If you're crossing at Otay, the thing to do is to get a taxi and go straight to El Mazateņo.

Got a good laugh out of those afraid to walk to Revolution Avenue from the border. I have been crossing at least once a week and walking to Revolution
without a problem for the past 17 years.
A good restaurant with an excellent chef is right on the corner with the arch. It is called the Museum Restaurant with great old pictures of TJ and
alot of the local brew beer on tap, the chef ids first rate too!
My personal favorite is the Safari Club on 5th and Revolution, ask for Froy and try the Chicken Fajitas!

When I lived in TJ, I walked across the bridge to Revolution Avenue many times, day and night. It's a 45 minute walk to Revolution, and I always
stopped to pet the stray cat that lives next the night club there. I never had any problems, and there is always at least one police car stationed on
the bridge.

My issue is that it's a terrible introduction to a beautiful country. I don't get hassled (except by the aforementioned "evening professional"),
perhaps because I'm built like a brick chicken house, but it's a horrible, horrible walk and there's absolutely nothing on that walk that justifies
the long walk.

It's a chit hole, an eyesore, and relatively unsafe in off hours.

I gotta go with ray, the museum bar is a cool spot to just hang out have a few coldies and people watch. fun to look at all the old photos on the wall
too.
if the walk-in ain't your cup of tea take a taxi, but I always take the not-so-scenic route, makes you count your blessings! never had a problem but ymmv
