I'm also fine with it. It will also keep the lowlifes who have no documents at all from going to Tijuas to get their fix or the walkers who go to turn tricks to support their habit.

I'm fine with it. Hopefully it will catch a couple of fugitives using the border as a safe haven, only to later return to the US to commit more crimes.[/QUOTE]

First time ever to get robbed by the cracker jack cops. 8:30 am West side at the end going right. Was drinking my coffee and thrown against the wall. I am a veteran mongers so I know not to walk around in the morning with too much cash. I was looking for a morning BJ, but I was the one that got fucked out of 500 p. Very agressive with their shake down when zero policia are not around. Not much you can do when you have one of those metal beat down sticks across your throat. The pigs are more dangerous than the rateros.

As it matures, the system will probably lead to the monitoring of buses and cars, and be instituted at other border crossings. It will never be a perfect system, but just being there will deter many.
2016 Tijuana Visit.
It's been a couple of years since I first visited Tijuana and I had another chance this year with a stopover in San Diego as part of my travels. This time around, instead of just doing a quick afternoon visit like last time, I decided to spend a night in town at Hotel Cascadas over the Hong Kong club. I reserved ahead of time online.
Transit & Border Crossing.
I took the 992 bus from the airport to American Plaza downtown where I caught the Blue Line trolley to San Ysidro. I did not have exact US change so I paid the driver $7 for an all day pass that was good for both the bus and the trolley. After getting off the trolley, the new pedestrian entrance to the Mexican border was to the left hand side. In a new customs building, I went through the border checking process without any problems. Since I did have my luggage with me, they quickly took a look at the contents and put it through the X-rays. Then they filled out the new form for me and since I was staying for only one night, it was free.
Outside were the cabs and although I was advised to grab the white Libre taxis, the yellow ones were there and I asked a driver if 50 pesos would be accepted for the Cascadas / HK club. The lady driver I got replied okay so I got in. She dropped me off at the La Perla restaurant corner which is opposite corner of the HK / Cascadas site.
Hotel Check In.
When I went up the stairs to the front reception of Hotel Cascadas at about 11 am on the Wednesday, there was already an Asian guy with a HK girl there paying for a short time room. Interesting how things start early. Anyway, the counter guy gave me a room key for a single room on the sixth floor as I requested. He quoted $50 US or 750 pesos which I paid in pesos. Interesting thing is that I did not have to fill in any paperwork nor did he give me any TV control or safety deposit key or anything. I asked about a receipt for the 750 pesos I paid and he said there were cameras all over the place proving that I paid and it did not seem he wanted to do any extra work. He said that if I got an official receipt and all, my room would have to be checked upon my departure first. So I just took the key and went up.
The room was actually nicely decorated even though I did not get any TV remote or safety deposit key. I did not ask since I did not need these anyway. I did like the water dispensers on each floor and since there was one just outside my room, I had access to clean drinking water anytime. This was a nice touch. The room itself proved to be relatively quiet. Apart from the occasional noise of workers during the daytime, I did not hear any street or club noise all night and was able to sleep well overnight.
I went downstairs to check out the back patio area overlooking the back alley scene. One of the cleaning staff (or similar role) asked me for a $1 tip but I refused since he did not do anything for me. Was a bit annoyed at this but this happened only once at the hotel. The rest of the time I did not get any hassles at all.
Streetwalkers.
It was about noon by the time I got outside to walk around the entire block checking out the streetwalkers. There were some out there during this time of day. There were two I liked who were standing on the same side of the back entrance of HK / Cascadas and just to the east. Both of these girls told me that they would not go to the hotel Cascadas. Then I met one standing at the Hotel Eduardo directly across from the Cascadas backside and I think her name was Benevisa from Mexico City. She was willing to go to the Cascadas and quoted 500 pesos if I wanted 30 minutes instead of the usual 20 minutes the streetwalkers do. I countered with 300 pesos as my maximum offer and she accepted.
She did covered BJ followed by missionary. I did not ask about multiple positions since as a first session, I just wanted to bust my nut in missionary so the session worked out fine with me. Funny how she asked about whether I had a family, wife and kids. When I told her that I did not, she seemed quite surprised.
Around Tijuana.
After the first session, I decided to walk around town and from previous recommendations on the board here, I walked down Nino Heroes where they had a pedestrian only area and continued until Manuel Juarez. From there, I went over to Revolucion. I walked up and down both sides of Revolucion which is the main tourist drag and backtracked my way back to Cascadas using the same route. There were lots of people on the streets and I did not have any problems at all.
There were cops on about each corner but they did not hassle me. I walked around the alley block again to see the streetwalker scene once more and had no hassles. I did notice that there was a cop car with lights flashing all the time at the Chicago Club so I never bothered to venture over there.
After an afternoon nap, I walked over to La Perla for an early dinner. I did check out Sonora Grill too which was directly across the street from the Adelitas club but both of these restaurants had no AC and it was a hot day. Since La Perla was bigger and had more fans running, I decided to eat there and for $13 US, I had their Perla seafood dish which was great.
