Visited Tijuana for 10 days. Solid experience. Scene is active. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $74/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 7.5/10. Would return.
AMA.
Avoid Coahuila Street? Or is it fine?

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

How long did it take you to find the good spots?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.
