If you have never been to TJ like this, you are really missing out.
Why pay $160+ for a "massage" or $250+ for an escort when both are
illegal in the US and you can get caught. You could travel to Nevada
where people report paying $300-$1000 an HOUR for some legal whores.
You can also travel to TJ (specifically La Zona Roja). The people are
poor but friendly. You can get into trouble there but this is almost
ALWAYS preventable. There are horror stories of course. I am a
paranoid person and the last thing I want is to get into trouble. I
have gone through great lengths to find out how to avoid this. As a
public service I have outlined an FAQ, that will help you have a great
time while staying out of trouble.
Prostitution is "not illegal" here. There is nothing making it
illegal but there is nothing making it legal. The Mexican government
recognizes a prostitues union in TJ, licenses the girls and provides
testing for them every 2 weeks. Most girls in the bars are licensed,
the girls on the street are not always. The girls in TJ vary widely.
They can be fat or skinny with lean firmly toned bods. They can be
older or young and eager (I have seen some great 19 year olds). For
looks, again they can range from 4's up to 10's. There are some real
hotties there. Most of the girls are more than decent, you will be
able to find one that you will go nuts over. Some of the girls look
right out of Playboy. If I can help one person get laid, I have done
my job. Here is my FAQ:
I have been to Mexico/TJ many times for 25 years. Only in the past
year have I ventured into the Zona Roja, specifically the Adelita Bar.
I have been twice and went only AFTER doing A LOT of reasearch and
talking at length with someone that has gone there for 20 years. I
thought I would share my 2 recent trips here as well as some good
advice for all on staying safe.
PARKING
Take the "Last USA Exit" off of the freeway. At the end of the
offramp, make a left (you cross over the freeway) and then make a
right at the stoplight. You will see a Jack in the Box on the left
side of the street. I always park in a parking lot across the street
from Jack in the Box, this is a good well lit lot with security. When
you return from TJ, the northbound freeway entrace is just outside
this lot. Be careful where you park. I highly recommend NOT driving
into Mexico. The laws are very different as are the roads, local
driving habits and parking. If you do drive in, good luck.
CROSSING THE BORDER
You are on the east side of the freeway and to get into Mexico you
need to get to the other side of the freeway. After you exit the
parking lot on foot, go right (south) and follow everyone else toward
a bridge that will take you to the border crossing. Do not feel funny
if it looks like you are the only gringo going into Mexico. There are
plenty of American's in TJ. NOTE: when you return from TJ, the entry
into the US is on the east side of the freeway (same as the parking
lot) so getting back to your car is a breeze.
After you cross the bridge over the freeway, you will go through the
turnstyles and you are now in Mexico.
SOME MEXICO NOTES:
Guns are very illegal in Mexico.
I recommend leaving all jewelry (rings, etc.) behind in the U.S.
Try to dress down (I wear jeans and a t-shirt). Like the jewelry, you
do not want to stand out.
The prescription drug laws in Mexico are vauge. Americans have been
jailed for years for purchasing them in the wrong manner. I recommend
staying away from this.
Stay away from illegal drugs.
While drinking is great, DO NOT get drunk in TJ. You will end up
acting stupid and attracting unwanted attention from the police.
Remember, this ain't America so drop the attitude. Always be polite
and humble, especially if questioned by the police. The police here
do not care about your civil rights, you have none here.
GETTING TO LA ZONA
After entering Mexico, you will pass through Mexican "customs" (one
guy in a uniform sitting in a chair yakking on a cell phone or to some
locals) and go through another set of turnstyles.
You will see some taxi cab's. If you are a single guy or in a group
of guys, the taxi drivers all know where you want to go. They will
start yelling out names of clubs or other offerings, "Hey guys,
Chicago Club, Adelita's, Luxor, donkey show," etc. Take a cab, it
only costs five bucks. If it is night, DO NOT try to walk to Zona
Roja. The walk goes through some bad dark areas and I have read
reports of people being jumped/robbed.
Ask the cab driver to take you to Adelita's. I have only been to
Adelita's twice. Chicago club is also rated very good and is in
walking distance (across the street) from Adelitas. The cab driver
might try to talk you into going elsewhere, they want to go to a place
that pays them a finders fee for bringing you to them. Politely
refuse their offer. About 85% of the reviews I have read on line are
from Chicago Club or Adelita's.
NOTE ON ZONA ROJA
The Zona Roja reminds me of the Gaslamp district in San Diego. It is
well lit and landscaped and rather clean. Stick to this area,
especially at night. I recommend only going between Adelita's and
Chicago Club ONLY. Stay out of the alley's where the street
prostitues are.
