General Reports

In mid-August I spent about 2 weeks working in San Diego and was able to make 6 or 7 trips to Zona Norte. This report is late, but some may find some useful information.

Street Tacos. I love street tacos, especially the 2nd taco cart north of the alley on Constitution. The posted price was $1. 25 and I had only US currancy. I asked the vendor if he had US change and he said he did. I bought 2 tacos and paid when I was served using a $5. 00 bill. The cart got busy for a few minutes while I ate so I didn't immediatly ask for change. When the vendor wasn't busy I asked for my change. The SOB said he already gave me my change. We argued briefly and then I gave up. I'm sure this happens all the time, but that has never happened to me. I've probably bought tacos at that stand more than 30 times, but I'm done with them; there are plenty of others.

La Carreta. One of the girls in front of that bar was sexy and she coaxed me into the bar and to buy her a bucket (2 small for her, 2 large for me). As soon as I paid ($18?) She gulped down the first beer and then she said she had to dance. After her dance she gulped down the second beer, said thank you, and left. I would guess she spent less than 5 minutes at the table with me. I finished my first beer, had the waiter open the 2nd, and then I left. What a waste, I won't be back in there for a long time.

"Street Girl" Amy at La Gloria. It doesn't happen often, but I was in the mood for a street girl. The one that caught my eye was standing just outside of the North entrance to La Gloria. Her English wasn't bad and we seemed to get along well during about 2 minutes of chatting on the street. She asked if I wanted to go upstairs and I agreed. On the way up, I said "$20 sin ropa?" and she said "No, $100". Holy shit, that's a lot of money for a street girl! I said no thanks and turned around. Later I saw her working inside La Gloria, so I guess she wasn't a street girl at all. Still, $100 seemed far too expensive. But for some reason, she looked sexy to me.

Hong Kong Disappointment. Long time favorite had been Erika (supposedly her real name is Paloma). She is older, perhaps 28, and speaks OK English. In past trips I've enjoyed talking to her and taking her to the room. This trip I could see that she is a seasoned and hardened pro. No more chit chat except "You and me arriba, let's go. " Over the last couple of years I've taken her upstairs 4 or 5 times, each time was nice. Now she has become totally mechanical and is no longer worth the money. Maybe others will do better with her.

Hong Kong Favorites. There were several starting with Zuoyma, who generally hangs near the ramp in the middle of the bar. Thin girl with large natural tits. Lots of play in the bar, even better arriba. Highly recommended to all. Next was Sonia, who was very nice and a good performer. Another was Sorey, a small spinner with long straight hair and a very pretty face. Sorey said she would be in HK until the end of August and then spend 2 weeks in Mexico City before returning. She should be back to HK about now and she is well worth your time.

Hong Kong's Mad Venezuelan Squirter. Much has been written about her, if you haven't seen it take a look at my mid-May post and Tomjackin's subsequent wet mattress picture. I was chatting with a group of men when Ms Venezuela approched one in our group. He refused her advances, but later he bought her a drink after I told of her wild history. About 10 minutes later they wet upstairs and didn't return for more than an hour. His verbal report was just like my written report from mid-May and he showed a cell picture that was almost identical to the one Tomjackin posted in May. This girl seems to be consistent: aggressive, wild in bed, and a major squirter. I don't think I'll ever repeat with her, but every monger should experience her at least one time.

Tropical - My first visit was great with many hotties available. Picked a young, pretty girl named Dolce. Very nice time in the hotel. During subsequent visits they mostly had older, heavier girls that didn't appeal to me.

Adelita versus Hong Kong. I historically have preferred Hong Kong because the girls look hotter to me. The Adelita girls seem older but as a whole they seem to be better performers in the hotel room. Hong Kong girls typically ask $60 to $80 and sometimes up to $120 (at least before about 10 pm) but can be talked down by $10 to $20. The Adelita girls typically ask $60 and can be talked down by $10 to $15. The two hotels are similar, except the Adelita hotel only gives a single towel while the Hong Kong hotel gives 2 towels. Because of the better average performance at Adelita, I think I'll spend more time there in the future.

Favorite Food - Without a doubt, I prefer Viejo Lobo. Directly north across the street from LC. It's just a hole in the wall with 2 guys cooking and 3 stools for customers. I usually order steak, baked potato, veggies, and salad. No sign on the building, it's very easy to miss even if you are looking right at it from across the street. Can't stay away from that place.

I'll be returning to Tijuana in a couple of weeks, hope to see some of you there.

I crossed the border for a dental appointment in an upscale neighborhood. The reason is that I will save roughly $4,500 in out of pocket expense. One thing about American insurance, they mostly cover the non-essentials such as cleaning, but leave it up to you to pay for half of the important procedures.

