and trailers due to the 53+ deaths in Texas. Faked DOT tractor and trailer filled with people. Plus the formal re-opening of Mexico travel and USA no longer needs Covid Tests to return via air. Yeah I know it doesn't apply to land crossings. But we in this forum are smart. Remember. The masses watch FoxNews or CNN and believe they had to have a covid test prior to walking back to the USA border.

I wouldn't even go to Tijuana if I didn't have it.
Was at another bar near HK, smaller one. There's a girl I met who doesn't charge me much. The prior time it was no problem 2 weeks ago. This time a Masero appeared out of no where to barge into our room with his beers and begging. The truth isbi wanted out. Looking back I should told them both I'm going to hk ATM for their $$ and not returned. It was a very uncomfortable situation to be in because if I walked out the door I know the masero would put his hands on me. These guys in street put their hands on me just walking past their bar. At that point I would remove his hands and in his mind we are having a fight in the room and it could get ugly. I hadn't paid for the room yet he said pay in the room as he followed us into the room. The girl was telling me to say "no" by her facial expressions. I didn't have the $ anyway for 80 dollars worth of ficha sized beers. After 2 minutes of arguing, he reduced it to half. I asked her if the sex would be free so I could pay this guy money instead of you. Eventually we all just stood there staring to see who was gonna cave. Her, and free sex, me and pay him, or him. He caved eventually but never again. After all that he wanted a tip. Could you imagine a tip for begging me? These maseros need to put a wig on, shave their body hair and start putting out on tranny row and work for their $$. I understand they wasn't big $$ like the chicks earn but then put the work in and have sex with the dudes who want that. I will never enter a bar hotel with any girl again. In fact whenever I have fichas I will tell all the girls about the maseros needing their 80 in beer $$ and my low patience level for their bull shit.

He caved eventually but never again. After all that he wanted a tip. Could you imagine a tip for begging me? These maseros need to put a wig on, shave their body hair and start putting out on tranny row and work for their $$. I understand they wasn't big $$ like the chicks earn but then put the work in and have sex with the dudes who want that. I will never enter a bar hotel with any girl again. In fact whenever I have fichas I will tell all the girls about the maseros needing their 80 in beer $$ and my low patience level for their bull shit.This only have happened to me once. A big dumb showed up with a bucket. I screamed at him to get the fuck out. He was embarrassed and left. Look, these meseros are giant pussies and will cave in since their job is on the line if they fuck up. Do no argue or reason or debate. Point to the door with the middle finger of Peace.
Why do you guys keep putting up with HKs bull crap. Meseros barging into your room now. It's getting worse and worse. I quit going up with HK girls when they instituted the 1. 00 robe fee. LOL. I had enough of their scams. Worse customer service and they want tips too. With the money you guys waste there you can get a jacuzzi room at ticuan or another hotel and bring escorts there.
Way better time.
One thing I miss about Tijuana from 15 years ago was you had peanuts and beer, madonnas, and Caesar's strip club on revolution. You could get 5 dollar lap dances most of the time and do whatever. I remember bringing escorts there after session and she would call her friend and we would party in the booths. It was so much fun back then. I don't know what happened to the place.
This has nothing to do with Tijuana but I thought I would post this. My all time fantasy girl Emily Ratajkowski has divorced her husband for being a serial cheater. If he got tired of screwing her, there is no hope for the male species. Here is the link for those that don't know how amazing this girls body is.

It was relaxed and at my motel, my girl was 19 and a spinner, BBBJ and CIM was amazing. She was tight too so I can't complain about the sex and only $125 an hour. I saw her like three times during my last trip. I went to HK and only drank some other bros tequila and bought a few rounds. This is so I wouldn't be a total mooch, spend about $100 in 4 hours, no sex though. More fun with escorts with me. Too bad I used to really love HK back in the day, I am too broke now to afford it LOL.

Never had an escort in Tijuana, but the nickel and diming and crap service at HK has motivated to go that route instead.Last night I had two fichas with a girl in hk. Bought her stuffed animals, from one vendor, food from the 4th masero who begged us to buy food, cigarettes for her from another vendor, a Florida time share from another vendor, flowers from the flower vendor, hey it was love baby. Bought some Mexican blankets for her from the other vendor. We had so much company I don't think I could ever get turned on being with a girl alone anymore without a audience.

I don't know what happened to the place.Yup that's when I first started mongering, around 20 years ago. Peanuts & Beer had a really fun, wild girl there named Kendra. She's on my Mount Rushmore of providers of all time. Nothing was off limits and she always wanted more. Used to go to madonnas as well. Pussycats also provided many fun times. By the mid to late 2000’s everything changed though once the violence in Tijuana started to escalate. Those bars never recovered.

Shes probably what my female friends refer to as a pillow princess. In other words, in bed, all she does is lay there and spreads her legs while the guy pumps away and thats it. A lot of hot chicks suffer from this terrible disease and are left wondering why their guys cheat on them.

CB Joe,
You got that right. Guys will get bored with the same girls after a few session, however hot they are, especially when they are star fish or prickly crabs and don't show any expressions of joy and appreciation or any emotional feedbacks during hot sex.
To perpetuate the species, the males are genetically designed by nature as philanderers, wanting to spread their seeds around as widely as they can, thus the desire to screw all new and different females, however ugly and bitchy hehe.
Meanwhile the females are designed to prefer monogamous relationship, to copulate, conceive, procreate and nurture offsprings. They would never understand and forgive the males for betraying and screwing around behind their backs.
Hope you find lots of hot sex and happiness with all your roaming.
All guys get tired of the same pussy eventually. It doesn't matter how hot they are.
Had to google the term pillow princess. Urban dictionary says it's a lesbian that likes to receive oral but doesn't give it.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pillow%20PrincessThe second example listed seems more appropriate in this case:
Pillow Princess.
A girl who lays back on a pillow during sex being pleasured but doing nothing in return.