ADELITA'S
Adelita's is a loud fun place. The music and DJ are all in Spanish.
The place is about 50% gringos, 50% locals. Don't worry, all the
waiters speak English and are very friendly (as is everyone in here).
Sit down at a table and soak it all in a bit. They have TV's playing
Fox Sports, etc and of course the ladies.
The girls will be standing around all over. Some roam around, others
do not. Some will approach you and chat. This can range from minor
chit chat all the way up to blantant offers to go upstairs. Some
girls will ask you to buy them a drink. The girls all get "tokens"
from the bartender for each drink you buy them and oh, their orange
juice will set you back $8 compared to your beer that is $2. My
advice, TAKE YOUR TIME. If you like the girl, great. Buy her the
drink and chat, if not tell her you are not interested. It is
business and they know this. They will move on. The girls are not
too pushy with the drinks, they are more interested in gettng you
"upstairs."
The last thing you want here is buyers remorse. Make sure to take a
good walk around and check out all the girls before deciding on one.
The girls also rotate in and out so it changes. If you see one you
like, ask her to come sit with you, she will be more than happy to.
Be sure to order yourself something from the bartender. And do not
forget, a dollar goes a long way here so tipping is recommended. Do
not worry about drinks with ice in them. Despite the rumors, Mexicans
are not immune to their own tap water and they will get sick too if
they drink it. All water/ice used in food prep in Mexico is purified
and is OK to drink. And once again DO NOT get drunk in TJ as you are
inviting trouble.
NEGOTIATING THE DEAL
Once you choose a girl it is time to negotiate the deal. Before you
go "upstairs" you need to be sure you will get what you want. Be sure
to cover things such as:
Specifically what you want (Sex, BJ, Anal, etc). A few girls will not
give a BJ, many will not do anal. Be sure to ask if this is what you
want.
Will they take off ALL their clothes? Both girls I was with wanted to
pull their tops up (not off) for some reason.
Price (expect to pay $40-$60 for sex)
Some girls speak a little english, some speak a lot. Your waiter or
another girl can help you with this negotiating if need be. Most
girls know enough English to get the deal done. If you speak no
Spanish, try an on line translation web site to translate and then
memorize some key phrases before you go.
GOING UPSTAIRS
The "hotel" is out the front door of Adelita's about 10 feet to the
left. You go up some stairs. The room will cost you $12 for 1 half
hour. You get a towel and sheet to put over the bed. You may want to
get an extra towel for $1.
The hotel is clean with tile floors throughout. I have stayed in
Motel 6's in the US that were much worse, so while this place is not
the Ritz, it is not bad.
When you enter the room, the girl may want payment up front, which I
have no problem with. They get to business right away and will urge
you to do the same. They provide the condom, which is required for
anything but a hand job. You may want to pick some up in the US if
you are paranoid like me.
The girls will generally start off with a BJ for a little bit to get
you going and then ride you until the end. It is up to you to tell
them if you want a specific position. After the deed is done, they do
some minor cleanup and leave. Some will wait to walk you out, others
will not. The girls are very polite and professional.
When you exit the room, the cleanup guy will be lurking around waiting
for a tip. Be prepared to give him $1. If you forget, he will remind
you, the girl will remind you or another member of the hotel staff
will remind you. This will happen so be prepared with your dollar.
LEAVING BACK TO THE US
There are planty of taxis in front waiting. Tell them you want to go
to "the sentry at the border." This is important because they will
drop you off about 25 feet from the entry to the US. If not, they
would drop you off by the taxis stand on the other side of the road
which is a longer darker walk to the border.
You will need a drivers license to get into the US. Beginning
12/31/2007, you will need a passport. Do not screw around at US
customs. Do not try to smuggle in cuban cigars (95% are fake in TJ
anyway) or anything else. When you exit US customs, you car will be a
very short walk away.
COST OF THE TRIP:
$5.00 - Taxis to Adelita's
$24.00 - Drinks and tips in Adelita's
$60.00 - The "girl"
$12.00 - The room
$1.00 - The room cleanup guy
$5.00 - Taxi home
$107.00 - TOTAL, not bad for a fun night of drinking and partying.
You can negotiate with the girl to save a few bucks. My opinion, why
bother as it is well worth the $$ as is.
==============
One of the best reports I've read here -- haven't been to TJ since my
college days (30 years ago) but it's the same today by this report as it was
then, just higher prices. Now, how are things in Mexicalli?