At about 2 pm I arrive at Hong Kong. It was not yet crowed. Entertainment includes the infamous whip cream show, which is getting raunchier than before, approaching the level of disgusting which is why I only stuck my hand up their pussies twice. I too have my standard. Thank goodness the dancing is first class and would rival any American dancing establishments. Stayed there for about 3 hours until my stash of $20 groping money ran out.

I took a couple of walks around the block visiting fine establishments such as the Valentina Bar in the back alley, and La Glorita just around the corner from Adelitas. I would have given them a chance had they air conditioning. Because they did not and it was in the 90's, I did not. Adelitas was ok. Had a lot of MILFs. Not my cup of tea. That was fine since it was chow time.

Generally when I visit a foreign country, I eat what the natives eat. For some stupid reason, I went to the Chinese restaurant right down the street from Hong Kong. I ordered a noodle soup considering that it is almost impossible to screw it up. Wrong, they brought a bow of "Top Ramen" soup with added pork and vegetables. I've eaten enough of Top Ramen in college to smell it 100 yards away. From now on, I will stick with Mexican food while in Mexico. It was not worth the 70 pesos.

I finally got to Tropical at 7:30 pm. The place was getting lively. Enough gals were coming in for the average picky Joe to take a pick. I ran into a girl that I was with last week, and again we hit it off. Even though we went Arriba last week, she would not let my hands wander which was making me even hornier. Bought her a couple of drinks, we talk for the longest time which was interesting since neither of us spoke the other's language. At 10 ish, we decided to go up for an hour. I was in so much bliss, I didn't even discuss price. Since the hotel above the Tropical watch the clock religiously, I decided to take her to hotel on top of the Hong Kong Club as recommended by distinguished members. But before hand, we stopped at the HK itself where I purchased the VIP card for $50, valid for 4 months. What was interesting was that my girl could not even step in the doors of HK without some sort of HK I'd card even if both bars are owned by the same owner. Very rude policies. I came very close at having it out with the doorman.

What I was interested in was the 20% discount and extra time provided to VIP card members. Got in the room at 10:10 pm. Finished at 11:45. So it appears that you get time and a half or so. You also get the 3rd floor rooms where the rooms were less frequent. I suggest you memorize the room number if you like a room so that you can request the same one on your next visit. After I walked my girl back to Tropical, I went back to HK for my free VIP drink. Probably was not worth it since it was a sausage fest where the ratio of guys to girls seems 2:1 and it was impossible to walk or breath. At midnight, this Cinderella decided to go home.

Paid 50 pesos for the cab ride to the border. Just like the prior weeks, there was no wait for general Passport holders like mine. I gave my girl 1000 pesos + roses + 4 drinks + special request music + cigarettes. Yeah it was a lot. But fuck it. The memories of our time together is priceless. She was worth more than I paid. She'll be what I think about the day I die, not what I spent. Yeah guys, I am a hopeless romantic. Hell I would have bought the stupid zebra donkey parked in front of HK for her had she wanted it.

Summary -.

Hong Kong after 5 pm on a Saturday sucks.

The Chinese restaurant on the corner sucks.

Dentistry in Tijuana is about 1/2 the cost of American dentistry. I.

The VIP card is a deal just based on the extra time.

People here like being paid in Pesos.

Not familiar with Tijuana dentist, but would like to know for future reference.

Thanks

This is a great place to unwind a little. They have a/c which is a major plus. I always go here first while in the zona since I usually arrive early and have to wait around till noon or 1:00 pm to check into my hotel. I'm surprised a veteran like you hadn't been here before

[QUOTE=SBeach25;1620894]I frequent Tijuana and walk around the zone a lot and never walked in there until last night to place a bet on the fight. It was very cool and they have liquor and beer. Can't remember who recommended this place but it was a good idea. Very relaxing. I caught up with the sports and had a beer before heading back to see the SG and the bars. Thanks.[/QUOTE].

I've been eating street tacos in various parts of Mexico since the '80's. I've never been asked to pay on delivery. As with the girls, you never pay until you're finished. And these guys are sharp. They know exactly how many you eat. If their policy is to ask for payment on delivery, definitely nobody should patronize them.

$18 sounds about right - 2 x $7 (two ficha beers) and one 2 x1 beer (about $3. 50). I don't think I've ever spent any time inside La Carreta. After your post, I think I won't.

.[/QUOTE]When I do over nights my usual route is to stay off zone. I like to see what the city has to offer and this weekend I did the same. If I do a turnaround, I'm too busy thinking of the chicas and getting between those legs and just do my routine. Since this was fight night and I wanted to put a bet down, I wanted something in the zone and I remember seeing this place and never considered it until now. Yeah, you learn something new everytime. I've been so in the habit of doing the same routine it just never occurred to me. Once I get a routine, I normally don't deviate but this weekend was an eye opener. It kind of revitalized my enthusiasm since I came back from Medellin. Lots of diamonds in the rough almost like treasure hunting and finding good prospects as well.

