CORRECTION TO be of A ATM USE
[QUOTE=TJSteve;2088486]It's a shame that Bank of America sold Santander. We used that for cash for 10 years. They now have a deal with Bannorte. Check the BofA website for locations all over the world. They charge a fee but you get the open market rate so it's as good as a cambio. There is an ATM in our Soriana and we get 6,000 pesos every Friday. I'm not sure if they are in every Soriana (it used to be a Commercial Mexicana) but there is also a bank branch downtown, one on Blvd Agua Caliente and one in Rosarito.
If it is daytime you can always go inside to any bank and get cash without being robbed (until you leave, he, he).[/QUOTE]My post above was wrong. Be of A owns part of Scotia Bank (also a red), not Bannorte. There are 2 in Tijuana and 1 in Rosarito. That's where my wife gets our household money every week. No problems but the do have the 2% fee. What do I know, I use cash for the putas.
Museo Restaurant & Bar. Happy Hour
Was there earlier in the week and noticed they now have a couple of happy hours with a list of mixed drinks for $2 as well as discounts on beer.
Hours are 11 am to 1 pm then again I believe from 5 pm to 7 pm. Bottled beer is normally 30 pesos.
It is across from the Nelson Hotel at near the Arch.
We were sitting outside and low and behold a totally nude street gal approached our table asking for something. We shooed her away and about that time 2 bicycle cops spotted her and it was a comical Keystone Cops drama that would have made good video for Youtube. They didn't want to touch her as she was very dark maybe dirty but I didn't detect an odor. Had seen her around with clothes before but NEVER NUDE on Revolucion. LOL.
So 1 cop tried to direct her to go down Primera or 1st toward la zona, the other held on to the bikes and they discussed what to do. She did finally get the hint and went West toward Constitucion with the cops tailing her. Before that the 1st cop tried to get her to just go North down the hill on Revo but she wasn't having it. Felt sorry for her as she obviously wasn't all there but didn't appear to be drugged up.
You just never know what you will see in Tijuana even at that family rated corner.
Bootlegged Moonshine Museo Restaurant & Bar.
Did you read reports about tourists in all-inclusive resorts in Cancun and PDC who passed out and died after a couple mixed drinks? I am afraid of bootlegged hard liquors spiked with chemicals.
OTOH one of my wingmen always drink Pina coladas mixed with Patrone tequila in HK. It's a good drink; he's still alive and kicking.

Need to see if any others have been affected by this.

Like passed out for about 5 minutes after taking a shot. No BS. Never had that experience in my life. Not trying to spread any rumors or BS but has anyone else had this experience. I do remember it tasted differently. I had a shot of Don Julio blanco and it was not as smooth as I remembered. This is just a week and a half ago. Again, not trying to spread BS but after reading the past post, I do remember it was a bad and embarrassing experience.
