You should consider yourself fortunate, I know several people who have
been turned around for trying to bring meat across the border in the last few months.

That's good to hear.
I still wish someone would take a pic of that sign, so we can see what it says.

Yeah...me too. And if it's on the US side, is it printed in forty languages? Some days, I only converse in Esperanto.

X2. My answer is always "food". Never had the freezer opened. My last run south was November.

the sign is not a comprehensive list, what good will a pic of a sign do you?
here is the website with info on importing live animals and products of livestock and agricultural.

I used to visit and eat regularly at a local ranch here. I would always ask what type of meat was on the table and the answer was always "carne" so,
with all the cows in abundance, I assumed it was beef.
One day while chatting someone mentioned mountain cat being good to eat and I said, quite aghast that I would NEVER eat any type of cat. My friend
just looked at me sort of funny like with a grin on his face. I finally got him to admit that some of that "carne" had been just that as well as other
animals. I stuck with rice and beans from that point on. Uggg.

I take it you have not been to the ranch in Asuncion where they raise and serve Burro. They figure that the burros do a lot less damage to the desert
that goats. From everyone who has gone there, they all loved the meals, especially the ribs. Guess it all depends on how hungry you get.

I was bringing down a couple of cases of Coors Lite for a friend, when asked about what I was bringing in I replied "I have 2 cases of beer" and
pointed at the beer. The guard looked at it, smiled and said "no you don't" and waved me on...

No meat or fruit going South isn't always enforced but the ''law'' has been around awhile. I've been asked at the GN checkpoint if I had any, then
the guy boarded my RV to check. $700? That's crazy.

F*ck it.

I don't remember if it is FUD or KIR brand chorizo, but the first ingredient printed on the wrapper is COWS SALIVARY GLANDS. BON APPETITE

I shop in San Diego and drive to my house in Playas crossing in SY. There are a variety of items we choose to buy in MX and a variety we choose to
buy in USA. USA cheese, coke zero, whiskey/scotch, ham steaks, sausage, things like blueberries and speciality items like for making Thai food I buy
on the US side. Eggs, chicken, most meat, bacon, fruits and veggies we buy on the MX side. I do this every week for nearly 2 years now.
I've been stopped by the MX red light several times and just say "dispensas" and never had a problem.
