🐍 La Víbora: A Depraved Evening with a Tropi Chica

Tropi is always second choice, the red-headed stepchild, slumped on the other side of Calle Coahuila from the dazzling Hong Kong club. Chicas get sent here because they're too *feo* for Hong Kong, they've gained weight or they're getting punished for some arbitrary reason.

Yet Tropi is a great place for searching for diamonds in the rough, and a wonderful refuge when Hong Kong just isn't hitting right. Dejected from a slew of busted fichas at HK, and beginning to miss my ATF, I found myself at Tropi around 6:30 PM on a Friday night. I wasn't expecting much, maybe just a reprieve to steel myself for another round battling the dragon. Instead, I sloshed through this sea of gorditas and found a diamond.

In this review I will cover Place, People, and Prices of Bar Tropical, and devote significant time to reviewing my time with this diamond. You're in for a 22-27 minute read here. Please see my prior review of Hong Kong club for details on hotels, getting to and from the Zona, and general protips for navigating the ficha and arriba processes in Tijuana.
