General Reports

[Nothing24]

Nice report. Looks like you went on a bit of a rampage LOL. Tropical coming in clutch. Always worth taking a look in there to find some hidden gems. Those girls appreciate good business because they don’t get a lot of foot traffic.

[Avgusa]

In all of my previous trips I traveled alone, this time I decided to bring a friend. Was it a bad move? Idk, I'll let you be the judge.

The the time of exchange, the peso was trading at 17.5 to 1, when we left it was 16.8 to 1.

Everything about travel went great, no flight delays, no problems with TSA, or border crossing. Flew into San Diego and crossed on foot. Took the limo to the club. We originally booked at Rizo, but they screwed up our reservations. We booked "The Suites Double", which is priced identical to Cascadas "Double Master Suite". On the cascada website, the photos show a hot tub in the room, however, on Rizo's website they don't, even though it's in the description of the room. I emailed prior to my trip to confirm that the room indeed had a hot tub, and was told it does and that the floorplans of the room are identical. They are not, when we arrived, no hot tub. So I go back down to reception, explain, show the email I sent & reply. They tell me they have nothing at Rizo but are willing to accommodate us at Cascadas, also said they were willing to accept my Tropical VIP card since we had already purchased. A slight inconvenience, but at least they were willing to make it right.

We get checked in, unpack, setup our room, and head off to Calimax & Farmacia for supplies. I give my buddy the lay of the land, and try to educate him about the process, being explicit with requests in negotiating specific acts, time & compensation. He still ended up getting grifted and making the telltale rookie mistake. 2 girls & the mesero took him for almost 1 K between fees for the girls, and bottle service, fichas, etc. He learned his lesson the hard way, but it kinda of put a damper on my night having to deal with that. I don't think that is the best way to earn a repeat customer, but it happens and I tried to coach him. Oh well. I won't dwell on it.

I noticed that the business like upsells were rampant in both HK & Tropical. It has become more of a hustle than ever, and I'm not a fan. Here is my rundown of the weekend.

1. Maricella / Tropical / 26 / $2000 MXN for 60 - Everything Covered. Bait & Switch, didn't perform acts as agreed upon and had some wicked odor. I should have checked the oil first, my mistake. Avoid. Honestly so bad I don't even remember what she looked like.

2. Becca / Tropical / 19 / $1800 MXN for 60 - Trato De Novia, BBBJ, DATY, COF. Absolutely amazing head, no gag at all, DT for at least 30 seconds without coming up for air. Multiple different positions and I finished on her face. Maybe 5-4, 120 lbs, cute face, braces, braided hair. Wearing a red fishnet bodystocking. Would recommend.

3. Espana / Tropical / 21 / $2000 MXN for 60 - Everything Covered. Fun, playful, but transactional. Wanted to finish quickly, went way too hard & fast and didn't want to take her time. We were done in under 30 and she just showered and left. 5-6, 110 lbs, skinny appearance, great rack. Would not recommend.

4. Lucy / Street Girl / 28 / $1500 MXN for 90 - Trato De Novia, BBBJ, DATY offered but I did not partake, COF. Decent service, good BBBJ, great in doggy, but didn't like being pounded in mish. Stayed the entire time without complaining or rushing, hung out in the hot tub after we finished and drank a few tequilas with me. Was dressed in a school girl outfit with white stockings. 5-4, 140 lbs, solid build, proportionate. Would repeat in a pinch.

5. Dulce / Street Girl / 24 / $800 MXN for 60 - Everything Covered. Decent service, liked to be pounded, but didn't want to do many positions outside of mish & doggy. Petite, 5-2, 100 lbs, was able to easily pick her up and toss her around. Dressed in a black mini dress and sneakers, kinda gave off a sporty vibe. Again, would repeat in a pinch.

6. Nirvana / HK / 29 / $3000 MXN for 90 - Trato De Novia, BBBJ, DATY, CIM. Met this girl at the Cascadas sports bar and hung out for about 2 hours, only bought her 1 drink and another guy at the bar picked up a couple more for her (thanks my dude). Texted a friend to meet up and he ended up bringing her and her 2 friends, and myself all back to his room. We played for 90 minutes and the girls we pretty GGG. Nirvana was the freakiest of the group. Down for anything. However, they ordered $3900 MXN worth of room service food which we werent a fan of. A couple pizzas or some apps. Fine. But these girls ordered a boat load of sushi, rib eye steaks, etc. We kicked them out and kept the steaks. I'm honestly starting to think that threesomes and more are not worth the trouble in the zona. Nirvana is tiny. Maybe 4-11,95 lbs, very flexible, was able to bend her into some pretty precarious positions. Finished in her mouth. Would not repeat or recommend, see below.

7. Luna / HK / 25 / $2000 MXN for 60 - Trato De Novia, BBBJ, DATY, CIM. Excellent service, no rush, no upsell, no bullshit. Sat and chatted with me at the table for about half hour, drank 1 beer. Thicker girl, 5-6, 130-140 lbs, great ass, squeezable & slappable. She loved being spanked, the harder the better, I'm pretty sure I left some bruising and marks. Great CG, RCG & 69. She was wearing a secretary uniform get-up. Black Stockings & White heels. Recommended.

