Right by Gate 23, this Electronics Store is your last-minute fix
Three minutes from Gate 23 in TIJ’s Main Terminal, this Electronics Store covers the basics: phone chargers, USB-C and Lightning cables, cheap wired earbuds, and a few Bluetooth options. Prices sit above city retail by about 20–30%, but still reasonable compared with typical airport markup. It’s post-security, so you can duck in after clearing screening and before heading down to the 20s gates.
Stock skews phone-focused: wall plugs, power banks, and charging cables for both Android and iPhone. You’ll also see a handful of travel adapters for US–Mexico and EU plugs, plus a few mid-range headphones in the US$30–70 range. Don’t expect high-end cameras or laptops; think more “trip saver” than full electronics showroom. Most small accessories sit in the MX$200–600 band.
Hours generally track Main Terminal flight banks, opening around the first departures near 05:00 and staying open until the last evening departures around 22:00–23:00. If you land late from a delayed flight after 23:00, roll in expecting shutters down. For ultra-early 04:00 flights, have a backup cable from home just in case they aren’t open yet.
Best use case here: you realize at Gate 23 that your only charger died or you left your cable at the Cross Border Xpress (CBX) side. Grab a basic cable or 10,000–20,000 mAh power bank and move on. Skip impulse buys on branded gadgets; those often run 10–15% more than you’ll see online later. Quick tip: check the plug type and cable connector twice at the counter before you walk the 100 meters back to your seat.
