Visited Tijuana for 12 days. Solid experience. Scene is improved. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $106/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 7.5/10. Would return.
AMA.
Avoid Adelita Bar? Or is it fine?

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

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

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has stayed consistent recently.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.
