Any club on Revolution Avenue: Revolution Avenue, Tijuana

 noli Says:  There are several clubs to party at on Revolution Avenue. Fridays, Saturdays and any long weekend are probably the best nights to visit to ensure a lively atmosphere.If you want to see the wild college scene around San Diego, visit the clubs on Revoltion Avenue on Thursday...

Driving out of Mexico

Driving out of Mexico, Tijuana

 johngayton Says:  As with walking into Mexico, there seems to be only token border control when driving. Leaving Tijuana does however need a bit of patience - noting that this will be your last chance to get your souvenirs!!!Driving through the border looked simple enough with the correct... 

Walking Out of Mexico

Walking Out of Mexico, Tijuana

 johngayton Says:  Whilst walking into Tijuana from the US is simply a matter of walking through couple of turnstiles with virtually no border control, returning will involve a bit of queuing to get back through US immigration. On the day I visited the return, in the early afternoon, took... 

Walking Into Mexico

Walking Into Mexico, Tijuana

 johngayton Says:  As soon as you pass through the turnstile coming into Mexico you will be accosted by the local taxi drivers. If all you are doing is coming over to visit Tijuana itself then there is no need to get a taxi, the walk into town is about 10 minutes, if that, and does give you a... 

Mexican Car Insurance

Mexican Car Insurance, Tijuana

 noli Says:  If you're going to drive into Mexico I'd advise you to buy Mexican car insurance in San Isidro (the last U.S. city before entering into Mexico). It's only a few dollars depending on how long you are going to stay in Mexico and well worth the piece of mind. The insurer will...

Fast Talkers

Fast Talkers, Tijuana

 noli Says:  Watch out for the bar employees trying to hustle you into their bar. They'll promise you cheap beer prices just to get you inside and they turn around and charge you a different price once they've served you. Just finish that one round of beer and then walk out of the place. 

Tourist Traps  

SHOPPING IN T.J.

SHOPPING IN T.J., Tijuana

 nvschick Says:  BARGAIN BARGAIN BARGAIN. WHATEVER THEY ASK SAY YOU'LL IGVE THEM HALF. IF NOT THEN WALK AWAY. YOU WILL SEE HOW QUICKLY THE MERCHANT DROPS HIS ASKING PRICE. STAY IN GROUPS. DON'T WANDER ALONE. T.J. ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT IS A LITTLE DANGEROUS. A LOT OF DELIQUENTS IN THE STREETS.... 

What to Pack  

Bring Proper ID

Bring Proper ID, Tijuana

 noli Says:   Whether driving back into the U.S. or walking back across the border you will be asked for ID. Make sure you don't forget you passport-if you aren't a U.S. citizen-or your driver license because the authorities will ask you about your citizenship when you cross back from... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Papas&Beer

Papas&Beer, Tijuana

 noli Says:  Papas&Beer is one of the most famous clubs in Mexico. Located in the city of Rosarito which is about a 30-45 minute drive south of Tijuana. It's long been a weekend destination for the 20-something-crowd from southern California looking for something different than the club...

The One Buck Beer

The One Buck Beer, Tijuana

 johngayton Says:  You will see plenty of places advertising beer for a dollar, I thought there might have been a catch such as a service charge or an attempt to add a chunk of tax (like they do in the US!!!). But here, despite the touting, the One Buck Beer costs One Buck!! Have a couple and...
