or even worse than SY, maybe worse.
On another note, despite the wonderfully rich history of the brewery, after major international consolidations in the beer industry, Tecate beer sold
in the US is brewed in Monterrey. Beer brewed in Tecate is sold in Mexico. |
...Tecate produces 3.2 million barrels of beer annually,
most of which are exported to the US;
Monterrey produces 6.6 million most of which is exported worlwide... Tourists are welcome to visit the Brewery for a guided tour and to enjoy a sample
the export quality beers produced locally. Local brewery workers enjoy ONLY export quality beer at the Brewery's Club House (Casa Social) and
non-workers (we) never pass the opportunity to say yes when invited by a someone that works at the factory ...

entering Tacate from the US

Check out a can. The Tecate sold in the US is brewed in Monterrey.

I agree THAT THE LINES IN TECATE ARE REALLY REALLY LONG and that the CHUPACABRAS ARE KNOWN TO ATTACK AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT and that IT IS A SPECIAL
CLIMATE ZONE WHERE TEMPERATURES CLIMB TO 120' DURING THE WINTER AND WORSE DURING THE SUMMER and EVERY AMERICAN CAR AND TRUCK IS PULLED INTO SECONDARY
FOR A FOUR HOUR "INVASIVE" SEARCH..............
Right?

the tijuana/san ysidro border crossing wait has become quite short since they opened the new lanes/booths, as long as you avoid peak commute times.
that detour inland to tecate really sucks, is a extra miles and now a lot of extra time! the coastal toll road is a very relaxing ride.
dont worry, be happy!

Gate hopping
Never parked on the MX side in the fifty's because border closed at 11:00 and the bars didn't close until well after midnight. Park on US side and
just climb over the gate when it's time to go home. Very seldom did US Customs come out of their trailer and do more than shine a flashlight at us
(but driving back on old highway 8 was a very dangerous thing after drinking all night).
