U.S. border crossing to Reynosa, Mexico. Reynosa is a town that has grown on the opposite side of town. They have an HEB, Starbucks, Home Depot, Peter Piper Pizza, 7-11's, and more. While there really isn't much to do here, you can drive over to Progresso and use a toll road. If you live here, there is a nice cineplex and some good Mexican restaurants. When crossing over you do see armed agents on the Mexican crossing section, but I feel this is for one's own protection. You see this at most country border crossing from Europe to the United States. Wishing all safe and happy travels! read more

This review is regarding crossing into the USA from Mexico. This particular border crossing is preferred by those coming from Monterrey as they can avoid the Reynosa traffic. There are fewer lanes than the Reynosa/Hidalgo crossing, but usually it is sufficient unless it is a Mexican holiday or a day when more shoppers from Monterrey are coming into the US. I prefer this particular border crossing because you don't have all the vendors and others accosting you as at the Reynosa/Hidalgo bridge. It is a more pleasant wait in line. Be prepared to wait in line, especially during peak hours. That's just the nature of international crossing these days. Around Christmas time it could take hours as so many shoppers are coming to the US. The border agents have a tough job as there are so many trying to sneak illegal things or people across. But they are there for our protection, generally do a great job, and deserve our respect. If you want respect, be respectful and answer their questions. read more

This bridge will cross you from USA to Mexico. You'll land in Reynosa Mexico where there are many manufacturing plants and factories. The concrete bridge is about a mile long and has a high fence on both sides. The bridge spans a river and a 20 foot tall cement boarder wall. You'll see a cool sign on the bridge that shows the actual point of the boarder crossing. read more
