    Tijuana - Ensenada Scenic Highway - I was there & I saw JESUS on a hill!!!

    Tijuana - Ensenada Scenic Highway

    Throughout undergrad and grad school, I often took trips south of the border. My most common…read moredestination in baja back then was Ensenada, which sits about an hour's drive from the US/Mexico border. That drive gave me two options: the toll road ("cuota") or the toll-free road ("libre"). I always opted for the toll road, as it is heavily patrolled by law-enforcement, and the commute time is considerably less than the toll-free road. There are three toll booths between Tijuana and Ensenada, which runs you about three dollars and change per booth. Traffic has never been an issue for me on this road, and neither has anything else. The scenery along this route is beautiful! The road hugs the cliffs along the coast of Baja California Norte. If you are a fan of winding roads, a-la-PCH-in-NorCal, then you will like this stretch of road as well! Rosarito sits along this route, about 15 minutes south of Tijuana. There are also various gas stations and convenience stores along the way. I like their coffee, particularly the mochas from 7-Eleven. I also get a couple of bottles of water for my stay in Baja (do NOT drink the tap water!). This road is safe, day and night. There is often a military check point, but the personnel are pleasant people. The police are no issue either, I've only been questioned once by them. I was riding alone in a beamer in the middle of the night... Don't let the news scare you, Baja is actually a safe place to visit as long as you don't look for trouble and mind your own business. And if Ensenada or Rosarito is your destination, then take this fine stretch of road there.

    Review 29 The scenic…read moreHighway to Ensenada is one of my favorites, it's beauty resembles the Big Sur to Cambria stretch of Highway. Rollinghills and quick back to back turns makes you wish you were driving a sports car. (Video) The current speed limit is 70 mph, in my opinion the highway is not designed for this speed. There's areas you could exceed 100 mph but the danger is the uneven road. That being said if you do have the opportunity to drive this highway use your better judgment, your experience and know your vehicle capability. This is a toll road with two pay booths per direction, The current toll is $2.10 per booth North and south. Mexican pesos or US dollars only, no credit cards. On weekends expect 3 to 4 sobriety checkpoints, all week you can expect a bunch of drivers that think they have nine lives. I suggest you drive this highway during the day unless you're extremely comfortable driving at night with zero street lights. Have fun responsible, peace out! (excuse the miss spells and grammar errors, talking to my phone as I'm driving) Plan B.

    I see there is no review, and I wanted to write something to help people who need to re-new or…read moreextend their US Visa in Tijuana. First, you need to go for fingerprint. Do not take nothing with you, no bags, no phone, no makeup, no usb, nothing. If you have someone who can keep an eye on your things before you stand in line, better. If not, there is a guy over there who work at the parking next to the fingerprint location. He will keep your things until you exit. This is the guy's job, so I think it is safe. Otherwise, go to your hotel, leave the things and only take to the fingerprints money, the hotel card and the documentation you will need. Then, you have the interview at the Consulate. Also there you are not allowed to enter anything. They made me throw a little something I use to gather my hair. You will wait there for at least 3 hours, I recommend you to have breakfast before. If your appointment is at 10am, you can go before, even 9am will be fine. You will be ask to go through security, then to wait until they call you number to give your paper to someone. Then, you wait in line for fingerprint identification and then, you sit down and someone will call you for a short interview. We were lucky and our visa was delivered the next day, but I can not asure that it is the same for everyone. All the people who I first saw at the finger print I saw the day I picked up my Visa; what makes me thing that perhaps if you are not from Tijauan/Mexico, your Visa is ready right away. If they told you to pick your passport up at 3.00pm, do not try to come before time because they open at 3.00pm, sharp! Besides the regular things your lawyer told you to bring, I recommend you to take with you any documentation you think that might help: marriage certificate, bills, student card, a letter from you employer, last tax paid, driver's license. From there you can return to San Diego through Otay, it is muuuuuuch better than San Ysidro. A taxi from the consulate to the Garita can cost 100 pesos - 10 minutes drive. The same Taxi that took you to the consulate, can wait for you and take you to the Garita Otay. We slept at the Camino Real and was great. Next to the hotel there is a Mall (like UTC), where you can eat, have a coffee at Starbucks and even watch a movie for 4 dollars. We eat a lot and veeeery tasty!!! One place I recommend is Cabanna! I gave 3 starts to the process because it is annoying but very well organized by the personnel out there.

    Bad experience, I need information about immigration for my parents. I called number but then…read moresomeone keeps hanging on. Bad customer customer service. I work at a call center we can not hang up on a customer. We provide services so customers expect a lot from us. This is the worst experience. I you are going to hang up 4 times and. Not answer the phone I believe you should get fired.

