Tijuana, Mexico is one of those special places on this planet that everyone has an opinion about before they've ever visited. I decided it was long-over-due for me to travel down from San Diego and cross the border into Tijuana for a week of eating, exploring, and education.
The US/Mexico Border Crossing just south of San Diego to Tijuana, Mexico is the most highly trafficked border crossing in the entire world. More people cross the Tijuana San Diego border than anywhere else on earth, that's crazy to think about!
Obviously, one of the most polarizing aspects of Tijuana, Mexico is the border wall that is being constructed from the Pacific Ocean, past San Ysidro, past Otay Mesa, heading east towards Arizona and Texas.
After crossing the San Ysidro Pedestrian Border Crossing south of San Diego, our first order of business in Tijuana was to go visit the Parque de Amistad (Friendship Park) in Playas de Tijuana, where the border wall actually goes all the way into the Pacific Ocean.
From Parque de Amistad, we traveled to lunch in the Lagos neighborhood of Tijuana for delicuous gorditas and quesadillas.
After lunch, we got to see the massive border crossing line from Tijuana to San Diego.
We also checked into our Tijuana Airbnb near the Telefonica Gastro Park and finished the day at Norte Brewing, right next to Avenida Revolución in downtown Tijuana.
Special thanks to Border Tours for helping me navigate this incredible border city, and showing me all of the best things to do in Tijuana, Mexico; border-tours.com
Stay tuned for more videos from Tijuana, Mexico coming up next!

I always make sure I bring lots of USD in small bills so then when I drive back into California I get all kinds of goodies. I look latina, however I am biracial and do not speak Spanish. There are good and bad in any and everything but I have been to Tijuana about 6 times in two months and the people there were patient, kind and generous. Both the law enforcement in Mexico and our US customs and border patrol are great as well.
hi
Always good food when I was there in 1990. Navy Veteran of Hawai'i.
So you are crossing the border for tourism when it's closed for tourism.............. ósea que payaso
Can we cross again? We live in SD and love to visit, eat, shop and bring back tequila and some groceries we can’t find here.
I lived in Guadalajara for 2 years and heard my friends speak of Tijuana many times, but I never had time to visit, so thank you for this video. It's always good to see positive cultural experiences like the ones you post. While in Guadalajara, I never ate such good food and the Mexican people were so willing to teach me how to prepare their native dishes.
I really like that there was someone local waiting for you guys. It gives like a relaxed feeling.
Yes, you can have that if you pay for the service. Having money, life is easier and knowing also how t use the service and the money. Many people who have money, they don't want to spend that extra dollar maybe that's why they also have that money. Just to share, I have an uncle who is so rich that he could easy use the toilet paper as ass paper but so when he travel or are flying somewhere wow, he stays in like Motel 6 and fly economy class and he is 6.5. WOW, I told him many times that come on now..............buy and fly at least business class so you have more legroom no.......................he says that hey, if I buy an extra expensive ticket.............soon then I be broke LOL, what a joke ! Ok, enough said but again life is easy when you have the money so you can pay for the service. TCB.
Of course , they're white, which means money, im surprised there wasn't a whole squadron of people there lol.
In my opinion, the best way to visit a country that isn't yours is to find a local, born and raised in the city or in the country. It also helps with safety concerns. He/she won't take you to unsafe places or spots. I'm happy to see people touring my native state. Next stop Mexicali, La Rumosora and Tecate where the best "pan dulce" is made.
@Matthew Johnson if he worked for the cartel, he wouldnt be on camera
@Craig Nelson no one is controlling the area, they are all fighting each other, thats why theres alot of murders right now between diferent cartels.
I hope this message gets to you. This Travel video vlog hooked me from start to finish. I absolutely love your energy, content, positivism and how it's not about you, it's about the experience to be there with you. Thank you so much, consider me a new fan/follower of your channel.
Outstanding Video!! Very informative.. Thank you for sharing such a "Refreshing" 1st person perspective of your journey.
