Legalize Your U.S. Car in Baja—Without Paying Bribes
 Articles

Unlock Baja’s Car Amnesty and Drive Legal Today

If you’re an American living in Baja California and brought your U.S. car with you, chances are you’ve heard about the “autos chocolate” program. The term comes up during coffee chats, taco runs, or while waiting in line at Recaudación de Rentas.

Here’s the good news: You can register your American car legally in Mexico.

And here’s the better news: You can also report abuse or corruption if someone tries to overcharge you.

First: What’s the “autos chocolate” program?

Mexicans use the term for cars that entered the country without proper customs paperwork—usually from the U.S. or Canada. The Mexican government created a program to let people regularize those cars. You pay a fixed fee of 2,500 pesos (about $140 USD), and the car gets official Mexican plates.

This avoids risky backdoor deals and shady importers.

Can Americans use the program?

Yes. The program doesn’t require you to be a Mexican citizen. Instead, you must live in Baja California as a legal resident.

There are two ways to prove it:

  1. Get a temporary or permanent resident visa through Mexico’s immigration office (INM).
  2. Apply for a municipal residence certificate (like the Carta de Vecindad) through your local city hall.

Both options are valid and accessible if you’ve made Baja your home.

What kind of car qualifies?

To be eligible, your vehicle must meet these conditions:

  • It must be a 2017 model or older
  • The VIN should start with 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (vehicles made in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico)
  • The car must not be luxury, electric, salvaged, or stolen

You’ll also need to show:

  • Proof of ownership (title or registration)
  • A local utility bill or lease (with your name)
  • Passport and Mexican residency ID

What if someone asks for extra cash?

That’s where it gets interesting. Governor Marina del Pilar launched a new Mobile Complaint Unit to fight corruption. So if anyone at a government office tries to charge you “extra,” you don’t have to stay quiet.

These mobile offices let you file a report immediately. Staff will explain your rights and ensure the complaint moves forward. You won’t face retaliation, and your name stays confidential.

Call these numbers to report abuse:

Why this matters

Many Americans avoid legalizing their car because they worry it’s complicated—or corrupt. It doesn’t have to be.

Mexico has made the process easier, and now you can go through it without fear. You’re part of this community, and you deserve the same fair treatment.

So the next time someone says, “You need a fixer,” just smile and show them the law. You’re doing it right—and legally.

Ensenada Airport Plans Resurface—Is This Finally for Real?
 Articles, Ensenada

New Ensenada Airport Could Land by 2029—For Real This Time

If you’ve been hearing rumors about an international airport in Ensenada since the ‘90s—you’re not alone. It’s been the Baja version of “I’ll believe it when I see it.” But this time, it might not be just talk.

From Rumors to Blueprints

Plans for a new airport date back to the mid-1990s, and in 2007 it was even listed in Mexico’s National Infrastructure Plan. Multiple studies were commissioned for a site in Ojos Negros, about 80 km inland. At the end, only one dirt runway was built, which is barely used as an alternative to the Cipres airport, during the Baja 1000 off-road race.

Fast forward to 2024, and the federal Secretaría de Infraestructura, Comunicaciones y Transportes (SICT), which oversees infrastructure and transportation, allocated over 16 million pesos for studies on hydrology, soil conditions, and environmental impact in Ensenada. That’s a lot more than just lip service.

Then, in July 2025, Ensenada’s mayor Claudia Agatón confirmed that the project is officially back on the radar. According to her statement and sources from federal agencies, the plan is for a new international airport to be located in El Tigre, a zone about 30 km north of downtown Ensenada.

The ASA Plan

The airport would fall under the management of Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares (ASA), the federal agency in charge of Mexico’s airport network. ASA has already released blueprints that include:

  • A 2,800-meter runway
  • An 8,000 m² terminal
  • A new control tower
  • Commercial zones, parking, and access roads

The total investment? 5.5 billion pesos—but important note: that budget is not just for Ensenada. It’s part of a broader ASA strategy that includes multiple airport projects across Mexico. So while Ensenada is in the mix, it’s sharing the pot.

So… Is This Finally Happening?

We know what you’re thinking: Didn’t they say the same thing in 2007? And in 2016? Yep. Baja residents (and frequent visitors) have seen this movie before. But this time we’ve got:

  • Confirmed site and design (El Tigre)
  • Federal and municipal coordination
  • Concrete funding allocations
  • A proposed timeline: earthworks in 2026, terminal structure in 2027, and operations by 2029.

