General Reports

[QUOTE=AmorPorFavor;2575664]Very interesting. Looks to be new. A recon and report would be much appreciated. It will all depend on the quality of the chicas.[/QUOTE]Seriously, you guys got to get out of that sewer of the Zona Norte more often. La Cueva has been around for years.

[QUOTE=KoolBeans;2575545][URL]https://lacuevabar.com/index.php[/URL]

Anyone been to La Cueva del Puedo? It looks like their prices are lower than the usual HK and Tropical prices and the rooms look great. I like adventuring and thought Zona Norte was the only fun spot in Tijuana. I may have to try it out on Monday next week. Possibly take the vans to centro and walk during the day or maybe taxi / Uber it.[/QUOTE]I, personally, like La Cueva. The beers are substantially cheaper than anywhere else, and IIRC (haven't been since pre-Covid) the fichas are slightly less expensive than the Zona bars. I am told the chicas are roughly the same price as the Zona, although I doubt they've escalated to the ridiculous HK prices.

It's a large place with a big raised stage in the middle, with lots of tables surrounding it. Along one wall is a long bar where some girls will sit. The place caters more to locals, so you'll stick out somewhat as a gringo. Locals tend to party in groups, so you'll see lots of groups of Mexican guys. Functional Spanish will be extremely beneficial. The music is predominantly in Spanish.

They have an extremely annoying policy. When a girl starts her dance routine, after a minute, her handler will take her by the hand and lead her all over the crowded club, soliciting tips. This often goes on until her set is over, so you never get to see her dance much. OTOH, guys in the far reaches of the club get to see the girl up close, so I guess it equals out.

There is a small hotel on-prem, but I can't tell you what the price is. There used to be video screens above the urinals in the men's room with pix of the hotel rooms.

It's extremely slow in the afternoons, and really doesn't get going until 9 pm or so.

So, if you don't mind being the only gringo, and can speak some Spanish, and don't mind partying like the locals (in other words this isn't a hard-core fuck factory like HK or Adelita), then you'll have a good time. If you're looking for another HK Club, keep looking.

[QUOTE=MamaGuevos;2575586]I have Global Entry and typically I entered the country using a machine in about 2 minutes (prior to COVID- haven't left the USA since Feb 2020). Is there anything like that at the San Ysidro border crossing? Does my Trusted Traveler status get me anything that will allow me to skip the line?

BTW: I have no idea where my Global Entry card might be. It has never been necessary at Miami or JFK, where I typically have entered the USA from abroad. I only have my passport.[/QUOTE]With Global Entry you simply walk to the front of the regular line and show your card to the gate guards. They let you in and you walk to the border in the "SENTRI" line. You will go to the SENTRI checkpoints and they will process you through pretty quickly. You do not need your passport to return to the US.

You need the card if you plan to use it to walk across. The guards check the card to allow you to bypass the regular line.

I don't drink and just like watching the ladies and taking them arriba. The website shows some good looking rooms and at reasonable rates. Tropical is similar as you state the dancer completes the dance and goes around the club asking for tips. I don't mind giving $1-$2 if I'm not near the stage, since the club would be boring without performers. Also like to see groups of people having fun. I always travel solo and enjoy meeting new people having a good time.

[QUOTE=TomJackin;2575502]Come one, come all Gringos, the zona Norte is ready for this weekend![/QUOTE]YaHoo! My original trip plans got canceled with frikin Southwest flight cancelations so I be in SD this weekend and HK is "Talking to Me" . May book a room Sunday and stay over.

This seems like a crazy question but when asked why coming into Tijuana I said I have dentist appt to get across and last week the border guard said you need to show you have an appointment. He let me in but this weekend want to cross and do a little "sign seeing" . Other times I just walked in and they never asked.

How the hell are all the gringo's getting into Tijuana to enjoy the bars?

I don't mind paying a 6 month tourist visa. Is that what some of you have?

[QUOTE=LuvMexicanas;2575680]Exactly why I'm not rolling into Tijuana until July 7 because I want no part of Gringolandia over the next four days.[/QUOTE]Yeah Tijuana is going to be just terrible this weekend. I decided to go back to GDL instead of gringolandia.

[QUOTE=StRobert;2575803]Exactly! Tell the Mexican guard that you want to buy 6 month visa for 30 $. Next time use entrance for Mexicans and only show visa. No problems and no questions.[/QUOTE]Great advice. Will do and thank you. Will be down there this Sunday if in that neck of the woods.

It just depends on how much they want to hassle you. Maybe angling for a bribe, maybe just being a dick. You don't need to fake a dentist appointment. They will let you in.

But I agree that you should buy the $30 FMM and not worry about it in the future.

That is all.

Will be in Tijuana this Sunday afternoon / night if anyone looking to connect up and swap mongering adventures. Send me a message through the chat board.

