I feel like tourists get ripped off in Mexico. You get charged a lot for excursions and taxi drivers take you to places who expect you to buy something. Then get begged for tips everywhere. I was so glad to get back on the ship!
Tourists get ripped off everywhere. The truth is, if you’re visiting a country from a cruise ship you’ll only get to see a tiny portion of the country that’s saturated with venders trying to sell you something and bet that you probably don’t know what things usually cost. I’d much rather get to know a place like the locals. You’ll never get that at a cruise ship port. -Jim
Word. Have u tried exiting customs area in CDMX with a trolley ? Guards would say nope u must leave the trolley at the doors. Guess who then turns up with a trolley smiling and expecting a tip per bag 😂! It’s just disgusting concept!
Yeah it's because in that kind of beach touristic places where cruises would go, they are expebsive towns and a lot of people actually get their main income by tips, their salary is too
Thank you for sharing. I’m going to Mexico for a couple of months by myself and I need all the safety tips I can get 😉
This was very helpful. I love tipping nicely for great service. This helped me be more gracious when doing so. I went to an all inclusive with my daughter. We needed a battery in our TV remote. A houseman came up and fixed it but declined the Money and seemed taken back...and same with the bartenders. I did not understand that.
Thank you so much for the information.
Jacquelyne Fricker thanks for watching! Some chain resorts have a policy where the workers aren’t supposed to accept the tip until the third offer. Maybe that was the case where you went. Thanks for commenting with your experience! 😊
I'm in CDMX and this was helpful to me. I never would have thought to tip a grocery bagger. 🤔
Glad to hear it, Dave! It’s still strange to me, and I probably wouldn’t have known if it wasn’t for May’s insight as a native Mexican. Thanks for watching!
I hardly keep or use cash when traveling. I've been using a credit card for eating out and also the grocery stores and malls.
So, when I go to the grocery store I seldom have any pesos for tipping. At restaurants you can add a tip to your total payment.
@@GlobalAdventurer Even if you don't carry cash on you, you should always carry some coins in Mexico.
@@user-lj1cw9tb9w You're right. I do carry coins now for the grocery baggers, street performers and older people I run across along the way.
Thanks for the tips about Tips! I have a question, currently the US exchange rate is about .04 cents to 1 pesos, with that said, do mexicans working at resorts prefer to be tipped in US dollars or do they prefer to be tipped in pesos? If USD , should it be increased a little due to having to pay to change it to pesos?
Thanks!
For tipping at an all-inclusive resort you say to tip 15-20%, but there aren't any base prices for the food and drinks so how do I know how much to give? Also, some resorts have bars that you swim up to, are you expected to carry money in your swimsuit for tipping there?
Those are good points. Many resorts will still give you a receipt for your drinks even though they are included. They do this for their own inventory. However, if they don't give you a receipt, you can do one of two things:
1. Ask how much the drinks cost usually, or
2. Tip like you would for a drink back home.
If a tip for a beer is usually $1 in the US, convert that to pesos and you're looking at about $20 MXN. Mixed drinks usually get $2-3 for a drink, which is about $37-56 pesos right now.
If you're swimming to the bar, you can always tip when you get out of the water. But, if your swimwear has pockets you're in luck. The smaller peso bills ($20, $50) are plastic, and the $10 peso coins work great for tip money!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you
I am going to a wedding in Campeche and I heard that it is customary to tip the servers at the reception. True?
Ha! Tipping at a gas station used to be the norm in the US, when we had full service stations back in the day.
I had no idea! Thanks for watching. -Jim
What about beach massages or spa treatments? What is the tipping expectation
On a recent trip to Guadalajara my taxi driver must have been excited when I handed him $200 pesos. I just didn't know.
This was helpful since I will be in playa del carmen in March. I am not staying in an all inclusive resort. Then in Cancun for a few days. I am trying to gauge how much peso to bring. How would I get the coins? Do I tip the ADO driver?
