Why San Ysidro?

The San Ysidro Port of Entry processes more than 70,000 northbound crossings per day, making it the busiest border crossing in the Western Hemisphere. Whether you’re driving into Tijuana for a day of shopping, heading to Rosarito for the weekend, or starting a longer road trip down the Baja peninsula, San Ysidro is the crossing most travelers use—and Baja-Mex has been serving them here since 1974.