It probably did originate from lesbians though with other people adopting the term as well.

Which would in turn make that person giving the oral an Oral Slave. Sounds good to me.
One of my hottest lick sessions was tossing a beautiful SG as she texted on her phone not paying any attention to me.
What's better from Los Angeles: FlixBus, Greyhound, or Amtrak? Any better alternatives?Amtrak is slower and less reliable there's often issues with that train and everyone has to get off since it hits a lot people and cars and the beach erosion and it's not a straight line like the highways.
What's better from Los Angeles: FlixBus, Greyhound, or Amtrak? Any better alternatives?I guess Greyhound because you can buy a round trip ticket LOS Angeles to San Ysidro (Greyhound stop is right at the pedeast border crossing.) Amtrak Santa Fe station is in downtown San Diego and you have to take a trolley to San Ysidro (45 min.) or Uber. Flixbus I don't know.
Comic con convention this weekend in San Diego, 130 000 attendees. Even Motel 6 is around $300/ weekend night!
I heard a lot of good things about the Flix bus.

What's better from Los Angeles: FlixBus, Greyhound, or Amtrak? Any better alternatives?I take Amtrak, but one reason is I'm much closer to an Amtrak station. Another is I go down during high traffic times so the train makes more sense. I get Business class so I have a lot of space, get free drinks (beer, wine), and can walk around if needed. The internet isn't reliable, but the power connections are good. The view on the second half of the trip is nice (along the ocean). It's not ideal having to switch to the San Diego trolly, but it's not too bad either. Get off the Amtrak, go across the street, and Blue line should come within 10 minutes.

I probably even use it Friday and just sleep in the car because it's very time consuming to go out at night in San Diego if you have to be up and working at am in San Diego but trying to stay in Mexico. Today the line was an hour walking with sentri.

Have a trip to Tijuana coming up soon. Have heard of HKs nickel and diming recently. Seems all the big bars do in Zona North do it to some extent.
Was wondering if La Cueva del Peluda is worth a trip? Any talent recently at the smaller bars?
Is there a place close to the Zona to get an inexpensive burner phone?
Is there a place close to the Zona to get an inexpensive burner phone?Believe it or not OXXO would be a good bet for a cheapie. If you wanted something half way decent I would go to the main Tel Cell office in Plaza Rio. They have all sorts of phones on sale.
Went to club amnesia for 1st time as I was broke, bored, not wanting to drink. So I went exploring. This place is a block south of Pulgas on revolution, so it's south of all the revolution bars. It's huge inside, looks like a high end American strip club. Being weekend, maybe that's why they wanted 8 dollar cover, but you get free drink. There was only 2 guys in the club though, a lot of woman. Many looked very good. Beer is 3 $, 10 for the girl, or 20 30 you have to tell her what to get if you don't want to be paying 20 or 30 for her drink. The girl offered lap dance in the private room. If her ficha had been better I would of done it but I was more worried about her begging for $ after the lap dance as she may claim the 20 is for the house. I should of asked her what she was going to need for tip. Sex was 150 including a room of some sort. I guess this place is good alternative if you don't want to feel like your competing with 300 guys from LOS Angeles in HK on weekends. Although won't save any $. Just more relaxed place.
Most of the erotic massage parlors charge anywhere from $40-$60 in Czechoslovakia for some really hot girls. Now mind you in many cases this a 1 hour price. Here in Tijuana HK most of the club girls are charging $100 min for 30 minutes. I can sor of understand the HK girls charging $100 min for FS. The girls in HK refuse to even negotiate a reasonable BJ price. The only other options is the low end SG's and a few godd SW's.

Seeing the F-22 doing its high maneuverability is quite a sight. I have seen it do a complete 360 degree turn within 200 feet radius, at low speed, 500 ft above Miramar runway, likely using exhaust thrust vectoring. It was floating and turning around in a tight circle, a very gutsy maneuver since there is no altitude to recover if there is a slightest error. In high speed tt can do super cruise at Mach 1. 8 without after burner, carry ni internal bay 6 AARAMs plus 2 Side winders, or 2 sidewinders plus 2 1,000 lbs JDAM bombs, plus a 30 mm internal cannon.
The alleged stealthy Su-57 is nowhere near a match knowing it was knocked down by MANPAD missiles in Ukraine. It's not stealthy if the tiny MANPAD radar can lock on and shoot it down.
Question to the board about the good ole days in Tijuana. There seems to be a lot of reminiscing on different boards now. Do you think we all thought it was better 20 years ago because it actually was or because we were 20 years younger and it was still new to us and we saw the world from a younger persons eyes. Am I just jaded now and all the places seem kinda routine now. I don't do hard drugs but from what I have heard that first hit of cocaine or meth is what you are always chasing again but it's never as good as that first hit. Maybe we are all getting like that.

