What should I take with me for safety on a visit to Tijuana, Mexico ?

@BeJeweled I’ve been to TJ several times as always, I would not hang on a street corner at 10 pm. I would be careful and ask questions of the Barkers…where to go, where to stay away. The locals don’t like crime anymore than we do. If they say leave TJ then leave. San Diego is beautiful, they just don’t have the real Mexican food like TJ. Be off the streets at sunset.. stay in your resort, don’t go further into Mexico. Great info on Facebook is “Talk Baja”. Check it out Don’t take any wooden nickels. Behave yourself and you shouldn’t have any problems

@Canicu69 I lived in San Diego years ago. That's where my daughter was born. I crossed the border several times to go to Mexican restaurants and site seeing. But wouldnt go now. Everyone has their own opinion and has every right to go if they wish, but I certainly wouldnt go back now.

@BeJeweled I love Mexico…never Hawaii, always Mexico. I know Cabo is much different. I have gone to Cabo for the past 25 years. I love the people, I love the food, it’s becoming very commercialized but still love it. I am going for 10 days Oct 10th …I go for the scuba diving and on occasion, fishing. I just don’t stay in Cabo, I go to San Jose, Cabo Pulmo, and La Paz. It’s all good. Love the food off the street vendors.

@Canicu69 Border state resident here. Be pleasant to the locals. Ask about areas to avoid. Situational awareness. Leave your weapons on the US side. The locals hate the crime too. Better yet, take a flight to a city in the interior. Aguas Calientes, Guadalajara and Monterrey are lovely and a lot safer than border towns.

@Crazywaterspring great advice. After 25 years visiting Cabo, Cabo Pulmo, and La Paz. We have many local friends in Cabo and enjoy each and everyone of them. They know what is going on in their neighborhood
