Dangers & annoyances
If you’re not looking for trouble (and it’s there, no question), you’ll probably be fine. ‘Almost free, ’ ‘Cheaper than Wal-Mart!’ and other invitations are best answered with ‘no necesito’ (I don’t need it).
Don’t drink on the streets or carry drugs without a doctor’s prescription.
Coyotes and polleros (both mean ‘people smugglers’) congregate along the river west of the San Ysidro crossing. After dark, avoid this area and Colonia Libertad, east of the crossing.
