I took the shuttle from Phoenix for $55, and it dropped me off down the street from my casa, which is perfect. It takes me about four hours to drive door-to-door from my condo in Mesa. The shuttle leaves from West Phoenix and takes about the same time. The USA van takes you to the border, and you walk across, and the Mexican van is waiting. It works out perfectly!
I keep my truck here as it is only $175 a year to insure and inexpensive to maintain. It is a 2003 F-150 I bought off the showroom floor, so I don’t want to let it go. Any major issues will be the end in the United States. My mechanic here is a tenth of the price, so it is a good place to try to keep it on the road. I only drive it around town, which should keep it going for a long time.
When I arrived, my landlord greeted me with a high five. It always feels so good to open that door, as it feels like home.
I have everything I need here to live a simple life. Comfy bed, beer fridge, grill, office, and a 55″ TV all for $150 a month.
I have zero issues keeping it empty most of the year. It is here when my AZ Airbnb is rented or when I want to just get away.
I always have a couple of first stops to see local faces and grab some of my favorites when I come to town.
I had my favorite chicken enchiladas with green sauce (pollo enchiladas verde.
Lower prices, oceanfront beers, playoff hockey, and everyone always has a great time!
2-for-1 wings! 
The most famous restaurant in Rocky Point is Pollo Lucas (Lucas Chicken). It is a short ten-minute walk from my pad, and it is amazing.
You can order 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or the whole chicken and eat it or take it to go.
Each order comes with onions and lettuce, with the awesome homemade salsa and tortillas.
I get the 1/4 chicken for 65 pesos, which is $2.50 for the best lunch ever! The half chicken is $120 Pesos, which can feed two people easily for $6 USD. The whole chicken can feed larger families for about $12 with all the fixings!
Friday nights are surf and turn night at my local watering hole down the street.
The price cannot be beat, as that was $15 USD with a draft beer and hockey.
$150 a month rent easily explains why I have been renting here for over 7 years! Awesome setup!!