There should be more options other than mostly a $10 Fisha or $100 30 to 60 min second for HK and the other big clubs. There is I guess the VIP room and lap dance, but so few guys do and with tipping for anything sexual would cost more.
I'm thinking both more premium and more cost effective options. Saw on Deja Vu website an all night package for $550 including hotel, drinks, & I entertainer for the night.
I'd like to see an option for a quickie sexo or a BJ or HJ only option for maybe in the $50-$60 range. An option to buy multiple fishas also for a discount might also be nice.
A multi hour or all night option might also be nice. Maybe $200 for multiple hours or $300 for all night. Maybe some will negotiate higher or refuse, but Deja Vu is advertising $550 with a room and drinks.

Thankfully now that CV19 negative testing requirement for air travel into the USA recently cancelled there are many many many more options for mongers needing to get back to a W2 job without so much hassle of quarantine for positive test.
Board a plane and even a short flight from LAX, SAN and lower USA can be in many different and value oriented Pueblas within MEX for P4P fun if can speak even basic Spanish! CV19 ruined Tijuana in many ways.
Need advice from the world travelers here. I NEED a new mongering destination to try. Costa Rica sounds horrible now from reading the board, so I don't want to go back there. Did Brazil and Colombia last year. Disappointed in both after many trips and flight time taken into consideration. Tijuana is always a close fix. I want to try a brand new place. What country do you recommend I try for a new experience.
Couple weeks ago took a girl to Tijuana Playa. The report in the HK thread because she was trying to get away from there. Found out recently the policia hustle for money is strong over there. Just be aware.
Recently took a girl down to Rosarito. Been some time since I was there. Honestly it is not that much better. It is better though. Got a room at a hotel. Was not great but it served its purpose. The girl is hot. Petite and tight body. She works out just enough to have tight legs and butt. Boobs are man made and well done. She has a real pretty face. Laughs a lot. Great smile. Calls me King every day. She is working me and I love it. She would have done 5 hours for $300. I wanted extra time so we did 14 hours for $600. Yes I could probably get a lesser girl for lower price. This girl is top notch in looks and customer service. I picked her up in some random area of Tijuana. She was ready before I got there sending me sexy pics of her outfit. Everything was covered but the pussy was magic and felt amazing. Lots of great sounds. Lots of fucking me back. Lots of sexual energy. She was down for 14 hours of fucking and drinking. I wanted to see Rosarita some as it has been a while. We went to a couple places and the beach. I dropped her off at her place.
Only negative thing is Tijuana roads killing my car.

You spend / use those three things however you want but you're not going to get a pat on the back as if you're somehow showing anyone the path to Eden.

Today the line was an hour walking with sentri.Damn this story scared me. Hour long wait for peds using sentri? Not sure about that even being posible unless they have closed the border to some incident.
Crossed today ped line with sentri and even though the line was super long going all the way over the bridge. Still only took about 5 minutes using sentri.

Maybe we are all getting like that.I think the main reason there is nostalgia for the good ole Tijuana days is that it is now overpriced. So many other countries for punting with much cheaper rates and better service. The main reason Tijuana is a big punting locale is its location, if not for that it would be nothing. Living in Cali I go few times a year as I refuse to monger in the states, but if it was more than a 2 hour flight for me to Tijuana, I wouldn't bother.
Your posts have a similar theme which is how you think things should be in Tijuana. Have you considered that they perhaps don't give a flying fuck what you think?HK really doesn't care. Worst customer service of any business ever. I really wish San Diego legalized prostitution across the board and allowed brothels, strip clubs where every girl is a hooker. And internet hookers to advertise. Watching HK go bankrupt would be a joy.
If prostitution were legal in California across the board, what do you think a solid 8 would get for an hour. Would the price collapse compared to now or would the demand still be higher than supply.

If the guy at the desk for sentries has a shift change anything can happen. New guy can't log on to computer. Maybe someone shows up in sentries line without sentri and using fake identification now he has to go get booked handcuffed walked to the waiting room forms have to be filled out. Sometimes the sentries guy also does the regular line also all it takes is one person with drugs whatever. I go through that border 60 times a year now I seen a lot incidences of drugs, fake, borrowed identification, I would guess before cameras were used, manybpeople snuck into USA everyday with borrowed passports. Now they take the pictures although you can tell them no picture but if you let them get a picture 1st time now they can see if its you or not. But I'm sure many people try copy hair style and even clothes of the passport picture. One time the guy jumped behind the counter at me ready to tackle me for no reason I just look like the typical white San Diego meth head to him. He was passed when he couldn't find drugs on me.

Very few walking areas and high crime. Also very minimal nightlife due to poverty and high crime. Its not really setup as a mongering destination. You need to make it one for yourself.
I would rather pay little more for girls and be in a fun location with many things to do besides just pfp.

If hk closed to make that money up, the 2 dollar beers at other bars would be 5 bucks, they would buy every junk motel in Zona and triple prices for short time rental, and most clubs on revolucion if they don't already own them.

Need advice from the world travelers here. I NEED a new mongering destination to try. Costa Rica sounds horrible now from reading the board, so I don't want to go back there. Did Brazil and Colombia last year. Disappointed in both after many trips and flight time taken into consideration. Tijuana is always a close fix. I want to try a brand new place. What country do you recommend I try for a new experience.

