Been lurking for a year and finally would like to give back
Tried registering last year a few times but had issues due to my e-mail addy wrongfully being associated with spam
Would like to thank Roosh, Mixx, Scotian and the people who have posted about Monterrey, Guadalajara and the rest of Latin America who have been a big help to me (sorry those are the names that I remember)

MONTERREY, NUEVO LEON
Third largest city in Mexico
VERY Americanized (kind of annoying to see Chili's and Carl's Jr everywhere)
Population (2010)

• Metro4,080,329
___________________
I regret to have to start with this:
*VERY DANGEROUS
Zeta Cartel is warring with the Gulf Cartel so I'd suggest waiting til things cool down before visiting
Due to the narco's fucking up so much business, some of my info might be outdated due to more closures
Even in the "safe" area in the south, a traffic cop was capped in rush hour
Cops in centro have to wear masks so narco's cant I.D and kill them
This is where they hang bodies off bridges for morning traffic to see
As well, you probably heard about the casino fire in August where 50+ people were killed because protection money was not paid (apparently they did not even intend to kill, they just wanted to scare but the fire grew too quickly)
Its REALLY fucking sad because say, a club where the waiters deal coke gets shot up by rivals, the club closes, as might the surrounding clubs, and the effect trickles down to the poor parking lot attendants and taco vendors who now have no customers (as happened to El Infinito mentioned below)
I heard of a freaking weed dealer getting capped. For selling weed on the wrong turf. WTF.
Getting there
Quick flight from Houston
Continental sometimes gives better prices when you do a return trip from the same 1 city
AA is usually the cheapest for 1ways
VivaAerobus (similar to Southwest) flies to Houston, San Antonio, Miami, Orlando & Chicago for sometimes as low as $200ish R/T
If you're in Cancun to bang some airhead gringas, a side trip will cost you $100ish 1 way on Viva, or a bit more on Interjet
Bussing it from Houston, Austin, San Antonio is also doable BUT DO SO ONLY IN THE DAYTIME (due to stories about night bus hijackings)
____________
Where to Stay:
- IStay in Barrio Antiguo is pretty cheap (owned by Intercontinental who own Holiday Inn) - $40ish
But - the area may not be too safe at night sometimes.
In 2010 armed gang went into the Holiday Inn nearby and held up staff asking for a certain guests room info then kidnapped him. That was targeted, not some random tourist shit, but still, not something you wanna be in middle of
- The #1 rated hostel Monterocco just closed their doors due to narcos fucking with tourist traffic but you might be able to get them to open since the owner lives adjacent. He plans to sell it.
Located in a safer area but not really walkable to anything
- Valle hotels are safer, and more expensive
_______
Food
Skip this part if you want to cut to chase
My upbringing with Mexican food in the U.S and Canada was always Taco Bell, ground beef home made tacos, and heavy cheese & cream messy shit like enchiladas
FUCK that
Mexican food is amazing!
(I dont fuck with pork, if you do, you will be in fat boy paradise!)
- Arrachera tacos (skirt steak) AMAZING. Always go for Al Carbon (their version of charcol) when you get a chance vs the flat grill (My fave spot is Alfaro)
- Every Sunday you can smell the carbon all through the city as thats carne asada + family day
- Breakfast tacos! (everywhere on the streets). Why can't we have these north of the border? Picadillo, TInga, Barbacua, Eggs & sausage, Eggs & nopales (cactus), beans, etc. and CHEAP
- Hamberguesa al carbon (everywhere on the streets - basically BBQ burgers) Its standard to put a piece of ham on the burger with cheese, usually with mayo, mustard & guac
- H.E.B & Soriana (grocery stores) have tasty dishes in their deli's
- Chicken salad tostada's (so fucking fresh and tasty - never was a dish I would seek, but glad i found it)
- The tortilla chips and all salsas are made fresh daily here and fucking great
- Even the tuna salad I had, had some kick
