texas to mexico trip?

I live in Ajijic and want to drive my jeep down to keep in Mexico. what is the best route and crossing to take? McAllen, Del Rio, or Laredo ? Also what are the roads like and what should I expect. I have a Mexican friend in Ajijic, I had thought about asking him to ride with me in case anything should happen. My spanish is not that great. Any help or suggestions would be helpful.

(Not that you need any wise-ass suggestions but...) If you bring one of those Cowboy cheerleaders the crossing, route and roads or your ability to speak Spanish won't matter.

i agree, but if i had one of those cheerleaders i would not care if I got back at all !!!

Columbia is a better crossing than Laredo. I have crossed at Reynosa too. From either head south to Monterrey, Saltillo,Zacatecas and Guad. Lizzy

PS There are sites online where you can get road reports. Check with your Mexican auto insurance people.