8. Becca (Repeat) / $2000 MXN for 90 - I attempted to meet up with Nirvana again to see if the service got any better with a 1-on-1, she met me off the clock and came to my room followed by a mesero & a bucket, and they wanted me to buy a bucket of beers. I have never had to deal with that when a girl has been off the clock. I told them both to go screw and sent her packing. I then texted Becca and met up with her for a repeat. Even better than the first experience, 2 pops & came down her throat both times.

9. Teresa / Tropical / 19 / $2200 MXN for 90 - Trato de Novia, BBBJ, DATY, COF. Best experience of the weekend. Another to provide excellent service, did everything I asked of her and more with no rush. Even agreed to be on video. I took this girl to task for the entire 90 minutes. We wore each other out. Finished on her face. 5-3, maybe 120 lbs. Took her whatsapp and we've been talking since she left the room. I'm not putitng a whole lot of stock in it, but she says she would fly to NYC for a weekend meet-up. Who knows. Would repeat & recommend.

10. Dior / Tropical / 21 / $2000 MXN for 90 - Trato de novia, BBBJ, DATY, CIM. Teresa sent me a message that her friend wanted the same treatment, although she wouldn't let me film. I agreed, I didn't even have to go down to the club. Teresa sent her right to my room. Petite blond, 5-1, maybe 110 lbs. Liked being tossed around and manhandled. Liked to be choked. Great cowgirl, this girl KNOWS how to ride dick, however her BBBJ was a bit toothy. Still a great time and finished in her mouth. Would recommend.

Its been 3 days since my return and I'm still trying to catch up on sleep. This trip was a mixed bag though, def a decline in the level of service. Thinking of returning in November, however, I'll probably stay outside the zona and fill my weekend with agency girls. In my experience the service has been better, less rushed, and less headache of the upsells and fichas, etc.

Until next time.

Was in Tijuana a couple weekends ago (2/20-2/23) when El Mencho was killed. Some random notes:

Thanks for this report. Thumbs up!

That is some bad luck.

[BrotherMouzone]

Was in Tijuana a couple weekends ago (2/20-2/23) when El Mencho was killed. Some random notes:

-As usual, stayed at Cascadas (HK) during trip. The elevator by the front entrance was out of operation for my entire trip. Had to walk from the lobby on the 2nd floor up to the 3rd floor to take the back elevators up and down to and from my room on the 6th floor. Not sure why the elevator was out of operation or if it's even back up operating yet.

-HK had noticeably less chicas than usual that weekend, which was disappointing. A couple of my regulars didn't show up for work, noting that none of their friends were going so they weren't going to go either. Saturday night was semi-busy but Sunday maybe only had 25-30 chicas total, which seemed low. I noticed a lot more younger chicas in HK. Tropical meanwhile had some older chicas including a couple I'd seen going back many, many years at HK that I'd never seen working at Tropical before. There's one chica in particular that I would see at HK literally 90% of the time I am there going back over 10 years who was now working at Tropical. So am wondering if there'd been some recent overhaul in where certain chicas work.

-Construction in the club seems to still be ongoing. The VIP desk was moved from the front entrance (which is where it was when I was last there in early December) to the entrance to club Miami, on the left hand side. In the back of the main club on the 1st floor, most of the seating behind the back stage is curtained off.

-I noticed much more of a Mexican National Guard presence (and overall policia presence) than usual in Zona Norte on this trip. Maybe that was related to the El Mencho killing, I don't know. But the National Guard was around quite a bit the entire trip.

-El Mencho was killed on Sunday. One of my regular chicas who had been driving said some roads and highways were blocked off that day with some fires set by cartels throughout the city, though the fires weren't as prevalent as Puerto Vallarta and some other places in Mexico. Most shops stayed open on Sunday though some closed early. I think schools were closed on Monday. Most public transportation like buses weren't running, though some taxi de ruta routes were running on a (much) less frequent basis. I personally stood in line in Centro for about 30 minutes to catch a taxi de ruta going down Agua Caliente (same route would be less than a 5 minute wait under normal situations). During the wait regular taxi cabs and even private cars would occasionally pull up asking people who were waiting if they wanted rides for a small fee (one guy was charging $4 for a ride). Several people waiting jumped in the cabs and cars.

One of my regulars who initially was planning to come in to work at HK on Sunday texted me later that day saying she wasn't going to come in due to the situation in Tijuana that day.

-Hotel Korea has a new club attached to it called "Divinos Underground Club". Walked in one night to check it out and it was literally all dudes in there. So might be some gay club, not the chica brothel it used to be I don't know. Walked out after 10 seconds LOL. In looking at a video of the club here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3c9FbfAS4Q I recognize one of the bartenders as a very longtime bartender for Adelitas, good dude.

-There's a brand new Kentucky Fried Chicken on Revolucion that I hadn't noticed before. At least from the outside, looks nicer and bigger than any KFC that I've seen in the US, LOL.

-Returned to the US late Monday morning. Had no issues using Global Entry, even with the supposed "suspension" of the program (due to the partial shutdown) effective the previous day and the stuff going on with El Mencho. Got through the border line in less than 5 minutes. Even the regular border line I'd guesstimate was a 45 minute to 1 hour wait at the time, not too bad.

