Yes, they do have a single bus lane for border crossing and Mexicoach is one of them that provides this service. The crossing time varies depending on the number of buses, it can be anywhere from 15 minutes to an hours plus in the worst case. Mexicoach has a $8 fare in 2010 for border crossing.
[QUOTE=Dreams;1110298]Once, I took the socalled "Mexicoach", or something like this. Does this bypass the line? If so, it's quite useful, I think it cost hardly 5 US$.[/QUOTE]
Spent some time checking out the shaving cream show at HK (can't beat fingering / grabbing those tits for a $ tip) and wanted to check out the SG scene in the alley too. The talent level in the alley was decent. Much better than I would have expected knowing that a lot of girls return to their hometowns for holidays.
Araceli (the thin, heavy make-up SG) shushed me to get my attention in front of HK / Cascadas as I took my walk to access the talent-level in the alley. She shushed me again as I passed by her and we made some small-talk. She offered the standard 200 pesos fare with additional 100 pesos for sin-ropa (without clothes) and oral. I decided to take the plunge just to get her off my list. She uses the Cascadas hotel (same as one used by HK girls) but they only charge you $5 when bringing in SG vs $15 when you bring a BG (the logic still defies me till date).
Once inside the room, she stripped to reveal a not-huge but decent pair of titties and gave an average CBJ followed by mish / DG to completion. The session was very average and by no means did I feel any level of intimacy but it was cheap nut none the less. Paid her the agreed 300 pesos, washed Jr with soap in shower and I was back in HK to enjoy the shaving-cream girls washing themselves / playing in the tub this time!

[/QUOTE]SG session = 15 minutes (standard)
BG session = 30 minutes (standard)
They figure guys pulling chicas out of HK are rich and those pulling them off the street are on a budget most likely. A lot of us try to avoid using the Cascadas and if we want a chica from HK or LC will set a date before or after her shift if not her day off.
Bill finally got his sentri card approval, expected to use it immediately, but told they no longer issue right away, but you must wait a week and then validate it on line via the code that comes with the card. Fuck!
Bill took a white public bus with blue stripes to his interview from the corner of Const. And the 2nd road kitty corner to the Calimax grocerey store. Cost is 8.5p. There are 2 buses that you can take to otay linea, took them both and one will drop you off 1 mile south and the other about 500 ft away. Ride time is about 30 minutes, the bus had few passengers and you get a street view from zona Rio through some barrios, the international airport and then otay.
Anyone going to walk to Costco just take Revolution south to the 5th. 6th or7th street and take a left (east) and you will run right into it.
If your room is too cold, I bought one of the single burner hot plates for sale by many of the vendors across dolce and gabbana club. Works nicely, is small, quiet but not sure if permitted, so stashed it so the maid won't see. $140p.
SG's are not as plentiful as a couple of months ago, but having no problem with choice.
Getting good luck and GFE from girls that have lived in Cali.
I have not seen since quite a while any mention of the 2 legit massages places, I think one is Aztec, and the otherViva Mex. Any recent info? Still there / Still fully legit?

