Nuevo Laredo

[InHouston]

Anybody go to "Gusano Bar" in Nuevo Laredo Mexico? I went there about 3 months ago and was treated like a slab of meat. Everywhere I walked, shemales were pulling on my arms like I was the bitch! There were some very attractive shemales there the night I went.

It felt good being treated like this I might add...I am an average fat ass old fart, so the attention did me good. I know they were after me for a money, but so what.

I did not date anyone from the club that night, but I did buy some beers and got a couple of cuties to hang out with me until I went home.

This bar is a gay bar located at the corner of Matamoros and Dr. Mier in downtown NL. The bar is about four blocks from the international bridge.

Does anyone know of any other gay bars in NL?

I've been to Boy's Town in Nuevo Laredo, and it's chock full of some TS's in various bars in the complex. However, given the drug wars that's going on there, I can't believe you actually went there. I wouldn't dare go down right now because they're kidnapping Americans.

Avoid Nuevo Laredo and live!!

You are an asshole, and a dumb fuck. How can you say anything if you never been to NL?

One thing for sure, you are a coward. How can you down an entire peoples for the actions of a very few? Is it race motivated, or is it your total lack of any intelligence?

Go to badcop.com and you will see our cops are just as bad as any other cops. Bitch.

Then go to globalincidentmap.com and see where all of the incidents are. Then open your fat trap.

Thanks "Sactojoey" for calling me a dumbass.

Anyway, as one member put, it is "just as dangerous in parts of Chicago".

I have been going to NL for several years and had no problem, with the natives, nor with the cops.

If you go to a website called badcop.com, you will see that our cops are just as bad as the mexican cops are supposed to be.

If you don't respect the culture, then you are in for a beatdown. You have to forget about the rights that you have in the usa and open your mind to another culture that may just be as good as our in the usa. This culture may have even more rights.

How do guys feel knowing that mainstream america thinks we are all "dumbasses" for even being on this site? Judge not, lest you be judged.

As far as being the target of kidnappers, please, the mexican people are just as smart as you and I, they don't want to go to jail anymore than we do. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, just as in the usa.

It is time we as americans stop promoting this perpetual discrimination against the mexican people. One day the shoe will be on the other foot and we may be considered a third world country.

Regarding our cops being as bad as Mexican cops: You are a dumbass if you think that's true.

Regarding going to NL and nothing happened to you: You only get one chance to be dead.

When something happens to you, you'll have no one to blame but yourself, regardless of how "culturally sensitive" you are.

If you don't put any value on your own life, I sure as hell won't.

Preach-on internet tough guy!

Is it that bad there? I've actually never been to any part of Mexico, but was thinkin about seein a friend of mine in San Diego and maybe goin to Tijuana.

Is that place worse or better than TJ?

I am from San Diego and have been to TJ many times. It's not scary, just don't do anything to bring attention to yourself. There are so many Americans there it's almost like an extension of San Diego.

Nuevo Laredo is awful. There are NOT parts of Chicago this bad. I guarantee that. I, too, did some business there and the company had 4 armed guards/employees escorting me. It's truly fucked up.

[SouthoftheBorder]

Is there anybody with a positive opinion about NL?

OK Enough of all this anti-mexican, etc. crap! This is the behavior why people out side the US don't realy like most of you guys. Sorry.

As living in the border I can say that yes NL is not the safest place. Me as mexican would not adventure to ANY red zone bar as a turist. I lived six years in Matamoros and 6 now in Juarez and really it took me some time to get the guts to get into the red zone.

Stewmeat, Think it twice. The people that MAINLY has issues in NL are drug dealers or as some one said look like thay have a platinum card in their forehead.

In the other border town is mainly the guys that you can tell they have money. Unfortunattly you as a US, everybody assumes you have tons of dollars.

So yes. It is risky. However I felt unconfortable also going to a club in downtown Boston.

With the exception that those fine Latinas are available at a much more reasonable price.

TJ is great :P

[BlackAdder]

Not that im in the know so to speak, but i did see a news piece warning american travelers to avoid NL as there was quite a bit of kidnapping going on and that several americans had been disappeared..

And if i heard it as much as i avoid the news well.....

[rabidroyboy]

So now that we have concluded that Nuevo Laredo is slightly dangerous for us gringos and that TJ is safe, can someone go more into depth about the TJ scene?

If you go to TJ, do you drive through the border crossing? Or do you park in San Diego, walk through the border, and then take a cab?

What is the best clubs or place to to go in TJ? Do you stay the night there or go back to the US?

[JT310]

I go to TJ all the time..I park at the border, and take a cab inside mexico. You can find men with boobs at many of the strip clubs. They are mixed in with the women. They are quite sneaky. They don't tell you they are men.
All the cab drivers know where to go. But beware, sometimes the cab drivers will try to take you to the spots deep in town where the locals go. I would strongly advise against going to these places. Stay around the main strip on Revolution.

I might add that the club I went to is only four or so blocks from the international bridge. Smack dab in the middle of downtown. Well within walking distance.

Gusano's is frequented by american tourists as it is so close to the bridge. I go there because it is close to my home city of Somerset Tx.

TJ is too far from me to travel in a weekend.

The redzone in NL,i e., boystown, is approximately three miles southwest of downtown and is in no way related to any of the downtown activites.

I can assure anyone that it is very safe as the cops and the federales patrol in force to protect the tourism and many tourists from the usa that frequent the downtown area.

I did not mean to start a war here, only to provide some very useful information concerning some very sexy shemales. I might add very sexy shemales...

For any interested Texas parties, take i-35 from SA and travel south to Laredo. Cross bridge #1 or two on foot after paying your $3.00 and have fun.

I usually drive across and park in the downtown area, but on holidays, it is better to walk across as the traffic is heinous trying to get back into the US.

To return to the US, you will have to pay $2.25, or about 25 peosos.

Beer is cheap, and no one will kidnap you with thousands of people walking around on the street.
