RTTF. The same question was literally just answered a couple of posts below.

I have always driven into Mexico for the last 20 or so years. I've been going down there from SD for about the last 40 years on and off. The last time I walked over around 20 years ago no ID or anything was needed, you just walked right in. I'm thinking about trying a walk over when things settle down a bit with the virus. I have Sentri. Can I walk into Mexico with just a CA drivers license and my Sentri card or do I need to bring my passport? I do not have a passport card and would rather not bring my passport if not needed. Thanks in advance for any info on this.

Hadn't been to the Zona in months due to obvious reasons and a monger friend came down from the Bay Area so we decided to check out the Zona. Arrived at about 8 pm on Thursday. Foot traffic was considerably down. But it seemed like most of the street carts were open for business. All the bars were shuttered. There was a number of SG's available. Saw a handful of white walkers but not Jamie or Kayla.

I'd say maybe 30% of usual SG capacity.

Decided to check out the lineup at Cascadas. There were about 18 chicas or so. Some were decent, most were not. About the usual quality for HK. Went to Rizo to check out the lineup and there were about 10 chicas. One was about an 8 but she literally didn't look up from her phone the 5 minutes I was there. Left and walked around the block a couple times. Decided to check out Jalos to see if they had a lineup. The desk guy said that the CC chicas were staying at La Carreta Hotel and he walked us there to view the lineup. When we arrived, he whistled up 5 SG's that were standing outside Carreta. That was his lineup of CC chicas. A mixture of 3-5's so left quickly.

Walked around the block a couple more times, then returned to Cascadas to see if the lineup had changed. It was the same chicas. Went back to Rizo and it was the same chicas too. This time the hot one wasn't glued to her phone. We were offered a table so we sat down and ordered a few beers and just observed. There were about 10 chicas including the one hot one. I recognized a couple from TB and HK. There was music and about 5 meseros / workers hovering around. A couple had masks on but none of the chicas did. The hot one was skinny, medium skin tone for a Mexicana, blonde hair, about 5'5" and maybe 22 yo. She was annoying though, big loud mouth. Always talking, real loud, had no trouble hearing her across the room over the music. Was dancing around, probably had a good buzz. I noticed some chicas were drinking full sized beers, and one was drinking puta-sized. There was one chica from HK who is obsessed with me, and she quickly came over before I had a chance to hide. Sat with me about 10 minutes before thankfully she left. She has a really pretty face but a little older and not skinny. With a horrific ugly skull tattoo on her thigh. I think she might have just gotten her ass done as it was much more obtrusive than I remember. Anyhow, the reason I mention her is because I always thought she had a pretty face because I only saw her at HK. Rizo has normal lighting, about the same as your average hotel lobby. So you can see a lot more imperfections. A lot more of the blemishes under their makeup that you normally can't see inside the dark bars. So just be aware of that.

Sat around for about an hour, then walked the block a couple more times. It was maybe 11 pm and there was only a handful of SG's left. Decided to head home but am curious to head back over soon.

Has anyone walked into Mexico within the last few days, and what kind of questions are they asking if any. I plan to come down for a few days and have contemplated driving across and avoiding the paperwork for the tourist card, but would rather walk. If asked what I am doing or crossing for into Mexico, I plan to say I'm getting some dental work done.

I'm not worried about crossing back into the USA, but am more concerned about entering on foot.

Any observations, or advice would be appreciated for entering Mexico by foot.

Thanks.

I walked across a few days ago. The only thing they asked me was how many days will you be staying. I guess it depends on the immigration officer but there wasn't anyone else crossing at that time.

For entering Mexico by foot, say I'm getting some dental work done works fine for me.

You just need a proper documentation (passport) and get a free 7 days permit or 6 months FFM for 500 something pesos.

Sometimes they check your temperature, sometimes they're not.

Don't forget your mask. Some stores & establishments in Tijuana wouldn't let you in without a mask.

Baster and Aster thanks for the information. As far as crossing / returning I have a Passport, Passport Card, and Sentri. I never take my Passport across the border but use my Passport Card to enter, and for crossing back into the USA I use my Sentri Card. Thanks again for this information!

I have crossed on foot the last few weekends. Nobody ever asked me any questions. And only took my temperture one time. I was prepared with a few excuses just in case. And dental appointment was one of them. Try this one tell them you are looking for peace quiet and safety and you are tired of all the riots and violence in the USA.

Was talking to a girl I know from Adelita's earlier today. She says she's still been working. Some girls hang out in the Adelity hotel lobby to pick up customers. I'm assuming maybe similar at other spots like HK's hotel for now. She says many Americans are still coming down, crossing the border. Says they've told her they come for all kinds of reasons. Often not essential (for example even if they say just to eat tacos LOL) - but the customs people generally still let them through without problems despite the restrictions you hear about on the news. Thinking about maybe heading down 1st week of July (holiday weekend) regardless of whether things are back open then.

We just had thousands of protesters heading down my street. Hope they don't set everything of fire later tonight.

I have been fascinated with the tijuana crime issue which is generally due to no jails prisons and therefore no detectives since people don't stay in jail long. But, NYC has been heading towards this model over last year, by eliminating bail, so most go free on 1 hour, and now coronavirus they let most criminals go, and now with protests, last night in Manhattan I walked for 7 hours watching people break into stores all night police racing around town, mostly they only tried to protect Macy's apple store and Microsoft, target. Even best buy I watched 40 bust through no cops came they watched from across street. But this was nothing. Saturday was 100% mayhem with 60 thousand protesters surrounding 800 cops throwing glass bottles bricks at them, the only guy arested a white guy playing biggie smalls "give me the loot". These people were getting 3 inches from cops nose screaming they will kill them, they have a small cock, there homo, there ugly, their a piece of crap, on and on, god bless those police. They have very strict mental health requirements to get hired. They have off the charts patience. Unfortunately many go home after this and shoot themselves in the head. 100% of these criminals would not last 1 week living in Tijuana with no law and order. Nobody ever moves to america and says I wish we had no law and order like mexico.

I have been going the last couple weekends. And to answer your question, NO. The only question I get that is different than a normal question. " can I see your face? " in other words remove your mask.

When I come back to the USA After this weekend, if I get the question what was your reason for being in Mexico. I plan on saying to flee all the violence in the USA.

That is cracking me up Baxter.

Why can't they open a place like campo allegre in curacao? This is perfect to keep social distance.

Even Campo is now closed. The whole island of Curacao is also quarantined. I am always there a week in January. I miss this place because I always have a great vacation there (sun, sex, sea, sand! Etc).

[StRobert]

This.

Unfortunately Sept is also when flu season starts(possible second wave?). IMO we will be lucky to be celebrating Christmas in Tijuana.

Tijuana will probably be open before then but there will still be a high risk just being there in an urban environment with minimal social distancing, crowded streets, street people without PPE.

It's a mess. It makes me so sad.

Flu is not a big problem. E. g. I take flu shot every year at the turn of September and October and I think I haven't had flu for the last 20 years. At Walgreens there is a free flu shot with your medical insurance or around $ 30 without insurance. Meanwhile, all countries and scientists are working crazy on the Covid 19 vaccine. It is expected to be ready by the end of the year. If the vaccine for Covid 19 will be ready I will immediately take it and run to.... Hong Kong club!

Hey thank you for posting this. I plan to go next week. My question is when you cross the border, does the border patrol asked if you have been quarantined or showed any signs of the virus.

I use SENTRI and drive my car. They have never asked such a thing.
