TJ has a very high crime & murder rate. A couple of weeks ago, a cartel caused a bug ruckus burning cars and causiing other disruptions. It was a pretty big deal. It hasn't been worth it for me to go there for several years. Last time I was there, I took my wife's car down for minor body work at Los Panchos. I walked across the border a couple of times, & the stairs to the bridge smelled strongly of piss. I used to spend quite a bit of time there years ago, but no more. There are better ways to spend your time in S.D.
