Water71,  safety is subjective but I never felt at risk traveling to Monterrey.  You can cross easily using the pedestrian bridge in McAllen or Laredo and catch a bus for $15-25.  The bus terminal in downtown Monterrey is ground zero for brothels, strip clubs and massage parlors all within a one mile radius.  I walk everywhere there, day and night,but occasionally resort to Uber for distances over a mile or on hot summer days.  Everything is cheap there, even the Uber rides are $3-5.  If you read my many posts in the Monterrey forum, you will find recommendations for everything from girls, to clubs to hotels.  I made five trips last year so there are plenty of reviews.  Bottom line, for Texans, Monterrey is a whoremongers paradise.
