This review is for Baranca Road; the roadway that allows vehicles access between the main and…read moreairfield part of the base. It's also 3 1/2 miles (more or less) of a rolling paved trail perfect for either jogging, walking with or without pets (as well as wheelchair accessible), etc. It's near the main road ico visabilty while also enjoying the natural surroundings of the area. I bring a water source, snacks and wear sunscreen and use it before noon, but that's just me. Currently, the base is restricted to essential employees, housing residents and authorized RV'ers. Consider checking it out if you are able.

I have to come here for work when representing clients in SSI and SSDI cases. The waiting area…read moreabsolutely sucks as you have to be seated at all times or otherwise go outside. Difficult when you need to speak with you clients, especially if it's 120 out or it's windy and cold. One redeeming grace is the older Hispanic security guard who makes your wait tolerable, cracking jokes and very funny. Don't expect to go in and out tho.

Everything! Was just flagged on through. I was super nervous having never been through one. Even…read morethough I had nothing to worry about, it was still nerve wracking but easy!

This was one of the easiest checkpoint stops we've ever been stopped. We didn't even have to come…read moreto a full stop. With a US plated car, we were waived right on through. Excellent! Easy 5 stars.

Crossed into Mexicali from Calexico (West POE) and back into the US via the East gate yesterday…read more I've gotta say, the East POE is much faster and less complicated overall. Especially if you're using the SENTRI lane. We crossed at 2:30 PM on a Wednesday and it couldn't have been easier.

The station was closed on the day we came here, however the parking area was nice. There were some…read moreinformational signs about the area. It was definitely hot (came in August) and there was a ton of sand. The US - Mexico border wall is visible from the roadway and there were tons of fat lizards!

Omg not sure why the general goes so slow , I been waiting…read morefor 2 hours is insane no reason why there shouldn't be two lanes open! It's ridiculously how trying to get from Mexicali into border gate such hassle either, with all the high technologies and screening of applying for passport they still make it difficult! My mother is elderly and needed to use restroom and we waited for 31/2 hours.

I got impatient waiting for an appointment at one of the San Diego locations to complete my Global…read moreEntry interview. I had two choices- both about 2hours away. I chose this location over LAX preferring the open desert roads to OC/LA traffic. I'm glad I paid attention to the written directions to get to the office. There were signs, but it was still unclear in a few areas. The instructions provided in the confirmation were correct. From San Diego take I-8 East to CA-7 South to the Port of Entry. Exit on Carr Rd (International Border/Cars) then turn right at top of the bridge. Turn left before the last U.S. exit and proceed to the security booth. It's that left that feels really weird to make, but I trusted the directions and it took me there. The guy just needed my drivers license at the gate and told me where to park. I was in and out within about 15min. Have your paperwork ready to hand over when you check in- I needed employment/income information, rental agreement/lease, and passport. A pic, some fingerprints, and a few questions and I was on my way back to SD with an approved application. My appointment was at 9:20 and I was able to make it there and back to SD before noon.

Lots of trucks and watch out for the highway patrol - they wait in the middle dirt divider and give tickets (I have seen them do this many times).
