Tecate is an unincorporated community in the Mountain Empire area of central southeastern San Diego County, California, United States. It is directly north of the Mexico–United States border and the Mexican city of Tecate in Baja California.
It is nicknamed Tecatito ("Little Tecate") because of its smaller size compared with the Mexican city.[citation needed]
The Tecate Port of Entry is located here, and Tecate Peak is nearby.
