Visited Tijuana for 12 days. Solid experience. Scene is active. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $97/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. Solid destination.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.
