    If you are driving, getting across the border to get home on the San Diego side can take up to 3…read morehours. It is a royal pain otherwise we would be there a lot. We used to, but all changed after 9/11. But once there, go to Avenida Revolucion Street. It is crowded as heck, but lots of fun. Now, your wallet is in your front pocket, your back pack is well sealed and no you don't want to buy junk from the street vendors. You never pay full price there, except at the eateries and there are some great ones--DO NOT drink the water. Have soda. There are some super places to eat there. I do eat the street tacos, my husband refuses because their hands are not super clean. I risk it and have never gotten sick. They have so many stores, but a lot of the bags are fake so be careful. They have some great fake bags, but if you think you are getting a Hermes bag for 5K you have lost your mind. The pharmacies are great. You can get your scripts filled there for less, much less, than the US and they have stuff you don't need a scrip for, but go to a real pharmacy there, not some dump or who knows what you will get. Don't be stupid. Don't get plastered and act like a stupid American. You may find yourself in jail. Follow the street signs. Everyone is super nice. The American tourist behavior I find appalling, and I am from the US. Don't just walk around off the main street at night. Do not go to the Red Light District. Just have fun and be nice. You will be treated so well and they love dollars, so don't bother to change currency. Have fun.

    Tourist spot in Tijuana Mexico…read more Tons of restaurants, bars, clubs and the famous Hong Kong strip club is literally with in walking distance from here, pharmacies, street vendors, the spot where you will see the Donkeys painted like zebras and photo ops I like stopping here to shop for souvenirs and walk down the Plaza Cecilia have a few drinks and then head on to our next adventure This is a must see when in Tijuana

    About 8 or 9 years ago was the first time that I got the SENTRI pass, (for those of you who don't…read moreknow what that is, it's essentially a fast-access card that allows you to cross the Mexico-US border in a significantly shorter amount of time. Instead of doing a couple of hours in line, you would only wait 20 minutes) However, four years ago this magic card expired,... and I was left with no other option but to wait in line anywhere from two to four hours in line. Oh the tragedy! Luckily, nowadays the line has been significantly shorter. Last time I crossed the border (this morning) there were no more than 5 cars ahead of me. My waiting time was less than 30 minutes. They opened up all lanes, they doubled in border patrol agents, and they're overall more effective and efficient at checking people across. If you're traveling back from Mexico into the US, fear no more! You won't be waiting for long in line. This is in my opinion the best port of entry there is in Tijuana. For an added bonus, you can still do some awesome last minute border shopping. Burritos and Raspados Playas are my favorite items to get when I get the chance to eat some.

    Most of the border crossing from Mexico to USA feel like parking lots. The wait is sometimes…read morehorrible depending on time, date, location, and if you encounter a broken down car in your lane. People are hustling trying to make a quick buck by selling candy, toys, snacks, clothing, and of course drinks. Bathrooms are a no go, unless you get out of your car, find a toilet, remember what car you were in, find it the car, and hope your party don't leave you behind haha the waiting lines to cross to the US don't stop moving here people. You can imagine how the driver must feel if they have to go pee pee time. We had a good moving line. We were back on US soil within 25 minutes. We did buy snacks too (they looked good) but thankfully no bathroom situations. This border crossing was ok in my books. Must've been the time and date, either way a win win. Have your documents ready and prepare your bladder to hold onto your pee pee longer haha drip drip drip ;) Oh yeah.. Don't try to pet the guard dogs or throw treats at them.. They're working!