Such a great video. I have so many incredible memories of Tijuana growing up in San Diego. Can’t wait to visit again!
I've crossed over into Tijuana a number of times, always a fun time. You just have to be aware of your surroundings, like many cities in the US. I always stayed at the hotel Ticuan. Beautiful upscale place. Tijuana is awesome.
The best shrimp tacos is at Caliente, right next door to the Holiday Inn. Baja Mexico. AKA Tijuana ☑️
Tijuana sucks
God bless you all
@@codyamador8687 la rosarito es mas mejor
Is prescription medicine like Xanax and Pain Pills easy to get in Tijuana?
I went to Tijuana 30 years ago for lobster, margarita's and dancing, and loved the street scene, dogs, fire crackers, and so many happy people. It was an instant love for the country and it's culture. Thank you Mexico for all the you add to so many of our lives. I am truly grateful 🌴
I like that Mexico had a simple process. 4 mins is amazing!
Wait till u cross from Mexico to the US Wait is the correct verb ha! ha!
Not always, especially in car on weekends... you'll be 2 hours trying to make it into TJ 😆
It's not actually amazing, because there are very few people that want
to visit Tijuana.
@@terryrhyne8007 The only reason I visit Tijuana is because my mom still lives there. Other than that, I don't think I'd have the desire to visit it... i would much rather vacation in San Francisco when I go to Cali.
To get into a 3rd world country is never a problem, to get out can be a process and some times can be a problem...
I really appreciate how you leave the politics aside from this and really make it about the human experience. I live in LA and have crossed over this border walking many times. You have a done a great job showing Tijuana for what it is. Kudos.
I appreciate the message Luis! I'm here to listen rather than try to impose my limited knowledge on a topic I truly know nothing about! 🙏
Well, there is a lot more politics than advertised, but I appreciate the more balanced view of politics. I love Tijuana and travel there once a week or so. Tijuana is a great place to visit, rich in its unique history and culture.
Cartel isn't politics. This is stupid and very dangerous and a bad example
@@jessed6379 México Is like everywhere u go... If u go looking for drama... Drama is gonna find u
@@elchamuko3184 it's not the same... Cartel doesn't mess around
The way in which you approach everything in this video is so thoughtful, intelligent & I can promise you well received. Appreciate you
Thank you very much for the message and kind words, Courtney. I know people will watch this and I have a responsibility to those who do. 🙏

GRACIAS 🙂 I have family in Tijuana 💕& San Diego. Great video.
Thank you for Sharing the Positive side of Mexico!!
It was interesting to see the locals and most of all the great food!!!
This definitely is one of my favorites out of all your videos. Awesome job! ❤️
I enjoyed watching this video can't wait to see more. I love how you enjoy food, culture, and experiencing new things.👍
Thank you very much Maria! I can't wait to share more! I am working on the Tijuana Taco Tour video right now! 😃
Incredible. I went to Tijuana when I was a child in the 1950s. No one would believe how far the city has come! Wow!
border ever since?
Travel deeper - love that this channel is authentic, educational and makes you think. Thank you.
Tijuas got some GOOD eats. Enjoy, Gareth.
Wait until next week! 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮 😃
But just watch out for crabs
Thank you again for a wonderful video. You do a great job! Love your adventures and the different foods you try. Please keep them coming!
Thank you very much!! 😃
Thanks for sharing this bro! This is a nice video and seeing your experience there.
Thank you for this video😭 my grandparents lived in Chula Vista for over 25 years, when my pops was stationed there. And my abuela used to take my sisters and i to Tijuana for the day,every time we visited which was about 3-4 times a year. I have so many great memories with her in Tijuana. Beautiful hospitable people, beautiful culture. Bomb a$$ food. I love Tijuana ❤️
As many times as I have been to San Diego I’ve never crossed the border 🇺🇸 into Mexico 🇲🇽 Many thanks for giving us this brief introduction to Tijuana !!!