Clubs.
By early evening around 7:30 pm, there were more better looking streetwalkers but I wanted to check out a few of the clubs. I walked into Tropical and noticed that there were several local guys there. The women there were a but chunkier in general but many were actually quite pretty with nice hair and faces. But nobody appealed to me since I prefer the slim ones. So I walked back out and checked out Las Chevalas. The scene was quite similar to what I saw at Tropical. Yes, heavier girls but several actually quite pretty. The main difference was that there was a live band playing at Las Chevalas. Again, since nobody appealed to me, I walked right out again.
I was not going to visit Chicago Club nor Adelitas this time around since I was going to use only my room at the Cascadas for sessions. So my next stop was Hong Kong club. This was the only club where they routinely did a quick pat down by security before entering.
The HK club was relatively busy with guys even though I was told that on weekends, it would be wall to wall. I settled on a dark haired girl with nice boobs named Dany. She quoted $800 pesos but I stated $600 pesos as my absolute maximum I would pay, She accepted. After she got her HK robe, the robe attendant demanded a tip from me which I found very annoying. But I was eager to go on my session so I passed the asshole $1 US. Also, I did not give the club any business since I did not buy any drinks for myself nor any of the girls, I was okay with this stupid tip.
The session with Dany was great. She started doing this lapdance and more foreplay. Don't know if this is the main difference between the club girls and the streetwalkers since my overall experience is limited. After she got me hard with this foreplay, she asked me what my favourite position was. Looks like she was going to skip the BJ altogether but I did not mind since I'm not really a BJ guy unless it's just to get me hard and since I was already, I wanted to get right into the fucking. She put on a condom and went at it missionary since that's what I like (interesting that both her and the afternoon streetwalker I had asked me if I had any condoms in the first place).
We then relaxed and talked about border issues, crime in Tijuana, etc, since she lives in town and spoke more English than the streetwalker I had. She also asked about family, kids and wife.
Final Morning.
The next morning, I wanted one more session before returning to San Diego to catch my next flight. At around 10 am, I saw a few streetwalkers in the alley but not many. I got into HK at about 10:30 and there were several girls there and only a few customers. I asked two different girls including a blonde one with braces named Sara. Both quoted 1000 pesos and would not budge. So I left and went back to the alley to see if anyone else was out there. After about 30 minutes I returned to HK and both girls I talked to were still there. They should have accepted my offer of 600 pesos since business seemed really slow for everyone at that time.
None of the other girls at HK at that time appealed to me as I found them heavier than most of the nighttime shift. So back to the alley and the streetwalker whom I had before was there again. I waved her over as I decided I would just do a repeat with her for 300 pesos. She seemed very happy.
After that final session, I went to Nino Heroes where the pedestrian section was and went inside this market where there were several eateries. For 32 pesos, I had an awesome fried chicken lunch cooked in front of me. I also wanted a taco from one of the street vendors and the guy at the HK corner quoted me $1. 50 US or 80 pesos for one. I think I got ripped off but wanted to get rid of pesos so I paid him for one. It was good but again, I know I got ripped off and should have paid him $1. 50 instead.
After packing, I went to the reception counter to check out. I just handed the guy my room key and that was it. He did not ask about checking my room or anything and since he did not even get any of my name and address info at check in, I just wanted to easy quick exit in case they decide to charge me anything extra.
At the street, the guys hailed me a cab even the white libber taxi was already parked there. I really did not need their help but since they were waiting there for a tip, I just handed the first guy a 20 peso note and told him to split it with the others. A young kid then rushed to the cab window after I got in and also wanted a tip which I refused since he did nothing for me. The driver told him to shoo off as he accepted my 50 peso offer to go back to La Linea which is the border.
At the border, it was terrible. I started to line up at around 1 pm and did not cross the border until 3 pm. I paid for another day pass to take the trolley and bus back to the airport.
I want to thank everyone here for their advice when I asked questions preparing for my trip over the last few months. It would have been nice to try out more than two different girls but for a quick trip, I was quite satisfied. I tried awesome and cheap local cuisine in addition to the girls.
Revolucion itself was a waste of time as expected. But I did want to see it and now that I did, I won't be wasting my time going there again. In fact, I don't think I will be returning to Tijuana again unless I happen to be doing another stopover in San Diego. There are better mongering places compared to Tijuana but for guys who live near there, it is great. But for myself from Ontario, I hardly ever travel to southern California anymore.
So I hope that my report will be helpful to some of you here. Again, thanks for the advice I got. I'll hang out here for about another week to answer any questions but after that, I won't be on this Tijuana thread anymore since I don't plan on another trip. I'll probably start hanging out at threads I'm targeting for future trips like Medellin, Rio and Curacao.
Keep well everyone!

