Tecate border crossing question.

I am driving up from Cabo this Friday or Saturday and am planning on crossing the border at Tecate. What are the directions to the border once I hit Tecate. Thanks

From which direction do you plan on hitting Tecate....HWY 3 or the Toll/free road back from BLVD 2000?

From the Ensenada road.

Here you go Bob... No matter which way you come into Tecate, the U.S. border access road is on the east side of town off the free Mexicali highway.. well signed:



===========================================
Coming north from Ensenada or Hwy. 2-D central Tecate exit... Fork to right, on blvd. along train tracks... big McDonalds is across the blvd. ahead if you went straight.

If you miss this turn, continue ahead to the town plaza/ park and turn right at the far corner (free Mexicali highway)!



Fork left here, driving away from the train tracks (San Diego & Arizona Eastern Railroad, originally):



"Trafic Circle" with trees and stop signs (be sure to make a full stop, police may be watching). Go to right, east from circle:



Turn left a short distance east of traffic circle for U.S. Border:



A look west along the border:



Remember, Tecate border is not open 24 hours! 5am to 11 pm, last I recall.
