Otay Mesa

@devl_dawgg

As far as I know Uber drivers can drive/take you into Mexico.

However most tuscl members recommend to walk across the border because it is faster with less hassle, and take a taxi or the limo to Hong Kong.

The “Hong Kong Gentleman’s Club” is one mile west of Ped East and the Otay Mesa is 7 miles east from Ped East.

In my humble opinion and limited experience the Ped East is your best fastest option,

Yes, it's usually faster to cross at Otay because most people walking across take the trolley down to San Ysidro:

As far as Uber is concerned, I remember a few years ago that there was some serious bad blood between taxi operators and Uber drivers. Don't know if that ever got resolved, so you may get some drama. By way of comparison, a taxi ride from that hotel to HK will be about $20.

The pedestrian crossing into Mexico is almost always fast and easy. However, you might be asked to buy a $30 180-day visa. This requirement seems to vary.

More difficult is crossing back into the US. I am in line now and expect a 90+ minutes wait.

^ Google says:

“Pedestrians crossing into Tijuana at the San Ysidro crossing need to complete a Mexico Visitor's Permit (FMM ‒ FREE if the trip is 7 days or less and you cross by land) and present a passport. The FMM is a simple form, you can acquire one at all land border crossings.”

“If you travel beyond the 22 miles/35 km "free zone" after crossing a land border into Mexico you will need to pay a fee of around US $22.“

Google information is pre Covid-19. Boots on the ground say different. Also, things are going to change again in November.

Thanks for the info!

Is this near Otay Panky?
