About Colonia Villas del Dorado, Tijuana
Villas del Dorado is a 65-hectare estate in La Presa, laid out off Boulevard El Dorado with Calle Isidro Fabela, Calle General Emiliano Zapata and Calle General Felipe Ángeles running through it. The numbered and general-named streets mark it as a planned development.
It adjoins Fiduzet — which holds the La Presa delegación offices — and several Ejido Francisco Villa tracts, so municipal business is a short trip next door. Parque El Dorado II provides open space inside the boundary, and the Escuela Secundaria Técnica 45, the Escuela Primaria Federal Chichén Itzá and the Escuela Primaria Moctezuma cover schooling.
Retail is small-scale and local: Mercado Reyes with abarrotes Andreíta and Carmen, and two Oxxo branches on Ángeles and El Dorado. Dental and medical consulting rooms handle routine care, and Power Fitness Spinning covers recreation. Larger shopping happens at Plaza El Dorado next door in Fiduzet.
Villas del Dorado covers 65 hectares in the La Presa delegación, bordered by Ejido Francisco Villa Oeste, Ejido Francisco Villa, Ejido Francisco Villa and Ejido Francisco Villa. The routed drive to the store is 13.0 miles, about 21 minutes of driving, with the border wait separate and reported live on this site.
