Living in Tijuana is much easier and nicer than you would think. In my years living there I never meet people that were depressed by living in Tijuana. Like most cities those living there are very proud and even with its negatives most in Tijuana come from other parts of Mexico for work. Being a border city it's definitely not full of normal Mexican culture as you find in some other parts but everyone is very warm especially if you make the effort to speak the language.
The city is getting more foreign investment and you can see the money being injected but the traffic is a mess and unfortunately Mexico doesn't have the money to spend or print like the US to make large investments to build more highways.

Posts: 451After more than 18 months I have gotten the interview. I am working through that process. A less resourceful person than me could wait a year for the interview.

Posts: 451Tijuana is an ok place to have fun. Same with Rosarito and even Ensenada. I fly the lower cost girls from all over Mexico into Tijuana and we have lots of fun going to places to eat. Bars and various sight seeing. They are still high quality girls. It is just well known the closer the girl is to Tijuana/San Diego the more she will ask for.
Now I get how someone who has been to other cities in Mexico thinks Tijuana is bad. Even Mexicans I know think Tijuana is not as good as the other cities I been too. Besides some of the obvious beach cities I really like CDMX. Yea no amazing beaches but fantastic sight seeing, great food and so far I have met my favorite locas from CDMX. Some I met there and some I met in the Zona from there.

You will go thru 3 "Glorietas" aka traffic circles but just stay in the middle so you go straight. You will pass El Camino Real hotel at the second one and Plaza Rio at the third one. Now the only problem with this route is that the border line is usually the longest since it's for those that don't have Ready Lane and usually moves slower.
Your second option is to do the same as the first but at the first traffic circle go to the right and take the bridge over the river. Now stay in the right lane so yo can take the first right off ramp once over the river. This will put you onto the areápida that will take you to the border and the Ready Lanes.
If you look on google maps before your trip to get familiar with things and maybe make a test drive if you have time before you go to the motel. Tijuana is pretty easy to get around once you figure out some of the basic streets. Mostly it's East to West and the biggest obstacle is to realize that most businesses are on one side of the river but to get back to the border you have to get to the other side.

Some of Tijuana's restaurants are indeed excellent. Those from the placencia group are always a hit. And many others. I eat very well there. And some bars have excellent mixology that would rival anything here in the states.
But still, those are pearls among swine. The city is ugly and poorly planned. The people are often miserable and contemptuous of their richer and more entitled neighbors to the north (with good reason often). While some areas are safe, smart people will not walk between safe areas a mile away due to legitimate safety issues. The police are corrupt. The poverty is not third world but it's not first world either and when it's bad it's really bad (like shanty towns).
I'm not saying Tijuana has nothing going for it. It does and I go there often. I'm saying that as a resident it would suck. It's good for norteños like us to come and do our thing and leave. But for people who make it a home, it's just an awful place.

Posts: 33How to find the border crossing while driving
The last time I went to Tijuana I left my hotel at 2:00 PM and I could not find the border line. I left from La Mansion and every sign that I followed took me in circles around the city. Every time I would get close to what looked like a border line, the police would direct me away. Google maps / car navigation was no help. Eventually I just crossed through the sentry line because I honestly could not figure out how to drive across the proper way. I always stay at La Mansion. Can someone explain how to get into the automobile crossing line when it is busy? Is it easier to navigate to the Otay Crossing?

I say this as someone who goes to Tijuana on the regular. It's an awful city with few redeeming qualities except it's proximity to the US and readily available access to poontang that costs half as much as 1 mile to the north. Yes it has some good restaurants and bars but it is largely a cultural wasteland and a existential threat to the humanity and dignity of its inhabitants, most of whom would live elsewhere if given the choice and opportunity.

I will check SA. But as mentioned I am a Strip Club guy. Any must go to out there? I am sure nothing like HK, but anything even remotely close or even more laid back will do.
Thanks!
