Things to do during the day in Tijuana
What would be a good place out of these 10 places to spend 3-4 hours on Saturday afternoon? All of them have mixed reviews. I am a foodie and don't mind window shopping. Avenida Revolucion? I was going to take a cab and check out beach, but then it seems far.

4 hours on Saturday around noon?
You only have 4 hours. The beach in La Playa is a joke, not worth the time to cab there.
If you plan to spend 4 hours in the afternoon, I suggest you walk South to Ave Revolution, checking out the music and natives performance at the hotel Nelson's plaza, the handicraft stands and mariscos restaurants in that area.
Walk South on Revolucion, checking out trinket shops and farmacias catering to tourists. You may find some interesting and artistic gift items uniquely Mexican.
Take a cab about 2 miles South to the nice, clean, upscale, main shopping mall Plaza Rio, where the middle class goes for shopping, food and entertainment. There is a food court with nice, clean stores and good varieties of food:
Plaza Rio, Calle Paseo de LOS Heroes 96, Tijuana 22010.
On the way back, stop by Catedral de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe and confess all your sins. Hehe.

BLUE & WHITE MERCEDES BENZ VANS From the Border to Centro & Back 10 Pesos
[QUOTE=CaptainSolo;2053882]For a sexy ride from the border into Tijuana Centro, with intimate contacts with females oozing feminine odors from their damp crotches and armpits, where do you pick up your 10-peso blue and white chauffeured MBZ limousine?[/QUOTE]After you enter Mexico on foot, exit the building and walk down past all of the taxistas touting $5 to HK, blah blah blah look to the left at that smokey outdoor BBQ cafe and usually the vans are waiting. Some are yellow and white, not sure if they are MB's or other.
I heard that the former mayor of Tijuana Jorge Hank Rhon owns a LARGE share of Mercedes Benz Mexico. So likely some money went into his pockets from these vans. Sometimes the vans take you the 2 minute route over El Chapparal new bridge but lately the old route down 3rd street to Constitucion unless you yell BAJAN and get off at Madero. They rarely stop at Revolucion even if you ask as it's difficult.
Worst thing is leg room is lacking if you are tall and long legged except for the back row. Problem with the back row is that when the van hits bumps your seat flies off the seat and comes crashing down. Would be better if they had stirrups so you could cushion the blow to the tail bone and spine.
But they are clean and for 10 pesos hard to beat.