It's funny that I never visit San Diego every time I go to TJ. I just stop by National City to get coffee on my way back from TJ.
@@2009polostar same here lol
Jesus Christ is the one true GOD
@@watchmanezekiel6068 no he isn't, bro... You are completely blind if you think that. Because God is against human sacrifice so therefore God will never replicate or emulate what he is against. And the prophets of the old testament said that it is an abomination to God to have the righteous die for the sins of the wicked. So they really couldn't have been a figure like Jesus that is condoned by God. God said the true Messiah would bring peace that would be everlasting.... To a point where all the nations would destroy all their weapons and turn it into tools used for agriculture to feed people with. So God said that the Messiah would bring peace...but Jesus spoke against this and said don't think that I came to bring peace. ... So he is already talking against what God promised,.... Therefore Jesus can definitely not be the true Messiah. Jesus said I have to come to bring a rod and a sword... Where in a household all five, three will be against two... Father against son and mother against daughter... In Jesus also said you have to hate your mother and your father and your brothers and sisters and your children and hate even your own life to be his disciple.... What kind of a Maniac says things like that? God would never send such a message... Your jesus is a hoax, bro.
@@watchmanezekiel6068 Son of god. God, Jesus, and the holy Spirit are all seperate. The Trinity was just another creation by the church. That other guy who replied doesn't know what he's talking about.🙄
This is one of your best videos yet. Very educational and insightful. Thank you
I truly appreciate that! 🙏
Fun video! I enjoyed the tour/inside info- haven’t been there in decades
Great content! Keep up the amazing work.
Saw you munching outside today while I was meeting my boss. We both recognized you but didn't want to disturb. XD Love the content hermano.
Great video! Love your storytelling style.
I appreciate it Billy! 👊
Thank you for mentioning the passport which is required to get your FMM (Tourist Permit) which is free for 7 days, but ensures your legal presence in Mexico. Many people aren't aware of the laws passed in 2015 nullifying the free zone.. Tijuana, all of Baja is truly a special place... A Baja adventure would be amazing content for your channel.. Nice work.. now I'm hungry.
Great video, thank you for the info! Food looks delisious!
Ah man, this was such an awesome video, Gareth! I visited the Mexican Riviera a little over 20 years ago but haven't been back to the country since. I would love to visit Tijuana, especially after seeing this. The food looks outstanding and it seems like a fun place to have an adventure. Looking forward to more, man!
Brings back many memories. The passanger tram wasnt around then. Very cool 2see the way it is today. Several changes since mid 90s and the turn. Stay well n safe, ty.
Oh, I bet! A lot has changed around this area since then, huh? Thanks for tuning int!
We took the blue bus across the border in the 90s
Been to Tijuana and I have to say the people there are so humble and so loving and the food is amazing I wish I never left
Just love your expression with the cheese. Priceless
Excited to see what you get up to in Mexico 🇲🇽😄
I'm looking forward to sharing these adventures. Thanks for following along!
17:30 “unsweetened donut” 😂😂😂 U funny bro keep doin ur thing, I like it bro 😂👌🏼
finally you made it bro! welcome ti TJ hope you enjoy everithing!
lmaaooo "you gotta try the chinese food at HK" dead
LOL, so messed up! 😂
💀💀💀
Hahahaha... Bottom line, it's a must visit! Better yet just go on Mileroticos and grab you an all nighter! 😁 safe, and they have poles in select hotels. 👌
Haha, you only fall for that once!
But go have a Caesar salad at Caesar's
😄
You guide is really good, he made very accurate comments about the city and the people.
amazing bro! I need to do this one day :)
God bless you all
Hebrews 13:2
Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Malachi 3:5
“Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.
Catholic Christianity is the dominant religion in Mexico, representing about 82.7% of the total population as of 2010.
