Visited Mexico for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is active. Pricing fair.
Spent $88/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 9/10. Solid destination.
AMA.
Mexico — overrated or just right?

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.
