Don't take the risk!

by gecko671 , Mar 08 '08
Pros: cheap food and services
Cons: Crime everywhere
I've been going to Tijuana for over 25 years. The crime rate has skyrocketed there in recent months and it's due mainly because of police corruption. Since I experienced it first-hand today, I thought I'd warn everyone that even if you're "careful" ...

What a fiasco crossing back to the USA!

by palkovics , Nov 01 '04
Pros: Going to Tijuana is fun to do once!
Cons: Too much hassle!
Tijuana was a stop on a recent San Diego trip we took. We parked on the US side, walked across the border with no problem. It is a typical border town. There are LOTS of strip clubs, lots of bars and plenty of beggars. I found it very dirty and was ...

Tijuana: an experience to remember

by carmanmusic , Mar 30 '04
Pros: the people, the sights
Cons: language barrier
Back in 2000, I wrote a review about how bad and dirty Tijuana was, and how bad I felt for the kids, but I never tried to do anything about it.I judged Tijuana from just from appearances. These last two Spring Breaks, my church went down to TJ to ...

Interesting side trip

by cadchick , Jan 16 '04
Pros: Nice people, interesting city
Cons: Poverty, didn't feel safe
First off, I'll start by saying I probably would have felt much safer on my trip to Tijuana had I gone with another person or a tour. After a business trip I had a few days to spend in San Diego. I figured I'd take a day trip down to TJ and see what it ...

Stay away from Tijuana

by pandown10 , Aug 31 '03
Pros: Inexpensive to party, cheap goods and outdoor markets.
Cons: Corruption, exploitation, border crossing, pushy club promoters, odors, pollution and just plain ol' dangerous.
Let me first start off by saying that I'm not a publicist or anyone that has to do with the tourism ...

Never again!

by jules55 , Nov 14 '02
Pros: Shopkeepers and passersby were helpful.
Cons: Crime!
After what happened to me while on a half-day tour to Tijuana, I could never recommend a trip there to anyone.

We started our tour at 9:30 in the morning when the tour guide that had picked us up at our San Diego hotel dropped us off on the...

Saturday in Tujuana, Mexico

by markwpatterson , Aug 03 '02
Pros: Colorful, way too inexpensive, lovely people, incredible arts & crafts
Cons: aggressive, pushy pharmacy vendors, lines across the border
Come ON you guys...you'll have Americans scared to death to go to Tijuana with some of these reviews! Americans are such woosies when it comes to travel outside our own country. No, Tijuana ain't a luxury destination. But come on, it's fun & if you're...

Don't waste your time.

by enabler , Aug 01 '02
Pros: No need to exchange currency or know Spanish.
Cons: Children begging, hustlers everywhere, NO ONE leaves you alone.
After paying good money for parking and bus fare on the cleverly named "Mexicoach" to Tijuana, I arrived optimistic. The bus depot (where you have to pay for the privilege of using a bathroom) was right in the thick of things along Avenida Revolucion,...

The city that never sleeps

by jesse12 , Jul 16 '02
Pros: Interesting, exciting, great food, unique, colorful, good looking girls
Cons: dangerous
Tijuana, formally known as Aunt Juana's ranch, became Mexico's border city after Mexico lost most of California to the United States because of the Mexican/American war. Tijuana is a new city according to Mexican standards, and has very little in the way...

TJ.

by krbsurf , Apr 12 '02
Pros: Fascinating.
Cons: Corruption.
I've been going to Tijuana since I was 17 years old. This town is electric, dirty, fascinating, scary, and thought provoking all at once! I wanted to give my impression of the city and it's people so that you might make and educated decision on whether...

Avenida Revolucion

by hollynz, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 21 '01
Pros: If I think long enough I might come up with some.......no, I couldn't sorry.
Cons: Aggressive sales people.
I'm sure Tijuana is not the ' real' Mexico and I am sure Avenida Revolucion is not the 'real' Tijuana but...it is the closest I got.

We decided to check out Tijuana one Sunday morning. We drove down to the border and parked at the Border...

Picking Up On American College Girls In Tijuana.

by Canfield , May 25 '01
Pros: Good Food And Cheap Beer.
Cons: Don't forget the rain coat!
The ability to meet a lot of college girls across the border from San Diego in Tijuana is very easy. The number one aim of the visitors there for the night life is to pick up on the opposite sex and to get drunk.

Not necessarily in that...

I'm on a Mexican, woah-oh, Radio!

by Fez_Monkey Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 16 '01
Pros: When you get away from the horrible Americans and their disgusting behavior, it is Mexico
Cons: Frat boys, bimbos, jarheads, and other American excrement polluting the town.
It was 7:30 in the morning and we were already running late. If we wanted to crack the border by 10 we would need to take our motion up to 11, pronto.

It was all Duende's idea. One night while munching on a tostada from Tito's Tacos...

Weird, Wonderful, Tough, and the Most Underrated City In North America.

by amycamus , Mar 12 '01
Pros: Energy, cultural frisson, weirdness, and astonishment every three feet.
Cons: Cons so obvious that I'll leave them to others.
Let me state first off so that you may choose to stop reading now if you like: I LOVE Tijuana. Most commentaries about Tijuana, most visitor reports including the majority of those here on Epinions, focus pretty much exclusively on Tijuana as a day...

It's not so bad...I met my husband there!

by wifemommyteach , Jan 04 '01
Pros: A choice of bars, a place for those between the ages of 18&20 to go dancing
Cons: Dirty, different justice system, can be unsafe if you are not smart
Yes, I'll admit it, I met and MARRIED a man I met on Avenue de Revolucion in Tijuana (TJ). YES, he was a sailor and YES I was a college student. So what? We've now been together for nearly 5 years and are happy as clams! Okay, now that I'm done being...
