About Colonia Revolución, Tijuana

Revolución is a small central colonia of nineteen hectares, fronting Boulevard Agua Caliente with Avenida Río Yaqui and Avenida Río Tijuana on its river side. At 3.4 routed miles and about six minutes it is the closest colonia in this batch to the store.

It adjoins América, Calete, Dávila, Marrón and Plan de Barranquitas — all central colonias, which is why Revolución reads as part of the core rather than a district of its own. Its civic weight is legal: the Fiscalía General del Estado keeps a zonal office here, along with a specialised prosecutor's unit.

Retail is close-grained and central: Toyo Foods trades as both a grocer and a supermarket, with abarrotes and a bodega filling in around it. The Centro Tecnológico Siglo XXI and CAYS provide post-secondary teaching inside the boundary, and the Colegios Principito y Patria and the Escuela Primaria El Pensador Mexicano cover the earlier years.

Colonia Revolución covers 19 hectares in the Centro delegación, bordered by America, Calete, Davila and Marron. The routed drive to the store is 3.4 miles, about 6 minutes of driving, with the border wait separate and reported live on this site.

  • Only nineteen hectares, entirely central
  • Boulevard Agua Caliente frontage
  • Fiscalía General del Estado zonal offices
  • Centro Tecnológico Siglo XXI and CAYS
  • Toyo Foods and local abarrotes
  • Six routed minutes to the store

Neighbourhood insights

What makes Colonia Revolución, Tijuana distinctive?

Revolución packs state legal offices and two post-secondary campuses into nineteen hectares on the Agua Caliente boulevard, which makes it a working address far more than its size suggests.

Why do people here use a U.S. mailbox?

At six minutes from the crossing a San Ysidro mailbox is barely an errand — close enough that a single parcel is worth collecting on its own.

Who uses the service most from this area?

Professional and legal offices ordering supplies, students at the technological centre, and central households ordering consumer goods.

Nearby landmarks

Revolución is small enough to cross on foot, and Boulevard Agua Caliente is its front door. The prosecutor's offices and the technological centre are the two institutions that bring people in from elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth a mailbox if I only order occasionally?

At six routed minutes, many customers here collect single parcels rather than batching them, so occasional ordering still works.

Can I receive documents as well as parcels?

Yes. Letter mail and courier documents are handled the same way as parcels, with notification when they arrive.
