CRUISING for SEX - View Single Post

Gentlemen, I wanted to bump this helpful thread to the top again, and provide some information I discovered while in Cuernavaca.

For gay bars, I found both the venerable La Casa del Dictador and the upstart Oxygen to be nice, better than average bars. Both are large, and Oxygen tended to attract more singles.

I asked the cab driver to take me to La Casa del Dictador and kept pronouncing it the common way in english, "Dick TAY tor" and didn't think I was ever going to find it. Finally one driver got it and happily pronounced it for me, "ahh...Dick ta DOR!"

But actually, I came to rely on the zocalo. I could just act like I was studying and before long, I was being cruised. Meet their eyes and smile.... (thank you Mavica.)

There is another small bar run by a couple of lesbians called "Barcito" and it is across from La India Bonita on a cross street. Very small, but worth a drink or light meal while you wait for someone to drop by...and they do.

I found the service at the Los Arcos to be abysmal and the food to be only passable. For food, try Casa Hidalgo next door. A little more expensive, but the menu is amazing and well worth it. I always got a balcony table and watched all the action below...by the time dinner was over, I had my targets set.

For cruising, I preferred the Universal, on the other side of the zocalo. A lot more foot traffic, and if you get a table next to the sidewalk you can make great eye-contact...worked for me.

Frankly I loved Cuernavaca. After a few days I had made friends with several locals...certainly more than I could handle and keep up with my studies! Oh well, guess I will have to go back for more lessons....