Bottom Line

We’re cautiously optimistic. With backing from SICT, project management by ASA, and a mayor who’s actively promoting it, this version of the Ensenada airport feels more grounded than ever.

But let’s be honest—we’ll believe it when we see the bulldozers. Until then, Gringo Gazette North will keep a close eye on progress. And if it does happen, maybe you can book your next flight into Ensenada instead of dealing with Tijuana or San Diego.

Indie Filmmakers Wanted for Ensenada’s Séptimo 2.0 Showcase

Indie Filmmakers Wanted for Ensenada’s Séptimo 2.0 Showcase

Lights, camera, community. If you’ve been editing a film in your garage or storyboarding between coffee breaks, now’s your moment. “Séptimo 2.0,” Ensenada’s indie film showcase, is back—and this time, it’s calling for filmmakers from all corners, including you, dear Gringo.

Set to take place on September 6, the event is organized by local cinephile and creative agitator Víctor Valdez, and backed by the Subsecretariat for Creative Industries under the Baja State Ministry of Economy and Innovation. Their mission? To shine a projector-sized spotlight on emerging storytellers who are often overlooked in the big-budget, algorithm-driven film world.

This isn’t your typical red carpet affair. Séptimo was born in the shadows—literally—where independent films rarely get the recognition they deserve. According to Valdez, the goal is simple: create a space where the stories, messages, and raw talent of new filmmakers get the attention they’ve earned.

What Can You Submit?

  • Short films or music videos made in 2022 or later
  • Minimum duration: 1 minute
  • 1080p resolution or higher
  • All content (including music) must be 100% original

Whether it’s a poetic piece about tacos and existential dread, or a punk-inspired music video shot on the Malecon, they want it—as long as it’s yours.

How to Apply

Submit your work via Google Drive to: 📧 septimo.muestra@gmail.com

Include a PDF with:

  • Project title
  • Genre
  • Synopsis
  • Official poster
  • Full credits list

Not From Ensenada? Even Better

While the event is based in Ensenada, this is a call for creators everywhere, especially our readers across Baja and beyond. If you don’t live here, it’s the perfect excuse to visit. Come for the screening, stay for the coastline—and yes, the wine.

We actually have a hot tip for an incredible local rosé that’s about to hit the radar… but you’ll have to stay tuned for that one.

What to Expect

The Séptimo 2.0 showcase includes screenings, panels, and authentic networking—not the business card kind, the beer-and-brains kind. Think less stuffy film school, more creative BBQ with projectors.

Interested? Follow @septimo.ens on Instagram or message +52 646 256 4016 via WhatsApp.

And who knows—your next big break might start with a cold Tecate, a room full of strangers, and a story only you could tell.

U.S. authorities are sniffing around everything—banks, boxers, and even wedding rings
 Articles, USA/MEX

Think Before You Sign… or Marry, ICE is watching

From money to matrimony, nobody’s flying under the radar anymore.

You may have seen the headlines already. Something about banks being fined. Julio César Chávez Jr. getting detained. A marriage that’s raising more eyebrows than champagne glasses. But you haven’t read it like this—Gringo Gazette North style.

Mexican banks in hot water… and not for overdrafts

The National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) just slapped CIBanco, Intercam, and Vector Brokerage House with a total of 185 million pesos in fines. Why? Because their anti-money laundering systems were about as secure as a tequila bar during Spring Break.

Then the United States Department of the Treasury chimed in. Several international banks—including Visa, Citibank, and BNY Mellon—started freezing accounts and cutting off services faster than a bartender cuts you off after your third mezcal.

So if you, your business, or your mother-in-law have accounts or investments with these banks, now’s the time to double-check your paperwork. These days, a little “oops” could cost you millions, get your funds locked up, or have your services revoked altogether.

And to our American readers: okay, you can’t be denied a green card—you’re already rocking the blue passport. But don’t get cocky. The Treasury doesn’t care if you’re from Boise or Brooklyn—if your name shows up in the wrong spreadsheet, you might find yourself in the “extra screening” line next time you try to pay for tacos with your US card.

Julio César Chávez Jr. and the cost of loving dangerously

On July 2, 2025, Chávez Jr. was detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Studio City, California, for using false information in his green card application and overstaying his tourist visa.

But that’s just the beginning. Back in Mexico, the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) has had a warrant out for him since March 2023 for organized crime, weapons trafficking, and alleged ties to the Sinaloa Cartel.

