Best areas in Tijuana:
Main Scene: Tourist zone. Best concentration of venues. Busy but learnable.
Alternatives: Side streets have hidden gems.
Hope this helps.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.
