Living in AZ when I drive to Tecate I have crossed at San Luis and driven to Tecate via Hwy 2 toll road. You could spend the night in Mexicali. Or
stay on I8 and stay in Calexico and then take hwy 2 to tecate. Driving down the road to tecate of off I8 has a bunch of switchbacks and it can be
kind of slow. Costs a bit more to take the toll road, but it is a beautiful drive

Thanks to all. To DesertCpl- I haven't been to Algodones. Is there a parking area on the US side? I've been spoiled at Tecate ie parking is about 1/2
block from the immigration office and payment is made about 100 ft from immigration. Does anyone know the hours that the Algodones office is open?

sorry about the delay, didnt see your reply until now
about Algodones, the answer is yes, big secure parking lot right on the border, just walk across and Immigration is right inside the gate, and a bank
to pay just next door,
also just down the same road on the US side is the Cocopah
Resort and Casino

not really sure, its not a regular bank as you might think,
its a walk up window, its used as a cambio also for the locals
but its easy to spot,

Volcano
We stayed there last Nov.
Nice place with a good price
I don't have the phone number but there was only us and one other couple
staying the night so reservations shouldn't be an issue
The casino up the hill is about the only real restaurant around
sold out and got out !!!