I LOVE CHRIST, THEREFORE THE MEXICANS ARE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Being from san diego...jus go to chula vista you can see into t.j go to ib you can smell tj...mexico is a shithole country
@@jacobattias8401 especially those border town
@@jacobattias8401 IB smells delicious!
nothing amazing about tj bro
What an incredible and informative view of Tijuana; and it’s culture and food . And thank you for showcasing the human aspect of the divisive and polarizing wall. Your channel is one of my favorites!
There have been fences along the US-Mexico border for generations. Even the left routinely voted to fund those barriers. So why do some people tear their hair out over a wall? The same message. Stay out.
Used to go all the time in my teens for the drinking and dancing. Miss you Safari
Thanks for bringing us to the border into Tijuana.. That was one exciting trip🤗
Thanks for coming along for the journey! 😃
Nice, thanks for the update. I have not been through there since the mid 1980's; what a difference.
The guide was a super cool laid back guy , very professional , great content !! Dave at 55
True like a sales man I could not do it .I would torment the tourist. This is where the cartel killed a whole family . Can we buy land here?Do you know any good real estate agents .Oh no gringos can't own beach property . Do you know any good bodyguards .Oh no the police and body guards work for the cartel .what do recommended ?ah ah enjoy your tacos and when it gets dark .Go back home to America .thats safe
TJ is awesome for food and music. I lived in Rosarito for six years and hung out with my musician friends in TJ. Best veggie burger I ever tasted was in TJ. Art, music, food, but be generous because that's how you stay safe.
Un gran saludo desde Tijuana Baja California Mexico 🇲🇽 ♥
Gracias!
Very well done video! Thanks!
I'm late in watching this vlog but this is truly such an eye-opener with that high walled borders. But then Tijuana is such a nice and warm place of Mexico.
except for the cops who are always on the prowl to extort visitors. They're only warm and friendly after they've dipped into your wallet.
I think you did great by hiring a local to take you to good places. Thanks for showing the good side of TJ and Mexico, enjoying the food and the neighborhoods
Where does a guy hire a local for guidance around Tijuana?
Lo que nos quitaron los gringos son territorios mexicanos .
Y que vase a hacer, chillar toda tu vida? California estaria igual de gacha a TJ
De todas formas son nuestros y le duela a quien le duela y eso estará por verse
Crossing during commuter hours or on a Friday is a whole different game
Really? So around 10am would be bad?
Yeah, this guy makes crossing seem perfect hahah.. Had a good laugh on that one.
@@kelignz heading north from Mexico to the US, from Tijuana to San Ysidro yes you will spend probably three hours in line minimum
Took me 3 hours on a Friday evening couple of weeks ago 😪
@@CarpathiaRJ
Is that walking back across?
It was really cool seeing him at the Tijuana beach, as i’ve been there before. My entire family live in Mexico, mostly in Tijuana, and me, mom, and sister are here in the US along with a few other family members. I go to Tijuana with my grandparents every summer, and this summer I went to the Playas De Tijuana. It was pretty cool.
It’s funny when people are always surprised at how good Mexican street food is.
We are lucky here in San Diego to get to experience the best Mexican food in the nation. Thank you TJ.
Yes we are. I always love going to TJ for excellent Mexican food.
You know that the history of that type of marker goes back to Roman times. Before the Romans, there were no paved or cobblestone roads. So, when the Romans ventured into Europa they put those markers with the number of km to Rome (from newly found cities) and from Rome to their new cities and territories. That's why we have the say, "All roads lead to Rome." That type of marker is used all around the western world even today (as you can see).
Interesting, thanks for sharing that..all roads lead to rome..
Thanks for the history lesson!✌🏽
Love those little rid bits😊
Great vlog. Can't wait to see the rest of the trip. Can you post the costs for the tour and airBNB?
I have no idea how I found you’re channel but I started to love it specially that I started with a video of my beautiful Tijuana or la Tia Juana 😁
😍😅😅
Great video Gareth! I subscribe!
Omg as someone who’s been living in San Diego for 3 years and go to Mexico regularly (El Paso Tx border) I really need to go and visit TJ and see some different parts of Mexico !!!