Why the suspicion? Chávez Jr. married Frida Muñoz, a U.S. citizen and widow of Édgar Guzmán López—yes, that Guzmán, the son of El Chapo.

And here’s the kicker: even though she’s a citizen, and even though he’s a famous athlete, his green card application was denied. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) considers him a “public safety risk” because of his wife’s connections.

So… who your spouse used to be married to might just be your problem now

The lesson? It’s not just about who you marry—but who they married first. If your partner’s ex is a cartel prince, a sanctioned banker, or on any government watchlist… let’s just say immigration won’t be sending you a Christmas card.

The GGNorth rundown:

  • CIBanco, Intercam, Vector: hit with 185 million pesos in fines for poor anti-money laundering protocols.
  • U.S. Treasury: stepped in, pressured institutions, froze accounts, and gave Mexico a short window to clean things up.
  • Chávez Jr.: detained by ICE, sought by Mexican prosecutors, green card denied, and stuck in a legal boxing match he’s not winning.

Here at Gringo Gazette North, we keep it real. With facts, a wink, and just enough sarcasm to make the truth easier to swallow.

Because you know our motto: No Bad News—just the news that matters, told like it is.

“The Spaces Speak to Me of the Past,”
 Articles

When Art Listens: Ensenada’s Past and Mexicali’s Message of Hope

Art in Baja California isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about identity, healing, and telling stories that matter. This summer, Ensenada and Mexicali are both showing how powerful a splash of color can be.

Ensenada’s Streets, Captured on Canvas

Alejandro Arellano Vega wants you to slow down and look at Ensenada a little differently.

His new exhibit, “The Spaces Speak to Me of the Past,” now open at CEART Ensenada, features paintings of the city’s architecture. Think old facades, weathered corners, and historic spots you’ve walked by but never really noticed.

Arellano studied architecture at UABC and visual arts at CRIA. He’s also a 2024 PECDA Young Creators grant recipient. His style? Careful observation, long walks, historical research, and a deep love for Ensenada’s past. His work turns everyday buildings into emotional landmarks.

If you’re into urban landscapes, or just want to see Ensenada through new eyes, this show is worth the visit.

Mexicali’s Mural of Strength

Over in Mexicali, art is going big—and bold.

At the Centro de Justicia para las Mujeres (CEJUM), a massive community mural is in progress. It’s not just about paint. It’s about healing. Organized through the Cultura Comunitaria program, the mural brings together local artists, students, parents, and neighbors.

Everyone’s invited to add a brushstroke. The goal? To create a message of safety and support for women and girls who arrive at CEJUM, many during very hard moments in their lives.

Magdalena Bautista, CEJUM’s director, called it “a collective hug.” The mural aims to send a strong, visual signal: this is a safe space, and you are not alone.

#Artists, community members, and local leaders stand in front of the in-progress mural at CEJUM Mexicali—a collective work of healing, empathy, and hope.

A Shared Mission Through Art

What ties these two projects together?

Both remind us that art is more than decoration. It’s a tool for reflection. In Ensenada, it honors the past. In Mexicali, it supports healing and change.

We already covered the CEJUM mural in more detail earlier—check it out here.

For now, it’s safe to say Baja’s artistic pulse is strong—and very much worth your attention.

So take a stroll through CEART. Or lend a hand at the CEJUM mural. Either way, you’ll witness something beautiful: people using creativity to build a better, more human Baja.

24,000 Bites and Zero Regrets

Cocina la Baja 2025 Delivers Another Delicious Hit

If your taste buds weren’t at Estero Beach this weekend, you missed out. Big time.

Cocina la Baja 2025 turned up the heat with a full-on seafood fest. Chefs, fishers, and food lovers gathered for one of Baja’s most flavorful events of the year.

A Feast from the Sea

Guests were welcomed with a wine glass and a massive display of the event’s logo. The air was filled with the scent of grilled octopus and sizzling clams.

More than 40 booths offered tastings of Baja’s best. Think fresh ceviche, smoked oysters, sea urchin pasta, and even oyster ice cream.

Over 24,000 individual tastings were served throughout the day. That’s a lot of bites—and a lot of happy bellies.

Top Dishes, Big Wins

The People’s Choice went to Ilusso from Tijuana. Their taco of merluza in nori with plantain tortilla stole the show.

First place from the judges? A tiradito of cabrilla with yuzu and miso by Bocalobina and chef Abraham Gutiérrez.

Second went to Bivalva for their smoked oyster ice cream. Third place was a rich pasta with sea urchin cream by Almatierra.

