The Tijuana city it’s waiting crossing the border from San Diego, since 1889 has been growing and in the different neighborhoods of the city you can find different kind of tacos. The taco can be adapted to the occasion and the hour of the day. Early in the morning the mexican breakfast  it’s the birria taco, the crispy tortilla and all the toppings ad layers of flavor. At the lunch time go easy and pick a classic, asada tacos with guacamole and a few drops of lime. The taco also lives into the restaurants some good ones will make something really new but familiar. This day trip also includes a craft beer tasting, in Baja California we have the best ones of Mexico. To finish in the night the diner should be a adobada taco previous to start a party in a mexican cantina. Come join us to eat mexican food  Maybe start a new weak it’s too hard, nobody want to go back to the job when you have been resting a few days, but the Taco Tuesday it's a light of hope, in Border Tour we believe the mexican food and especially a good taco can make a boring day into something extraordinary simply the best part of a trip.

    Great experience from someone who loves their job

    It was great Anwar all of my questions took the time to break down things for me and answer other unrelated history questions

    Tadeo was awesome!

    Tadeo was the best guide! He made our trip seamless and he communicated well for the meetup. He is extremely knowledgable. He took us to the taco places that the locals eat at. Every bite was bursting with flavor and we had plenty of time to shop and see a few sites as well. Border Tours also accommodated us very well because we had to be back across the border earlier in the day. 100% recommend this tour. Do not hesitate, book it now.

    Heartless

    Unfortunately, I had a car accident on my way to the tour. The guide could see the accident, but she still charged us full price. She did not give us any money back. I called the tour company. They told me it was us to the driver. How heartless.

    Worth every penny

    Carlos was amazing! Taught us a lot about each pocket of TJ we visited and the tacos were some of the best best we ever had.

    Taco Tuesday Hop to Tijuana from San Diego: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Diego.

    How much does Taco Tuesday Hop to Tijuana from San Diego cost?

    +

    Prices start at $83 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Diego usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Taco Tuesday Hop to Tijuana from San Diego take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Diego is not rushed.

    Is Taco Tuesday Hop to Tijuana from San Diego worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 132 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Diego, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Taco Tuesday Hop to Tijuana from San Diego?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Taco Tuesday Hop to Tijuana from San Diego suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Taco Tuesday Hop to Tijuana from San Diego?

    +

    Around 46 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Diego can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Diego and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Taco Tuesday Hop to Tijuana from San Diego start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Diego within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in San Diego?

    +

    San Diego is an outdoor-first city: whale watching from December through April, La Jolla kayak and snorkel runs year round, harbour cruises and the USS Midway, plus Balboa Park museums when the marine layer sits low. We rank water operators on group ratios and gear quality, which is where the cheap La Jolla trips fall down. On Outty we rank every San Diego experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include USS Midway Museum Admission: Valid Any Date, Taste of Little Italy in San Diego, San Diego Whale Watching Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit San Diego?

    +

    March to May and September to November, either side of the June overcast. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in San Diego?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Taco Tuesday Hop to Tijuana from San Diego?

    Included: 1 Local Personalized Guide; Lunch - 1 Taco of Sea Food Mexican Style; Food and drinks; Round Transportation; and Breakfast - 1 Taco of Birria (Best Mexican Breakfast). Not included: Souvenirs; Tip for Local Guide; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Taco Tuesday Hop to Tijuana from San Diego?

    +

    +

    +
