So where are listings for massage places. I've never seen any in papers here.
By Zerped on Monday, October 29, 2001 - 07:29 pm: Edit |
My first visit to Mexico was a week in Mazatlan one month ago. As a newbie to "mongering," I looked forward to the visit with equal parts excitement and trepidation. My first two nights I came up with perfectly logical reasons why it wasn't "the right time" to hit the clubs, houses and massage parlors I have read about on this site. Basically, I was still chicken.
Then the third night, I hooked up with Striking Viking, after exchanging e-mails earlier. SV's on the early stages of a motorcycle trip from CA through Mexico to Central America, down the west coast of South America, up the east coast, and back up again: 22,000 miles. It can safely be said that SV isn't the timid type.
Over dinner we laid out a plan; we'd visit a club called Caballito's in La Zona Rosa. Our cab ride is 20 minutes from the Zona Dorado, the last five down a dirt road through a neighborhood that's poor and dismal, even by Mexican standards. I had been told that this was the best strip club in town: good women, good prices, good security.
The setup inside is probably familiar to regular mongers. Table dances are 40 pesos, drinks about 10 pesos. Once we're settled, I choose a girl for my first Mexican table dance. She looks like actress Tia Carrere, only much larger breasts. She's soon naked, on all fours on our table facing away from me. Eddie, our "procurer," is standing to my right, yelling "Touch her, touch her!" like a coxswain egging on the rowing crew. The Mexicans to my right are giggling and watching attentively.
I grab a tight butt cheek in either hand and squueze, like kneading pizza dough.
Tia looks back at me, stone-faced, and hooks her right ankle behind my right ear, her left behind my left ear, and with a pulling motion as quick as a mousetrap, snaps my head forward, into her crotch, and holds me there. As pleasant as my new environment was, I got the feeling my head wasn't leaving until I did something with it, so I gave a few furtive licks and nibbles, and Tia released me.
Quickly she was on her knees in front of me. She unbuckled my belt, which didn't surprise me TOO much, but then unzipped my fly and pulled my pants down, which DID surprise me. She then pulled the top of my jockey shorts back, reached in, and yanked on my johnson a few times. By now I had forgotten that there were 100 or so people around us. Satisfied that I was hard (and I was!), she proceeded to lick my balls through the shorts, then run her mouth up and down my hard-on, with just the damp fabric of my underwear keeping this from being an actual blowjob.
The dance ended, I paid Eddy, the money guy, and got many congratulations in Spanish and "thumbs
up" from the neighboring tables. After another table dance (this one a bit more tame) I decided to go for the private room for 450 pesos with my second dancer, Eva. I chose her partly for the fact that she was the only dancer who made eye contact from the stage and smiled at me, and partly because she was the only dancer who, after receiving her table dance money, paused to cross herself and say "Gracias a Dios."
We got into the private room and began. I filed divorce papers and a restraining order on my wife Jan. 21, and had not had sex since the beginning of the year. I figured my 15 minutes would be MORE than enough time to get off after such a dry spell. Once Eva and I got going, however, I began worrying that I wouldn't get off fast enough. Eva got the idea too, and her hips went into some kind of overdrive and I came in just under the wire, so to speak.
As we walked to the cab, I mentioned to SV that it had been 8 months since I'd had sex. "Eight months?" he said with astonishment. "I've never gone eight DAYS without pussy: I can't imagine what eight months would be like." After he spoke I realized that it had actually been TEN months, but decided not to correct myself and freak him out even more.
Perhaps the best part of the adventure was that, when I checked my mail upon arrival back home, I discovered that the divorce papers were entered into the county records Friday, Oct. 5; the day of my first monger experience. All these months I had sworn that when the divorce became totally final, I was going to do something really special to celebrate, and as it turns out, that's exactly what I did.

