El Popo Market

Reviewed By kodachrome_photoart

The market was vibrant, colorful and fun. A local shop owner offered us a slice of whiskey soaked coconut and it was so delicious we bought a small chunk to take home. Also had some authentic and tasty Chile rellenos with rice, beans and tortillas. Due to COVID, restaurants took people’s temperatures and had a mat to sanitize shoes. Everyone wore masks as well. Since ours was a quick trip I didn’t get to look around much or buy souvenirs. But maybe next time! Some advice- bring your passport and allow plenty of time to get back to San Diego. The line up to get back through the border is long, slow and tedious. With lots of street vendors and men, women and children dodging traffic to try and sell you something. It took us 3 hours to get back to the border. Make sure to bring extra food, water and money with you. And make sure your gas tank is full.

Reviewed By Markclo1 - San Antonio, United States

A beautiful beach, some great views of the Coronado islands in the distance. There is a good path to walk on right next to the beach, and you can find some good restaurants with some amazing fish tacos. The crazy thing is seeing the border wall go right through the southern border and disrupt the entire coastline. Its interesting and sad to be down at the beach and see the impacts of the wall, the whole time we were at the beach we could hear the sound of border control helicopters flying over. A beautiful but sad place
