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,[1] public transportation hub[2] and major retail district[3] 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".[4]

- Plaza Carrousel, with a Cinépolis multicinema, Soriana Súper supermarket, and a Sears
