Visited Tijuana for 10 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is active. Pricing fair.
Spent $97/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 7.5/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.
Tijuana — overrated?

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Quick question — how was the Uber availability?

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.
