AGUA FRESCA
English, minimal even though it's steps away from the border. Just point, smile, shake head, and pay.
I love me some strawberry Agua Fresca. And for 20 pesos, heck yah! How exciting! Tastes good, felt special that it's from TJ. But, wait...

You may be in line crossing back to the US for unknown-amount of time, be careful what you take in right before. I repeat, be careful what you take in.
I thought it was a bright idea to get an Agua Fresca to quench the thirst while waiting in line to enter back into the US. The line was lengthy, the drink was very refreshing. But Little did I forget, TJ water isn't very stomach friendly. By the time I got back into the US, I had the major urgency to not just #1 but #2. Where did this urgency come from? I'm very cautious of my meals when in a foreign place and I make sure my breaks are frequent. Then It clicked... Agua Fresca is made with water, the stand was in TJ, truth be told TJ water gives you mud butt.
Just keep that in mind next time these food stands tempt your thirst. read more