- Cabrito (their famous regional dish) Basically a kid goat split and put on a spit. A bit pricey. Tried it once for like $15 a portion. Was underwhelmed. Tried it another time in a sandwich and enjoyed that much more
- El Pollo Loco is actually from Monterrey
- Lots of sushi there but I did not try because we're not close to water
- More Carl's Jr per capita than any American city I'm told.
- Can find Chili's, IHOP, BK, KFC, etc everywhere as well, 7-11 too (+ Starbucks, Walmart, etc)
____________
Step 1
GET A PHONE
You need one to game
Most girls I met are on Telcel, a few on Nextel.
Telcel is most common and they sometimes text you promos where if you buy minutes in the next 24 hours they'll double it. I tried once and didnt get double. Not sure if its my bad for not understanding the fine print?
Oxxo (7-11's big competitor) has phones for as low as $25ish on sale with a little credit included (on sale now for about $18ish!)
I have noticed that the girls can be flakey like Colombia but it's not anywhere as bad
____________
Daygame:
- Morellos (Outdoor shopping strip in Centro)
- Gallarias Mall
- Valle Oriente Mall
- Plaza Fiesta Mall
- Pallacio De Hierro (Highest End Mall in city)
- H.E.B (Texas/Mexican Grocery store with hot MILF customers and cute cashiers)
Same latin america day styles you read about here, not as easy as Colombia, but still doable
Nightgame
Barrio Antiguo (The old town club district):
- El Flow (Reggaeton, Hiphop) *was shot up a month after I was there
- Cafe Iguana (Legendary Rock Club) *was shot up a week after I was there and is closed but plans to reopen. The shooters came back and took the bodies a few minutes after. WTF
- Nexxus (Tribal, Reggaeton, etc)
- Next (Electronica, pop)
- San Pedro (Electronica)
+ went to other electronica and reggaeton clubs in the area - all within walking distance (sorry, cant remember all the names)
Outside Barrio Antiguo:
- Pepper Bar (High End Club)
- Dubai (High End Club)
- Privatt (High End Club)
- George (High End Club)
- Also went with this fiiine girl to a corny live music place where they did covers and was getting eyed by other girls. Didnt close so mad at myself for not trying to break away and grab #'s
Again, same latin america night styles you read about here - maybe less hard to penetrate groups of girls than in Colombia (in centro anyway, harder in the rich clubs)
The Fresa's in the high end clubs are extremely hard to game, unless you penetrate their social circle. Even then not easy.
White boy good looks will help as well I'm guessing as they dont seem to like "darkies" like me based on an inherent class/skin separation as found in The Phillippines, India, and of course all over South America)
_______
Strip Clubs
- Prestige (Surprisingly good buffet - expensive spot for drinks though)
- Amenesia (Most expensive strip club in city)
- El Infinito (Lower end, closed after shooting massacre in hood, plans to re-open soon)
________
All in all,
I have nothing really to brag about - did just ok over the course of a few months:
- Banged 3 strippers whom I befriended (1 had the biggest ass I've encountered, hardly any body fat, 1 was one of the finest girls I've been with all my life).
Passed on a few more whom I befriended because of their possessiveness
One I passed on because nicotine and her tongue ring and lack of hygiene produced a foul fucking odour
- 1 cutie who worked at a gym and had one of the nicest asses & stomachs I've ever encountered (nice change from girls with the infamous Mexi spare tire)
- almost considered wifing up a cute...I'd call her maybe a poor Fresa...but she was a basket case and drug addict so... eff that
- had other opps where I was being eye fucked - clubs, malls, starbucks, but did not pursue to laziness, or because I didnt think it was worth the effort and wanted something better. Maybe I pussied out as well a couple times, i dunno
_______
*The scare
Faulty condom issue as I finished with gym chick. Scared shitless because abortion is illegal here
Googled morning after pill and got pages on how the Gov. ruled against making it available in Mexico (Religion blah, blah) - YIKES
Luckily the pages were old and they are now sold everywhere and for cheaper than than in the U.S and Canada - $10ish over the counter

Hope my report helps someone
