Tijuana is located on Mexican side of the USA - Mexico border line just south of San Diego, California. There is the world's busiest border crossing point there and Tijuana is the world's most "visited" city: over 100,000 visitors each day!.
The city looks quite different than San Diego but I am not sure whether it's real Mexico. It's rather city which tries to make big business on visitors from the USA - succesfully, I suppose.
What business? Do you want the whole list? OK, just top 5 (in my opinion):
- souvenirs,
- medicines,
- booze,
- food in restaurants,
- cigarettes.
Although not so easily you can find real Mexico there as well :-).
.
Those two stone figures as on my picture. Do you like them?
If you know who they are e-mail me, please!
Surely delicious, very delicious Mexican food + beer :-).
- Pros:You can say: I WAS in Mexico :-))), delicious Mexican food, shopping
- Cons:Beggars, lower quality of goods and services, hmm... a little different traffic, street vendors may disturb you sometimes...
- In a nutshell:Gate to real Mexico!

Hello, Maciek! What a great trip and a fabulous country! Thanks for your insights!
I just had to check out your Tujuana page Matt as I could not possibly think how you came up with over 100 tips for this place. The one time Hans and I visited, I couldn't wait to get out of there .
Great page and interesting tips about the city in other part of the world!! :)
Hi Matt. Fabulous page here! Great tips & photos, especially the Local Customs! Yes, we also have happy hour down here, and also cook with gas :-) I wonder if my pages will ever grow as big as your! :-) Greetings from the desert / Jess
I have my theory about those 7 dolls sculpture, 1 could be that they just make that up, 2nd is they might be inspired by an archeaology found and 3rd, Dzibiltchaltun and the temple of the seven dolls: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dzibilchaltun
Excellent tips and photos on Tijuana. I have heard a lot of stories about the place but never been there. It appears to be a lot like other Mexican border towns, maybe just more tourists.
Interesting page. Your great restaurant tips have made my mouth water - so many things I have never tasted!
Quite an extensive explanation of Tijuana. I was getting mighty hungry as I read the restaurant tips with the photos and recipes. Thorough, descriptive, detailed, interesting, helpful,
I have learnt a lot from your excellent page! I have been to San Diego but did not cross the border. I understand that the fastest is by bike! Amazing that there are so many people passing the border in Tijuana!
that smell of the TJ river! Cannot forget! T2W
