I was pleasantly surprised. The locals try to sell everything but that’s ok with me because I really brought a lot of custom /handmade souvenirs for my family. I walked everywhere didn’t need a rental . One stop shop. The people were very polite & humble. I stayed at the California Hotel & suites it was very updated nice & clean the staff went above & beyond for me and I felt safe at the hotel. I was more impressed with the dental work I received from Custom Dental Art(Dr.Christian & Dr.Ruben) very knowledgeable Surgeon/dentist if u ever need implants or root canal try them out 10/10. Also I had my own personal tour guide name David from Custom Dental Art. Crossing the boarder was a breeze. So many street vendors no shortage of variety of food and goods to purchase. Not to mention there is a grocery store for fresh fruit. Try the Beach Hut (PePe) great pizza and homemade ice cream Overall 10/10 FYI:I traveled alone from Tn. Stayed 5 days and I can’t wait to return. I felt welcomed and Safe

We have come to Algodones now for 7 years. I do all my primary dental work there. We have stayed in Yuma and in Algodones. It's easier to drive in, stay in, get the dental work done, eat at two or three great places and then head back to Yuma before then heading back so Western So Ca.

You run the gamut of vendors coming and going out. There are a lot of goods to choose from. The medical services are all conveniently located within blocks of the border entry. The locals greeted us in a friendly and respectful manner. The place seems to shut down at sundown! We were glad that the hotel we stayed in (California Comfort and Suites) had a restaurant /bar that stayed open until 10:00

Los Algodones ("Molar City") seems to exist solely for foreigners to get professional services such as dental, optical, prescription drugs and cosmetic surgery. It's not a resort town, and not a place that anyone would seek out for a holiday! That being said, Los Algodones residents are friendly, the restaurants are good, and it feels safe. Crossing the border was super quick and easy for us. We walked over in the late afternoon with zero lineup, and we walked back into the USA in late morning, also with zero delay. Not even 30 seconds to cross the border in either direction.

It is the BEST place for dental work, but you'll need to do some research because there are all kinds of dental offices, from single offices, BnBs, full-out hospital-type settings. You're safe with almost any of them.

Los Algodones is a great place to get dental work done reasonably and quickly and to stock up on medicines. We’ve been coming for years! Our dentist offers multi-year warranties on his clinic’s work! Just replaced 2 crowns under warranty- no charge!!! Imagine that in the US! Most medicines are readily available without RXs and at prices well below US. Even with a good drug plan, these prices are outstanding! Everyone is friendly if a tad pushy trying to convince you to choose their dentist or pharmacy but they understand NO and never harass you. Loads of fun and delightful items to bring home for kids and adults at very reasonable prices: metal sculptures, ceramics, jewelry, clothing, and leather goods. Terrific street food! Timing is important because the lines to cross back into the US can be very long - walking or by car. Plenty of parking inside the town if you prefer to drive in or you can park in the Indian lot for $6 and walk in.