Time is still an issue its about 17 hrs with layovers no direct flights from LA. But food hotels and play are inexpensive. I had some short timers (no pics) but these are long time girls 1-3 days. Now granted I used to live there for a few years so I have a little more experience than the guy that flys in and out and is drunk 24/7 and complains they can find cute girls. For me these girls are cute. Although if I showed you some of the soapy girls from Poseidon dam you would run there. Ha ha. But those were 2 hours worth of play for almost American prices so not the best value but. Hot.
In any case, I like it in Thailand because there is other things to do than just Monger. I snorkeled, scuba, played with elephants, tigers, went to temples and other activities in between.
DGL.
Since a few of my TJ favorites are still gone visiting their hometowns I opted to pop my AMP cherry and switch it up with some Asian action. Even though it was a little pricier at 200 all in for a half hour (I believe full hour is either 210 or 220), I got to say, it was a pretty great experience and they had a handful of pretty hot Asian girls. And let’s be honest, with the money you end up spending in HK with the sex, room fees, fichas, food, gas, cab, etc, you end up spending around 200 at least anyway. I'll probably skip my next usual TJ trip and opt for an Asian girl again since they treated me like a damn king. Even though it's supposed to be a massage place, I didn't even get a massage, which was fine with me since I was there strictly for the sex. DFK + BBBJ, only using the cover for intercourse. I think I could have even gone BBFS but there was a bit of a language barrier with the girl I picked and since it was my first time I didn't want to mess anything up but I'm pretty sure she was giving me the go ahead for no condom. If any of you (Senior Members) want to try this place out send me a PM and I'll give you the details. It's in the Kearny Mesa area in a nice discreet business suite. I wrote about my session on the sister site and they’re open from 8am until midnight. I'm going to start telling the uptight TJ chicks they better step their game up because these Asian girls are giving them a run for their money.

Artiste,
Buenos Aires is a very civilized city with a very well developed internet escort industry. I booked a few very hot, nice and sweet young girls, also rejected a few baits and switches, older women showed up ect.
BS As also has lots of bars, clubs, cafes, Tango shows, lots of restaurants and the best steaks in the world. The city is very nice, clean, fairly safe; people are civilized, nice, fun, friendly despite their dire poverty now. Tourists have complained that bars and clubs surrounding the Recoleta cemetery are almost always ficha bars with putas. There are also lots of actions on Ave Florida. They could not even find civie bars in that area. The Argentina pesos exchange used to be 3:1 in 2000's, now it's 103:1. A bro who lives half time in BS As said the putas track the dollar. Escorts are charging $100 for one hour.
A bro suggested to go to smaller cities further South of BS As with lots of hot light-skinned girls at lower rates.
From BS As cheap vacations in Foz do Iquacu for a couple nights air and hotel can be booked for $200-300. F the I has the world's largest majestic water falls with lots of hot tourists from all over the world, a very nice, clean, green, quiet, mellow spot for a vacation. The Brazil side has a lot of casas with nice, clean, hot young girls for $50- 60ST. I took a hot girl from club Krystal for $300. Her pussy smelled fishy, ruined my sexy mood. Damn. From F the I you can take a cab ride crossing the river into Paraguay where there are lots of hot girls at lower rates. One of the bros stayed for weeks and sent me videos of him partying with some of the sweetest-looking girls.
To me BS As is the perfect place for girls, food, entertainment, beating Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia, El Salvador, Panama in all aspects of sex and fun by a wide margin, but not much is posted in the Argentine site. To me Argentina and her people are the finest people in the Latin world, better than French and Italian.
Central America IMO is barely trampled on but for several reasons. You need a car to go from place to place. Very few walking areas and high crime. Also very minimal nightlife due to poverty and high crime. Its not really setup as a mongering destination. You need to make it one for yourself.
I would rather pay little more for girls and be in a fun location with many things to do besides just pfp.

Nothing,
Considering the high safety risks, high costs in time and money going to Tijuana, I have also pivoted to local Asian honeys.
There are lots of girls working out of apartments in OC and LA counties, more fun, sexy and intimate than massage parlors. Some of them look young. Fresh, pretty with sweet, loving attitudes without dead fish pussies problem. Costs are comparable to or even cheaper than HK's, without long drives and crossing the border, which are always risky. The long drives are risky; guys have been driving back DUI or falling asleep at the wheel. It's stupid to risk my ass in accidents, dying or being injured just for the pussies.
A lot of girls are available for BBFS. A very hot girl wanted to take a beach vacation and invited a wingman for a long weekend of relaxation, unlimited sex and love, gratis. She was his favorite. Man, it's hard to beat that deal.
To me these boards are about sharing information. Maybe we can help each other with ideas. If not directly maybe indirectly.
The rest of whatever point you trying to make. I am not interested in that path.
As I've said before with mongers, it's their dick, their time and their money. You spend / use those three things however you want but you're not going to get a pat on the back as if you're somehow showing anyone the path to Eden.
I follow a girl on IG from Nicaragua. Would go see her in a heart beat.
Doing a blind trip to a city in Mexico. Maybe can learn things from this trip that can help with that concept. Will post any relevant info I get.
On the IG point. So far I would need to travel to Cuba to meet a girl from IG. She is cute. Maybe one day if my current path does not work out.

Had my first 3 some at KissFresh. $5 street girls next to bus station Reloj de Flores.
Great Memories.I might be one of the cheapest mf'ers who ever lived and just within the past couple of days have criticized all the dudes on here donating large sums of $$$ to chicas. But even I wouldn't have the heart to pay a girl only $5 for sex. Even if that is "fair" pricing in that market. I'd just feel too bad about that - $20/$25 minimum for me, LOL.

