Let me explain the right way to have fun in Tijuana WITHOUT risk of getting robbed and beaten half to death. BTW - this shit rarely happens now of days BUT - It can still happen if not careful. I'm Mexican and I still watch my back when I got out there.
First off, if you're from L.A (like me) and driving, my best advice is to park right across from the border (which it's $10 flat fee) walk into T.J and get a cab to drive you there. The cost is about $5,$6. The perk to this is when you come back - you don't have to do that 2-3hr wait in line in your car when the cab will take you straight to the line and the walk back to the U.S is about 10-20min wait. Your wait could even be less time than that if you have your passport card instead of the book. I have the card and I usually wait about 5 min to cross. If you're an out of stater, you could do 2 things 1: Fly in to San Diego, reserve a hotel that's about 5 minutes from the border (when I don't feel like driving back real late, I usually reserve a hotel at the Motel 6 or days Inn for $70 a night, both are real clean hotels and 1 mile form the border) rent a car and make the 20-30 minute drive from airport towards the border and do the same as parking in the U.S side and walk in to get the cab. OR fly in to TJ and get a nice 4 star hotel (yes, they do exist there) I think one of those hotels is named Hotel Real del Rio. Usually the best hotels in TJ that are trustworthy will cost between $60 - $80 a night, ask for a cab then tell them to take you to Adelitas. again, the cab fair is $5, $6.
THINGS TO DO TO BE SAFE OUT THERE WHILE CLUBBING: For one; unless you REALLY have to because you're shopping and bringing back a lot of things to stuff in a cab, don't and I do repeat DON'T drive your own car out there. You're a HUGE bait for cops out there trying to make a quick buck. Once they see California plates, they'll target you to pull you over for any stupid little thing. Me and a cousin learned that the hard way a few years back, why I started leaving my car on the other side. We were picking up a relative who had flew in from Guadalajara but we had trouble finding his hotel. Since we were driving up and down to find that hotel, a cop pulled us over saying we looked suspicious and threatened to take our car and book us if we didn't give him $100. I had about $2k in my pocket so if it came down to getting booked, that money would have been gone during the search, so I would rather lose $100 than 2k at that point. LESSON LEARNED!
Some people also say that you need to be extra careful if you're not Mexican, WRONG! Same thing can happen to us as to Americans if you get out of line. So when you're out there, be kind to waiters/bartenders. Tip them $1 for every other beer you get, might not be a lot on the U.S side but to them it is. If you show them love, they'll highly appreciate it and you won't get messed with. These kind of clubs in TJ want you to keep buying drinks while in the establishment, if you don't tip and then you decide you don't want a drink anymore, guess what happens? The bartender will call up the bouncers, say you're not buying drinks and out you'll go! And if they TRULY want to be dicks, they'll call a cop and shit will get worst, I've seen it before and it was to a Hispanic guy. So when you tip and then pass on the next offer for a drink, they'll be cool with it, trust me!
Also, NEVER have $100 bills on you out there and in you wallet, in fact - you should NEVER have over $20 bills on you. If you're taking over $200 heading out there, stash your money! This is what I do. Under my pants I have some shorts that look like boxers that have pockets, I put my money in there This protects you from the women who sit next to you and try to pick pocket you (put a mouse trap in your pocket and get a good laugh when it's attempted, LOL JK) When paying for a drink, if it's only for you, try paying with $5 bills or less, but if you're paying for you and friends, pay with $20 bills and under. You DON'T want to pay with $50 bills and higher, this is why. This happened to a friend of mine a few years back and seen it happen to others many times. You order drinks, pay with a $50 and you get short changed. You say you payed with a $50 and the bartender says no, it was a $20.. Guess who's going to win? Not you! My friend paid with a $100 bill for his beer. Waiter clocked out and left with $100.
