Revolucion , the main drag is a short walk from the border and no big deal during the day. Drinking There are reasons to go to Tijuana besides the alcohol , but I can't really think of many right now. Don't try to order anything fancy - the choice comes down to margaritas or Coronas. They usually serve a watered down shot of cheap tequila with every beer, too. Usually you can get two for one beers and two for one margaritas.
Prices vary per day and establishment.
However, don't plan on splitting. If you have two people and you each want one Corona, you can't ask for them to bring you just two Coronas. Since they're two for one, they'll bring you four Coronas. They pretend they don't understand so don't even try it. Just drink your beers and remember how much you'd be paying in the states for just one.
