General Reports

[QUOTE=Jmioffe;2431984]Thanks for weighing in! I've seen bullfights in Madrid too. I enjoyed watching the amateur baseball, more for the community aspect than the sport of it. Ah, I wasn't sure if what I saw at Antigua Bodega was exactly mariachi, maybe there's another category for it. It was local music though. What is Antigua known for?

Oh, another add to my list is to see some Jai Alai, since there's that big place on Avenida Revolucion.

Which coffee shops did you visit in Jardines and are there other good locations?[/QUOTE]Antigua has lots of different performances. Plays, local musicians, that sort of thing. A different artist each week. They may have had a mariachi band there at some point, but that is not their specialty.

Jai Alai hasn't been played in Tijuana for decades. The fronton is now a concert venue.

Where are you getting this list? Jardines Playas is simply a neighborhood in Playas. It's being somewhat gentrified, so you'll find lots of coffee shops, small restaurants, taco stands, etc. I really can't think of anything going out of your way for. Wander around and you'll find something you'll like. Frankly, I like Sunset Lounge, but technically that's in Playas not in Jardines.

There's a local chain of coffee shops called D'Volada. They're all over. I like them, the coffee is good and prices reasonable. For higher end you can't beat Praga on Revolucion.

The list is just what I gathered from reading and talking to people. In Jardines, I went to Perimetro and Kurtoz for coffee. I liked Perimetro better.

Will be making a trip in a few weeks.

2 - No, there is no taxi service that crosses the border. That's on you. Once across an Uber or taxi is the preferred method, although the Zona Norte is within walking distance.

3 - El Copeo has dancing. Las Pulgas is the largest dance club in the area. Just south of that is Coko Bongo. On Calle Sexta are Blanco why Negro and La Estrella, both dance places. Also on the same street, La Mezcalera has a patio in the back where a DJ plays and there is dancing.

Flying out of the bay area on Saturday, staying in San Isydro.

, with a home base at Adelitas hotel.

I'm not one to be paranoid, but the media has been roaring about the coronavirus around here. Looking for some thoughts? Anyone else trippin' on it? I'll mostly likely say screw it, and go anyway. Long live La Zona! 🙌.

Although sleeping around in Tijuana during a viral outbreak isn't the brightest idea on paper or reality.

The International Farmacia on Calle 1, at the corner of the trinket alley across from the McDonald, will sell you all grades of Viagra, also any prescription drugs with no need for scripts, but prices will be slightly higher.

Or you can ask any farmacia to refer you to a doctor nearby for scripts. Doctors typically charge $10-15 per script.

There are reports of infection in CDMX and Baja Calif Sur, but nothing in Tijuana. San Francisco has a lot more infection cases than anywhere else on the West Coast.

I was in La Zona last Friday. Everything seemed normal. The bars still have all the usual crowds having fun. There was no worry.

You should be safe to go for a few more weeks until further reports on the situation.

Should I be trippin' about the Coronavirus this weekend in La Zona?

I forget the name, but next to it is a sign for medical consultation 60 pesos. I've used it before and was pretty seamless. I walked in, got a script, paid 60 pesos, walked a few steps next door, and the pharmacist filled the script.

[QUOTE=LuvMexicanas;2432587]So you're saying it wasn't a good idea for me to have DFK'd, DATY'd, received BBBJ and boned seven chicas last week in Tijuana?[/QUOTE]For your physical health: not a good idea.

For your mental health: Great idea!

Let's not get into spiritual heath.

LuvMexicanas.

Most large farmacias on Revo have doctors' offices next to them, some have signs saying $5. They will direct you to the docs nearby. However the docs would diagnose, treat and prescribe only if you can speak enough Spanish to explain your problems. I suspect you speak Spanish a lot better than the rest of us.

A farmacia on the West side of Revo, near calle 2, has an old English-speaking doc who will treat and sign scripts for $5. Not sure if the doc is still there or he may have kicked the bucket.

The International farmacia on Calle 1 will quickly sell you any presc drugs without scripts if you know what you need.

[QUOTE=Jmioffe;2432754]How does this work? Hotel in two places?[/QUOTE]Haha yea. So I'll have my hotel in San Ysidro, where I'll stay Saturday night, as my flight arrives in the early evening. Probably only take a few chica's up from HK, so no Adelitas hotel that night. Sunday will be a full day in Tijuana, so I'll take advantage of the $20 rooms at Adelitas, to have a place to charge my phone, and ditch the room fee for Adelitas chicas and peraditas. Most likely will get back into the states Sunday night.
