Tj is NOT what it used to be and I would not recommend Ave Revolucion for shopping.
There is the newer section with a mall, which has a bakery of all bakeries.

The beaches and restaurants in San Diego are a better way to spend the day. Go to Old Town to practice your spanish.

Those Pueruto Nuovo lobster tails for $5.00 were small and you needed more then one to fill up. Years ago the restaurants were the fisherman's homes and the wife cooked up the meal and you sat in their kitchens.
