About
About this crossing
The Tecate crossing joins Baja California's mountain brewery town with the small community of Tecate, California, in the high country between Tijuana and Mexicali, near the Rumorosa grade and the Valle de Guadalupe wine route. It is the quiet option of the region: few lanes, small-town pace, and waits that rarely resemble San Ysidro's or Otay's. That makes it a favorite for travelers between the wine country and Southern California, though its operating window is shorter than the big ports'.
