Dog question
I thought I read once there is a limit to the number you can bring into the country. When driving down how many do they allow?

Never heard of this at the San Ysidro border but my friends who drove thru an Arizona border town were told that if they had more than two, they would
have had to walk them one by one over the border.
Mexicans come up with solutions out of the box! LOL

The $300.00 USD by land duty free is per each person in the vehicle. I have been through that at Otay Mesa.

I drink Tecate and lots of it.
It is about 3 dollars cheaper for a 30 pack at Walmart in Calif than in Rosarito and 5 dollars cheaper than in Cabo. In our place in Rosarito, I
have about 20 in the refer and a 30 and 36 case next to the refer.
Sooooooo with you wealth and depth of knowledge, please enlighten me as to why one would not bring beer to Mexico.
I was looking for an answer not a lot of BS.

Yes, the third paragraph from the bottom of page #2. Beer is considered an alcoholic beverage so it reads up to three liters.
Heck that's only one evening of partying...for one person!!!
