Overview:
Since establishing the first Latino government independent from Mexico way back in 1813, Mexicans and Mexican-Americans have brought many great things to the home of the free: Cesar Chavez, Carlos Santana, Linda Ronstadt, Lee Trevino and Linda Carter a.k.a. Wonder Woman are just a few of these revered people. Linda Ronstadt may have been blazing hot back in the day, but now there's a new breed of super smoking Latina ladies causing heartburn and insta-erections around the world. Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Laura Harring and Eva Longoria have certainly made a strong impression, but if you live in Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix or San Antonio you know that there are thousands - no, millions - of jaw-droppingly hot Latina chicks working at Ralph's, Subway or your local Video Hut. If only there was a website that showed girls like these getting their gear off for you! Oh wait, there is.

La Zona Modelos (translated to English: The Model Zone) is one of many Latina sites currently entertaining fans of beautiful and exotic women everywhere. Populated by a bunch of foxy amateur girls, LZM (as I'll call it from now on) offers up a pretty hefty selection of photos and videos featuring these young ladies getting all nude 'n' nasty for your prurient entertainment. With more than 70 of the internet's hottest young South American gals, you'll be glad you stopped by.

Once logged in, users will immediately note the fun and flirty web design, a good indication of what's held within the site. The emphasis here is on good times with gorgeous girls and that sounds like a pretty pleasant way to spend a few hours, if you ask me. You can find the site's various videos by browsing the collection sorted by update or model. The model index is always a good start, as you get to check out all the girls and see which one piques your interest the most. After clicking on your girl you'll be taken to her profile page, where a reasonably detailed stats & bio section awaits. Not surprisingly, the model's featured content is linked further down the page; first videos, then photo shoots.

Videos are presented in three formats: "HQ" WMV (720x480 resolution), "standard" WMV (320x240) and an iPod-ready MP4 (304x240). While these videos all look fairly good, they would certainly benefit from a higher resolution and increased bitrate. Unless you're throwing every clip you download onto a portable media device, I'd definitely stick with the HQ WMVs, which are the clearest and most vibrant of the bunch. There are, unfortunately, no streaming options available, so if you want to watch a video you'll have to download it. At the bottom of the video index pages you'll find a link to the "non nude video archive," which holds a little over 100 extra, tamer clips of similar technical standard.

The photographic portion of the site unfortunately doesn't have its own browsing area, but all the galleries can be reached via each model's profile page. The shoots feature images of a resolution around 800x1200 pixels, and there's usually around 75 shots per set. These are pretty typical softcore and masturbation photos and that can get a little boring for some people. On the other hand, there's a reason this style is so readily accepted as the norm: it's a great way to get a good look at a foxy young dame. Every gallery can be downloaded as a zip file, which is a great way to sort through them at your convenience, finding the best of the best.

All of the content found at LZM is pretty run-of-the-mill mid-quality solo girl and masturbation stuff. There are a few girl/girl scenes, but they're not particularly hot and heavy. What makes this site enjoyable is the abundance of beautiful young women; their pretty faces, hot bodies and fun personalities ensure they're girls you'd love to bang. Navigation around the site is, for the most part, very easy. The only real problem that is presented will only affect those wanting to check out all the sexy photo galleries. Said galleries can only be found by first making a selection from the model index. It'd make a lot of sense to give photos their own index, like the videos already have; it would definitely make it quite a bit easier for users to get where they're going that much faster.

Membership to LZM will run you $29.95 for the first month and $24.95 each month thereafter, which is probably a bit too steep for a site that's as lean (but enjoyable) as this one. There's no trial option either - that's a pain in the nalgas, for sure. Do you think you'll find the babes of La Zona Modelos hot enough to warrant the almost $30 price tag, or are you gonna try your luck cruising the streets of East LA? Perhaps the following short points will ease your troubled mind.

Pros:
- The girls featured online are incredibly hot little Latina babes. You won't find chicas this attractive on many other sites.

- The content is all original and exclusive, so don't worry about finding the same videos and photo sets on every other Latina porn site.

- Updates are made three times per week which include two new galleries and one video.

- The photos hit a nice resolution that's high enough without being massive.

Cons:
- Video updates are only added once a week. Boo!

- The video quality is good, but not good enough to show the hot models off as well as they should be. Resolutions over 900 pixels would be awesome.

- Photos aren't as easy to browse as the video content. This is the main flaw of any less-than-stellar navigation system.

- $30 is kinda steep for less than 200 videos.

- The scenes can get a little dull, with some girls only pulling up their shirt and rubbing their pussy through their panties.

Conclusion:
While there's definitely some work left to be done by La Zona Modelos' webmasters, these guys are off to a good start. The young women they've chosen to model for you are some of the fieriest and foxy South American girls I've ever seen - and dude, I live in East Hollywood! Once the webmasters upgrade their video quality, add content more frequently and rework their navigation system, caballos salvajes won't be able to keep me away.
