Juarez is no joke. I had to work there for a month, going across the border from El Paso every day. Im not ashamed to say I was scared just going out for a pizza at night with the locals. And I was right... while in a restaurant (if you can call it that, saran wrap for a door, no joke) 3 federalies came in, head to toe in black and ski masks, weilding HK assault rifles. One stood right next to our table, while the others got money from the owner. I can tell you firsthand, Juarez is no place for a vacation getaway.
