Nothing is ever as black or white as loud people with power and caché would lead you to believe. I love Tijuana. Great food, great people, great prices on healthcare and dentistry. Sure it definitely can be dangerous but like everywhere it is mostly wonderful.

MODERATORS
At least 2,297,000 people have been to Tijuana on the account of living there. I hope we have some of them here on Lemmy to confirm/deny what's the current situation there.
Cartel violence is no fucking joke but it rarely makes it's way into tourist centers where the death of foreign nationals can cause serious crackdowns and economic interests want to keep the foreign money flowing in.
I went there in the 90s
Walking around after dark was a little sketchy.
My buddy and I almost got mugged but thankfully the guy thought we were Marines and we told him our other buddies were right behind us.
Otherwise it was a fun adventure.
The bars would give you free drinks left and right when you payed in US cash.
