I always loved passing through this alley when I lived in Tijuana and went back to visit this…read moreweekend. I ADORE that small creators and artists are able to set up, sell and showcase their creations, hobbies and interests at any given day. Went on a Monday but still saw stands where they sold cookies in forms of iconic characters (Hello Kitty, Anime, etc), stickers (3 for $10 pesos (=0.50 USD cents, what a deal!), books, wood carvings, musicians, gems, art, etc, etc. It's a nice little display of a taste of the cultural heart Tijuana holds. Also saw these Hello Kitty ponchos and thought they were the cutest things!!! I love that this area is still open and thriving for all after all these years.

The street is full of bars, karaoke spots, grub, etc. This is not what you're used to on Avenida Revolucion (if you went clubbing 10+ years back). Tasca and Shot Factory are the must visit spots if you're looking to have a good time with a good mixture of both locals and people visiting from the states. Sip on some mezcals while you're at it! Catch an Uber from the border and save yourself the hassle of having to haggle with the cab drivers!