Thanks for watching, Tinahindi! Playa is amazing, we love it there. You won't be needing coins right away when you get there. You can get change for most bill wherever you spend them. You can buy a pack of gum or a bottle of water at the airport and then you'll have some change. You don't tip the ADO driver, but you can tip the person helping you with your luggage if you have more than one suitcase. And if you can't get any change, people in all of that area (Cancun, Playa, Tulum, etc.) are also used to get tips in dollars. Just don't give them dollar coins since banks and exchange kiosks don't take them. We hope you enjoy your time there! :)
i did not know to tip in a grocery store although makes sense because they do bag your food.
Yeah , I'm not verry experience traveler and wasn't sure .. But as it's only 20 pesos per dollar then yes typically it's not super high starting at 10 or more pesos
At first I thought it said tripping in Mexico and I was like, I so gotta watch this
Sorry to disappoint, but that's a great future video idea! 😂😂😂 -Jim
Thank you for your video it was very informative. However when I booked my trip through a package and the package states gratuity is included. This was through Costco. I still would like to tip but at the same time they may have charged me extra to cover tipping? So how do we handle that situation. I dont want to be asking for receipts.
If they say that tips are covered, that means that employees barely get pizza, they do not get any extra pay for their service, or maybe a couple slices of pizza
How about the staff in a villa? Our staff will have a house manager, a bartender, a chef and chef assistant, and we will have a pre/post arrival concierge. Trying to figure out who all to tip, how much, etc...?
Did I miss it, or did you not mention tipping in the public bathrooms?
Thank you! Appreciate the practical advice!
Hmmm. Most of our cab rides here in Cancun have been 300 pesos. We've been tipping 50 pesos (~$2.50) for each ride. I guess they've seemed pretty pleased, and now I know why. We didn't know.
When i go to mexico the most i tip is 20 pesos. Imaged when u are eating at restaurants on your vacation if you where to tip 20 percent that adds up.
OMG: This is so confusing! More confusing than the USA! I think I've been doing it all wrong!
me gusta tu camiseta Jim. donde la encontraste
¡Gracias, Danny! Mi amigo Mike las vendía. No se si todavía a las tiene, pero su canal en UA-cam es “Mike Corey” si quieres checar con el. ¡Saludos! -Jim
I would suggest doubling all tip amounts mentioned in this video. 10 pesos used to equal 1 U.S. dollar some time ago. But the peso has gone down. 10 pesos is only worth about 50 cents now.... I'd say tipping at least the equivalent of 1 U.S. dollar is fair for smaller things.
Wolf Village Videos thanks for the comment! The 10 pesos suggestion (currently 54¢ USD) is for a bill of 50 pesos or less ($2.69 USD) - so that’d be 20% or more of your total bill. May is from Mexico and is very familiar with tipping in the service industry there. A 40% tip would be massive, but certainly could put a smile on your server’s face! And there’s certainly nothing wrong with that. Thanks for watching!
The tips in the video are pretty accurate, overtipping is not a good thing because it sets a false expectation. Reward good service well and be generous, but don't overdo it.
@@TheBytesHertz Disagree. The entire world is understaffed now & those who did show up for work are having to do much more work than before. Tip at least 20%, even if service was slow but still good. They NEED our tourism $$!
@@lawnerdtabitha since then is mandatory to tip? I am working like a horse and nobody is tipping me. In fact I do have gap on my salary and beside that I have to pay taxes for any penny I earn. In the mean time I know a former waitress who was able to travel the world, making a lot of money she did not pay tax for it.
For Uber, how much do you tip? 10 pesos? 10%? You didn't mention.
Don't forget tipping to the musicians.
Where do you get all this "change" to tip?
You can go buy some gum or a drink at any OXXO. They always have change, and OXXOs are everywhere.
This was a helpful video just for general knowledge of Mexican culture. My wife and I have always tipped hotel housekeepers, gas station attendants, and hair cutters in the States, so that won't be difficult to apply. Most anywhere we get some type of service, we tip and, if not sure, we ask if they are allowed to accept tips. I figure it's better to try and tip than to be perceived as a cheap and disrespectful gabacho.
I agree. When in doubt tip, is a good strategy. As foreigners we’re guests abroad and should be respectful enough for people to want us to come back! -Jim
Should be easy. Similar tipping scenarios in my country
Do you know why they take your picture when traveling in a bus in mexico?
