Trip Report (Newbie Edition-Long)

TLDR- TJ RedLight District treated me well during my first visit.

Wow! I just experienced my first time in the Zona recently and wanted to provide a recap of my experience for all my newbies in this group. This took place the first Saturday in August.

For years, I’ve heard of many TJ stories from my military uncles who said him and his buddies got topped off under the table at a speakeasy in the late 70/80’ to friends who live in the area recount recent stories from the past five years.

After my buddies planned a trip to SD, I knew it was my time to descend upon the Zona. Doing my research, I found out about this sub. For the past few months, I've been gathering information, insight and general research for my trip. Pro tip- using keyword searches does wonders.I’m a black, late 30’s year old tech professional who lives on the west coast.

The night comes (Saturday at midnight). My buddy and I break off from the group and take a Lyft to the border (quick 25 minutes). I carried $450 cash. I also came with $60 in 1’s and an extra $50 in my boot in case shit goes down. This is a quick 3 hour, smash and dash mission. No BS.

We were the only ones headed to the border and literally just walked past the Mexican security while they were on their phones. Got to the turnpike and hopped in a taxi straight to HK for $10. Quick 10 min ride to the Zona. Super exciting and kinda eerie, but anticipation was high.We got there and waited in a short line before going through a quick security checkpoint/metal detector and being charged a $6 entry fee. As soon as I pushed open that black velvet curtain, females were everywhere in all shapes and sizes. The place was huge and seemed like it was connected by these little hallways all around. 

My buddy and I just walked around slapping asses and grabbing titties as I got a lay of the land. I made my way through the VIP booth section and into a bigger room where there were several foam shows taking place and girls dancing on stage.

I spotted this young, gorgeous chica dancing with a few guys around her. Nice ass, plump tits and a rose/flower tattoo on her stomach, and wolf tattoo on her back and braid in her hair. She looked like Violet Myers and was exactly what I was looking for in my first TJ experience. I tipped her a few dollars while grabbing all over. She grabbed the back of my head and said you’re cute and a few other compliments. Said her name was Dora or Doce (not sure cause it was super loud) and she was 27 from Sonora. I started speaking Spanish, but she stopped me and said that she knows English. I wanted to continue checking out the club so I said I’d be back and she said you better come get me.I circled the club, and girls were approaching, grabbing and hustling. 

When I got back to where she was, she was counting out her tips and another girl started dancing.She saw me and we quickly grabbed a table and continued the conversation. Instantly, she jumped in my lap and straddled me. Since I'm used to the strip club rules in the US, it was tough getting over the fact that I could touch everywhere, but she guided me in several ways to help me get over that fear. I had an entire game plan I was trying to run, but your mind gets clouded when your spreading cheeks and got some big ole soft titties in your mouth and she's on your neck.I told her straight up (a few times), that if you treat me well, no scamming or funny business, I'll make sure to compensate you correctly. She told me that she was going to give me the VIP treatment..... I bought her a tequila and I got a beer and we agreed on 120 (including extras). She made sure that the masero gave me the correct change and warned me that they would get pushy but she’ll take care of them.She sat on my lap and gave me a lap dance, all on my neck and let me suck on them titties for a few songs. She blocked about 4 maseros and kept the vibe really nice and playful. After about 10 minutes one last masero tried to charge me for the lap dance, but I waved him off, pointed up and said arriba. She took my hand and started leading me to the back of the club as we continued to chat and flirt. We get to the back and the rob guy puts one on her. I tip him a dollar and we continue outside for a short walk on the street before entering cascades. Walked up a flight of stairs and she took care of getting the short term room and I paid 40 and waited 5 minutes.

We finally get to our room and we head to the right of the check in and head up a short spiral staircase to the room in front of us (218). It's hot as hell that night so she immediately starts a cold shower for us. We both met on the bed and she warmed me nice and good with some foreplay. After that, she laid back and spread her legs nice and open for me. She took it and was trying her best to make me nut fast. Super verbal, grabbing and pinching her tits. I stopped after a bit and told her that I wanted to savor the moment. She laughed and we took a quick break and hit her vape and chatted. Again, she kept the conversation really light and playful. There was a brief argument in the hallway outside that definitely killed the mood, but she spit on that thang, said “Don’t be nervous, just relax" pumped it back up and sucked it back to full strength in no time. That got me going and she rode me for a bit before I turned her around and hit it doggy to completion. She let me take pictures and videos with no face. Afterwards, she goes and gets a wet towel and helps me clean up. I gave her a tip for blocking the maseros, taking care of me and not scamming, great customer service and having that tight, fresh, clean box I needed for a proper welcome to the Zona.

We had a good 50 min and then chilled and talked for a bit. She did mention that there were more girls tonight than in the past. (400+). The cleaner guy was right outside when we exited and I tipped him $1. I walked her back and she was super flirty even afterwards. Even though I wanted to, I declined to trade social media with her. 

Once I got back in the club it was an absolute circus, and I saw about 10 more girls I would have gone upstairs with (baddies everywhere). I loved every minute of it.  I saw some naked chicks in a shower rinsing off money, guys were selling roses, snacks and candy, girls were working in packs to get dollars and the vibe  and energy was heightened. My buddy wanted a lap dance before we left so I posted up in the VIP room on a couch to cool off. A guy comes out of a door behind me with a dildo drill and 5 min later a girl emerges with a butt plug with a tail on it. Shit was wild!!

We wrap up and pay $12 trip to the border and waited in a small line before heading back to SD around 4 am.

It really hit me in the morning when I was contemplating going back to Zona before heading up to LA.

The Zona is a gift and a curse. Check yourself before you wreck yourself. 

I'll definitely be back and will make sure to explore some more around the area when I can plan a longer vacation.
