Tap Water in Mexico
In Mexico, tap water is not considered safe for consumption. We recommend using filtered water for cooking, drinking, and brushing teeth. Boiling water first makes it safe, but bottled water is generally the best option if there are any doubts.
Currency Exchange
It is advisable to keep U.S. dollars if exchanging for Mexican pesos results in a rate of 21 pesos or less per dollar. ATMs provide a reliable way to withdraw local currency, as some smaller establishments may not accept credit cards. Having pesos available is also recommended for tipping services.
Tipping Practices
While tipping is not mandatory in Mexico, it is customary etiquette. For example, around 15% is typical for restaurant service. Additionally, it is common courtesy to tip taxi drivers, hotel porters, and supermarket parking attendants.
English Proficiency
English is the most widely-spoken second language in Mexico after Spanish and indigenous tongues. However, basic Spanish phrases, such as greetings and words for “please” and “thank you,” show respect for local customs. Outside major resort areas, English understanding can be limited. Translation apps, phrasebooks, or on-site staff provide workarounds.
Electrical Adapters
No adapter is needed for U.S. electronics in Mexico, as outlets and voltages are compatible. Visitors from Europe should bring adapters, with voltage converters also recommended for high-value devices like phones, laptops and tablets.
