Walk back down Constitucion, take a right on Sixth Street and walk two blocks to Madero. If you're wanting a quick drink before you head back, check out Dandy del Sur, Zebra Bar or Mezcalera on Sixth between Revolucion and Madero. Dandy is open all day. The other two open around 5.
If you're adventurous and open-minded, the sort of person who thinks of herself as more of a traveler than a tourist, you'll have an amazing day. Tijuana is astounding, there's no place like it anywhere, and it's really a shame that everyone is as terrified of it as they are. Hype and ignorance are to blame. If you have any interest in coming to see it for yourself, even if it were less than 50/50, I highly recommend going for it. Just be smart and respectful.
Best,

Hi Derrik, Just wanted to thank you for all the recommendations and information. It made the trip totally doable in the short time I had to plan and execute it. It was completely last minute, but everything worked out just fine.
The Serrano exhibit is wonderful, totally worth it. After the art, I found and ran through the market with no problems then took a cab to Erizo fish market for some of the best ceviche I've ever had (scallop/mangoit was perfect). The grilled octopus taco was also fabulous, as was the frozen margarita. The restaurant called a cab (cost was double the price, but I was pressed for time) and took me to the Arch. I did a quick run down Revolucion, turned at some point, saw an old church, then came back up Constitucion. I got to the line for the border around 3 and was back at my hotel by 5, just in time for my 6pm train to LA. It was a super quick trip, but worth the effort. Thanks again, cheers, safe travels and all the best, Jennifer
