the exact answer to your question is "NO."

now some extra information.

When crossing into Tijuana from California in a car, you have about a 10% chance of being pulled to the side to be asked if you are importing anything. That is the only question you will get. They wont ask about citizenship or if you even have ID.

If you plan to go deep into Mexico then you will have to pull over anyway to get a tourist card. Its about $17 USD and is good for six months. Again, the chance that you will be ask for this document while down further south is almost nil.

Now, if you want to get back into the STATES you will need at least an ID at this time. Soon a passport will be needed for this, but you wont need it to go into Tijuana.

Every now and then, the San Diego Police (not border patol) will have a check point right at the border. The search cars and people to see if you are exporting guns, ammo, and other items. They also warn teens that when returning to the US they can be arrested for being drunk if thats how they are when on US soil.
The police are there randomly.