    I just got back from TJ tonight and I am SO MAD I got HARASSED and ROBBED by the TJ police!!! Ive…read morebeen going to TJ for 20 years lots of fun never had this happen maybe Im just lucky!!! I was coming back from the bars (HK) I did NOT drink or do any drugs, the taxi dropped me off at the drop off at the San Ysidro entrance, as I was walking along the walkway 2 TJ officers stopped me and started harassing me asking questions, going through my pockets and they found a viagra pill which they said was illegal. I was going to tell them efff offfff but I had to be cool. They told me they would take me to the station if I didnt pay them $200, I was FURIOUS but I had to be cool not make a scene!! I had to pay them then they let me go. I was red with anger as I walked through the US entrance and told the US agents what happened!! If anyone knows how to report this to the TJ police dept and US consulate let me know!!!

    COP OR THUGS? IF YOU SEE A SLIM COP WITH BRACES THATA EXACTLY WHO IM TALKING ABOUT. KARMA WILL GET…read moreYOU!!!! I accidentally ended up in the wrong lane while trying to return to the U.S. from Mexico. The GPS directed me that way, and although the lane said "Medical" in Spanish, it also said "USA," so I assumed it was the correct way. A couple of other cars made the same mistake and entered that lane with me. The cops immediately started screaming at us & made us back out of the lane. They stopped and immediately started asking for my ID, registration, and other documents. I explained that it was an honest mistake and that I was just trying to get home. Despite this, they gave us a long lecture and then threatened to impound my car and said I'd have to pay a large fine. Then things escalated -- they demanded we open all of our bags and show them how much cash we had. After that, they started saying it wasn't enough. They proceeded to search our entire car, including the trunk, without giving us any reason or asking for consent. A man nearby -- a Spanish-speaking local -- began yelling at the officers, telling them to leave us alone and saying they had no legal right to search us. He seemed to know what was going on and called them out on it. After that confrontation, the officers' demeanor changed. They suddenly told us to follow them back into Mexico. We had no choice but to comply. Once we were out of the way, they pulled us over again, TOOK ALL OUR CASH, returned my ID, and told us to get back in the proper line to cross the border. US CITIZENS NEED TO STOP GOING TO MEXICO AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE ECONOMY!!!! We go to get away for a small vaca & look what happens to us, cops are corrupted. You can't even enjoy your time because people are BEGGING for money, 6yr old children & up are working/talking to strangers for money, people are carrying puppies & holding them up to your window for sale while you're waiting in the boarder line.

    To return to the United States this port needs to improve their station because there are 20 lanes…read more It should be US citizens in one line to exit and foreigners in another line same as when you enter. Amazing how patient, children, babies, pets and adults are to wait 3+ hours to exit Tijuana into the United States. The line snaked into four lines. You'll see children selling woven flowers, mothers with infants walking up and down the lines selling snacks. There was a churro man going back and forth. Also blind or others saying chiclets, selling gum. Many people in line bought cold refreshments like popsicles, ice cream or granita looking cold treats. Happy to be back in the United States.

    If you're crossing at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, here's the deal…read more 1.) When traffic gets crazy and the cops block off random streets, your GPS will absolutely lose its mind. Stop listening to it. Just find the end of the line of cars and get in. Otherwise you'll spend half your day doing scenic laps around Tijuana because your app thinks it's smarter than reality. 2.) Make sure you have gas before getting into this line. 3.) Download some shows or movies ahead of time. The wait can drag, and cell service isn't exactly reliable out there. 4.) Bring a little cash too, there are vendors walking around selling snacks and drinks. 5.) Just.....be mindful of your stomach. This is not the place to realize you made questionable food choices. Bathrooms are basically a rumor. 6.) Also, a big one: please don't buy the puppies. They're adorable, yes, but buying them keeps a really ugly breeding situation going, and the conditions the parent dogs are kept in are anyone's guess. You might feel like you're "saving" a puppy by buying it, but as long as people keep purchasing them, these breeders will keep producing dogs in grim, often inhumane conditions. If we collectively stop buying from them, the cycle finally breaks. We saw some really young puppies :( look too young to be separated from mom. Puppies being sold at the border are often far too young to be separated from their mothers. Responsible breeders and veterinarians agree that puppies should stay with their mom and littermates until at least 8 weeks old. Taking them earlier can cause lifelong health and behavior problems. When you buy an underage puppy, you're supporting practices that put the animals at risk. Please choose not to purchase these puppies. The wait itself isn't that bad if you've got some good music or something downloaded to watch. As long as you go in prepared, you'll be fine. Our wait was only 2.5 hours on a Sunday, we arrived in line at 4pm