Yes, this is a great weekend trip! Stay tuned for A LOT more tips on where to go and what to eat! 😃
If you live in San Diego CA. You should have already visit Tijuana. I am a transplant since 1986.☑️
I love mexico but i have not been there before
Lets goooo!!!! 🙂🙂 I used to to go twice a month for years when i was a kid....i live in sd

Just found you and currently binge watching. Like another comment I read, it so nice to see you assimilate so well to the culture. Safe travels bro
superb video on this border area---thanks!
I love the video!! Can't wait for the next one!! I was born in Tijuana and I've been in San Diego for almost 20 years, I am glad you are showing this side of Tijuana, the food, always a great service and awesome people, history, it has a lot to offer of course always taking the precautions needed, Thank you.
Thank you for tuning in Marisol! I can't wait to share more from our week here in Tijuana, so many uncovered gems in this city!! 😃
I need someone to take me to mexico i want to visit the country...
@@albertemerson9653 I think Humberto will be happy to take you, I do recommend a tour like this for someone that has never been to Tijuana, I am sure you heard how dangerous Tijuana can be specially for tourists, so if you want to go perfect but take precautions, take care and ENJOY THE TACOS!!! lol
Marisol@ Im desperately waiting to go Mexico I’m thinking to start from Tijuana 🇲🇽

Thanks for sharing your video. It’s been a few years since I’ve been down to Mexico (Mexico City). I travel a few times to El Paso, TX and i have been wondering what it’s like to walk across the border into Juarez for a day visit. Your video reinforced my adventure for my next visit. Food looks good.
Thank you for the post! Amazing content. Informative and you touched base with the culture and food. Much love. New Subscriber here
Great videos, keep up the good work ..
I have binged on your vidoes over the past year and loved every single one. I said to my husband, when watching one from a few years ago, that your style reminds me of Anthony Bourdain. The next video I watched, you mentioned him and how you like him too! Another great video here Gareth. The only thing that sucks is having to wait a week for the next one, but I know it will be worth it. Stay safe..cheers, from Toronto, Canada!
Thank you for talking so good of our town, people, culture and food! This is what we need to let people know we are GOOD people! Thanks again!
We know they are good people...
I used to go to Tijuana with my ex she is from Mexico but lives in San Diego but we would go over sometimes go eat drink chocomil (my favorite) see the sites and go shopping it was super fun
Thank you and I like the idea of having a personal tour guide. The food looks delicious.
This was an eye opener! 👏
It truly was, thanks for watching Tina! 👀
This is really cool! My parents were born there and a lot of my family is from there.

You have no clue what it’s like in Tijuana. Sex trafficking , murder , drugs , human trafficking, poverty . You are a typical entitled American who thinks everything is great.

Just look up how many people get kidnapped and their heads chopped off with chain saws . they even kill mormons
Hey Sue...word of caution...don't go with just a girlfriend or 2....the guys all clammered and want to take you in their cabs.....remember once your in their car your stuck!!! Just go for the day and stick close to tourist walking spots 🙏💜🇺🇸

Didn't know about this area before seeing your video. Nice congrats on making this for us to see. We probably are somewhere related Gareth, same last name :) grrr hungry now lol
You can say “Tia-Juana” because the city was named after a ranch back in the 19th Century called “Rancho Tia Juana”.
Haha, did you watch until the end? 😉
Well that and from the Tipai Ipai or Kumeyaay peoples of such the territory that called it a place near the ocean.
It was named after a woman I think.
@@jimmypadchuck
I think so, also. From what I remembered The Ranch was owned by A Woman named Juana, which is Joan in Spanish or a feminine name for John, who was so very much loved she was called “Tia” which is Aunt in Spanish. So that’s where the name “Tia Juana” comes from.
@@GarethLeonard
Not really, a long time back I read a story about A Woman named Juana who owned a ranch in that territory. That Woman was loved so much that she was called “Tia Juana”, or Aunt Joan in Spanish.
