La Cinco y Diez (lit. "The Five and Ten", also written "La 5 y 10"), is the name of an intersection, pedestrian overpass over that intersection, public transportation hub and major retail district in La Mesa borough, Tijuana, Mexico. The name exists because a branch of the Luján/Cardenas family's "La Cinco y Diez" five and dime store once stood here, and Tijuana residents taking taxis or buses would ask to be let off by "La Cinco y Diez".
The area has numerous shopping centers, department stores, supermarkets and hypermarkets, including:
- Plaza Carrousel, with a Cinépolis multicinema, Soriana Súper supermarket, and a Sears department store
