Thanks for the reply, PAFBABS. Agree I will stick to Rizo now as I get to make these OTC hookups. As of now, I have been in Zona only four times and don't have ATF, but this is what I will be working on. I guess this is part of the fun :)

Thanks @Jascoi. This is very helpful.

@OPIllini96, @Jascoi - are there specific floors/rooms that are known to be quiet that you recommend at Rizo?

PAFBABS - In my case, I plan to stay in the Zona for couple of days, is hotel Rizo good for 2-3 night stay? I NEED a good Wifi and a room good enough for sleeping. I will need to make calls and I don't want any wired noise/sound be heard (girls moaning, club music, etc.) .. is Rizo a good option for this? My other option is to have another room outside the Zona but that requires back/forth to the clubs as this is my main purpose of the trip, and I want to avoid the hassle of using taxi/uber, especially at night.

PutaTester - Glad they didn't the remaining $300 :) But, yeah, looks like a seasonal uptick around the holidays .. In the past four times that I visited (in June, Nov, Jan and Feb) I never had any issue. I would walk without feeling unsafe between HK, TB and CC late night.

Ah, that's too bad PutaTester. This is another guy who also surrendered $200 just last week: https://www.reddit.com/r/TJRedLightDistrict/comments/1h4ol2p/extorted_by_police_for_200/ Not sure what's the best way to avoid all of this shit. I plan to visit end of Jan early Feb, and may be the only way to avoid this is to get a room in Casacadas/Rizo and just hop in/out of the clubs (TB/HK) .. I'd like to try La Carreta, Gloria, etc. But this shit makes me feel it's risky to walk for even such short distance.

Great review, PutaTester. How is the situation in the Zona regarding police presence? I am asking because of the recent frequent reports of police flocking the Zona, patting people, extorting money ..

Thanks for the advise and the story, PAFBABS. 100% agree. I always kept low key while there in the few times I visited. I must say that people are generally nice there, I never had an issue with anyone. Can't wait to be there.

.. and is amazing to know that you still can get arriba for $80

felixculpa - Can you report on the situation in the the Zona regarding safety and police presence? I am seeing several reports of police harassing people trying to extort money. Even though this seems to be normal around this time of each year, but this time around it seems unusually more frequent. Not sure if these reports are accurate. I plan to visit late Jan or early Feb.

justinyoo - Please post a review about your visit to the Zona. I am seeing more reports of police harassing people trying to extort money. Even though this seems to be normal around this time of each year, but this time around it seems unusually more frequent. Not sure if these reports are accurate. I plan to visit late Jan or early Feb.

PAFBABS - I am glad you found my review useful. I have been living in San Diego since 2012 and never been to TJ until summer 2023 due to the bad publicity around TJ being unsafe. I used to fly to Pattaya once a year and spend two weeks until last year's trip that was cut short when I said fuck it and crossed the border staight to HK on a Monday night. Man, was I shocked .. even today I can't describe that feeling. Girls, girls and more girls so hot and so sexy all you need to do is watch and choose. I was overwhelmed by the quantity, quality of the girls and the simplicity of the whole thing. I couldn't believe this place existed in my backyard - what an ignorance and waste of time waiting to go once a year to Asia when the Zona is right there.  After that first time, I visited the Zona three times and it was during my second trip when I stepped into TB. HK will always be amazing and I found a couple of gems there, but it is very transactional. I must say that I fell in love with TB. It is chill and the girls are easy going and I have this thing for thick natural latinas which is what TB mostly offers. I am yet to experience CC because it was mostly empty every time I checked it out. I plan next time in the Zona to stay there multiple nights and try OTC and I will see how it goes. I don't know, but from humble experience TB seems to be good ground for that. Do you have suggestions for OTC? like best hotels to stay for such encounters, cost expectations, etc. Thanks. 

I guess he meant CIC :)

Nice report @JayhawkJohn. Do they still have the construction on the street in front of HK? Also, on being careful of walking around, does this apply to the area around HK or just far out. I always walk around HK and TB on Coahuila, HK back alley (where Azul is) and walk to Chicago club, never had any issues.

Thank you so much @OPIllini96. Then Rizo is the answer. For me the convenience of having quick and easy access to the clubs is they key for my visit to work. I want to be able hop in and out, see what's happening, try the girls and be in the middle of the action. It is this simplicity that I am after. Now I just need to work on taking time off work :)

Every time I visit in the Zona I check CC. But I haven't been lucky so far in all times I checked them out, they were almost empty and I would leave immediately. I only visited the Zona on Mon thru Wed and I would check CC around 1am, though.

Are there quiet rooms in Rizo? I plan to visit during the week only, Monday through Wednesdays. I just don't want loud or weird background noise as I may need to make work related calls. I also need a decent WiFi.

OPIllini96, agree . There is really good value in other clubs. I really like TB now. Every time I am in the Zona I check CC. But I haven't been lucky so far in all times I checked them out, they were almost empty and I would leave immediately. But I have only visited the Zona on Mon, Tue and Wed and I would usually check CC around 1am. I should try other times, but my visits to the Zona have been limited to 11pm-3am.

Great review. I only visited Zona on Monday thru Wednesday and I like it. More easy going I guess. Not sure, but I had a girl that fits your description that I had taken before on Monday night. She was really nice. She had white skin and looked like a European than a Mexican even though she spoke zero English, I guess she said she was from Sinaloa if I remember. But I wish I run by her again.

Yep. This is what I also thought. She was a sweet, sexy and curvy lady and the service was amazing. I wish I can see her again next time in TJ.

Thank you guys for the feedback. I am assuming that cabs are safe to use. I never used them in TJ before. I always wanted to check the Zona other clubs and see how is the situation at HK/TB/CC during the day or early evening.
