How many crossings are there (two?). Is one a faster route through Mexicali than the other?
I'm meeting someone from Mexico right when we cross. They are coming up from Sonora. Anyone know of a decent motel close to the crossing on the
Mexico side?

Yes, 2 crossings...East and West. I've always entered through the West and when going north, I come out the East. Not sure when going south if one is
faster than the other. The West does seem a lot busier than the other, though.
Can't help ya out on the hotel issue.... I've never stayed there, just passed through.blackwolfmt - 4-13-2014 at 11:54 AM
My bro's say to use the east one if you don't have to stop in Mexicali for any goodssteekers - 4-14-2014 at 05:37 PM
Use Calexico East going and coming right now as there is construction at the West entry and traffic gets backed up bigtime in the afternoon. The East
has 1-2 SENTRI lanes, 4 lanes needing your RFID passport card, and 2 regular lanes.
in the late afternoon/eve there is usually not much of a line. Give a report to us of your wait time.ehall - 4-14-2014 at 05:46 PM

West, only 2 lanes that aren't sentri or medical. Both lanes were moving at the same speed. No wait at all on sentri lane.sancho - 4-15-2014 at 10:51 AM

Since your friend is coming from Sonora he must be coming to Mexacalli via San Louis Rio Colarado and the east crossing would be the most convenient
place for him to meet. Ditto for you if you are coming from anywhere east of Calexico.JZ - 4-15-2014 at 04:05 PM
Yes, they are coming up that way. I'm staying at the Holiday Inn at the border before crossing in the AM to pick them up.
Hopefully they'll be able to find some place to stay near the East boarder on the Mexico side.