Tia is the Spanish Word for Aunt, and Juana is The Feminine Form of John in Spanish. Since Juan is John in Spanish, Juana must be Spanish for the name Joan.
I want to travel there more. I love culture and practicing Spanish of course!
I really enjoyed this video--especially since you got yourself a tour guide. I just went to Tijuana on Saturday and felt totally lost.
Thank you for sharing, very informative.
Waiting for the tacos! 🌮😍
Some people will never appreciate what they have untill they lose it.
Shout out to epidemic sound 😎 used that same tune in my Mexico trip video. Great minds … but this is my first video of yours and THANK YOU! Thinking about taking a trip down to SD then crossing over. This was informative 🙏🏾
How can we get in contact with Humberto? He was amazing! I would love for him to show us all these places as well! What a great video! I enjoyed watching it.

@@crownroyal6578 , I can be your tour guide if you like, I was born and raised here 50 yrs
I LOVE Norte Brewing! Great beer, great view. Doesn't matter that the town was named after Tia Juana, it's still Tijuana (no "a" after Ti). Didn't watch the following videos yet, but I hope you hit Telefónica Gastro Park. A couple more noteworthy gems are Verde y Crema on Revolución (right above Insurgente Brewing, also noteworthy) and Misión 19. Thanks so much for highlighting the town!

Thank you very much... now go watch the rest of it! 😂
Mmm hmmm, I did...worth it every time. Great first TJ video👌✌
I used to do your trip EVERYSINGLE DAY just to go to school, I’d have to wake up at 3 am to make it to school on time and that’s if I got lucky and it wasn’t crazy long. The border line that is. I’m not the only hundreds if not thousands of people cross daily for work and school like it’s no big deal. It’s so interesting to see how others perceive our daily lives as Novel. Makes me want to travel and experience everything the world has to to offer as well .
Respectful visitor & a worthy guest. Much class.
Great representation of what Tijuana Mexico can offer🙂
And this is only the beginning! 4 more episodes coming up! 😃
Do they still have the donkey show
Quite a nice area where you are staying. I love mex food. Are you doing more places after Tijuana? I had an unpleasant time during my first mex tour but I am willing to have another go because all my friends did enjoy their visit. Keep safe and enjoy!
Yes, it was the perfect location for us! Hopefully after this Tijuana series we will head south down Baja! 🇲🇽
Damn such a useful video! Thansk for sharing. its on the list 🌎😁
Wow love your videos so inspiring
Been there twice, both times was an adventure. Would’ve been great to have a guide. Have fun.

Man you take the biggest bites of food. Love the commitment and enthusiasm.
I know huh 😂 ,that food looked delicious 👍
Love the video thanks
I used to go to Tijuana every weekend as a Marine back in the late 80's. Revolution street was party central on the weekends! 1,000's, perhaps 10's of thousands of Americans would be down there. Marines, sailors, college students from SD, and tourists. Every discotech packed, with long lines to get in. I was a regular, and the security would bring me and my friends right in. Depending on the club, beers were 75cents to around 1.75$. My favorite club, Tequila Sunrise. Hotdog vendors everywhere, kids selling chicklets, beautiful college women. Concerts at their bullring. You could get a picture sitting on a horse painted up like a zebra for a dollar. There were indoor volleyball courts with sand floors, dancing on rooftops, just an absolute blast. In the 90's, we were banned from entering TJ because of gang cartels, and everything has changed. At the time, you entered TJ, by simply passing through a revolving fence, possibly the one you pass through early in the video before getting picked up. Parking was free, we simply walked in, no passport, no fees. You only entered the building with border patrol officers coming back into America. There would be hundreds of cabs waiting to pick you up, and they would load as many people as they could into the car and drive you the few blocks to Revolution Street. Great times! I didn't recognize anything in the video, it's changed so much.
That’s the way I remember TJ! I was a Marine at Camp Pendleton back in 1988. What a party! 🎉🎉🎉💃🏽
