"...if you live here you are making enough money." That is quite an assumption.

I doubt that Jascoi is providing an exact count, but we are acquainted. TJ is practically his second home. For him, 300 is probably an undercount.

In the past, it was named Bar Tropical, a little more in line with the structure of the Spanish language. However, most American patrons referred to it as Tropical Bar. I am guessing that the owners just went with the flow.

Haven’t been there in a few years, but always had fun here. Nice change of pace.

I have always had a great time here. Not sure why you are not getting better service.

There’s a guide written by EastCoaster that is dated but still helpful. I always go alone. Lately, I have met up with fellow mongers, most of whom I have connected with on this board. Post when you will be in TJ. Might meet up with someone. I will be there on 1/27 if that works for you.

Tried two different models from Timekettle. Not quite there yet. Tried the mid price set in Santiago. There is an off line mode, but we couldn’t make it work very well. Better with an internet connection, but in Santiago it was hard to find a place with internet. Tried again in Tijuana at a restaurant. Better, but the lag was enough that it was little improvement over Google Translate. Bought their top of the line version for myself for Xmas. No better. Indeed, after I spoke in English, my pod said some gibberish. Asked my girl if she understood the Spanish and she said yes. When she spoke Spanish, the English translation was clear and fairly accurate. However, the gibberish feedback after I spoke was terribly annoying. Contacted Timekettle about the issue but three days and no reply. I returned them for a refund. And little things, like the bulky carry case was also annoying. The translations were printed out on the phone so mistakes were easy to spot, but they were not an improvement over Google Translate. I put it daily lessons and try to get pronunciation help from locals, but complex topics or a noisy environment are difficult for me. Patience and Google Translate work well. I hope that someday soon a translation tool like this will work as designed, but it isn’t there yet.

Never used their services, but I was part of the small real estate sales office that sold the property to Hof. The owner of the RE office was a good customer as well as the broker. He also had a rental section that rented houses in South Lake Tahoe to the girls. It was a dive when Dennis took it over. He was a great promoter, put things on track, and kept prices reasonable. I thought it was steep then. Tijuana certainly better. And for many, the European FKKs, including travel, offer much more for less money. Thanks for the review. Due to those prices, one can understand why there is a lack of reviews.

Good Review

I use the ATMs on Revolución. They are just a few dollars in fees. However, they are closed at night and sometimes Sundays and holidays. I consider the small bank fee cheap insurance compared to risking your entire bank being taken by the bandits with badges.

Something that should be made clear is that the VIP cards are not bidirectional. A Hong Kong VIP card is good at Rizo, but the Tropical Bar card cannot be used for Cascades or for HK benefits, such as a free drink. Also, La Gloria is primarily a taxi dance club; little pole/strip dancing. This is a good guide and the effort to write it is much appreciated. There are a few others that are dated, such as one written by EastCoaster, that contain valuable information.

I agree. There is at least one in San Jose. Cafe Nguyen as I recall. I am told that there is another, but haven’t found it. Interesting that there the girls are topless and bottomless. Clothing in the middle, which must make sense to somebody. Mostly strolling around collecting tips. Good change of pace and the music is not so loud as to causing hearing loss.

It is Mexico. Strippers have been observed dancing in the bar. What are the odds that FS is available?

Was in there twice. Once on a weekday. There were about six girls and one was pole dancing. Second time it was on a weekend and it was much like it locals bar. Very active. Didn’t stay long enough either time to get a good feel.

Mexicali is just a few hours drive from San Ysidro. You can rent a car or there are some bus services. There are about eight clubs scattered around the city. Very safe for Gringos. Locals are cool. Got a friendly mesero In one of the clubs if you want me to contact him on your behalf.

Amusing.

I don’t want to know my statistics, especially the dollars spent, as, I am sure that the amount is so much higher than I should allow. Also, I very much try to live in the moment. Memories are great to have, but I would miss a lot of the spontaneity if I were distracted by the effort to gather statistics and keep score. Interesting article none the less.

Socalclubber, thanks for the pictures. She is…what’s the technical term….HOT.

During the day, I used to enjoy the low key atmosphere of HK. An indication that I am getting old must be my dislike for a crowd. Well written review.

Very complete review. Something must have changed. Haven’t been there in a few years, but in the past, the stage and the rest of the room was well lit.

And you don’t have to go that far, as there are other clubs outside the formal zona, in Tijuana. So far, I have found them to be low key, but that is likely because I have not visited them solo. If you ever want to hang out and trade stories, let me know.

Enjoy reading your reviews. Same. Although I don’t care for HK, TJ has spoiled me for US clubs. Driving by my old haunts, I think of what the money that I spent there could have bought me in TJ. The smaller clubs tend to provide chicas who are more my style (young MILFs). And with a roster of ATFs that enjoy TLNs with me, I am satisfied with the memories. Great review.

RonJax2: I am going to keep the ATFn nomenclature, as the numeric does indicate ranking and rating. ATF1 is local and I have been seeing her for almost nine years now. Best puta in la camma that I have ever had. ATF2 is from Central Mexico and comes to TJ for a few weeks every few months to make bank, so I have to time my visits if I want to see her. If she were local and available anytime, she could be ATF1. ATF3 is not local either and is in TJ only when she needs money. And she is new to the roster, so her status could change. Planning to visit her at her home in March. So it typically works out that ATF1 is always available and will quite work, even on weekends, to be with me TLN/OTC. ATF2 prefers that we TLN/OTC on her days off, but will sacrifice a work day to be with me. ATF3 is always available OTC after her shift and on days off. So my pattern is 1-2 nights with ATF1 every visit and 1-2 nights with another ATF. And at least one day visiting fellow mongers and looking for ATF4. FYI, regarding the drugs. I have little problem with people who partake, but I am too paranoid to have them near me in Mexico. And in the USA, a bust would probably invalidate my GE card, which has spoiled me terribly. Just today, ATF1 sent me a note indicating that she has quit all drugs. (She was a lightweight to begin with.) Again, I have no issues with those who use them recreationally, but ATF1 suffers from clinical depression and really needs to keep straight.

Crossed during the Turnip administration. Crossed during Covid. Even if the border is “closed,” American citizens cannot be denied return entry into the United States.

Stayed at Rosarito Beach hotel last month. Pool is out of commission, but the outdoor hot tub is great and the cold pool is exactly that, cold. My chica did dive into the cold pool, but she is a wild one. She didn’t last 10 seconds. The room has been updated since we stayed there seven years ago. Very comfortable mini suite. Hotel restaurant is okay. Better restaurants in town, a short walk away. Easy access to the beach as well. Uber is available. We took a taxi to Crazy Girls for 80 pesos. The clubs were weak on a Thursday night. Weekends are likely better. Overall, the city is fairly safe, even late at night. Was in Ensalada last year with the same chica. A little further, but a much better experience overall. Paris by Night was a fun club and the town itself offers more things to explore. Very safe city.
