TJ is definitely rough around the edges and run down and seedy in lots of places. However, there are some nice spots. Rosarito is a nice beach area, with a lot of ex-pats, but it's about 30 minutes away. They have a few nice shopping malls filled with nice restaurants that would be similar to what's in the U.S. Galerias Hipodromo and Plaza Rio are two of them. galeriashipodromo.com They have Cinepolis V.I.P. which are fancy movie theaters with reserved leather reclining seats and waiter service at your seats. They also have CECUT, which is their Art & Cultural center, that is nice. cecut.gob.mx
TJ has an upper class that likes to live the good life. They have a golf course/country club that is nice: campestretijuana.com Surprisingly, TJ's dining scene has really gained attention in recent years. There are a lot of high end restaurants, with well known chefs, that have gained international acclaim. independent.co.uk
So, while not a lot, yes there are some nice parts to TJ. Also, some of the Caliente Casinos and sports books around town are very nice, as nice as ones in Las Vegas.

I am sure there are, city as big as San Diego, with four universities and a great deal of public art. Mexico is a justifiably proud country.
They are now among the community of nations which no longer practices capital punishment.
