    When I go to Tijuana, I like to… experience something new. I feel like there’s always something new and interesting to experience every time I’m there. There’s a perfect song for Tijuana: Tijuana Makes me Happy. I have long been captivated by the city and completely agree with everything you guys express about the city. You should see the wall from the other side in San Diego at Friendship Park. It’s not open very often, but it’s an amazing experience and really moving.

    • @TouristtoLocal

    nice you did a video on Tijuana, being from San Diego my first trips were in the 50's with my Dad. Coming from a devoured family my Dad would get me for the weekend and we would head to TJ. He would drop me of to play with his friends kids and he would head to the Bar. I didn't know it at the time but my Mom would head to TJ to go swing dancing. I stop at my Mom's always on my way to Mexico, in December. I stoped in TJ to get my Schipperke service dog's health book stamped, a must to fly, and she pulled out a Caesar's card from the 50's with the phone # 5-29-23 and the address 5TH and Main, yes before the street was renamed. On the back of the card is the original recipe for the Caesar salad. How cool is that. At this time I'm at Casa Marcado restaurant in Coatepec. Best Moli around, they even have a Moli Museum. Cheers, from the State of Veracruz....

    When I go to TJ I just like to immerse myself in the culture. You should have explored Playas a bit more. Walking down the streets there's neat little restaurants and coffee shops on every street. There's also a little gastro park about two blocks from wal-mart. Pee-Wee's ribs in playas is as good as anything you'll get.

Someone on the corner had turned their home into the best little coffe shop called aquelarre de cafe, and just down the street from that was a great taco place called taqueria el torito. And a thrifty ice cream place. Other than all the noisy dogs it was perfect. Noisy dogs are everywhere in TJ tho.