What are the top 2 massage parlors in Tijuana? I want to check out a couple before I leave. All I can say so far is they really cleaned this place up from 5/7 years ago. These girls are very hot in hk. Chicago club is now deserted. Looked like a bomb hit it. The girls at ab now where bikinis so you can actually see their bodies. I guess they had to compete with HK. The only negative I see so far are there are too many waiters in hk. Its non stop asking you for a drink.
[QUOTE=G C Patton; 1110387]Have some more information from my last 2 trips down. First one I wanted to stay somewhere in the Zona, till early morning. Did a lot of web research and Hotel Cascadas stuck out as a good option. It is the hotel right above Hong Kong, and they advertise themselves as a growing and renovated hotel. THIS IS A LIE. They are not a hotel, they are still just a one pop stop. Even though their web page shows credit cards, implying they accept them, they are cash only. Don't even think they have computers there. Also I stayed in their best advertised room, which looks like the pictures. It is poorly lit though (dark in the shower) , and the bed sheets are scary. Most of the Hotel is still under construction. Maybe with 2-3 more years of work, they could become a hotel. However:
1. If you want a key to your room. $10 deposit (really)
2. If you want the key to use the safe. $10 deposit
3. If you want the remote to operate the TV. $10 deposit
The only really good thing I can say is that they gave me a room, on the 4th floor, far away from any of the regulars. Also they actually gave me back my deposit, in US dollars.
Next trip I used my regular escort service, which they advertise boarder pickup and drop off. They had me walk to the street across from McDonalds, and wait there for pickup. I was early, they were late, but not by much. Pickup was in old 2dr Plymouth, with Tania driving and me and my girl in the back. Kind of surprised by the car, usually can judge person life style by the car; so wonder what her private love cabin is like. We headed to La Premier Motel, for scheduled 3 hr session. This is a very nice hotel, and if you drive a car across it is a great place to stay (very private). Basically you drive up to the entrance, and tell the person what room type you want and for how long. It cost $18 for 4hrs, for the basic room. So you pay and then they give you a garage number. There are no keys, all the garages are closed except the number that they give you. If you have a car you park inside, then close the garage. The room is above, suite style, with walk in shower, extra thick curtains, clean sheets, and decent TV reception. Also room service is very good, with a T-angle small service door. So you can get food and exchange money, while being completely nude. Prices are pretty decent also, drinks and dinner for 2 was about $12. Only things that were bad about the place was the shower control was a bit difficult to get working properly. Also I got 0 reception on my Android, so could not use Goggle Translate (awesome app) , but still managed a good time. Also, because there are no keys, I don't think you can leave and come back, though they do let in taxi's for girl pickups. But if you had a car there, could wait outside for escort, drive in, do four hours, drive out, get new escort, and then get a completely new room.
I prefer the escort experience to the Hong Kong type scene, because it is more time based. Nice to start in the shower, soap, rinse, head. Also I did not have a very good time in Hong Kong, not really a single person scene, to me. I know many people here can single HK, AB, CC and all that but I'm am still new to Zona, and do not speak a lot of Spanish. I hated the fact that you cannot go to the bar and order a drink, bartenders either just ignore you or say they are closed. As soon as you sit down, freaking waiters swarm, and then you get a girl delivered. Also really really hated the fact that you have to give the waiter the $20 for the private dance. I was like "Are you going to dance?", and the girl did not seem upset at all.
Next week I have my Sentri interview, so if I pass can I finally do overnights and not be late for work. Does anyone know of decent hotels in the Zona? Anyone been in the one across from tropical? That one seems like a decent one, if you go by goggle street view. [/QUOTE]Well, the hotel across the street from Bar La Tropa is called Hacienda de Santiago. It is a decent place although it feels more run down now than it was a few years ago. Rooms are decent, and there is safe (free) parking there if you get a room. They are totally chica friendly so it's no problem if you want to bring a girl back. Cost is $40. $45 per night when I last stayed there.
Up on Revolucion, right by the arch, is the Hotel Nelson. It's older and kind of worn on the inside but it's clean, safe and comfortable for the most part. The issue at the Nelson is noise from the street. At night, mariachi bands stand by the arch and play music, and you can also hear music from nearby clubs. Cost is $40. $45 per night, well down from a few years ago when it got as high as $55 on weekends. The Nelson is also chica friendly, but just keep in mind that there are non-mongers who stay there, so you and your girl could share a crowded elevator ride up to your floor with a family of 5!
Hotel Tiucan (not sure if I got the spelling correct) is further south on Revolucion. I've never stayed there, but I understand it probably the best of all three. Cost seems to be $50 per night and it sounds like it has the best amenities and is the quietest. It's also the furthest from the zone so you're in for a walk or a short cab ride at the end of the night.
I'm heading to Tijuana tomorrow night and I might stay at the Tiucan. If I do, I'll report back on all the details.

