Crossed at Otay Mesa today

JZ - 10-27-2021 at 01:52 PM

Drove up from Ensenada to Otay Mesa. Pulled right up to the CBP agent with zero cars in front using the Sentri Lane. Time was a little after 10am. Took a bit longer than 1.5hr to drive up from Ensenada and cross the border.

Attached is a track and a couple way-points. You can just enter Otay Mesa Sentri into Google Maps and it will take you there. I choose to go up Blvd. 2000 to avoid most of TJ. The turn-off heading North is just past the huge Jesus statue.

The entry to the Senti Lane is at: 32°32'37.83"N 116°56'13.73"W.

I do the same route when I head home via Mex 1. Otay Mesa is almost always a short SENTRI wait.

I almost posted a question a couple days ago asking for advice
For about the last 5 years I've always used the 5.

Coming down I crossed at San Ysidro and took the scenic route. This pretty much avoided all of TJ and was super easy.

Otay is always a great option with Sentri. We did it recently at 7:30am on a Monday. I think we waited a whopping 11 minutes.