Once in Lima, Peru I paid a little under $5 for service. Mind you they don't hand out free soap or paper towels. Luckily for me I was carrying around my douchebag at the time which contained everything I needed for a no holds barred session. Including a portable Mylar blanket for bed skeebies.

...portable Mylar blanket for bed skeebies.I'm not sure why I never thought of this, but damn what I great idea. I do my best to be smart in avoiding STI's, but it's equally perilous to shag on those cum fungus, bug infested, putrific mattresses. I'm headed to Amazon now. .

I hear ya man. I mean, I only live 20 minutes away from the border and even that is a drag at times, but then again, I don't have Sentri or GE. I normally cross on foot so it's not that big of a deal since most of my trips are late at night with little to no lines. But yeah, until my usual Mexican girls return from their summer trips, I'm going to be visiting these Asian girls a lot more now since they're very convenient, fun, sexy, playful, squeaky clean and offer GFE. Hard to beat that.

Buenos Aires is a very civilized city with a very well developed internet escort industry. I booked a few very hot, nice and sweet young girls, also rejected a few baits and switches, older women showed up ect.
BS As also has lots of bars, clubs, cafes, Tango shows, lots of restaurants and the best steaks in the world. The city is very nice, clean, fairly safe; people are civilized, nice, fun, friendly despite their dire poverty now. Tourists have complained that bars and clubs surrounding the Recoleta cemetery are almost always ficha bars with putas. There are also lots of actions on Ave Florida. They could not even find civie bars in that area. The Argentina pesos exchange used to be 3:1 in 2000's, now it's 103:1. A bro who lives half time in BS As said the putas track the dollar. Escorts are charging $100 for one hour.
A bro suggested to go to smaller cities further South of BS As with lots of hot light-skinned girls at lower rates.
From BS As cheap vacations in Foz do Iquacu for a couple nights air and hotel can be booked for $200-300. F the I has the world's largest majestic water falls with lots of hot tourists from all over the world, a very nice, clean, green, quiet, mellow spot for a vacation. The Brazil side has a lot of casas with nice, clean, hot young girls for $50- 60ST. I took a hot girl from club Krystal for $300. Her pussy smelled fishy, ruined my sexy mood. Damn. From F the I you can take a cab ride crossing the river into Paraguay where there are lots of hot girls at lower rates. One of the bros stayed for weeks and sent me videos of him partying with some of the sweetest-looking girls.

I was there back in 2001 - 2006 during the economic crisis. Very cheap and loaded with things to do. Inflation however is very real in BA and can be spontaneous. I have no idea what the situation is like now but sometimes costs can be sky high in Argentina.

If I look back at the last 5 years and think of the most sociable, outgoing, beautiful girls I've spoken to in San diego or nyc the last 5 years they were all from Argentina. Many are of half Italian and half Spain decent. Which is perfect for me anyway. I like short thin girls.

Stupid trash Gringos drive up prices in everything from apartments to putas, and treat locals like shit. Mexicans are running out of tolerance, patience, hospitality.
The retarded fat pig in HK, with stolen banks' money, should be deported first.
https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2022-07-27/americans-are-flooding-mexico-city-some-mexicans-want-them-to-go-home
Californians and other Americans are flooding Mexico City. Some locals want them to go home.
Mexico CITY — Leer en español.
Fernando Bustos Gorozpe was sitting with friends in a cafe here when he realized that — once again — they were outnumbered.
"We're the only brown people," said Bustos, a 38-year-old writer and university professor. "We're the only people speaking Spanish except the waiters."
Mexico has long been the top foreign travel destination for Americans, its bountiful beaches and picturesque pueblos luring tens of millions of USA Visitors annually. But in recent years, a growing number of tourists and remote workers — hailing from Brooklyn, and. Why. , Silicon Valley and points in between — have flooded the nation's capital and left a scent of new-wave imperialism.
The influx, which has accelerated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and is likely to continue as inflation rises, is transforming some of the city's most treasured neighborhoods into expat enclaves.
People sit at Quentin Cafe, a coffee shop popular with Americans and remote-workers.
Americans have long been able to stay in Mexico up to six months without a visa. One said Mexico City "reminds me of being in a more friendly, more clean at times, Brooklyn. "(Celia Talbot Tobin / For The Times).
In leafy, walkable quarters such as Roma, Condesa, Centro and Juarez, rents are soaring as Americans and other foreigners snap up houses and landlords trade long-term renters for travelers willing to pay more on Airbnb. Taquerias, corner stores and fondas — small, family-run lunch spots — are being replaced by Pilates studios, co-working spaces and sleek cafes advertising oat-milk lattes and avocado toast.
And English — well, it's everywhere: ringing out at supermarkets, natural wine bars and fitness classes in the park.
At Lardo, a Mediterranean restaurant where, on any given night, three-quarters of the tables are filled with foreigners, a Mexican man in a well-cut suit recently took a seat at the bar, gazed at the English-language menu before him and sighed as he handed it back: "A menu in Spanish, please. ".
Some chilangos, as locals are known, are fed up.
Recently, expletive-laced posters appeared around town.
"New to the city? Working remotely?" they read in English. "You're a f—ing plague and the locals f—ing hate you. Leave."
That sentiment echoed the hundreds of responses that poured in after a young American posted this seemingly innocuous tweet: "Do yourself a favor and remote work in Mexico City — it is truly magical."
"Please don't," read one of the kinder replies. "This city is becoming more and more expensive every day in part because of people like you, and you don't even realize or care about it."
Hugo Van der Merwe, 31 — a video game designer who grew up in Florida and Namibia and has spent the last several months working remotely from Mexico City, Montreal and Bogota, Colombia — said he understands why locals are vexed by the growing population of "digital nomads."
Tourists gather before departing on a bike tour of popular taco spots.
Tourists gather July 6 for a bike tour of taco spots in Mexico City. (Celia Talbot Tobin / For The Times).
"There's a distinction between people who want to learn about the place they are in and those who just like it because it's cheap," he said. "I've met a number of people who don't really care that they're in Mexico, they just care that it's cheap."
Clear financial incentives are drawing Americans to Mexico City — where the average local salary is $450 a month.
For the cost of a $2,000 one-bedroom in Koreatown, an Angeleno can rent a penthouse here.
Despite growing tensions, Mexico City is not Paris, where an American stumbling over French in a boulangerie will get a dose of hostility along with her croissants. It's not Berlin or Barcelona, where locals in recent years have mounted major protests over excessive tourism and the gobbling up of urban properties by global investment firms.
Tourists enjoying Santa Luzia sight view in Lisbon. April 25th. Lisbon, Portugal. Jose Sarmento Matos for the La Times.
Welcome to Portugal, the new expat haven. Californians, please go home.
The vast majority of people in this crowded, colorful metropolis are unwaveringly kind and patient with international visitors, who in the first four months of this year spent $851 million on hotels alone, according to tourism records.
But there is friction beneath the surface, as more locals consider what gentrification means for the city's economics, culture and even race relations.
Over the weekend, a tenant advocacy group hosted a walking tour of "places we have lost to gentrification, touristification and forced displacement. "
"Our homes," the event flier read, "now house digital nomads."
The dynamic playing out here is, in many ways, an old-world proble.

