MPs aren't what the used to be, although they still provide a massage and full service.

In the old days, girls could work in MPs without a health card.  So MPs had some local "girl next door" types who didn't want their family and friends to know about how they made a living.  You could often get a GFE from them.

That changed when chicas had to get health cards to work in MPs and strip clubs.  Today the girls are more "hard core."  They look down on bar girls because BGs do "things" they don't.  (Things like DFK, BBBJ, DATY, etc.)

Also, few MP girls know how to give a good massage.  (For that go to Viva Mex.)

That being said, there is still something enjoyable about having a girl run her hands all over you before sex.

Cheaters is a place that is "up or down."  The last time I was there it is up.  When the selection is "up" it's a favorite of mine.  Sadly they don't have beds.

There is a Mermaids in the Zona and a Mermaids on 8th Street.  Both have beds.  Both Mermaids and New Body are owned by the same guy, and the girls are rotated.  Often when you go to New Body they run girls up from Mermaids, so there's little reason to go there if you've already taken a look at Mermaids on 8th.

The typical price is $40.00 to the house for the room plus $100.00 to the chica for the session.  YMMV and "package deals" can be found.  

Never let a cab driver or barker take you to an MP.  They get a comission and you probably won't be able to get a deal.

Escorts don't cost that much more, but deliver a lot more.  Most escorts will also give a massage if asked.  IMHO these days you're better off seeing an escort than going to an MP.
