One of my coworkers was born in Tijuana and goes back there from time to time, once even inviting me to go with him. He has said it’s a nice place to visit. I’ve had family members and friends say similarly about it. My uncle always talks about how good the tacos were when he was stationed in San Diego in the US Navy.
It’s also a big spot for college students to go for spring break.
If anywhere in Mexico is safe, Tijuana is one of the safer places to be.
It has its issues as any big city does, but not to the extent of the other areas that deal with lots of cartel violence. Part of that has to do with tourism and it being so close to the border with the US. A lot of cartels are also very aware of tourism and how it negatively impacts them if they make trouble for tourists with negative publicity and heightened risks from both the Mexican and US governments, at least to US citizens touring there.

My buddy did twenty years in the Navy. One of his early postings was in San Diego, and he would complain about having to be officer of the deck (or similar… I forget the exact term) over the weekend and constantly having to go retrieve hungover E2 and E3 sailors from the Tijuana jail.