I don't make the price chart. I just go by the rules.
OK cool no problem. Just to be clear, I wasn't judging / criticizing what you were doing as I understand you were just paying what the going rate is and is probably what the vast majority down there pay anyway. Was only speaking for myself and that I personally would find it very awkward to pay a chica only $5 for sex LOL.

I used to get a kick out of these low prices. It made my sessions more worth it to me considering the cost / benefit ratio but yeah after a while you start looking at yourself in the mirror and ummmmm.
I believe in a square deal on both sides of the coin.

I believe in a square deal on both sides of the coin.I haven't gotten as low as $5, but using pesos, the exchange rate has given me plenty of experiences in the $12 range. I'm fine with it if they're fine with it. I usually offer them more for extras like BBBJ, MSOG, and generally more time if I like them. In the end, they make somewhere between $25-$40 and we both leave feeling happy.

Got back from Tijuana. Have more detailed reports in each respective section. Some general conclusions I have made are:
1. Monday's are a really off day compared to the rest of the week.
2. Street girl selection has gotten to be really bad.
3. Many maseros are still really annoying & some even scammers.
4. HK at night is still really busy even early in the week.
5. Tijuana isn't that great anymore and I'd like to find a new spot.
6. The best looking girls are from Sinaloa.
7. HK will have the stunners, but it seems only 1 of the other big 3 will have a good lineup on any given night.
Here are mine from a Thailand trip I was on. I was in Bangkok (Ratchada area), Phuket (Patong), Huahin, Krabi. Time is still an issue its about 17 hrs with layovers no direct flights from LA. But food hotels and play are inexpensive. I had some short timers (no pics) but these are long time girls 1-3 days. Now granted I used to live there for a few years so I have a little more experience than the guy that flys in and out and is drunk 24/7 and complains they can find cute girls. For me these girls are cute. Although if I showed you some of the soapy girls from Poseidon dam you would run there. Ha ha. But those were 2 hours worth of play for almost American prices so not the best value but. Hot.
In any case, I like it in Thailand because there is other things to do than just Monger. I snorkeled, scuba, played with elephants, tigers, went to temples and other activities in between.
DGL.Man it looks like you were living the life of riley over there in Thailand or should I say Thighland LOL. I am just a little bit jealous, one day I hope to visit there and the PI. Nice looking cuties you were with!!
Not sure. Have not checked the ISG area for there yet. There is one cutie from there who messages me a lot. There is another couple who have social interactions but not regularly. Hot looking girls. I have more luck on IG from Cuba girls than anywhere. There are South American IG possibilities but a monger only has so much time on his hands.
If Mexico and my upgrade to GFE had not booked me into 2023 I may consider it.
How is Cuba as a mongering destination. Anyone been.
Sex workers are not as bad as people make out. They trying to get money and mongers are the revenue source. Once one gets past that and sees it as a business then it is just a matter of getting value for your dollar.
My biggest problem with sex workers is their time management. Lot of them do lot have very good consideration of others in general. They may have some sex skills down pat but asking them for help trying to plan a trip can be like extracting teeth.
Actually I think most of my stress from Mexican sex workers comes when I try to make plans outside of the club.
The club buiz I got a PhD in.
Remember the hooker that scammed Paul McCartney. He married the *****. She was such a good actress. Trust none of them.
I haven't gotten as low as $5, but using pesos, the exchange rate has given me plenty of experiences in the $12 range. I'm fine with it if they're fine with it. I usually offer them more for extras like BBBJ, MSOG, and generally more time if I like them. In the end, they make somewhere between $25-$40 and we both leave feeling happy.Well I know $5 is bad but times before were a bit different, I can tell you I prob gave some less then that. Or maybe more depending on your definition. I and and group of Club Hombre's (if you remember that reference) in the early 90's went to Cuba, we rented a Casita with a pool hosted a pool party with food, drinks, pool and invited girls over. We did not pay a dime other than having a home with pool and food and nice beds some girls stayed over and we'll we had a good time for 1 week. (now we did enter though mexico, not the US). I don't think you may get that deal anylonger but sometimes things align and we were pioneers (or so we think) at that time.
DGL.
Man it looks like you were living the life of riley over there in Thailand or should I say Thighland LOL. I am just a little bit jealous, one day I hope to visit there and the PI. Nice looking cuties you were with!!You can do it, if you hit it right you can get flights from the westcoast for about $650 at times RT. China Air / EVA Air. Usually in Nov / Dec time frame. You can get rooms for 35-50 a night simple. The PI is pretty close in pricing but Makati a little more expensive and San Fernando Panpanaga is cheap but not much to do there other than monger. If you don't have an SO, you can plan this trip and enjoy. You can hit me up if you want detailed info.

