We are an Aussie couple currently in Fort Stockton en route to Grand Canyon and places further north. We are on a whistlestop tour of parts of USA and would like to spend a day in a Mexican border town as pedestrians. It would seem our options are to cross at El Paso, Douglas, Nogales or Yuma. Would appreciate any comments from forum members with experience in any of these localities.

Thanks to all for your comments. This morning we drove from El Paso to Columbus on the road that hugs the border (9) and visited the town of Puerto Palomas. Yes, I understand this is not the real Mexico bit it certainly is not Main Street USA as I understand it.
We had an enjoyable time, dined at The Pink Store and purchased a couple of pairs of prescription glasses. Interestingly the only ATM in town was out of cash so I had to go back to Columbus to get cash to pay for the glasses as the establishment did not have a credit card facility.