We’ve never had our pictures taken when traveling by bus and we’ve done it dozens of times. Did this happen to you? Is so, where? -Jim
I tip the cleaners at Airbnb, mall food court and casinos
I can't get used to NOT tipping a cab driver, so I always do! I figure people don't make very much anyway, so I don't mind tipping for services.
It says not to over tip because u push out locals
How much is a taxi in cancun to a hotel?
That depends on how far they have to go. I recommend asking how much it’ll cost for them to take you to your hotel before getting in the taxi. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching! -Jim
Anyone going to Mexico please go with somone assertive and not a pushover... Alot of tourist places over there will take advantage of u and lie about prices and even short change u... Please go with somone that isn't shy about speaking up. Otherwise these are all good tips
i am travelling from Canada. Can you tip in Canadian currency or is peso or American dollars preferred.
If you’re going to tip in dollars, USD are preferred. Pesos are always preferred though and not all parts of Mexico are used to receiving tips in foreign currencies.
@@SpanishandGo Thank you, I just started going thru some of your posts. They are very helpful.
I’m glad you are finding the posts helpful. I just stumbled upon this comment again and realized I made a bad typo. I meant to say *not* all parts of Mexico are used to receiving foreign currency as a tip. In fact, most are not. We have a lot more info in this article: spanishandgo.com/travel/the-ultimate-guide-to-tipping-in-mexico
@@SpanishandGo Thank you, going to bahia principe grand coba in november
If you can’t afford these tips you shouldn’t be going to Mexico LMAO 10 pesos is about $.50 so these are fairly cheap tips compared to what we’re used to in the U.S but suffice in mexico! Great video guys! 👌🏽
How about musicians that play for you (unrequested) at a restaurant, like the mariachis?
You just say "Ahorita no, gracias." and they'll go to another table.
@@SpanishandGo Okay and if you do appreciate the music and want to tip?
Yes, you can still tip. That’s fine.
Hi dear I am a student and going away to an all inclusive resort. Your saying I should tip $2.50US a day on housekeeping alone? 🤔 so all my spending money is gonna go for tipping every single thing? Please need some help here, because I'm struggling just as them
Hi! You're going to an all-inclusive resort on vacation to a another country and you think you're struggling like Mexicans are? Most Mexicans don't have the money to stay at an all-inclusive. $2.50 per day is not a lot to give to those who are making sure you have an enjoyable experience. There are certainly cheaper ways of visiting Mexico. We never stay at resorts ourselves. That's just our personal preference though. We want to be surrounded by the locals and experience the culture of the places we visit.
Hope that helps!
-Jim
@@SpanishandGo I find your comment rather rude and judgemental. I liked your video and appreciated your tips. However how do you know the package wasn't gifted to me? And yes I could be way off than the people I will be tipping.
I don't mind helping others where I can but I would rather give $20US to a kid on the road of Mexico trying to survive by selling juice on the road instead of being in school rather to each person who have a job $5us everyday.
I am going there to relax not to save everyone I come into contact with.
Again I appreciate your video.
fashionvs food I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to come off as rude. I only want to make it clear that tips are expected, and if you happened to be gifted the trip that does not give you any sort of exception to the cultural norm of tipping.
Where are you from? I can tell you that in the United States someone who didn’t tip their waiter would not be forgiven for not tipping simply because they were gifted a trip there.
You have the right to do what you want, but tipping in resorts is expected in Mexico.
Best,
-Jim
@@SpanishandGo yes I'm not saying I'm excluded in doing this. However for a person from Europe not used to tipping and hearing this, it seems like it's mandatory and it's frightening. I have been to the states and heard it's a nice way of telling waiters etc thank you by leaving a tip, but it's not something one has to do.
Long story short, I get what your saying but putting a price to what you should tip was a little uncomfortable to hear. The part in the video where your partner (if he is) said don't tip xx or LESS THAN was great, because your letting us know how it will come across & the monetary value.
Anyways I enjoyed your other videos and thanks for the info that will be helpful to my trip. Have a lovely day
@@SpanishandGo Of course you're correct ,Tipping the staff at resorts is expected in most countries. Only cheapskates don't want to tip for decent service.
Tipping is exhausting in Mexico. A real downside to visiting the country, basically everyone wants as much as they can get out you.
