4th Trip to HK Tijuana

My 4th trip to HK staying there for two nights from April 18th to April 20th. As mentioned in my previous reviews of HK and my last article, I typically add brief notes to my phone after arriba sessions to refer back to when writing posts.

Crossed in to Mexico at around 2pm on Monday the 18th and decided to just walk through in the “local” line instead of the “Foreigner/Extranjero” line. Wasn’t too busy this time of day and walked right through to the X-ray line for bags without any problems. I think this may be the best thing to do to avoid the $30 shakedown. They seem to target people who voluntarily line up in the Foreigner/Extranjero side but pay no attention to the mass of locals on the left side. My plan was to just show them my FMM form I had received in my 2nd trip allowing me in and out access to Mexico for the next six months but I was never approached.

Checked in to Cascadas around 2:30pm or so after walking to the hotel and only had a double deluxe room since all the double master suites were taken unfortunately. Dropped my stuff off in the room and immediately went to Tacos el Franc for some great al pastor and cabeza tacos. Made a small stop on the way back to buy some blue pills at Farmacia Piri by the wax museum and also bought some water at Oxxo to keep in the room and relaxed a bit. Cleaned up and made my way down to HK at about 6pm and took my time knowing that I just wanted a relaxing trip instead of trying to squeeze in as many arriba sessions as I can. Spotted a great-looking girl on the smaller stage close to the north entrance and approached her after she was done with her dance. Short hair with some blonde highlights, great smile, and slim figure with no BBL. Had a relaxed ficha session and took her up for some fun arriba. Not among the best of sessions but a good time nonetheless. Was pretty tired at this point and decided to call it a night after walking her back down since I had plans with a girl I’ve repeated with a few times the next day.

Not a bad night of rest except for the guy outside whistling all night trying to get people in one of the bars… more than likely Tropical Bar. Made it down to HK somewhat early the following day and was really slow as expected. Perhaps 8-10 girls at most available at this point but was able to meet up with the girl I’ve repeated with a few times now and had a great time catching up with her before taking her up for a quality arriba session. After walking her back down, rested up in the room for a good amount of time and walked over to Tacos el Franc again for more al pastor tacos but also threw in some carne asada tacos as well. Quality meal and I’m pretty sure I’ll be hitting that spot at least once every trip. On my way back to Cascadas walking north on the west side of Revolucion, a municipal police cop in a car pulled up beside me and motioned for me to come to his passenger window. In Spanish he asked where I was going, where I lived, where I worked, and if I was drinking any beers. I answered all of his questions back in Spanish and he seemed to be satisfied with my answers as he gave me a fist bump and I was on my way. I didn’t have anything in my pockets except my phone, chapstick, hotel key card, and maybe a few dollars (less than $15) so even if he searched me, he wasn’t about to get a lot of cash.

Hung out in the room a bit and made my way back down to HK later in the evening. Place was jammed and it was the most crowded I’ve experienced so far but then again, I’ve obviously never been on a weekend. No seats or bar stools available in the lower level in HK and I never really venture upstairs but it looked crowded from my viewpoint. Hung out in the Chavelas side for several hours chatting it up with another monger who was there for the night from LA. He had been going to TJ for about 30 years but prefers to get a room in the US side by the Otay Mesa border and sleep there instead of staying in TJ. His rationale is that he gets a much better night of sleep this way… makes sense. Guy had put down 7-8 shots of tequila while I was chatting with him and he was getting sauced at this point so I decided to do some scoping out for an arriba session before hitting the sack. After a lap around the HK side which was insanely crowded, came back to Chavelas where there was plenty of talent and picked up a great-looking girl that looked like she just came back from the beach. Tan skin, long straight hair, killer smile, great fake tits, no BBL. Fun ficha session where she mentioned she’s from Cancun which was a little different. Almost all the girls are from Guadalajara, or at least the ones I’ve spoken with. An average arriba session but her looks made up for it a little bit. After walking her down, crashed in the room as I had plans to get one more arriba session in with the girl I’ve repeated with before checking out.

Only got a few hours of sleep but back to HK later that morning. Met up with the same girl again and relaxed with a long ficha session. She told me that girls are required to get 100 ficha drinks per week. Yikes. I asked what happens if they don’t make their quota, and she mentioned that management asks that they work a little longer. She also mentioned that some girls make over 100 ficha drinks a day. Damn. Had our best arriba session yet and walked her down afterwards so that I could check out at a decent time and get back to the airport for an early afternoon flight. Took the free transpo from Cascadas to the border and crossed through with no problems with Global Entry. Trolley to Middletown stop, walked to the rental car center, and took their shuttle to the airport with plenty of time to get back.

I think some of the better arriba sessions I’ve had are with slightly older girls in their late 20’s or early 30’s. That’s not to say that some of the younger girls weren’t rocking, but it just seems to be a strong correlation that slightly older girls provide better sessions. Then again, it’s some of the slightly older women that put 30-minute alarms on their phones which is insanely irritating. So who knows… I guess it’s all a guessing game still. My VIP expired so I’ll more than likely head back to TJ later in the year when temperatures cool down a bit. Will try and do the same thing and squeeze in one trip a month for 3 months before the VIP expires.

Another thank you to the solid info provided by contributors to the board.

Nice travelogue, dude. You should put together an article just for foodie options in Tijuana. :-)

I'm kinda skeptical about the idea of a BG having 100 fichas in a shift... assuming that it would take an average of 5 minutes per drink that's like 8 hours of drinking, not to mention the fact that she'd have to have a bladder the size of an autobus. Lol.

On the subject of upstairs in HK, I usually go up there when I want some time to myself as the BGs don't seem to approach me as often up there. When Chavelas was separated I used to go there for the same reason, but now it's more to check out the freshly arrived BGs and to avoid the crowd at the entrance of HK...

Glad you had fun. I still need to go to tacos el franc as I've heard good things. Idk about the 100/wk as I was told 40 and I thought she said a month, but could have been a week. I doubt they're "renting their space" for $1000/week which would be the equivalent of 100 drinks bought for them. Also, I don't know when you were told this, but I would ask a girl after we went arriba and might get a better answer. If you're still at the bar, they may try to give you a sob story in hopes you buy them drinks to help the quota...whereas if you already took the girl upstairs, she prob knows you're not going to go back to the bar and give her fichas....so she is more likely to just be upfront with you. Just my thoughts anyway.

Mongo/Smitty - Agree with you both on the number of fichas these BGs are required to pull in. Who knows what the actual number is since I only believe about 5% of what they say. I don’t spend a lot on fichas anyway since one is plenty to decide whether to take her arriba or not.

@Halfnhalf

I don't agree about not spending much on fichas... I see them as part entertainment, part investment. If you're there for a couple of days, you're going to spend time just hanging around in the club but not ready to pull the trigger and go upstairs. Might as well spend that time with company, and the girl will remember you when you're ready. When I go, I like to budget an equal amount of money for fichas/tips/drinks that I bring for arribas if not slightly more.