7. HK will have the stunners, but it seems only 1 of the other big 3 will have a good lineup on any given night.Here is my personal experience.
1. HK chicas tell me that either Sunday, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday are their days off but they got to pick.
2. Many of the better looking street girls went to work inside HK, especially the ones that used to work outside of HK in the alley. Some go back to work in the streets on their days off from HK.
3. Most of the meseros are scammers. Even the boss of the meseros is a thief. I speculate that he was forcing meseros to send him kickbacks for favorable shifts thereby compelling the meseros to pass on the scam to customers who are too much of pussies to defend themselves.
4. Yes, but HK fill their early week schedule with really ugly girls who don't really work weekends. Why would they do that? I suspect that they are paid differently. Hence they tend to stand around and don't give a shit instead of going after guys like the chicas that work the weekends.
5. HK is pricing itself out and the fucking stupid rules is making it not fun. I was just there for about 4 hours. I did not see a single make out session by mongers. No kissing? WTF?
6. Sinaloa chicas are hot. But HK chicas routinely lie about where they are from to deter stalkers. So it is nearly impossible to know where the chicas are actually from until you follow them home. Then the cops get involve and your photo is passed on to the web. But that is another issue.
7. I think I am getting used to the zona norte, because I really hardly see a stunner any more. Part of the problem is that chicas tend to do their makeup the same way. I think there are about 4 cookie cutter look for chicas to fall into if we mongers sit down and create a profile for HK chicas.

I've always been curious about visiting Argentina. But you're right, not much on here about that place.I heard that the govt cracked down on prostitution recently and that is why the ISG thread is dead. Is this true? Can you monger there safely?
Just a heads up to those that might get tired of Tijuana and want to do something different. Happened to be in Rosarito Saturday and was nicely surprised on how busy it was. Lots of people having fun and enjoying the great weather, food and drinks. Noticed a new strip club as you walk down the street towards Papas and Beer but didn't go inside. Papas and Beer has some really good performers on the upcoming weekends. So if your younger and got some game I'd definitely check it out or even if your visiting from out of town it's well worth the cab fare to just get away from the Zona 24/7.
Despite the recent warnings from the government not to go it was very safe and just lots of people with families enjoying a great summer at the beach.

I've Ubered to Rosarito for as low as 160 and usually no more than 220 so we're talking 8-11 dollars which is pretty amazing for a 30-40 minute ride. Love Papas and Beer and you're right that Rosarito is muy tranquilo.

Despite the recent warnings from the government not to go it was very safe and just lots of people with families enjoying a great summer at the beach.I have been in that strip club near Papas and Beer. It was very very odd. For that location I could not figure out why there were not more gringo's or more girls in the club. The place had just one or two girls dancing. I got a beer. Got a lap dance. The girl did seem a bit "oppressed" is all I can say. Not quite as perky and sweet as HK's girls if that makes any sense. Had a beautiful body. The dancing girl knew one word of English when I bought her a beer. And that word was MONEY. Yes. I still remember that as long as I kept giving her singles she would let me grope her a bit.
Bad Girls club just south of Papa's and Beer was a little more welcoming atmosphere. And more girls but I still can't figure out why that bar next to Papas and Beer area didn't have many folks in it. (yes they needed more girls). But still.

Went to Rosarito last week. The hotel almost gave my room away it was so packed.
Felt completely safe there. Hit a couple stores. Hit the beach. Hit a few bars. Will go back will just book better room further in advance.
While HK maybe "the club" in Zona Norte it's also very good that it has some competition. As there are some beautiful girls that go to Adalitas, Chicago, Tropical at times. And if HK charges to much. Customers will just start going more to these other clubs.
So hopefully the other clubs will keep HK in check a bit as well. (I hope).

I agree Mondays should be avoided. My favorite days is Thurs-Sat. Occasionally I will go on Wednesday. The quality of SG's has dropped off since Covid began. There used to some good SG's in front of HK alley. Entrance. It is also extremely rare to find a good SW these days. The other downside is that price to quality is quite low compared to other countries.
Got back from Tijuana. Have more detailed reports in each respective section. Some general conclusions I have made are:
1. Monday's are a really off day compared to the rest of the week.
2. Street girl selection has gotten to be really bad.
3. Many maseros are still really annoying & some even scammers.
4. HK at night is still really busy even early in the week.
5. Tijuana isn't that great anymore and I'd like to find a new spot.
6. The best looking girls are from Sinaloa.
7. HK will have the stunners, but it seems only 1 of the other big 3 will have a good lineup on any given night.

