Primero Dios altar can be found across the the Colegio Levato.

Rhis is about q quarter mile from the California entry. Our time to cross today was 2 1/2 hrs. We bought ice cream paletas, a masa pan, and a gave 5 pesos to a vendor to throw out some trash we had in the car. The rostilocos at the michoacana are my favorite.

U.S.Customs agents showing you how goods are more acceptable than citizens.  Youd let me cross after 2 if I was from a petroleum company.

Crossing time is inaccurate, They closed a few minutes 2pm. Why aren't they opening the border at full capacity like the rest?

I have been in line since 12:99 noon...‍

I've been in line almost 2 hours...it's 1:46 p.m. and I'm NOT going to make it....‍...I don't understand WHY it states 1 hour wait when it's REALLY 2 hours..my advice...always give yourself a 3 hour head advantage to cross when it says on the app 1 hour wait ...I'm pretty sure they're gonna close the gate in my FACE!......oh well...I have SENTRI...so I gotta go through Tijuana......

See all

Why does this crossing closed at 10pm? Why doesn't it stay open 24 hours like the others.

They lie! CBP claiming the Tecate border is currently operating at a 30 minute wait time. Now way that's possible. Stop lying to the public

Ask the Community - Tecate Border Crossing

Is Tecate border better to cross then Otay or San Ysidro? And is the road ok to drive from Tecate to Bonita, California?

Yes... great drive ! Way better port of entry , but it's closes at 11pm.. it's not open 24 hours like the other two.

Is crossing better then Otay and San Ysidro?

No. It used to be, but now it is saturated with Tijuana traffic. People come from Tijuana because the border wait there is so long. Before I was able to cross, park, buy my weekly groceries at TC Worthy. Not anymore. Avoid, unless you're okay with… Read more

I love it when I can bring my dogs camping! Potrero County Park Campground is located on the East…read moreSide of San Diego. The surrounding areas are mountains and small towns. We went at the beginning of October. The weather in the daytime was cool, it rained for one day at night, and it got chilly. At night you can hear frogs and crickets. Dogs are welcome, but they must be leased at all times. There are hot showers available in the park bathrooms. Make sure to bring quarters to feed the machine. There are unruly campers at night. They blast the music up during quiet hours and drink. The best time to camp here is during the weekdays, and it's tranquil. The nature trail is easy to hike. It was a nice getaway!

We had space 15 which had lots of shade and room for our slide out. 31' class C RV. No real path to the bathroom so you have to cross across others campsites if you are in a, ah, hurry. Lots of ground squirrels, blue jays, vultures, crows and woodpeckers. ***COYOTES at night **** we had our dogs wear their coyote vests any time we went out. Serious sticker burr challenge for our dogs. Will bring a rake next time. Super friendly ranger. They have a little free library. We will come again in winter