Not Just Eating—Learning Too

The event wasn’t only about food. It was about education and fun.

At the Pabellón Manglar, kids colored sea creatures and joined a fishing-themed rally. Meanwhile, adults watched a live tuna “ronqueo” (butchering demo) by Bluefiná.

Cocina la Baja also featured producers from all over Baja. Wine and craft beer flowed freely between bites.

A Toast to Baja’s Coast

Cocina la Baja keeps getting better. With support from SEPESCA BC, COMEPESCA, and dozens of local chefs, the event once again proved why Baja is king of the sea.

It’s not just a food festival. It’s a love letter to Baja’s coast—and a reason to come back next year.

Sheinbaum Opens New IMSS Hospital—Right Before the Seafood Fest

If you’re heading to Cocina la Baja today, make a pit stop on your way. President Claudia Sheinbaum is in Ensenada this Saturday, July 12, and she’s not just here for the view—she’s cutting the ribbon at one of the most important medical projects in decades: the brand-new IMSS Bienestar Regional Hospital No. 23.

The official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the brand-new IMSS hospital, led by President Claudia Sheinbaum herself, is scheduled for 2:00 PM. Yep—the exact same time Cocina la Baja kicks off. So if you’re torn between fresh seafood and fresh medical facilities… we totally get it. Priorities, right?

A Big Dose of Hope

Set right by El Ciprés (Av. Reforma and Calle Margaritas, Ex Ejido Chapultepec), this public hospital is expected to serve over 300,000 residents across the region. We’re talking 216 hospital beds, 32 specialties, and fully-equipped facilities for oncology, dialysis, pediatrics, and general surgery. And it’s all under the IMSS Bienestar model, which means free care for anyone without social security coverage.

Yep, real healthcare—no fine print, no wallet pain.

Years in the Making

This is the first federally built hospital in Ensenada in over 60 years. After some partial operation last year, the hospital is now officially open and ready to get to work. The site was donated by the state government, and today marks the full launch.

Local officials—Governor Marina del Pilar and Secretary of Health José Adrián Medina—are also attending. Just one thing to note: while the building is top-notch, the staffing and supplies still need to catch up. Progress, but not perfection.

The President’s Health Tour

Sheinbaum’s not just stopping in Baja. She’s on a larger tour of IMSS Bienestar facilities nationwide. This program is part of a broader push to deliver health services to people who’ve been left out of Mexico’s social security system.

The federal government is teaming up with states like Baja California to ensure staffing, meds, and funding actually show up where they’re needed. A good start, but the work’s just beginning.

🌮 Bonus Tip: Sheinbaum Before Seafood

Now here’s a local hack: if you’re heading to Cocina la Baja 2025 at Estero Beach this afternoon, guess what’s right on the way? Yep—the new hospital. Swing by, snap a photo with the President, and send it our way!

Oh, and while you’re hunting oysters and abalone later, keep your eyes peeled for Leonardo Quintero. He’ll be covering Cocina la Baja for us today. Tell him we said hi—and maybe share your best bite.

Projecto El Sauzal: Ask the President

If you’ve got questions—like what’s happening with El Sauzal port or road upgrades, or how this hospital ties into broader regional plans—today’s your chance. Residents have concerns about the El Sauzal megaproyecto, including environmental risks and changes to the local economy  . The President and your local officials will be there—drop by, ask away, and get informed.

🟣 No Bad News. Just fresh hospitals, fresh seafood, and fresh reasons to celebrate Baja.

Trapped, Sick, Forgotten: Ensenada’s 300 Dogs Find Hope

300 Rescued Dogs and a Shelter’s Dirty Secret in Ensenada

Neighbors Knew Something Was Wrong

Since 2021, locals near a dog shelter in Ensenada had been complaining. They said something smelled bad—literally and figuratively. They weren’t wrong.

In July 2025, things finally came to a head. A multi-agency raid exposed what may be one of the worst shelter scandals Baja has seen. And yes, it’s exactly as bad as it sounds.

We’ve always backed animal groups. We’ve covered rescue stories and wagged tails across these pages. But when a rescue turns into a rotting kennel of disease and death, it’s time to stop applauding and start reporting.

The Shelter That Hid a Horror

The shelter, Ellos son la Razón (“They Are the Reason”), operated for years without a license, vet, or basic hygiene. In 2023, shocking photos led the city to shut it down—briefly. Still, dogs kept coming, and the problems stacked up.

