My family and I did a day trip from San Diego and MULLME was our first stop. If you are a pop culture, superhero, wresting fan, don't miss this exhibit. Thank you so much!

The market was vibrant, colorful and fun. A local shop owner offered us a slice of whiskey soaked coconut and it was so delicious we bought a small chunk to take home. Also had some authentic and tasty Chile rellenos with rice, beans and tortillas. Due to COVID, restaurants took people’s temperatures and had a mat to sanitize shoes. Everyone wore masks as well. Since ours was a quick trip I didn’t get to look around much or buy souvenirs. But maybe next time! Some advice- bring your passport and allow plenty of time to get back to San Diego. The line up to get back through the border is long, slow and tedious. With lots of street vendors and men, women and children dodging traffic to try and sell you something. It took us 3 hours to get back to the border. Make sure to bring extra food, water and money with you. And make sure your gas tank is full.

Strolling on Avenida Revolucion is an experience every traveler to Tijuana needs to enjoy. It is amazing the variety of people and places, from world class restaurants to shops; from cafes to casinos; and yes, don't miss the zebra donkeys which will let you snap a pic for a mere $5.00! There are also a number of medical and dental clinics offering routine procedures at a fraction of the American price. And for your pharmaceuticals, there are tons of pharmacys offering over-the-counter and prescription meds and doctor's exams if you are not feeling up to snuff. Revolucion is pure fun! Start at Plaza Santa Cecilia where you will find shops and vendors of everything from clothes to silver; to knick-knacks and souvenirs. You will also find restaurants offering authentic Mexican fare and very reasonable prices. From the Plaza travel south and pass the zebra donkeys. After snapping the picture, do some window shopping. There are souvenir shops, leather goods stores, boutiques, bars, cafes, and tons of jewelry stores. Be sure to check out Emporium. It is well known to give the best bargains in quality silver jewelry and other unique items. We saw a beautiful, hand painted, hand carved wooden peacock among their art objects there. I should have grabbed it, but it would have been a lot to carry around town! Your stroll will take you by Caliente Casino, a small, fun gambling house that, while it doesn't rival Caesar's Palace, it does offer a very diverting gaming experience. After losing some money, you can walk a few doors more to Caesar's Restaurant and drown your bad fortune in any one of their signature cocktails and then taste some pretty fantastic food prepared in the old school style. Avenida Revolucion is where it's at in Tijuana, so enjoy your stroll.