I don’t see how it’s any different in the U.S., where many people consider anything less than 18% a bad tip.
In Chedraui, the people bagging our purchases actually have a name tag that says "volunteer". They don't get paid; they rely only on tips. Be generous!
I am working in healthcare and I never get any tip from patients…
In Tijuana I tip the taxi driver $1.00. I never use pesos in Tijuana, only US dollars.
Yeah, the cultural traditions tend to mix closer to the border and in places where a lot of people from the U.S. visit. The workers in those areas get used to recieving tips just like taxi drivers in the U.S.
Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

When I go to TJ I get a uber its way more cheaper
I like your videos.
I disagree that tipping at a restaurant of 15-20%. A tip of 10% is the norm, if you tip at all. I have lost count of the times I saw a Mexican family of 10 or more tip nothing.
I know that gringos tip like they would at home.
I am married to a Mexican lady, and at a restaurant, after I leave a tip she looks at the bill and takes half back. This is in Hermosillo.
If I had a good meal, good service, and a good time, I will tip 15-20%.
If I am going to be a regular, I will tip better and get better service.
So she is the cheap one.
I was raised in Mèxico City.
Agreed. Seem like they are encouraging overly generous tipping practices.
Gracias a ustedes muchas personas en México ya NO reciben buenas propinas apesar de dar un buen servicio
¡Hola, Pachis! ¿Cómo andas?
Gracias por ver el video y dejarnos un comentario. ¿Hay alguna situación en especial de la que hablamos en el video que te haya parecido que tal vez no fuimos justos con la cantidad de propina que sugerimos dejar? Si eres Mexicano y trabajas para alguno de los sectores de los que hablamos en el video (turismo o los otros servicios personales que cubrimos) nos interesa mucho saber tu opinión.
¿Cuál crees tú que sería una mejor propina en cada caso?
Muchas gracias otra vez por vernos.
¡Un saludo!
-May
Spanish and Go Hola amigos buenas noches gracias por preguntarme .
Quiero platicarles algo que sucede en MÉXICO en especial Cancún donde hay mucha necesidad acompañada de pobreza ya que vivimos en un país donde hay mucha corrupción y que en la mayoría de empresas explota a sus trabajadores el cual mucha gente vive y sobrevive con las propinas que algunos dan pero por el otro lado Cancún y en todoel país es muy caro la gente esta cansada de salarios de hambre y bueno nosotros amamos a los turistas americanos ya que hay veces que la gente te regala 10 dlls. 20 dlls o quizás 5 dlls pero al hacer este video ustedes estan promoviendo que la gente no reciba buenas propinas. Disculpenme amigos por decirlo pero no hablo mentiras es una cruda realidad en el país .
TRATANOS COMO SI FUERAMOS TUS COMPATRIOTAS. DIOS LOS BENDIGA AMIGOS Y GRACIAS POR RESPONDERME
Entiendo tu punto de vista. Desafortunadamente sí hay mucha necesidad en nuestro país. Soy 100% Mexicana, nacida y criada en el estado de Colima. He sido mesera y he trabajado en la hotelería (justo en Playa del Carmen donde tengo familia también). Yo sé muy bien que las propinas ayudan a muchos que no reciben un buen sueldo.
Decidimos hacer este video en respuesta a otro video que vimos de un chico Canadiense que fue a desayunar a un lugar muy barato en la Ciudad de México y dejó alrededor de 5 pesos de propina (que era más o menos el 10% de lo que había pagado por su desayuno). Mucha gente lo criticó, pero el muchacho no tenía idea de que eso estuviera mal. Él en verdad no sabía cuánto estaba bien dejar de propina ya que en el norte la gente simplemente deja entre el 10 o 15% del total de su consumo. Y es así como se acostumbra hacer en México también.
Entonces ¿por qué está mal que el chico haya dejado $5 pesos cuando pagó $50 pesos por su comida? Bueno, hay cosas que aunque parezcan "la norma" a veces no lo son. Yo no me siento cómoda dejando $5 pesos de propina aún cuando esos $5 pesos sean el 10 o 15 porciento de mi consumo. Y esas cosas se aprenden simplemente de convivir con la cultura de cada lugar. Esa es nustra intención con este video, informar sobre lo que es "normal" o "aceptable" hacer en las situaciones que describimos.