This has come up a number of times.
Zona roja- Red light district also known as the Zona de tolerancia
Zona rosa- The only zona rosa I'm aware of is in Mexico City and has become a zona roja but was originally an upscale area like the zona dorada in Mazatlan

Zerped, Well If u had not read, I was in Maz from 9-10 thru 9-17 and I spent several evenings at caballitos. I hope my post helped you and I know the exact girl you are speaking of. She did pretty much the same to me. Funny thing is that "EDDIE" usually serves the gringos...a young kid maybe 19 or so. Point being that the girl you are speaking of is his girlfriend....Ironic huh? I asked him if I could have her and how much and he said she did not do SEXO! Later I learned from another girl that she would, all be it for a bit more but you basically had to arrange it directly with her for EDDIE would have none of it. Feel free to email me for I would love to discuss details of you trip in more depth...By the way, I am planning a return in Feb if u are interested!

Zerped,
I was there 3 weeks ago and I saw 2 guys pull down their pants and the gal fucked both of them. No rubber, there were 4 Mexicans at the table and it costed 10 pesos or $1.10 to get laid with a 18 years old beauty!
I posted about it a couple of weeks ago too.
I don't know why anybody pays for sex in Mazatlan! Just go to El Toro Bravo, Heradurra, or Valintinos. 99% guaranteed you'll get laid all night long by a horny 18 years old! That's why I laugh at guys paying for gals in the Tropical or Miami. Most of the gals are from Culican or Mazatlan.
Did you go to the Dragon Rojo?
Westfargo...
By Zerped on Wednesday, October 31, 2001 - 04:50 pm: Edit |
Westfargo--
Yeah, Striking Viking and I checked out the Red Dragon, and they were just getting started when we went in. The five girls I saw varied from plain to pretty, but SV (who was inconsciously acting as my monger mentor for the evening) decided we'd get better sex at Caballito's. Next visit I make, however, I'll spend some time there (if it's still open. The locals were saying that it's having a hard time financially). Griff mentioned a club called Taranda's, but not many people in town seemed to know of it (or maybe weren't getting a cut for sending business there).
I went to El Toro Bravo on a Saturday night and couldn't get so much as eye contact with any chicas there (who mostly seemed to be there with dates). I definitely wasn't going to the right places on the right nights. I got invited to a party by an American girl living there and her Mexican roommate, but I was busy with food poisoning that night.
I figure on revisiting Mazatlan next in April, and I'll be sure to get more info from you before I go. Thanks.
By Cabazo on Thursday, November 01, 2001 - 11:11 am: Edit |
SO how about it? Everybody is talking about Massage Parlors, but where are they? I LIVE here and have never heard of any. Were you guys in the right town?
By the way, Caballitos (note: correct spelling, ignore other variations above) is not in the Zona Rosa (which is in Mexico) not the Zona Dorada, nor any recognized zone except the Danger Zone. Don't even walk in that neighborhood.
By Cabazo on Thursday, November 01, 2001 - 11:14 am: Edit |
Why would anybody who has a 99% success rate getting fucked all night long by horny eighteen year olds go to dumps like the Dracon and Caballitos??????????
Are we seeing some fantasy elements here? Or are you a coke dealer :-)

Compared to many other Mexican cities the Mazatlan airport is a good distance out of town. Does anyone know what the van shuttles are charging these days for transportation to and from the airport?
By Explorer8939 on Friday, November 02, 2001 - 10:14 am: Edit |
Cabazo:
These are questions you should ask WF the next time you hook up with him in TJ.
By Cabazo on Saturday, November 03, 2001 - 05:50 am: Edit |
Explorer,
Not something I´m particularly looking forward to.
Since I just came in from the airport the other day, I feel silly not remembering the exact figure for the collective bus/shuttles, but it seems to me it was around $40 pesos. Nonetheless, many pile into taxis and pay $200 to get into town. Go figure. Getting TO the airport without paying $200 is a good trick with no fixed answer. At least its not as bad as Los Cabos.
By the way, I´ve seen the San Diego Motel mentioned here, and can't imagine a lamer place to hang out. It´s NOT on the beach, noisy and ugly, and more expensive than the dozens of nicer, cheaper hotels along the Malecon...not to mention the cheapy Playa Norte places under $12 USD. Furthermore, it´s out by the Golden Zone, a tourist trap with nothing going on (at least nothing much of interest to fellow pervs on this site). Hell, the Mexico is like $10, right across from Tarrandas, and you can bring girls home with you.
There are places like Suites Fuentes on the Malecon--right across from the beach--where you can get a suite with cooking for the same price as the San Diego.
Happy ho-hoppin

