Visited Tijuana for 5 days. Solid experience. Scene is active. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $101/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 8.5/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.
Avoid Zona Norte? Or is it fine?

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has stayed consistent recently.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.
