Visited Tijuana for 5 days. Great experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $63/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 8/10. Solid destination.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

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