tampico transit guys
Was in Tampico 2 weeks ago and got stoped twice in 2 km by these clowns.
Both time I didn't speak a word of spanish and was telling them (in french) that I would like to pay the ticket. They got tired rather quickly and sent me off.
Regarding the original poster question. I crossed in Matamoros. Clean and easy border crossing, same for La messilla in Guatemala (crossed 3 days ago, change guys gave good rate).
My impression of both country so far is that by traveling by day you will only see regular people just living their lives. I haven't seen anything scary anywhere. I drive in the day only and stop only where there's some population. I'm sticking to major roads in central america.
Hope this helps !
