Nuclear Waste in Tijuana is a downtown alternative hub with a true Chopo-meets-border vibe: racks of band tees and long-sleeves, big walls of woven/embroidered patches and backpatches, plus boots/creepers and a steady flow of vinyl, CDs and tapes spanning punk, post-punk, goth and metal. The shop runs an active online/mail-order arm and regularly acts as a physical presale/ticket point for underground gigs and small fests, with flyers and new-stock drops hitting the feed several times a week. House extras include custom T-shirts/patches and rotating displays of collectibles (from horror figurines to Funko one-offs). The energy is scene-first—busy weekends, friendly counter talk, and staff who champion local bands alongside imports.
