Shopping
Avenida Revolucion
A 10-minute stroll through stalls filled with blankets, baskets, pottery, hand-carved trinkets and toys takes you from the border itself to Avenida Revolucion, the world's most-shopped street. You'll find an eight-block strip of stores, stalls, arcades and underground passageways filled with bargains from all over the world. The atmosphere on "The Street" is always hustle in high gear, but ignore the hawkers trying to lure you into their shops. Browse at your own pace and places. From the finest Austrian crystal in sedately elegant stores to Indian women selling trinkets for pennies from sidewalk blankets, you'll be able to graze the gamut of Mexican bargains here.
Mercado Hidalgo
Most tourists never discover this Tijuana treasure, located just five minutes from the border. Mercado Hidalgo is a true Mexican mercado where locals buy their specialty items and produce, so everything is priced for locals. The mercado has the largest selection of pi atas in the city, an awesome variety of chilies, spices and Mexican candies, including unusual seasonal specialties made of Aztec grains, plus an intriguing collection of Mexican cooking utensils from hand-carved hot chocolate whips to tortilla shapers and griddles.
Plaza Rio
The closest thing Tijuana has to a U.S.-type mall, Plaza R!o boasts a large department store, one of the city's most modern supermarkets, several duty-free import stores, upscale leather shops and a number of boutiques. Electronics shops offer duty-free Japanese imports of all kinds, including watches.
Plaza Zapato
Another undiscovered Tijuana treat is its "shoe" plaza, a two-story enclosed mall specializing in shoes and boots for both men and women, along with upscale leather clothing and a saddlery for the horse-person who has it all. Shoe and boot prices here run about half those of comparable stateside footwear.