GRIFF! Anyone else going to Mazatlan before mid-March! I'll be making a return trip 3/18-3/25 and would appreciate any update/heads-up on what's available there. Thanks.

Zerped, I have been debating it lately, yet I have been concentrating my efforts on exploring the border. I am thinking about a trip in May myself. If you go please fill me in on any developments. Good luck!

Brief report on action in Maz. Went to Sky massage in the afteroon as it closes at 9pm,Located near the lighthouse up on a hill.Place is very clean and some of the rooms even have ocean views. Lineup was very good more than a few hotties. Chose Wendy one of the hotter ones.Got a nice massage, bbbj and great passionate sex for $60 plus $30 for the massage. Went to both of the main strip clubs Ramses and Botana. Both places had good lineups but watch the waiters at Ramses as they tried to rip us off several times with their stupid games of switching bills or forgeting your change. The private rooms at Ramses were just like Nogales, the chair in a tiny room,got a rushed full service from one of the strippers for $20 plus $60, they all ask for 1000 pesos plus $20. Agreed to meet another cute 20 yr old light skinned school girl looking dancer at Ramses from Guadalahara to come back to my hotel for $100 after she got off at 4:30. Performance was ok nothing special. Went to the 3 main casa de citas and grabbed a nice 90 lb 21 yr old negrita back to my hotel for $60 for 2 hours plus. Performance was excellent with bbbj and great passionate sex, I think her name was Martha. All 3 houses are close to each other, I think casa de chayo had the best but not sure, its easy to cab it to all 3 to inspect the lineups. Navagantes is a normal looking bar but all the women are available for $50-100, but talent is limited. Many hot cute young locals at bora bora and valentinos but didn't have much time to spend there.

When I was in Mazatlan a couple of years ago, the standard rate for sex (not in the strip clubs, but everywhere else) was $40 or 400 pesos.
Are prices up, or are you just generous?
By Inspector on Wednesday, February 06, 2002 - 11:32 am: Edit |
the standard price was $40 to go to their rooms or motel down the street from the houses , $60 to go back to your hotel of choice.
By Zerped on Sunday, February 10, 2002 - 09:57 pm: Edit |
Inspector,
Thanks for the info. My first visit to Mazatlan, I didn't catch Ramses or Las Botanas, so I appreciated word on them. Did you notice/hear if Caballito's and/or Taranda's is still in business? Griff was in Taranda's last Sept., but when I visited, everybody acted like the place didn't exist. Thanks for the word on the three houses; didn't try any of them last time, but on my return trip in three weeks, I definitely want to sample there. Any other "heads up" or FYI I should know about? Thanks.

Caballito's is still in effect! Not the nicest strip joint, but plenty of dancers. Zulema was extrmely hot, eventhought I am not into all the tatoos. Great thick ass body, nice dance for 4 bucks, fingers and all.
By Inspector on Monday, February 11, 2002 - 01:34 pm: Edit |
Zerped,
Never made it to Caballitos or Tarandas,but my friends went and said it was fun, but do not know you can get girls to leave with you. Highly recomend sky massage, good lineup and some real performers.Some strippers at Ramses & Botanas are cool but most are all business.Like most strip clubs money can disapear quick with limited return. Lineups at casas de citas are hit or miss, usually a few hotties between all of them at any given time

