This was a totally unexpected find as soon as we entered Playas. We arrived hungry and just as the…read moresun was setting over the sea. Margaritas, tacos....then a few more tacos and another margy and we were hooked. Located at the north end of the street with all the eateries it sits in a prime spot next door to the border wall and the stately lighthouse I view nightly from the other side. The food was good the drinks as well but it was the service that truly made our evening. Even with COVID restrictions in place the warmth and care from our waiter and his manager are what we will cherish most. (Especially because my friend had never been to Mexico.) On property they have tacos, wood fired pizza and a dessert bar (pictured) plus drinks and no trip would be complete without a pic with the golden cash cow out front, lol. Viva la Mexico! Mucho gracias

For those that don't know, "muro fronterizo" means border wall in Spanish…read more In all the years I've been partying in Baja California, this was actually the first time that I've been to the beach, on the Mexican side of the border. It was great seeing it from this side, as I've been to the same beach on the US side many times. The beach sand stretches for about 100 meters. The area was peaceful and not crowded, which was probably due to the pandemic restrictions. In fact, when we got to the area, the municipal police told us that the beach area immediately next to the border wall was closed to the public. The boardwalk starts a short distance from the border wall, and south of there, many shops and restaurants. There is a bull fighting ring nearby, and tons of artwork on and around the border wall. Parking is found along the border wall, or in a pay lot. You can also find parking along the street running parallel to all the shops and restaurants, but depending on the day and time, you might have trouble finding a spot. Overall, this place is chill. I got no bad vibes here, and people were very friendly. The only thing that stood out during our time here is that we got to witness some guy crossing the border illegally. He did it in plain sight, in broad daylight, and he got immediately arrested by the border patrol agents that usually sit nearby this place. There were tons of people taking photos and videos of the incident. So if the video I uploaded to Yelp doesn't satisfy you, keep an eye out on IG and FB. But on a lighter note, this is a pretty cool spot to check out. If you find yourself in Tijuana, make time to come here and hang out in Playas de Tijuana while you're at it.

The Mexico side of the border has nice murals and painting. It's a beautified "wall" and makes the…read morearea more scenic and picturesque. This is a great tourist location near the Tijuana Beaches. My eyes tricked me for a second with the mirage of the part where it was blue painted and blended with the water so it seemed like there was an opening to the other side. You can see the US side from here with border patrol and cameras. It's funny that the US side is so empty and the MX side is packed on the beach. You can see San Diego on a good day in the far distance.