Las propinas vienen de un excelente servicio y esa clase de servicio que supera cualquier expectativa del turista es siempre bien recompensado y está a discreción de cada quien. Por eso es que en este video sugerimos que la gente deje entre 10 o 15 por ciento de propina en CASI cualquier situación, si alguien quiere dejar más ¡genial! eso también lo decimos en el video. Y también hablamos de las situaciones en las que es mejor dejar aún MÁS de lo que se acostumbra.
Sí, hay pobreza en el país. Sí, mucha hay corrupción. Sí, hay muchos problemas en México, pero no creo que sea responsabilidad de los turistas arreglarnos ninguno de estos problemas.
En mi opinión, esa idea de que los extranjeros deben pagar más por cualquier cosa o servicio aquí en México con la idea de que ellos tienen más dinero que nosotros está muy mal y lo veo demasiado injusto. ¿No crees?
-May
Spanish and Go la PROPINA no es que se cobre y no es que PAGEN por tener más la mayoría tienen un corazón más grande Y SABEN EL TIPO DE CAMBIO lo dan por que tienen un corazón más grande disculpame pero si eres mexicana lo imaginaba por eso te escribo en español NO ES POSIBLE QUE ENTRE MEXICANOS NOS ENTERREMOS Y EXTRANJEROS AYUDEN MAS Y POR ESTE MENSAJE QUE DAS PODRIA CAMBIAR UNA ECONOMIA
ES MEJOR DAR QUE RECIBIR SALUDOS
Aún no sé a qué te dediques, pero me imagino que te dedicas al turismo o a algún empleo que se beneficie del turismo. ¿Es así?
A mí me emociona que la gente quiera visitar nuestro país, me llena el corazón escuchar gente decir que están aprendiendo Español con la intención de ir a conocer la cultura y las tradiciones de México. Es la misión detrás de nuestro canal. Que la gente aprenda la lengua, la cultura, las tradiciones, y todo lo que necesiten saber para visitar México y regresar a casa con historias increíbles sobre lo bien que la pasaron en México, los amigos que hicieron, la deliciosa comida que probaron. Queremos que vivan el México que tú y yo como Mexicanos hemos vivido.
Es por eso que cada año vienen amigos y familia de EEUU a visitarnos y a visitar a mi familia, a aprender sobre las tradiciones y sobre la forma en que la gente vive aquí. Y siempre nos preguntan ¿Qué es lo normal? ¿Cuánto debo dejar de propina? ¿Cómo me debo dirigir a alguien mayor? ¿Puedo hablarle de "tú" a alguien que no conozco? Es la clase de preguntas que recibimos a diario casi aquí en youtube, en Facebook, en Instagram, y en nuestra página de Internet. Y ellos nos pregunta porque quiere encajar en la sociedad Mexicana, porque ellos quieren vivir como nosotros los Mexicanos vivimos aquí en nuestro país.
Este video es una sugerencia a como nosotros estamos acostumbrados a dejar propinas, yo no veo una situación en la que un Mexicano te va a dar una propina de más de $350 pesos ($20 usd) por subirle una maleta al coche. Pero nosotros hemos dado propinas mucho mayores por tours súper bien dados donde nos contestaron todas nuestras dudas y nos enseñaron consas que ni nos imaginábamos. Ahí sí, ¡hasta $20 dólares se quedan cortos!
Es como te decía antes, cuando alguien te da un excelente servicio que supera tus expectativas, con mucha razón le dejas una propina que también supera las expectativas. Pero si te fijas, no mencionamos ninguna de estas situaciones en el video simplemente porque depende mucho del valor del servicio que estás pagando y de la experiencia que le toque a cada quien. Yo no puedo recomendarle a alguien que deje $20 dólares de propina por cualquier tour, sin importar qué tan corto o largo fue, o si le gustó o no, o si el guía fue amable o no. Depende de cada situación.
Me gustaría saber específicamente qué parte del video piensas tú que merece una propina mayor.
