Visited Tijuana for 10 days. Great experience. Scene is as described. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $144/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Good info. I'd add that the morning is the best time to go.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.
