El Buzo is a must for the tuna steak or camarones diabla. La Curva. Chef Mickey’s is fine dining on Fremont, but many people have never been there. Mary’s Lis Pavorreales (a ranch out near Islas Del Mar https://www.facebook.com/lospavorrealesrest/ Infusion del Golfo at Laguna Shores (near fine...

I found out this morning I had to drive to my new house in Flagstaff to meet a contractor. Hit the Sonyota city limits at 9 am exactly. I did not see a single cop. I met Brokenwave for the first time last night. My experience with my retirement accounts in recent months has been very...

Chef Mickey’s. He’s great. During the shutdown he would personally drive dinner out to us.

I went north through Lukeville the day Trump visited the border wall in Yuma and had a CBP agent give me enormous crap about traveling before he inevitably let me in. He was really ugly. A couple minor ones around the same time. Recently very nice. We have a house guest in Arizona who...

I went down on Thursday and came back yesterday. No problems and minimal police presence both trips.

I drove back north yesterday and went through at about 8. For maybe the first time I saw no traps and no one pulled over. I saw two nice state police cars pulling into a parking lot and a decrepit local car driving around on some task.

I went through at 8 am today heading north. Approaching town I was by myself. So I pulled over 10 km outside and waited until a convoy of cars traveling 80 mph passed me. I pulled in behind them. Immediately before the hill with the 40 kph sign at top they all slowed down to 20 mph and...

1000 pesos is $50.

I take both of these routes. My wife prefers Mexicali, I prefer San Luis. We’re both SENTRI so the crossing takes about 5 minutes. Prior to that I routinely spent 90 minutes in line at San Luis. Some people swear by Algodones. The one time I did that heading north I spent an hour in line...

My theory is that every reasonable impression in this thread is accurate. My favorite times to go through Sonyota is when it’s really busy and there are volunteer idiots flying through and drawing all the attention. When no one is around I crawl extra slowly and have the video running on my...

The third and most popular option is to buy a new pickup truck still with dealer tags, drive it down here with no insurance, and then get it stuck in the mud at low tide. The salt water would damage the engine, doors etc when the tide comes in, except they will be in a garage somewhere before...

I went to Max’s for breakfast this morning. It’s likely I saw more visitors than any time other than spring break of last year, just as the shutdown was beginning. Half of the Can Ams in Arizona were queued up at the Pem Ex by the windmills. I took one look at Calle 13 and decided not to go...

We’ve been back and forth 20 to 30 times, most recently 3 times in past two weeks. We’re legal residents of Mexico and don’t expect to see any problems. What was bad was when Puerto Peñasco was in lockdown and we couldn’t leave without being restricted from re-entering town.

Headed south mid afternoon yesterday. The line to get into Mexico was two miles long. Once I was in, no problem. Saw one trap lurking a half mile in. Took the bypass across the bridge. As I was approaching the main road, I saw a car go by, obviously speeding, with an illuminated cop car...

Half the finished houses in Islas Del Mar have solar panels. 2 went in last week. I’m done with CFE.

Went south just before sunset yesterday. Two Pima County cars trapping Ajo and two traps in Sonyota. No problems.

Yes. I find this forum much nicer after ignoring 5 or 6 posters, most of whom have never posted anything useful about Rocky Point.

Yesterday morning 4 cars heading north passed me really fast at about km 4. I decided I would let them spring any traps. But, immediately before cresting the hill they all slowed to 15 mph. The five of us crawled into view of radar traps on each side of the road, and a third cop car...

So I guess there is no missing the trap on the south of town.

Could someone post a map showing the route of this bypass? I have to drive through Lukeville tomorrow heading north.
