Good stop before Otay Mesa

Nookster - 9-19-2013 at 08:54 AM

Leaving back to the Ensenada area again tomorrow. I was there two weeks ago and crossed back into the U.S. at Tecate. They have a very convenient McDonalds there just before crossing to get a final bathroom break, breakfast burritos and coffee before getting in line. Is there a final convenient stop just before Otay Mesa similar to this? I want to give Otay a try when returning this time since I've never crossed there.

As you head west on Hwy. 2 (technically Blvd. Industrial), just before you exit right to join the line for "GARITA DE OTAY VEHÍCULOS LÍGEROS", there's a McDonald's on the right, next to the Last Chance Pemex :lol: If you want something a little less awful and you're headed for the Ready Lane, pass the sign for the Garita de Otay (go toward the airport and the C. Camionera instead), make your right turn on Vía de la Juventud Oriente, and then just as you turn right onto Alejandro Humboldt where the Ready Lane starts, there's El Negro Durazo. It's not the shining star of seafood in Tijuana, but it's a far better meal than Mickey D's.
