This review is as of 09/25/2021. Saturday and Sunday border crossing times are 8am to 4pm. Monday through Friday it's 6am to 2pm (at least that's what I was told). Walking into Tecate is super easy. It took me about 5 minutes to cross in.They didn't ask me for my passport or identification. I placed my backpack through the scanner and that was it. Coming back into the U.S. took 3 minutes, the border agent took my passport, asked me my purpose for my visit and that was it. There wasn't a long line for cars driving back in. I would totally use this border crossing again.

Monday, December 16 @ 2:00 pm: I walked across the border with less than a two-minute wait. Border patrol was nice and courteous, and again, less than a two-minute wait back across to the US. I did have to scan and then show my passport to them upon departure. (I parked my car across the street from the border at Baja-Mex for 9 bucks USD.) After driving for about 10 minutes toward San Diego, I approached a mandatory border patrol stop. I had to show them my passport again. All-in-all, as long as you have your passport or acceptability legal documents, crossing here is quite easy.

When you cross the border from US to Mexico You have American customer to check you passport? Someone know that?

Marco Fastoso | Aug 25, 2020
dale sarver | Aug 25, 2020

When you go into mexico the US customs does not check. After you cross into mexico there are Mexican customs officers looking into your vehicle as you drive by. They occasionally stop vehicles and check to see if yoare bringing anything where you need to pay a duty tax. For example, if you have a pick up truck with a clothing washer they see in the back you may be stopped and charged tax.

I hope you understand english well enough to understand this: you need proof of citizenship to pass through the border. It doesnt need to be a passport, you can use a bith certificate if it says you were born in Puerto Rico along with a government picture ID. This will prove youre an American citizen.