[Zenduka1]

If you have Global Entry, you can usually breeze through the border in about 20 minutes. Without it, the wait can easily be 1. 5 to 2 hours or more. Even with Global Entry, I typically plan to leave Tijuana at least 3 hours before a flight departing from San Diego, just to be safe and to account for the border crossing, the Blue Line trolley, and the bus to the airport. Without Global Entry, you should plan for 4-5 hours.

When planning a trip from the zona to the airport.

1. One has to see and aim for the boarding time, not flight time.

2. aim to arrive at SAN within 1 HR before boarding time (the airport is now enlarged and there is some walking).

3. the trip from San Ysidro to arrive to the airport (Blue line + 992) is 1 HR, add 30 minute to go to security and walk to the gate. Total 1:30 hrs (assuming one has TSApre).

4. from getting to HK shuttle to the boarder and pass through the checkpoint is 45 minutes with Sentri (GE) in a normal car and foot traffic. (safe assumption)

5. front desk usually takes 15 minutes to clear you out.

6. You will need 1. 30 minutes to get up, clean up, pack and walk to the the lobby.

In summary if your boarding time is at 12 PM, you will have to get up from bed around 7 AM and go through the steps. This is the safest bet.

[Captain Solo]

Is very unpredictable for both pedestrians and cars, even with Global Entry or Sentri. In normal times recently, some days / nights have no wait, but sometimes 2 to 3 hours wait. Recently policia has been checking people on the walking path back to PedEast. That could delay and add some risks. On foot, outside of commuter time 6 -9 AM, plan for 2 hours from HK to get across the border.

The trolley and bus rides from the border to San Diego Int takes about 1 hour. Assuming no waiting at the check in counter, add 45 minutes to check in, clear security and walk to the gate. Plan for 3 hours 45 minutes to get to SAN.

[June Fly]

Wondering the same I have a flight from SD.

How smooth is the bordercrossing.

What's the earliest daytime flight out of LAX that is reasonable to schedule if you are spending the night in Tijuana?

I don't mean to schedule a flight at 5 am and leave Tijuana at one in the morning, I am talking about an early afternoon flight. Would it be possible?

[Nothing24]

With all that said I've never stayed at Rizo so yeah, I think I'll probably given them a try at least for one night later this year. At $50, the VIP card is $20 cheaper than HK's card, though I suppose you don't get free admission on weekend nights to HK with the Tropical VIP as you would with HK VIP. But I'll maybe check Rizo out later this year, though I've never had any real issues with Cascadas.

Rizo will honor your HK VIP card. Your free drink can only be redeemed at HK though.

#4 - This is a very minor detail, but I don't have to cross the street to go to Oxxo. If I need a drink, or supplies, its a short sidewalk away.

Most fresh chicas in HK do not know about Rizo. When that happens you have to have a security explain it. Even then some girls would refuse to go there anyway because they don't want to cross the street. It happened to me a few times.

All things considered, we are kind of splitting hairs. Both have their weak and strong points.

[Avgusa]

For years I would always stay at cascadas. Being a regular there I always thought it was an advantage, knowing the good rooms and being on good terms with the front desk personal. But so many times something would be wrong the safe not open. Needing more towels it seems a lot of wasted time waiting to get problems fixed.

And then about a year ago I gave Rizzo a try. I like it much better. On the rare occasion something is wrong it gets fixed fast. Even the beds seem more comfortable. So I would say give Rizo a try.

I have stayed at both hotels and prefer Rizo.

#1 - The layout, with Rizo I have never had any issues getting to & from my room. At Cascadas there are limited ways up, and during busy times the elevators can be painfully slow. I'm not opposed to walking the stairs, but chicas in heels are.

#2 - Chicas in heels. Cascada has primarily tile floors and you can hear the click-clack of heels allll the time. Rizo is mostly carpeted, although there is some tile. But the noise pollution seems to be much less.

#3 - The mesero I befriended is at Tropical, he takes care of me, so its nice to come downstairs and go straight there.

#4 - This is a very minor detail, but I don't have to cross the street to go to Oxxo. If I need a drink, or supplies, its a short sidewalk away.

They are pretty much the same price, and ran by the same group, if you are a cascadas regular and haven't tried Rizo, I would give them a shot and find out for yourself.

I have not stayed in Cas since the pandemic. Rizo is much more personal and generally with less noise pollution. You are right, they are more responsive, although they have their times also that they never pick up the phone or your request drops into oblivion. Still my preference is Rizo for many reasons. What Cas going for it is the Master Suites, but getting there to your room can be frustrating.

[Zenduka1]

Yeah, I've gotten to know some of the front desk folks myself and never had any real issues at Cascadas so don't see a reason to stay anywhere else in the Zona.

There was a disgusting theft and cheating going on in both Cas and Rizo before. Since they took away the reservation from the front desk control and gave it to a one entity in the back office, things have gotten a lot better. Either way, watch your money you put on the desk, your payment amount and your change carefully when you are up in front of them, specially when you are with a girl.
