ESTA (Going to Mexico and the US) [duplicate]

I am a Swiss citizen. I am planning on going to San Diego from Zurich on November 8-15. Would I be able to do a day-trip to Tijuana and then come back? The trip to Mexico would be by land.

Would I be eligible to re-enter the US?

Thank you!

Best Answer

Of course you can, as you haven't overstayed your allowed 90 days (which cannot be restored by going to Mexico).

Contrary to the answer in the suggested dupe, if you do have an ESTA you'll not need to fill out an I-94W either.