I'll also stay away from La Carreta. That cutie had me thinking with the little head, which I can usually avoid.

Shit you and your friend taught me so much I think caliente across from LC is the only thing I could of showed you. But I thought you already knew about it. I guess you would have to be a gambling addict like myself to really find out about this place. I always go there to check on my bets and relax since they have AC. The other place I go to recoup is cascadas balcony. I can buy a beer and get some food and eat upstairs in the balcony while watching all the action in the zona. I usually go to these places when I stay away from the zona. This way I don't gave to leave the zona and re energize myself for some more action. If you're in TJ for next months tequila festival PM me your number. I had to reboot my phone a week ago and lost all contacts. I actually have a new spot maybe you haven't really been too. You might be into it

[quote=phordphan;1620847]seriously, dude, give the mugging thing a rest. op's post is very valuable as an object lesson to noobs not to get involved with street touts. but don't make more of it than there is.

op was in very little danger of getting rolled. all of the hotels in the zona are well known. op would certainly not be dumb enough to leave the zona and walk, blindly, into some strange place with an unknown guy just to get a girl.

the zona is full of deportees, as is tijuana in general. most are waiting tables, acting as door touts, working in the bathrooms. most are relatively harmless and just trying to scrape by. in general, the worst thing that can happen is you get "taken" for a few dollars. $20 was a very reasonable price to pay for the knowledge obtained. to put a positive spin on it, op may have been fleeced out of $20, but, in the end, he gets to go home. jose may be $20 richer, but he still has to live in the shithole of the zona.

these guys rarely have anything you need. ignore them, don't get involved, and you'll be fine.[/quote]i'm sorry if i caused a misunderstanding and an argument. when i said i was just glad i wasn't mugged or worse, what i meant was i was glad i lost money there with him, rather than walked a little too far and bam. yeah he brought the girl to my hotel and she walked on up ahead of me and i stayed a few seconds talking to the tout. downstairs it was just me jose and the cheering taxistas. don't worry about getting hurt, just pay attention and you'll be fine.

as far as tacos go, try the cart that is on the corner next to rizo de oro. the bistek ranchero is the best i have had in a long time.

Rosco2 has been on a mugging kick for a long time. Go back an read some of his posts and you'll see what I mean.

Personally, I enjoyed your contribution. I much prefer "warts and all" postings, as they represent "real life" when dealing with the denizens of La Zona.

I think there have been past posts about this subject, but I can't find them now and don't remember the outcome. Do any of you ask to see a girls health card?

There have been a couple of times where the girl would show me some sort of license and something else. I really din't know what I was looking at. Somewhere I read that the older health cards were small books with stamps and initials that showed dates when various health exams were passed. I've also read somewhere that the new cards are only electronically readable.

[/QUOTE]I don't think they were looking for an HK I'd just any kind of I'd, and it seems to have nothing to do with age. While most bars don't seem to care, it seems that LC and HK are very strict on not letting a lady without an I'd enter the bar. I tried to bring a 40 something lady into LC on Thursday and it was no I'd no entry. It has to do with some law where a lady in the bar with no I'd and the bar can end up paying a big fine if there is a raid or the Policia were to check.

Great report Jackie888 thanks for contributing.

Fresh23,

Thanks for the great, level-headed info. It's much appreciated. Hey I just saw on NBC Nightly News that the best time and day of the week to buy airline tickets is on [B][U]Tuesdays at 3 PM[/U][/B], which is when airlines have cut prices and their competitors have matched them on as many as 20,000 flights a day. The cheapest days to travel are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday since there are fewer business travelers then.

Avoid buying a ticket within 7 days of departure when business travelers will pay top dollar. Buying 7 weeks before departure might save you big, big bucks. Even buying 2 or 3 weeks in advance will save you some bucks. Sunday is the most expensive day to fly since seats are often full with vacationers flying home. NBC even gave some price examples of a coast-to-coast round-trip flight between 2 specific cities:

The cost was $1149 if tickets were bought within 7 days;

$877 if bought two weeks before;

$742 if bought 3 weeks before;

And $465 if bought seven weeks before (a $700 savings).

Hope this saves you fellas some big bucks when flying to San Diego for Tijuana titillation. The source is impeccable. September 15th edition of NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.

Even though southwest isn't the greatest airline you can cancel a reservation the day of travel in case something comes up. When prices are between $49-$69 I usually buy multiple weekend trip tickets 2 months out for several trips and cancel if I have something come up or I just don't feel like going. I can use the funds I canceled before to schedule a new trip within a years time from the cancelation date. I love southwest except when they delay my plane ride home and I leave Tijuana early. I I think if the extra sessions I missed out on while being delayed at the airport