[QUOTE=Gregyyr;2575851]Great advice. Will do and thank you. Will be down there this Sunday if in that neck of the woods.[/QUOTE]When you buy 6 months visa on the paper visa is printed: your name, date of birth, US passport number or passport card, visa number and stamp with date of transaction e. g. July 3 (today) - so your visa is valid until January 3 - 2022 So you can enter Mexico without restrictions until January 3. I always use the entrance for Mexicans, shows a visa and passport card, never have any questions or problems with entering. Very easy. But it's important not to lose your visa.

I went to Tijuana all day Saturday, staring early. Holy shit, the Mexicans forgot it was a holiday weekend and did not open additional gates. At 8 am, it was a fucking zoo getting into Mexico. Tijuana traffic was extremely heavy. On the other hand, the number of mongers in the Zona Norte was about average or even below average. By about 2 pm, I was in HK having fun. But left HK by 5 to avoid the Saturday crowds, so I'm unsure how crowded it got. Finished the night out at Tropicals where it was pretty mellow.

Dentist. Check.

Brake job on the car. Check.

Chugga chugga a favorite. Check.

2 delicious and affordable Mexican meals. Check.

Sucked on 6 pairs of titties at $1 a chica. Check.

One of the things I love about traveling to other countries is that it's a constant process of learning. And Zona Norte feeds that quite well!

Couple points to mention.

1. Instead of paying $$$ a day to park at the border I did the trolley for the first time. (made the mistake of parking at Palm Ave trolley station) and should have went to exits further to Beyer Blvd which is just much closer to the border.

2. Stayed at Cascadas. Got there early before 1 pm to do some stuff around town so I checked luggage at the Hong Kong bar desk downstairs as Cascadas rooms are not ready until about 2:30 pm. (wonder if your VIP if it makes a difference. Anyone have comments on that).

3. I had a room at Cascadas on the 5th floor near the front staiirs. OMG it was noisy! Which I am sure isn't a surprise to anyone.

4. Went over to Rio Mall and got a Mexico sim card with Telcel as Verizon sucks so much down there in the bars.

5. Bars in Zona Norte were really dead about 3:30 pm when I finally hit the clubs. For a few hours I thought. Dam, I should not have come down on a Sunday holiday weekend etc. (but that perception did change after a few more hours).

I learned you need to be patient! The place was rockin by 7 pmish.

6. Cute tiny street girl in the alley behind HK wanted $25 for 30 minutes. Said it was $10 for the room but if I took her to my room at Cascadas it would be $60. Not sure why but I was tempted as it was so dead at the clubs.

7. I looked for Mileidy in Tropicana who I was with for the first time the week before. Frickin Amazing small tiny body. Very easy going girl. I kept bouncing between bars and going back to Tropical every hour seeing if I could find her (does that sound desperate. Haha.

8. Thinking I would not find Mileidy at Tropical this trip I had bit of chemistry with HK girl and made a hasty decision to take her upstairs for $80. Should have bought her a drink first. (when will I learn). You need to be patient. Not only did I find Mileidy in Tropical but another girl in Adalitas I saw the week before who I wanted to pursue.

9. Spent more money in 24 hours than I had ever before. (got to watch that a bit as I could have taken a nice trip to somewhere else in Mexico or another place.

10. After 10 pm I stopped by Tropical one last time to see if I could find "that girl". And sure enough she was there. I explained to her that "Junior" was wore out from my earlier session with the HK gal who kind of sucked a bit (my own fault for choosing her hastily earlier in the evening). I explained that to Mileidy and she was so great I knew I would have a great time even if I didn't get my rocks off totally! And I was right. So much fun and sexuality isn't "just" about getting your rocks off. There is a ton of other stuff we did that was wonderful.

11. Met Sofia from Cancun in Adalitas and had a drink with her. Her body wasn't so great and she was NOT a great lap dancer buttttt. Her English was sooo good, and seemed quite smart, that I was just a joy to talk to her. I learned so much about the bars, cartel and other stuff in Cancun and how dangerous it can be to work in the bars. She said she isn't making enough money to make it worthwhile to stay in Tijuana. She may go back home.

12. It's a strange mind-fuck where I do care for these girls and actually don't want them "having" do to this stuff (epically for for over a year as I feel it can fuck them up mentally a bit) And on the other hand I love hooking up with them and letting the biology take it's course! . just a little observation.

If you have never seen the Youtube video interviews from "Soft White Underbelly" you may find them worth a peek. He does a great job of interviewing. (I do Not like who he seems to pick for his hooker interviews as he could have done a better job of of picking a few gorgeous girls and not just like street hookers etc.) but the content is great.

13. Took HK free shuttle to the border Monday morning to go back to reality. Shuttle driver gave me number for HK shuttle from San Diego if I know a few guys who want to go they would pick us up in SD. He said it would not be that expensive and call the number to inquire about the price. Maybe $10 or $20 each person. (the customer service of HK is just quite amazing on so many levels). I want to try this out sometime to see how it goes. (message me if interested in testing it out) Would have to take the trolley back home in San Diego which is a little bit of a pain but still a good option to save a few bucks.

14. Yes. Those breasts are Real in the attached pic. Girl should be working at HK. She is a frickin 11 imo.

Sorry so long. I could go on and on about the experiences.