I was gonna purchase a membership and support the efforts of Club Hombre but theres been no reply to my question above. I'll be in Mazatlan via cruise ship next Thursday. Can anybody give me some suggestions?
By Curious on Sunday, March 10, 2002 - 11:10 am: Edit |
Most of my time in Mazatlan was occupied by one chica, but I have heard good things about Sky Massage. Any taxi driver should be able to take you there. Cost was around $100 for everything - including the house fee. A friend was very impressed by the selection there.
That is about the extent of my day time knowledge.
If you want to take the wife out for an elegant dinner, try Angelo's at the Pueblo Bonito. Absolutely one of the top five places I have ever eaten anywhere in the world. About $25 & up per person.
By Porker on Sunday, March 10, 2002 - 04:03 pm: Edit |
Danny, don't take it personally. We get paid by the word and don't take credit. Please don't hesitate to report your results to help all the other clueless tourists who can't spend less than $40 to get a cabbie who can get you laid in Mexico. I praise your adventuring spirit!
By Hombre on Sunday, March 10, 2002 - 04:21 pm: Edit |
Hundreds of messages are posted to ClubHombre daily, so sometimes questions slip by the eyes of those that know the answers.
One recommendation is to pose this type of question to Mexico Chat in addition to posting it here. If the information is useful, you should then post it here as well when you get back.
I'll forward a message to a few others that I think have info on Mazatlan.
By Curious on Sunday, March 10, 2002 - 06:15 pm: Edit |
Porker:
Sometimes we pay to increase our comfort level, or because for "other reasons" we are playing the tourist role (like, the wife and kiddies are with us and so we are staying at a nice resort).
The taxi's at such resorts are almost always going to be "rip offs" by normal Mexican standards.
My first trip to PVR is a classic example. I paid up front, as part of the tour "package" for all ground transportation to and from the airport. It was $22 per person, so I paid $44 (me, and my chica, who was going to fly in from another city in Mexico).
What that got me was a (sort of) English speaking guy to meet me at the airport with a sign with my name on it. He was kinda surprised when I handed him my bag and kept walking right on by him to the cute chica standing next to him!
He gave me a piece of paper with contact names and phone numbers, and told me to talk to this one guy at the hotel to arrange our return transportation when we were headed home.
Then, he went and talked to the taxi drivers, negotiated a deal, and stuffed us into a collectivo - one of those VW mini buses with about 10 other people!!! It took over an hour to get to our hotel - the LAST one he stopped at, of course.
Now, you know my size - and neither I nor the driver were happy about this. Like an idiot tourist I went along with it.
I never did talk to the contact about the return trip - I just hired a taxi to take us to town, wait while we did some last minute shopping, wait while we ate lunch, and then take us to the airport. That was about $15 if I recall correctly.
Never again will I pay that up front fee for ground transportation in Mexico. But that is partly because NOW I am much more comfortable with Mexico in general.
In Mazatlan, we were staying at a very nice resort. Our first taxi to town was $12. The second time my chica friend said "Let's walk". We walked all of 1/4 block, to where she had noticed some taxi's hanging out. THAT taxi ride - the same distance as the first one, less only the 1/4 block walk - cost me $3.
Now Porker, I know YOU would have just walked it all. But not me, and especially not when I had a chica with me.
But never will I take a taxi from Adelitas to the Hong Kong Bar, like someone I know did once!
By Porker on Sunday, March 10, 2002 - 07:22 pm: Edit |
But, to stick to the situation at hand, would you come on an internet site and bitch about how lame I WAS because I hadn't told you how not to act clueless before you went?
If you read my report about my first trip to Monterrey you'd hear all about how I walked around for an hour and a half trying to 'sniff out' whorehouses because I was too much of a pussy to pay 5-20 extra bucks for a taxi. Of course that was the fault of all the mongers that went before me in Monterrey and didn't adequately esplain the way the game worked there...
By Danordanny on Wednesday, March 13, 2002 - 09:54 am: Edit |
OK, Heres my plan, I researched and found out where to walk to get a Cab. Per your posts I'll be visiting Sky Massage. Any suggestions what is a resonable price for a Cab for 2 hours and a good time at Sky Massage? I do like adventure and part of the excitment is finding the best bang for the buck. If any of you guys get to Phoenix, I'll be glad to help ya out.. Any other suggestions for my short morning visit? I'll be arriving via Cruise Ship Thursday March 21

