OTAY MESA Border crossing Basics.
I've been getting a lot of questions about Crossing at Otey. So I'm going to make this as simple as possible.
1. Times are about half the time or less than San YSidro. You can check the times here:

2. Yes, you can catch a bus to and from Otay to the Trolley:

3. Where to park and cost: 5/24 hrs or if your lucky along the street for free. Put this into google maps.
32. 552289-116. 943547.
4. Cab fare: check your negotiation skills: $12-18.
There is a govt run cab when you cross over to Mex but the average cost will be about $15. Walk down a little and go cross over to the other side where cabs are dropping those who are going to US. You can negotiate a better fare.
Hope this helps.
La Cueva del Peludo & OTM Port
Howdy.
Well no detailed report sorry. I did email them and they replied that they opened at 10 am. I went to to Tijuana. Via Otay. This past Tuesday and got to La Cueva around 10:30 am it was open but no one was in there no girls nor any customers so I left. I can only report don't plan on going in the morning / day. At least. It was worth stopping wouldn't know it if I hadn't stopped by. If I ever get to go at night I'll stop by.
As to the whole issue going on at San Ysidro Port it will also going to occur at Otay. There was a government employee for tourist department right when you enter Mexico that I asked and he confirmed it. As to when I heard 2 things: a man on Trolley was saying that he talked to some CBP guys and they told him it would start in November which a lady respond that was not true someone in Tijuana told her that they were behind schedule. I asked the taxi driver if he knew when construction be completed he said that they had projected it be a 2 year project and were 6 months (or 3 months) into it. Doubt it start in November place didn't look like it was about done to open that soon.
Again thanks for info I would have gotten lost without you guys telling me where to go to get taxi. Ride on second taxi was an adventure in itself on how fast guy was driving within city and taking yellow / red lights.
