If you live in San Diego and you do not have the best dental insurance HMO you do not have many different options, you have to look for an option or be willing to pay a lot for a dental service.

This is my experience in my first trip to a dentist in Tijuana Mexico, before I crossed the border I left my car in a parking lot that is only one block away from the border, next to the shopping plaza, open 24hrs, In addition, there are two more parking near, the prices between them does not vary much, in this link you can see the page of the parking lot where I leave my car.

Walking from San Diego to Tijuana
Taxis Tijuana
Crossing the border to Tijuana walking on the east side, which is the exit where the plaza is located, when leaving and in Tijuana you can see some options of local taxis, these taxis for what my friends have told me is not very reliable, besides that sometimes they want to take you to the dentists in Tijuana that they want, that they give you a commission for clients.

So I decided to take an Uber, with my own application it works in the same in Tijuana as in San Diego, so take advantage when I was walking to Tijuana request the Uber, there are many Uber waiting for people crossing the border, so it was very fast, as soon as crossing and being in tijuana my Uber was waiting for me.

The time I took the Uber to the dentist was 10 to 15 minutes, there is not much traffic, the dentist who had already contacted him by phone days before, is located very close to the border, so the cost of the Uber was $ 3.55 dollars, After that, very cheap compared to San Diego.

The return to the border was similar to the return, Uber cost me even cheaper, $ 3.27, the return I touch some line, but they were only about 20 minutes walking and I was back in San Ysidro.
