If you have friends/family with you take one of the many cars waiting by the parking lots. They will take you all the way to your destination in TJ for $10 a person. You can also take an Uber into TJ. If you decide to take a car, leave your car at the San Diego airport and rent one from the many companies. They will charge around $45 for Full coverage insurance but at least you don't have to risk taking your own car. Parking on the US side will cost around $8- $12 per 8 hour depending on the lot.

While Tijuana is in the free zone, if you are going south or east of Nogales, they have secondary inspections around 20 miles into the country, which are the equivalent if not More stringent than US immigration at their canada/mexico border crossings (due to thee requirement of an FMM). Getting into a border town is easy, getting into Mexico is still plenty cumbersome.

This is so very different from when I crossed around 1988. Back then, you simply went through one turnstile and you were done. No immigration building, no one checking passports or ID, nothing. Once you were through, there was a short walkway to where the taxis were. The walkway was lined with little kids selling cheap candy and singing La Bamba, essentially begging for tourist money. I found it very depressing. On the way back into the USA, they checked my passport and let me go, but then (and I swear I'm not making this up), stopped me again and asked me what my citizenship was. Yes, they did that after reviewing my passport and letting me go.

when crossing into Mexico , if you already have your permit or visa active to travel to Mexico you don't have to go to the right lane , specially when there are a lot of people waiting , usually you can get a visa permit for 6 months , i don't know the price right now , probably 40 to 50 dollars ? And they have a rule that you have to pay in Mexican Pesos / they do have a money-exchange there but it's better if you have the pesos already with you / u can get more for your dollares in San Ysidro in any money-exchange place - or they are called Casa De Cambio - / i cross every day walking and sometime in car , if you have any questions reply in my comment and i would do my best to answer them .