¿Es mejor dejar propinas de más del 15 porciento en un restaurante? ¿Crees que debes darle más a quien te pone las compras en bolsa en Soriana? ¿No estás deacuerdo con lo de la limpieza del cuarto? o ¿En cuál situación en específico de las que hablamos en el video crees que vale la pena dejar más de propina?
-May
Genial video pero, se a video en el lugares donde no tipos estar necessário, en América mucho lugares há eliminaran de tipos. Abaceria, Gasolina estaciones y restaurantes común es no policía por tipos.
"Tipos" means Kind or types, if you want to say "Tips" use this word "propina"

Ten % max.
This video was very informative. However I was surprised at the suggestion to tip $50 pesos per day to housekeepers. We have been tipping $20 pesos.
Thanks, Don! Now you know. Enjoy Mexico! Hope you have subscribed for more travel and Spanish tips!
Lol I still tip my barber in the US but maybe cause I live in Texas & there’s a lot of Mexicans here 😅 idk
Aahhh y tengo otro comentario para que conozcan los ancianos que trabajan en el super como chedraui o Wal-Mart no les pagan solo lo que las personas le dan por ejemplo yo les doy 20 pesos por varias bolsas o una bolsa 10 pesos pero bueno mi molestia de estas tiendas es que NO LES DAN SALARIOS A ESTOS ANCIANOS O JOVENES QUE TRABAJAN AHI
Because of the tipping history in the USA, Mexico is now getting onboard with this tipping stuff. It's because of the Americans and maybe the Europeans. They are saying Mexico may be less preferred to visit than South America from a savings standpoint.
In our experience, the only places in Mexico where tipping more than 10% is the norm at a restaurant are tourist destinations such as Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Puerto Vallarta. I think this has more to do with people from the USA visiting and having no idea what the tipping culture is in the country, so they tip just like they would in the USA. Locals then get used to this and come to expect it.
I suspect this expected tipping they're learning from the USA but why not ..
Don't tip hostel are Airbnb
En México hay mucha pobreza y las buenas propinas ayudan a la gente
Tiene razon.
Tipping for a service before you actually receive the service doesn't make any sense to me regardless of my location.
Where did you hear you should do that? That wasn’t something we talked about in this video.
@@SpanishandGo with some ride-sharing programs
I’ve never seen this before. Which platform are you talking about? Uber asks you if you want to leave a tip *after* the ride is over, but never before.
Wait how it is a surprise to tip a stylist... in America we tip stylists.... at least I have always tip my hairstylist
It's not common in Mexico unless it's at a high-end place, but it is becoming more expected in touristy places in Mexico and even CDMX. We mentioned because it's the norm in the US and in Mexico it is not. Thanks for watching! -Jim
I've never tipped before in my life.
Marco Mark Productions 🤔 Two questions for you: 1. Have you ever been a waiter before? 2. Why don’t you tip?
@TheCBass92 how many foreigners tip when coming to Canada??? Very few and now they expect us to tip in their country, that's called a hypocrite!
i live in canada and wont tip even when i visit america. its not my job to pay people for doing their job. at sit down restaurant, i tip $1-2 if service was wonderful. If staff was cheap on sauce, they dont get any sauce.
@@asadb1990 love it
@TheCBass92 I spent a few weeks inn the UK and Wales last summer. Tipping was appreciated.
Now I do tip house keeping and eating and drinking there . It just seems most Mexicans native there don't soo ..
Our blog post that goes along with this video has even more info. I think this can help answer your question: spanishandgo.com/travel/the-ultimate-guide-to-tipping-in-mexico
Tip street vendors. And homeless ppl.
This video is not accurate, you are suggesting tourists to tip locals like locals and not like tourist
Where in the world is it requiered that tourists pay more just because they’re tourists? If you’re from some other country and visit the United States, do you think you should be forced to tip beyond the 15-20% of what locals tip? Personally, I don’t think so.
Wow terrible advise. These may be your personal understanding but not very accurate.
What was terrible about it? And who do you think would be more knowledgeable on this subject other than someone who was born and raised in Mexico in a family who’s worked in the service industry for decades? -Jim
Still no response... 🤔
@@SpanishandGo if you've worked in the service industry, of course you are going to suggest being overly aggressive with tipping.
