I see news reports that the first people from the caravan have arrived in Tijuana. Also showing pictures of K rail placement and of barb wire. You regulars going there please report if there is a change due to the influx of so many indigent people.

Hey guys, I need some guidance. I am from TN which is in the bible belt and not nearly as fun as where you guys live. I am going to LA for business for a week in January. After I finish with my business, I want to check out TJ but want to make sure I stay safe. I will more than likely just stay at the hotel at HK for a couple of days and not wander too far from there. My questions are:
Cheapest / Best way to get from LA to the border? Looks like amtrak maybe?
Are there any food places within walking distance of Honk Kong?
Is it safe for me to just walk around the area near HK by myself in the day time?
Thanks in advance!
There is some buses that the Mexicans take. They seem like very nice buses and they are fairly cheap. Another option is simply rent a car. Enterprise only $35 a day I believe. Yes the area around HK and the Zona is relatively safe. You should always look around and see who is behind you. There is bandito's at times in the Zona.

Amtrak to SD then the Trolly to the border. Walk across and then taxi to HK.
As for food, many street vendors and a few cafes worthy of you patronage.
In the daytime, you are good to wander a bit. At night, stay around HK and play.
Just one man's opinion.
C3.

So anyway, if you want to talk about the absolute cheapest. It actually is the good old greyhound bus, but I wouldn't recommend it. Amtrak is a good option, it's relatively cheap, relatively ontime and very safe. Once you get to Downtown SD (where our train station is), you can either Uber or if you want, take the Trolley (light rail) to the border.
Renting a car is good too, but you'll have to park at the border, kind of pain in the ass if you ask me. The area around the clubs is relatively safe.
The next morning, you can come back and get in a Lyft and it will take you north, airport / train station.
Have fun and always be alert.

I sometimes parked my car in the pay lot close to the border overnight but that was 12+ years ago.
Also, since the op did not mention that he knows: a passport is required.
I don't think I could tolerate 2+ days in Zona Norte. I'd want to venture out a bit.
If you stay at Cascadas on a Monday or Tuesday, buy the Hong Kong VIP card. Room rental at Cascadas is 80% off on those days and that will pretty much pay for the VIP card.
The block where Hong Kong sits seems relatively safe to me. Some say don't go on Ninos Heros, I think that Ninos Heros is marginally safe at the block where Hong Kong is; but no other block of Ninos Heros feels safe to me.
It's OK to cross the street to Tropical, but, don't go north of that block, except to get to Chicago Club on Constitution. I don't feel particularly safe just before Chicago club.
Don't go east of Constitution unless you are on Articulo 123 or further south.
Some say you should stay off of Constitution south of the alley. Many times I've walked south (up the hill) on Constitution to Articulo 123 (aka, Premeria), I've been fine. I've also enjoyed walking East on Articulo 123 to the arch and then along Revolution to the South. Just before you get to the arch is also a diagonal walking street to the south; I've enjoyed the places there.
I recommend getting cash from ATMs, I get good exchange rate and reimbursed ATM fees using my Fidelity ATM card; other people get the same with Schwab ATM cards. My favorite ATM is at HSBC bank on Revolution, 1 block south of the arch. That ATM is not available late at night. The ATM in the north lobby of Hong Kong will not allow withdrawals more than 3000 peso ($150).
If it looks unsafe, it probably is. Keep your head on a swivel. Enjoy.

I've read more concern recently about Ninos Heroes. I've always circled the Coahuila block and alley and have never had any incidents. It does feel a little less safe but no issues for me. There are some regular chicas over there but I've never selected one from there. I'm rethinking my full circle route. LOL. Trust your gut and as Horse said, if it feels unsafe, it probably is. Use your head and you'll be ok.
Yes, AMTRAK and Greyhound bus are the cheapest and the main hit is time. If you go during work hour or holiday driving rush, you will not lose time but any other time the transfers will slow you. LA to Amtrak is a bit slow, then SD Amtrak is short jump to trolley. I woud say its the least stressful, but I love the train.
My first mugging was on NinoesHeros and Coahulia, just a few feet west of HK north entkrance. This is why I wavepeople off there. You're also a great deal more likely to have a Policia fuck with you at NH and the alley. Theres also sometimes kids who try to pickpocket when your hands are full with tacos. If you're trying to minimize risk, its an easy avoid as theres nothing there you need. Get a taco on Constitucion. The girls are sparse and the very low end of the spectrum. It has higher Narco activity as one of the few alley shootings was a “cuantos” guy, on that end, shot about 50 feet off NH and the alley (near Eduardo hotel, across from HK south entrance).
Thanks for your help guys. I will probably go amtrak to SD and call an uber to take me to the border. I will be going down on a Saturday, and come back on Tuesday. I will have a suitcase and a backpack with me. I will probably spend the rest of my Tuesday in SD and fly back early Wednesday. I am excited. I have heard the quality and price in Tijuana is fantastic.
Went to HK tonight (Nov 15), negotiated the price with the girl, Ivana, then arriba. In the room, the girl asked for up-front payment. I told her I already said payment after (pagar despues servicio, even showed her the note in writing). I then showed her the money and told her that I would cancel if she insisted payment upfront. She oked it. Then foreplay a few min, finger sensed a big tampon inside (pussy). Very angry and quitted it. The girl dragged me and asked for payment. I went outside and asked the staff to get the security. Later, both the security and the manager showed up. Explained the situation.
The girl in period and cheated me, still with tampon inside. Will you fuck a tampon if you were me? Get one female staff to check about it. He did not respond.
Now the girl played the trick: played weakness, tear on face.
The manager translated it: the girl claimed I beat her.
I told the manager: I did not want to proceed since the girl in period with tampon. I do not want to quarrel w / her. Why would I call the security if I beat her. He did not respond.
Then the manager translated it again: the girl said I gave her the money and then took it back. I should pay her $100.
What the hell? I pulled out the note and showed it to both the security and the manager. I clearly put it in writing.
1) pagar despues servicio.
2) MXN 1200 peso + propinas good service.
I just showed the girl that I had the money in room, but I would pay only after service.
Although I explained them all this, the manager still asked me to pay her. I am totally pissed off, especially, the ***** cheated me. Now, I do not think that the HK staff do not know who is lying. Finally, the manager, asked me to pay the ***** $50, and he can give me a coupon for 1 free night. I am from San Diego, never stay overnight there. However, the manager said that is the best he can do. Otherwise they would call the police to resolve it.
Forced to accept it (threat from the manager) though not happy.
When I was walking outside, the manager talked to the security, who then told me that I could not go to the bar immediately, I had to wait for a couple hours, say, after 8 PM (want me to pay the entrance fee?
What the fuck? I am the victim and expect HK to handle it in a fair manner. But, now see what they did. This is how they treat their customers!
I went to HK many many times! Never experienced such an issue before. Ridiculous that I was forced to pay a ***** who did not provide the service. Ridiculous that they would not fuck tampons but they think the customers should! (I just quitted it when I sensed it with my finger! I paid $70 for nothing!
The ***** is Ivana, from Guadalajara. About 5'6- 5'8 with shoes.
Personally I would take the Trolley to San Ysidro if you have time. There is some buses that go to Tijuana or San Ysidro from SD as well.

After seeing images of the girls I'm glad I haven't driven to Tijuana in long, long time.
I know Ivana with her curly blonde hair and slutty looks.
She did a very serious offense falsely accusing you of physical assault and battering. HK manager (what' shis name?) also stuck it to you. They are doing it all wrong.
I would meet with HK's owner and have this grievance redressed.
