Tianguis (Swap Meets), Tijuana, Playas de TJ, Rosarito


Any recommendations, experiences and ...?

And, yes, I have heard the jokes about if your car stereo system is stolen, you can buy it back at the local tianguis.

I enjoy the one in my neighborhood. Colonia Libertad's is every Monday. It's decent size, organized, many venders, and places to buy cooked food to go or sit down. New and used things. The 3 or 4 streets in the center of the Tianguis require seller permits. When you get to edges of the meet, as you walk uphill, you' find many people who set up small amounts of stuff from the house. These people skirt the permit area I think. It goes to about 3pm.
