So last year I went to La Ventana through TJ and somehow ended up getting my FMM card way the hell over by the airport. (Was my first time.) It
worked fine but I ended up paying a cab driver to follow him in my van to go find the place. My Portuguese didn't work as Spanish I guess. This time I
would like to try and go through the Tecate entrance as I have heard it can be a bit easier to navigate and just out of doing it differently my second
time. Has anybody done it this way before? Is it really easier to navigate? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

...would have helped to ask the cab driver for a price first. 
...or offer him 50Ps,, and he would have pointed at the one in front of you

Very easy and there are threads on here you can search on. You cross the border and if given the green light, the office is on the right but the
first street to your right is a one way so you need to go down the hill, right turn, then another right, then another right and come back up to the
border. Usually a guy will come out and move a few cones for you to park on the left. And even though the office is just to your left, you need to
cross the street, turn left, thru the turnstiles, and then left back across the street to the office. Sounds like a mess but really quite easy.

Tijuana has FMM cards easy - there is no need to drive anywhere.

In my opinion if you cross at Tecate it's less stress to just park on the USA side and walk across and it's just on the right. The only problem is
now you must walk back across to the USA in the pedestrian line to get your vehicle.
Takes a little longer but much less stress if parking is a problem at the Immigration office.

I've seen this done recently with a friend who needed a FMM.
Don't know about parking on the US side or crossing the border into the US.
I do know that crossing into Tecate, turning right and going around the block, puts you in front of immigration and there is parking there. It's
not difficult and isn't a problem. For a first timer, you will then think this was easy!
Same ease as TJ. Pull over and park. Get the paperwork.