AS OF A MONTH AGO...
My second visit to Mazatlan was about a month ago, and not many changes to report since the first time in October, but in interest of other mongers, here's some newer info than what's currently posted.
According to everyone I talked to, the only clubs still active are Caballito's, Taranda's, Las Botanas and Ramses. Since my two experiences at Caballito's in October had been pleasant, it was the first of the three I visited: NEVER again. I felt like somebody had tattooed the equivalent in espanol of "Patsy" on my forehead and added a "Kick Me" sign on my back for good measure. The charisma-challenged "Eddy" was still ringmaster there, but the waiter I had began trying to scam money on change for drinks right away. Didn't see any of the chicas from October that I had hoped to encounter and two of the three chicas I got lap dances from were running some kind of scam as well (i.e.-they arrived at the table with a minute or two of the current song playing, did a dance for one song, then tried to charge for two dances). When I chose one and went in for privado, the blowjob was not unpleasant, but certainly the least enthusiastic I've ever experienced (and considering my ex-wife into the equation, that's saying a LOT).
On the way back to the hotel from Cab.'s, we passed Botana (Sat. night). There were several police cars and a troop carrier outside, with enough SWAT firepower streaming inside to put down a small revolution. I asked the driver, and he said that there was a big-time drug dealer inside and they were just busting him. The club was closed the next night (because of the bust or because it was Sunday?), but seemed open mid-week after that.
The visit to Ramses was much less expensive than the Cab.'s trip, but equally unsatisfying. The doorman gave me $20 change for my $50, and promised to give me my other ten on the way out, as he had no change. I suggested that since there were cash registers in the bar, and since they might possibly get other customers at some point in the evening, he should probably burn a calorie or two and walk over and get change. He just laughed and said, "Is OK, I remember." Inside were about five other customers (Sun. night). The dancers were good-looking, but not any better than at Cab.'s or Taranda's. After an unpleasant exchange with the waiter and the girls not looking any better than average, I paid heed to the bad vibe and left after one Coke.
The good news was that Taranda's was a delight. I stayed four nights at Hotel Lerma, so the club was a 2.5-block walk from my front door. The girl I described in my first posting from Cab.'s who looked like Beyonce Knowles of Destiny's Child was there: her name is Jessica, and her hair is straight now. Same "blowjob-over-the-shirt-tail" trick and so on. She was downstairs doing privados almost nonstop every evening I was there. There's a waiter there named Daniel you should hook up with. He's young (looks like the singer Chayanne) and eager to impress. He told me he could hook me up with full-service in privado for as little as $350. There was only one or two girls that I wouldn't have bothered with; the majority went from just plain cute to hot. My second night there, a dancer I'd met the night before named "Gretien" (?) came in on her night off (she'd talked to Daniel about me the night before and he told her I'd be back the next night).
We chatted and then went back to my hotel for an hour session that ran me $1000. Great personality, eager to please in bed, and looks like the actress Kate del Castillo; well worth the money in my book.
My one casa visit wasn't to Catas or Chayo's, but someplace that Jorge de la Pulmonia From Hell took me to my first night. The best I can say about the sex was that I got off and the chica stayed awake. My next visit I'll insist on one of the two best-known houses, and also sample Sky Massage, since it's gotten such glowing reports.
The only other monger info I can pass on is that at least on Friday and Saturday nights, Navegantes still offers some possibilities. It's the only bar of any kind anywhere I've visited where the waiter came up for my drink order, and when I gave it to him, asked (in Spanish) "You want a girl to go with that?" The chicas who weren't already with someone were almost all plain and stocky, except for one very tall, very sexy girl who kept turning down offers passed along to her by waiters.
In both trips, girls I've spoken to have said that Sunday is their night off, and they like to hang out at the bar at Hotel Playa Mazatlan and meet men there. Still haven't dropped by on a Sunday night to check it out, but would love to hear about it from some other poster.
In closing, a better trip than the first, but I'd like to experience something along the lines of GFE; mainly I'd like to hear of any stories guys have of picking up non-pros in bars. Thanks for the great help, and I hope this info is of some assistance.

