If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Tecate day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 16:00–00:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Around 91,034 people live in Tecate, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
