Chica Caliente

Dropped in to this classic, unspoiled Lake City dive about 2 pm last Wednesday to duck out of the unrepentant early afternoon Seattle traffic. Club is still a mess with worn out furniture and a bathroom that would make even the raunchiest Mexican bus station restroom look like the Taj Mahal. Only about four other patrons present when I walked in and they were clearly there for regulars. Two stages with the standard rotation of dancers doing two songs each.

Only about eight dancers trolling the floor on this day and most looked like they were pushing 40 candles. Most were of the Caucasian persuasion, but did see a hot, petite Asian and an older Mexican dancer. Seemed to be a sure and steady parade back to the playground area for privates and all the dancers were kept busy, in particular the Mexican dancer who was practically carving out a groove in the cheap carpeting going back and forth.

Test drove a few dancers and as is the norm at Pandora's, prices were all over the map ranging from $20-50 per. Sorry, but the value just isn't there compared to the other clubs I've patronized elsewhere. Against my better judgement, I then took the Mexican back for a spin and got an exceptional and surprisingly good time out of it. Honestly though, she wasn't much to look at but I guess if you close your eyes and relax, it can end well and she is a value play all things considered.