Great posts by everyone... especially Griff and Zerped... Im planning a solo trip down to Mazatlan (5/20-5/26)... So let's see if I get this straight... go to Sky Massage during the days... Chayo's, Caballito's and Taranda's (is this place near town?) during the evening after 10pm. Finally, I keep picking up blurbs about how easy it is to pick up chicks at the clubs by WestFargo (i.e., Bora Bora, Valentino's and Jungle Juice) Can anyone elborate on any personal experience picking up nice young hotties and if there is any quid pro qou (something for something) involved. I have always been a fan of chase....
By Explorer8939 on Sunday, May 05, 2002 - 08:59 am: Edit |
To pick up young hotties in Central Mexico, its easy, just marry them. I think that WF married several dozen 16 year olds.
Note that if that plan doesn't work for you, then just do whatever you do to pick up young hotties in the USA.
By Captain on Sunday, May 05, 2002 - 12:13 pm: Edit |
I have had quite a bit of success at Bora Boras, it is next to Valitinos. Speaking of Valiteno, dress to impress there and be ready to compete with the local men for the ladies attention. Jungle Juice is a good bet for R&R or a bite to eat, never had much luck with the ladies there. I also have had very good luck at Aleluyas, and Erines Hot Tomatoe( he used to run Sr Frogs).

Actually, *I* was picked up by a local girl in Mazatlan some years ago. It never dawned on me that I was being picked up, things just sort of evolved to the point where she asked if I wanted to me her family in her village in the jungle. Since I was on the prowl at the time for American girls, I just wasn't interested in a relationship with a local, but I was kind of interested in seeing her village, so off we went. The trip took hours to cross the last 10 km of 'road' off the main drag. The village was really, really isolated, the cash crop was marijuana, and the road was littered with debris from planes that never made it off the ground due to overloading.
The meal served to me by the family (baked goat hearts) made me sick for several days, and I never hooked up with the chica again after we returned to Mazatlan (I did hook up with an American girl). If I had to do it again, I would have spent more time with the local.
By Toehead on Monday, May 06, 2002 - 09:37 pm: Edit |
I don't think WF was actually marrying the gals, that would mean a big wedding with half the town invited which he'd probably want to avoid. Most likely he was just buying them rings and saying they were engaged, then doing his best to knock
them up.
The village you visited sounds very similar to one I was recently staying at (minus the cash crop). I think many mongers would be surprised at the living conditions in which many of the chicas were raised. In some ways many of the ranchos haven't quite moved into the 20th century, never mind the 21st. Toilets consisting of holes in the ground, no doors or glass in the windows of the houses, maybe a single working telephone in the entire town, no paved roads, and there always seems to be at least one old lady who everyone swears is a witch (and 150 years old). I'm often surprised the rancheritas are able to acclimate as quickly as they do.
By Tl8 on Tuesday, May 21, 2002 - 01:50 pm: Edit |
Mazatlan general information of interest but since I was with my fav, I have no monger specific info.
MZT info - Taxis from airport to town are suppose to be at an official rate which is about $15 or $18 dollars. I took the Servicio Colectivo van which is $48.00 pesos. They charged me $6 dollars. The van holds about 7 and they drop you off at your destination such as a hotel. The air conditioning is a lot stronger near the front of the van. In the back of the van, you can hardly feel any air conditioning. I recommend the Colectivo. Just go outside the main terminal and they are parked right in front. There is a guy there that assigns you to a van, takes your money, and gives you a ticket. Get there before they run out of people. The van needs a minimum number of people before it will leave. This is usually no problem but it might be if you arrive during a time that you are the only plane with few passengers. The airport is approximately 30 minutes from the tourists hotels.
Taxi trip from my hotel back to the airport was $23 dollars. The taxi driver said it was higher than normal because of the exchange rate. I think the higher rate was partly because I asked the hotel to get my taxi. Which brings me to my next point.
Every place I went in Mazatlan they quoted pesos. And every place I went in Mazatlan they would accept dollars. Many places had a hard time trying to figure out what the dollar amount should be. They almost always settled on 8 pesos to the dollar. The official exchange at the time that I was there in May 2002 was 9.4 pesos to the dollars. You get a better deal if you use pesos for taxi, restaurants, bars, clubs, etc. You can always use dollars but you are in essence paying a convenience fee to use dollars instead of pesos.
Mazatlan makes their money from the tourist trade. High season is Dec through March including New Years and Easter when the weather is good. Next highest season is July through August for the summer vacation travlers. The lowest season is April through July and August through December. Summer months are hot and humid with rain. Mazatlan gets a lot of weekend travelers. Weekdays during off season can get slow.
A couple of web sites of interest. These hotels are right next to each other on the beach (playa) in the heart of the tourist area.
Hotel Playa and Hotel Los Sabalos.