legitimate. these are places where you can go to get an actual massage from a trained therapist. these girls know what they are doing and you will emerge an hour later feeling quite refreshed. however, no sexual services of any kind are offered there. the cost is generally $25 for one hour and includes a hot shower at the end. you can tip the girl if you enjoyed the session and i usually tip $5-$10. best one, in my opinion, is aztec, which is located on the southwest corner of revolucion and either 2nd or 3rd street. it's on the second floor so look up, and enter on 2nd or 3rd street, not from revolucion.
mps that offer sex. unlike their cousins here in the us, often staffed with asian ladies, these mps are not coy about the services they offer. the general routine, following your arrival, is to line up all the ladies and have them introduce themselves to you. you can then pick one and head to the room. here is where it gets interesting: your entrance price of $40 covers only the room and a very cursory massage. don't expect it to be like the us where you actually get a massage followed by something else. you get 3-5 minutes of massage followed by negotiations of what comes next. generally, the prices are higher than what you would pay for a bar girl for the equivalent act and duration. i guess once they know that you've paid to get in then you are a more captive audience and, seeking to get a return on your initial investment, will be more willing to pay a bit more. whatever the reason, it can be up to $80 or so for sex. for this reason, a lot of us mongers avoid these places: you can get a better massage in the us for about the same price. or, you can go to adeliata's and get full service for $60 + room fee.
if you really want to try the full service mp then a good one to try is mermaids, which is across the street and slightly west of ab, just before you get to tropical bar. they have many girls, the rooms are nice and there is a bar downstairs where you can have a drink. there are many other mps, and there used to be a spa in back of bar la tropa. not sure if it is still there, but the sign is so it's worth a look. any taxi driver in tijuana knows at least 3 mps and is no doubt compensated for bringing you in. beware of this, and of guys on the street who want to show you a mp. it's buyer beware!
overall, i agree with most members of the forum: mps in tijuana are simply not worth the prices they charge. this may be different than further south in mexico or other latin countries, but it's the experience of most people on the board who have shared and it has been mine as well. i generally give these places a pass but i always try to get to a legit place when i'm south of the border.
couple of tips: if you want a massage + extras from a sexy latina then mps are not your only option. most bar girls, especially when it's less crowded during the afternoons, will happily provide you with a massage + fs. you just need to ask and then negotiate. i usually negotiate a massage with my services and make sure it's either included in the price or will come with a modest tip on top of the $60 for the girl. the real hotties at ab may not go for this, but most ab girls will, especially when it is less crowded. regardless of whether you want a massage or something else, remember to negotiate, negotiate, negotiate! maybe offer to buy her one ficha drink if she'll throw in a massage or something like that. if one girl declines, don't be afraid to take a pass on her and try it on another girl. you are the one with the money which means that you have most of the power before the transaction transpires. believe me, if the girls sense that you are about to walk away, most will quickly lower the price or try to accomodate you another way. there aren't that many gringos in tijuana anymore, compared with the old days, so use this fact to your advantage!
[QUOTE=Blue Nose;1111852]MPs that offer sex. your entrance price of $40 covers only the room and a very cursory massage.[/QUOTE]Blue Nose's review is pretty comprehensive but here's a tip for the full service MPs: you can negotiate a "package" deal before you go up to the room at many of the places. This covers the whole experience, I. E. The "massage"/room + sex. Packages can be had for as low at $80 but even at $100 it will be cheaper than doing the negotiations in the room after you've paid the house fee.
I've played in Nuevo Loredo, Nogales, Los Alogones, and Mexicali. I'm considering working my way to Tijuana. I started to read this 307 page forum and my eyes are about to pop out of my head.
Would anyone like to give me a quick summary or just answer a few questions?
1. Which road takes me into the heart of the fun? I assume it's Interstate 5.
2."Zona Norte" seems to be the fun zone. Is it walking distance from the Port of Entry?
3. Is there an overnight parking lot close to the POE on the US side?
4. If I fly in, which airport should I fly to?
5. As a first timer to Tijuana, where should I go 1st. 2nd, and 3rd? It will probably be a 2 evening trip.
6. Which is the best days to go? I'm sure the weekends will fetch the best selection but prices are higher, right?
7. Going rate at the clubs, parlors, and street?
8. As of today, anyone crazy cartel action? Will I come out alive?
Thanks in advance!

1. Which road takes me into the heart of the fun? I assume it's Interstate 5. [/QUOTE]Yes. Go south until you see a sign something like "last parking before border."
[QUOTE=2nd Chance; 1112638]2."Zona Norte" seems to be the fun zone. Is it walking distance from the Port of Entry?[/QUOTE]Yes. It is less than a mile but a little confusing if you don't know the way. If you make a wrong turn you could end up in some shady neighborhoods. The safest way is to take a cab directly from the border to your bar and back. You can walk around between CC and AB with no problem.
[QUOTE=2nd Chance;1112638]3. Is there an overnight parking lot close to the POE on the US side?[/QUOTE]Yes. See #1.

[QUOTE=2nd Chance;1112638]6. Which is the best days to go?

I have not noticed higher prices at those times.
[QUOTE=2nd Chance;1112638]7. Going rate at the clubs, parlors, and street?[/QUOTE]It has been 5 years but I was able to go $50 from 2001-2005. They will ask for more of course but if you are not afraid to walk away they will come down significantly.
[QUOTE=2nd Chance;1112638]8. As of today, anyone crazy cartel action? Will I come out alive?[/QUOTE]I have no first hand knowledge since things have flared up. Taking cabs may help.

7. Going rate at the clubs, parlors, and street? [/QUOTE]I think Edward was still living in that 2001-2005 era. Right now in my opinion the best place is Hong Kong, and Adelita Bar is 2nd. At HK the girls are younger and you can do some serious teasing and have fun with it. At AB, the girls are more mature and have more plastic. YMMV, but it is somewhat of a F*ck Factory. Going rate is standard 60bucks, regardless of when you go. During slow times you can negotiate lower rates. At HK the young hotties may quote you 80. Just talk them down to the standard 60.
Depending on where you are coing from to take either the I5 or I805 and take the exits that in yellow says "Last Exit USA" Plenty of overnight parking there. Follow the crowd. When you get to the tunstiles you will be in Mexico. Keep walking past the armed gaurds and past the second turn still there will be a squard of taxi drivers wearing black slacks and yellow dress shirts. They will ask if you need a taxi. Say yes. Follow the guy to his car and hop in the FRONT seat. When you hop in the car say on of the following: "Adelita","Hong Kong","or "Chicago". They are all within a block from each other and this area, though bustling is probably the safest area in Tijuana (don't worry about cartels). When the cab gets to your destination, hand the guy the standard 5 bucks. Make sure you have the right change, otherwise he might prentend not to have any change in hopes of you saying,"keep it".
Enjoy!
