Hi David,

We would recommend that you stop at Calexico, CA (KCXL) to refuel and skip Mexicali altogether. You could file VFR from KCXL to MMLT and also VFR or IFR from MMLT to MMSL.

Your route of flight would take you outside of MMML's airspace so you would not have to talk to them. You could also consider landing in MMSF to clear and refuel as it is an "easy" airport for inbound aircraft. You could then fly VFR from MMSF to MMLT and VFR to MMSL.