If you want to go club hopping, the best places are right there on the same block. There's no need to go elsewhere. Adelitas, Hong Kong and Chicago's STAY ON THAT BLOCK!. There are so many people walking around there that it's too difficult for robbers to get you. If you meet a dancer who wants to go for sex outside of the club - that should be a red flag that perhaps she wants to rip you off. All clubs don't allow women to leave the club for sex as they all have their own hotel right above the club for it. They can try to persuade you by saying they can charge you less if you go to her place instead, but you're better off paying club rates than paying with your life.
One last thing to be aware of: If you're at table with a lady and you start ordering drinks, ask the bartender to open up your beer at the table. You don't want your drink getting Bill Cosby'd and when you go up to the room with the lady, you pass out and get robbed. No one in that hotel room is going to help you if this happens. Most likely this won't happen because then the club will get a bad rap, but you never know when that shady bartender/lady team shows up one night. Better safe than to be sorry. OH, AND BEFORE I FORGET, If you're into the drugs, DON'T buy some from people out there. I know it might be a hard choice to refuse but you need to remember that TJ people are extremely poor. To the point that they will kill for a quick $100, they don't care! If they say they can score you cheap drugs and want to lead you somewhere else, just walk away from that. It will lead to no good. BE SMART& CAUTIOUS, try to blend in with the crowd like if you've been there many times and know what you're doing. Cops and thugs are like sharks, they sense weakness.
THE NEGOTIATIONS: Some say that Honk Kong is the best - I've been to both and Adelitas takes the prize here. Both have their share of attractive and unattractive women, but Adelitas has far more choices of women by far. Of late, The better looking have been trying to charge $100 for sex when the prices are $60, don't be a fool and agree right away. Negotiate it it down to $60 but if you feel it's worth it - if the lowest she'll go is $80, by all means go for it. Now of course, most to all girls have sex with a condom - I am all for that. But I HATE a blow job with it on.A BJ with a rubber on is like going to burger joint and ordering a BLT, what's the point? I have negotiated with girls ( not all agree but some will) to blow me without one for an extra $30 to my $60 for sex. So if this is something you want, try to negotiate it. Always try to negotiate prices down from where they start their price at. I know for a fact that the ones that will say yes right away to a negotiated price, are the ones who aren't getting customers.
Now you might say - Well, if she's not getting customers she might not be good looking - But not really. Most guys who go there are not new customers, some to most are there religiously every week, and that place has new girls all the time, so the new attractive girls are getting all the action. There was once a girl who I saw there for 2 hours without getting a customer. She was attractive, about 5'5, brown curly hair, C cups, small waist and a big ass - J-LO type ass. But since she wasn't new anymore, told me she's been working there for about a year now, guys were already passing her by. I approached her and told her how much for sex, she told me $60. I told her If she would go for $50, she kind of paused for a second then said , OK. But before we went upstairs, I told her I had $120 left in my pocket and I wanted to make 1 offer to her for the $100, if she declined then I wouldn't go. She wanted to know what it was. I said I wanted to get a BJ without a rubber and fuck her up her ass. She didn't want to take that offer at first. I told her I saw her here for 2hrs and no one was getting her. She could make 2 customer profits with one and what did she prefer, no money or make twice for one visit. It took about 10 minutes but she finally agreed. Spending $120 plus $12 for the motel upstairs for a chick with that kind of body was nothing for me. A girl like her, in a strip club here in L.A can easily have made $200-$300 for FS in the VIP. Just remember that you control shit with them when it comes to what you want and at what price. Don't let them control you. But don't be a dick about it either because TJ isn't the place where you want to act like that. Just stand your ground and make the offer. For one that won't negotiate, 2 will with the same kind of attractive body. $50 has been the lowest I've ever negotiated from the $60 or $70 they want to charge. But like I said before, the ones not constantly going upstairs are the ones who will cave in to the lowered price. Also, don't forget to tip the cleaning crew of the hotel. You'll see them once you walk out of the room when you're done asking for a tip. I always give the guy $1. They're happy with that.
And before you leave Adelitas, if you love tacos - make a left when you exit the club and around the corner is the taco man. BEST tacos in the world there for $1.25. Sometimes, I look forward more to the tacos than the girls. LOL
Have fun and be safe! HAPPY HUMPING - Lapdancelover23
