Tecate Port Of Entry
The Tecate Port of Entry is one three ports of entry in the San Diego–Tijuana metropolitan region. The land port is located between Tecate, California in San Diego County's Mountain Empire and Tecate Municipality in Baja California. It connects California State Route 188 with Paseo Lázaro Cárdenas, a spur of Mexico Federal Highway 2, as well as Federal Highway 3 to the south.

This is attributed in part to the fact that reaching the crossing on the US side requires driving on narrow, winding mountain roads.

The current historic border inspection station (where pedestrians continue to be inspected) was built in 1933; this building was list ...
