Cinco y Diez pedestrian bridge

La Cinco y Diez (lit. "The Five and Ten", also written "La 5 y 10"), is the name of an intersection, pedestrian overpass over that intersection, public transportation hub and major retail district in La Mesa borough, Tijuana, Mexico. The name exists because a branch of the Luján/Cardenas family's "La Cinco y Diez" five and dime store once stood here, and Tijuana residents taking taxis or buses would ask to be let off by "La Cinco y Diez".

The area has numerous shopping centers, department stores, supermarkets and hypermarkets, including:

  • Plaza Carrousel, with a Cinépolis multicinema, Soriana Súper supermarket, and a Sears department store
  • Plaza Cedros with an Elektra appliance/electronics/motorcycle store
  • Plaza 5 y 10 with a Ley supermarket and Coppel department store
  • Plaza Díaz Ordaz with a Calimax supermarket
  • Plaza Las Brisas with an additional Coppel department store, "Soriana híper" hypermarket, and an additional Elektra appliance/electronics/motorcycle store
  • Serviplaza Mesa 5 y 10 with Coppel and FAMSA department stores and a "Soriana Híper" hypermarket
  • Swap Meet 5 y 10
  • Swap Meet Las Carpas
  • a free-standing Smart & Final supermarket
