[QUOTE=TheSwampHawk;3738032]Don't Uber, Trolly to "la linea". Then, if daylight it's an easy walk to L Zona (either Norte or Rosa, depending upon your preferred idiom.) Directions widely available or I can share. For return or both ways if after dark, taxi to / from la fronterra for $4-5. Yes, Adelitas is the go to (I've grown out of favor with Chicago), BUT in recent years Hong Kong now has the highest quality (usually, but not always with comparably higher pricing.) If you've done even a little homework, don't overlook the street girls in "the alley" (forget the name) in "back" of Hong Kong, etc. Incredible values, but for the highest willingness to negotiate a little and a half dozen words of Spanish helps.
Many, MANY years and trips. Still basically the same game, and though I don't get back very often any more, my sources tell me it's back to being pretty safe, again. Questions? Give a shout. I'd LOVE to join / guide a field trip, sometime! What an AWESOME suggestion, MM2 K!
HH, SS,
-SH.[/QUOTE]I've been to Tijuana many times. When I cross, I prefer to head to the taxi stand at the border, even during daylight hours (just go straight after you pass the Immigration window on the MX side) and ask the cabbie to take you to "La Coahuila" (pronounced "la cwa weela") or to "Adelitas. " Tell him / her you'll pay $5. It's faster, you're less likely to run into street hawkers, and it's safer, even during daylight.Sure, it's an extra $10 for the round trip, but it's worth it, IMNSHO.
I've never been accosted on the way while walking, but on the Tijuana board of ISG, you'll see the same advice. Tijuana is relatively safe, but you should keep your head on a swivel when on the street. Street crime isn't common, but it does happen, especially after dark.