Despite the recent warnings from the government not to go it was very safe and just lots of people with families enjoying a great summer at the beach.I've been to Rosarito a few times. A bit nicer beach than Playas de Tijuana. Last time I went was last year. There's a taxi de ruta you can take not too far from Hotel Caesars (couple streets down) to Rosarito that was only 22.50 pesos (like $1. 10) each way. Don't know if inflation has driven that price up but still an incredibly cheap and straightforward way to get down to Rosarito.

Love Papas and Beer and you're right that Rosarito is muy tranquilo.Yeah it had been sometime since visiting so it was nice to see good crowds and people spending money in the bars and restaurants. I have a lot of really good memories in that city. In August they have some good musicians playing at Papas and Beer. Banda MS, Wisin why Yandel, Daddy Yankee and Maluma. You can get tickets on their website. Labor Day weekend they are going to have little Jon. Most here probably aren't into this type of music but for you younger guys it is surely going to attract some nice females.

-G.Not sure what day of the week or time you went in but from my short visit is that Rosarito seems to have more of a family atmosphere and not just young college kids. So bars like Papas and Beer still get the young kids but they don't have a bunch of money and may no try to visit the strip club until they have struck out in the bars. I remember this happening back in Tijuana before 9/11 and all the youngsters showing up to AB around 2 am trying to get a girl before they went back to the US.
I definitely wouldn't go to Rosarito if you want to go to a strip club. Just enjoy the beach and drinking at the bars watching the young girls.

Did the taxis raise their prices? I used to pay $5 after crossing the border (white taxis) -.
Now they are asking $7-8 because of "inflation."

Baja Beach Fest link https://bajabeachfest.com location. Rosarito Beach. Weekends Aug. 12-14th and Aug 19-21st. (Daddy Yankee, Maluma, Farruko and more) On these weekends, the queues at the pedestrian border crossing "pedeast" towards the USA will be huge. (last time it was something like 5 hours).
I usually avioid taking the taxi's. I discovered that the taxi vans stop at these stands that look like bus stops. You can catch a van at 3rd & Revolucion.

If you have bags or suitcases or look non mezixan your gona need to walk away from gringo price and see if they lower the price.

Relied solely on the $1 taxi vans, free HK limo, Uber, and Didi to get around Tijuana. Am done with taxis unless I absolutely have to.

Ten pesos for a ride from the border to Centro is quite the bargain and you might even meet a madura who tickles your fancy, just sayin.

Since a few of my TJ favorites are still gone visiting their hometowns I opted to pop my AMP cherry and switch it up with some Asian action. Even though it was a little pricier at 200 all in for a half hour (I believe full hour is either 210 or 220), I got to say, it was a pretty great experience and they had a handful of pretty hot Asian girls. And lets be honest, with the money you end up spending in HK with the sex, room fees, fichas, food, gas, cab, etc, you end up spending around 200 at least anyway. I'll probably skip my next usual TJ trip and opt for an Asian girl again since they treated me like a damn king. Even though it's supposed to be a massage place, I didn't even get a massage, which was fine with me since I was there strictly for the sex. DFK + BBBJ, only using the cover for intercourse. I think I could have even gone BBFS but there was a bit of a language barrier with the girl I picked and since it was my first time I didn't want to mess anything up but I'm pretty sure she was giving me the go ahead for no condom. If any of you (Senior Members) want to try this place out send me a PM and I'll give you the details. It's in the Kearny Mesa area in a nice discreet business suite. I wrote about my session on the sister site and theyre open from 8am until midnight. I'm going to start telling the uptight TJ chicks they better step their game up because these Asian girls are giving them a run for their money.Hi,
Can you give me some advice on how to find these places in the San Diego area? I love Tijuana but sometimes I just can't put in the time. Any sites or places you can recommend that has nice Asian girls. I haven't had any luck.
I'll be making my return to ZN tomorrow afternoon after a little break from the club scene. Had been going about twice a week for the past few months but lately my Asian girls in the SD AMP scene have been keeping me happily occupied. Been on time off from work this entire week so I figured I could squeeze in a TJ trip. Hoping to see a couple girls returning from their summer vacations.
All the clubs were much better Thursday night compared to my last experience Saturday last week. HK density reduced, to a good level. And the woman you will see walking around or sitting lonely at a bar is 4 x higher. I pretty much would never recommend anyone flying in for the weekend at these places if they can come for weekdays. Got a $7 dollar drink with my VIP card I should of been doing that instead of $4 beers, in order to get my money's worth. I know some guys are afraid mixed drinks, but I needed something new. Had a problem with a Gloria bar masero in street grabbed me to go in took few seconds to get him off. The place to be is adelitas. I got my 2 for 1 beers at gold palace but I only do that to chug 2 beers in 15 minutes as its often no fun. But adelitas was crowded but still placesnto sit and probably 1. 5 to 2. 5 woman per man. And like others said, it's the non Mexicans that are making that place move to a level above l HK. Columbia Spanish for me is a lot easier to understand and sounds hotter. There was another one from venazuala. The prices though still too much for me but at least the girls tried hard to get me to say yes. I even told them both from the get go I was only there to drink but they worked hard to convince me to say yes. The way chavelas girls used to and HK girls would occasionally before the no touch no flirt business model.