For sure get your self a shit load of pesos as EVERYTHING is in pesos. Exchange place offer way better rates than mom & pop places. Whatever is left over you can use in TJ.

Will be in Maz town June 23rd - July 1st. I would be interested in current scouting reports, or buying drinks for someone I am overlapping with to get a current run down (Kuglera?).
Anyone arriving toward the end of my trip, let me know. I will trade beer for a rundown and update before I head back.

The bad news is I'm not going to get to make it to Peru or Buenos Aires or CTG or DR, or...this year.
The good news is that I'll be spending eight nights in MZT at the end of this month. It's been a year since Griff's trip, but I'm gonna try the phone number he gave for the GFE he had there; I'll update everyone on that as well. Any requests as far as scouting info/etc. goes? I'll probably spend a few nights at Taranda's, but I want to hit Navegante's on a Friday and see about scoring the one hot chica likely to be there. Will try Sky Massage perhaps. I'm also curious about other chicas suggested by cab drivers/etc. If I find a driver early on I "click" with (unlike last trip), I'll take him up on an offer to find a chica for me. anyone out there headed to MZT Sept. 25-Oct. 3?

Hey Zerped I am going to MZT for the first time in late Oct. or Nov. for a few days (good seafood/beach I hear,) so any advice on hotels and hobby places will be appreciated. On the old boards MZT was mentioned a lot but not as much anymore? I have only been to TJ and Nogie for the hobby. I look forward to hearing your report. Practice my espanol in MZT I am trying aprender. Then hopefully next spring hit the big leagues in Rio or BA.

Last words from a Club Hombre newbie: "Hey, I'm new here, and I plan to post a lot, but I'm going to Mazatlan in a few days, and I need some tips on where to go. I'll be sure to post a report when I return, thanks for your advice!"
and {pooooooooofff!!} we never see them again.

Just got back from my third MZT trip (I seem to be the exception to the "we never hear from them again" rule), and a full Trip Report is on its way. Here's the headlines on the stories we'll be covering tonight at 11:
--Caballito's has new owner, reportedly the place is run better now. Same guy opened another club, Hipocampo, in el centro. A fun, fiesty little locals-only place.
--four casas de cita in town; skip the two newer ones and insist on either Chayo's or Las Catas
--Navegantes still an interesting option (sit down, order girl, take girl home)
--Las Botana and Ramses still open/still ripoffs
--no one ever inside Club Navy or Navy Bar, but there appears to be a regular contingent of street chicas working the corner outside.
Full report coming soon. Stay tuned.

I am going to Mazatlan on the 29th of this month (November). Does anyone have a list of massage parlors and brothels you can post or send to me? I am not much for the club scene but love latina sex. My SO is staying home this time so .... Thanks for your help.

I recomend Sky Massage near the lighthouse,good lineup when I was there, but I do not think they stay open late. Cat houses seem to be hit or miss. Lineups are always changing,but they all are close to each other,and most taxi drivers know them all.
