OK I agree with everyone that TJ is horrible but it has it's peculiar moments of interest.
Take the Trolley from SD or a tour bus - check it out just for the fun of it - sit on a "zonkie" (a mule painted like a zebra - poor thing) sit on it with a sombraro on your head and bottle of tequila in hand and get a stupid picture taken - it's hysterical.
Look at this messed up chaos - everyone trying to sell everything and their brother.
get serenaded by roving mariachi band if you're female. give them a few bucks they are nice folk in all Mexico just trying to get by.
try to stock up on good tequila like Petron.
Then go home and don't go back...except for the cheap Petron and assorted phamacy items. i.e. i have asthma and got 3 inhalers for 15 bucks.

At Least Do This: Picture on "Zonkie"
Stock up on good Tequila - think you can't bring more than one litre into USA though.
Just observe the madness and imagine what these people who live here have to put up with - sad.