The director, Keila Rodríguez, said many dogs arrived already sick. That may be true, but by July 2025, it was clear no one was getting better inside those walls.

The Raid That Changed Everything

Between July 5 and 6, a court-approved raid led by Baja’s Prosecutor’s Office and the city of Ensenada uncovered the truth: 300 dogs packed into small, filthy rooms. Some rooms held up to 35 animals. There was no clean water, no drainage, and plenty of fleas, feces, and rotting remains.

Veterinarians found cases of distemper, mange, transmissible tumors, and cancer. Some dogs were too far gone. They had to be euthanized. Others were treated immediately and transferred to real clinics.

Rescue, Treatment, and Real Help

Municipal and state vets stepped in fast. Norma Olimpia Guerrero and Wilber Agumada Torres led medical evaluations. With help from certified shelters, they began treatment, rehab, and a plan to rehome the dogs responsibly.

Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila backed the effort and promised tighter shelter regulations in Baja. The city pledged ongoing support—meds, food, vet teams, and transport.

It wasn’t just a clean-up. It was a full system reboot.

Legal Action and What’s Next

Two investigations are now open—one from mid-2024 and one from this July. While no arrests have been made yet, authorities issued penalties and are preparing further charges.

The case is already changing how Baja thinks about animal protection. Officials are working on stricter rules, regular inspections, and real accountability for shelters.

Want to Help? You Can.

If this story breaks your heart, good. That means you’re human. And you can help.

The rescued dogs are currently under the care of government-led veterinary teams and are being assessed for relocation. While they are not being housed by independent shelters, you can still support the work of permitted and trustworthy rescue groups like Los Adoptables, Guillermina’s Sanctuary, 4 Patas, and Ayudando a los Animales—who continue rescuing and caring for animals across Ensenada.

If you’re thinking of donating, in-kind support is always best. Shelters often need food, medicine, cleaning supplies, and blankets more than anything.

Pro tip: Ask questions. Visit in person. If the place avoids showing you the kennels—run.

You can also check Petfinder for adoptable pets near Ensenada or contact the Centro de Atención Animal for verified information.

The Ruff Reality

Good intentions aren’t enough. Rescue means care, structure, and vet support—not just stacked cages and forgotten animals.

This shelter claimed the dogs were “the reason.” And you know what? They still are.

But now, thanks to loud neighbors, brave vets, and some much-needed pressure, these dogs finally have a reason to hope.

Baja’s Wine Guide Wins Global Gold at Gourmand Awards
 Articles, Ensenada, Wine

Vinitácora Puts Baja Wine on the World Stage

If you thought Baja’s wine scene was just local buzz, think again. Vinitácora: Wines and Wineries of Baja California just snagged the world title for Wine Guides at the Gourmand Awards 2025 in Portugal—beating out publications from over 60 countries . ¡Salud!

What’s the Gourmand Award?

Known as the “Oscars of food and wine books,” the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards have celebrated stellar gastronomic literature since 1995, with over 200 countries competing annually . In 2025, winners were announced in Estoril, Portugal—where Vinitácora took first place for Best Wine Guide worldwide  .

Why Vinitácora Stands Out

This isn’t just a pretty picture book. Vinitácora offers deep dive coverage of 80+ wineries, 900 wines, and all seven valleys that define Baja’s wine map  . Organized, bilingual, and user-friendly, it’s built for wine travelers—whether you’re Instagram-savvy or GPS-wary  .

Vinitácora: More Than a Guide

Founded by sommelier-authors Lorena Hernández (Vionda) and Fabián Jáuregui, the guide isn’t just a list—it’s a living tool. They’re celebrating 10 years of highlighting Mexico’s wine regions—covering Valle de Guadalupe and touching Aguascalientes and California too  .

In Portugal, they stole the spotlight with a special tasting event in Cascais, showcasing flagship Baja wineries like Adobe Guadalupe, Casa de Piedra, and Vena Cava  .

What This Means for Baja

Baja’s Secretary of Tourism, Miguel Aguíñiga Rodríguez, praised the win as proof that the region is now an international wine powerhouse  . Vinitácora’s award-winning content, maps, expert notes, and aesthetic design convinced judges worldwide  .

Local winery owners say this kind of shine can turn corks into visitors—and shipments. It’s marketing gold for Baja’s wine tourism industry  .

A Toast to the Future

With this global medal, Baja California not only cements its title as the Capital of Mexican Wine—it doubles down. Backed by Vinitácora’s credibility, the Tourism Secretariat plans to promote it at international fairs and tastings  .