[/QUOTE]Thank you for the TR!
[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;1772975]You mean where the McDonalds was. The McDonalds in Tijuana near the border has been closed for maybe more than a year.
If you tell the Mexican authorities that you plan to visit MX for just a day or two, they will issue a 7-day visa document. They may or may not choose to stamp your passport booklet.
You can choose instead to pay $20 to obtain a 180-day tourist visa. If you buy the six month visa, whenever you return to Mexico you are allowed to stand in the free-flowing Mexican citizen line for near immediate re-entry into Mexico.[/QUOTE]Sure I'll pay $20 for 180 days best deal Thanks!
[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;1772975]You mean where the McDonalds was. The McDonalds in Tijuana near the border has been closed for maybe more than a year.
.[/QUOTE]LOL honestly I haven't check that side since they closed the old Tijuana entrance and I didn't know the McDonalds was gone. I just don't look around much I just grab a taxi and hit zone.
Thanks again.

Look on the bright side: 500 pesos isn't worth as much today.
It's very nice that you found it easy to use public transportation from San Diego International airport to Tijuana for your quick jaunt, 3 times with the chicas in a day.
600 P is only $40, a very good deal with a HK sweetie. Even local guys find it hard to get that rate.
You did a lot of research and preparation for your 1 day Tijuana visit. If you know of better locations for mongers, we would be anxious to know.

It was great to meet up again Km. Sorry to hear that story about Tijuana's finest assholes but thanks for posting. Just a reminder about who to try to aviod while in La zona. At least in the zona the criminals wear uniforms.
True but AFAIK this is the first time any one has alleged that the police went to such extreme use of force to separate them from their money.
[QUOTE=KevinMorison;1773244] Not much you can do when you have one of those metal beat down sticks across your throat.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the heads up. Sorry to hear you got robbed!
Tijuana Policia profiles their targets based on some criteria that I wish I know. I do know if you look at the cops, glance at them, say Hi, or change direction ect. You would raise their suspicion. I was in La Zona Friday night. A policia pick up truck carried 10 to 12 guys, all looked like tough guys wearing normal street clothes. Meanwhile hundreds other people were milling around unmolested.
Can you describe what you looked like, the clothes you were wearing and how you were walking?
Perhaps if the bros would trim their long hair, keep their beards neat, wearing clean, upscale clothes, walk with relaxed posture ect. They may be able to fly under the policia radar?

It is indeed unfortunate to be shake down particularly in broad daylight with force. I've seen arrests before and don't even recall them ever using force during their sweeps. Twice in the last several months a guy walking right next to me was stopped and frisked. Both times the guys were walking very fast, and passed me who was mosyimg along chatting with chicas.
I noticed that the cop trucks often contained Latino men so it seems that if you are Latino, you draw their attention. Also if you are in a hurry you draw attention whether you walk fast or weave in and out of people. And one guy put his hands on me to move me out of his walking path was immediately stopped and frisked, I presumed for pick pockettting suspicion. So don't touch other people when walking. Unless of course you're touching boobies, then it's ok.
I suspect that the OP looked like a particular suspect that the police was looking for, hence the use of force. And the 500 pesos was a target of opportunity.

I passed by many cops and was never hassled. I wore jeans and a Cozumel scuba diving t-shirt plus I'm Asian. I walked around basically looking like a tourist, ie. , looking at all the signs, businesses I passed by and of course the girls. I was an obvious tourist and perhaps at least at that time, the cops were not targeting tourists.
