This border town is an easy and safe crossing into Mexico. Many cross the border to have dental work done at a fraction of the cost in the US, myself included. The town is not pretty, in fact I often feel sad for those that cross the border and feel this is a good representation of Mexico, because it is not. It is a product of the demand of tourism and lacks the craftsmanship and artistry that is typical of Mexico. Sure, you can get your Kalula cheaper, the Agave syrup is also less expensive and there is no shortage of cheap Mexican silver. But you will not find the beautiful silver that is unique from all the masses and the art is missing, even the rugs are low quality. The people are friendly and the tortillas are good but like most border towns, this is missing the heart you find deeper in the country.
