Trip to Boca Chica weekend of the 18th

[rafael]

I just stayed at El Caucho for 3 days and really enjoyed it. The owners are all very cool and make sure their guests are happy. I ate at their Italian restaurant all 3 nights and I am a very picky eater.

I will definitely be staying there when in Boca Chica.

Just back myself on friday (still promising a full trip report). There is basicaly no nightlife on duarte anymore (there is a new disco about a block or two west from the "central park" that i can imagine would be any straight guy going there to chica chase dream (hee hee..not my thing...but YOU might like it). THere are still pleanty of girls to meet...but they are no longer on duarte (except for at isla bonita).

I statyed at costalunga this past visit (i prefer el candil..but they were sold out). If you guys are on the roudier side...then i would recommend costalunga over candil. Candil prefers their guests to be a bit low keyed (something i prefer).

WEll...like i said..i plan on writting full report (hopefully tonight) and posting it either tonight or tomorrow.

BUt if you are looking for the wild party scene of calle duarte of the past....it AINT there no more.

Ok...gotta run an errand here...and HOPEFULLY i will be able to write my trip report undisturbed tonight :-) hopefully you will find some helpful info there when i post it.

jrzyguy,

Do they still block Duarte off to traffic in the evenings if there is no nightlife going on?

Also, do you know if Darpathan Restaurante is still open? It’s German, I think, on Duarte next door to the entrance to Isla Bonita. I was befriended by a couple of ladies who worked there and I’d hate to think the situation in BC has damaged their livelihood.

very quickly here.....before i run to work.....yes the street is still blocked off at night....a couple of restaurants still put some tables and chairs out at night....and yes...the german restaurant is still open...and for some reason the girls at isla bonita are still able to strut their stuff. (i guess prostitution is OK if one wears a skimpy sailors suit lol). Like is said....there is still pleanty of action for ya'll "chica chasers"....but it has moved away from calle duarte....

(sigh)...i really missed the old duarte. There is basicaly NO nightlife at ALL left in BC....and i spent most nights hanging out at the hotel :-(

jrzyguy,

Thanks for the update. I'll look forward to your trip report. It's sad (for some, at least) to think of BC being so subdued.
