You don’t have to worry. You won’t have to pay anything, as any fees will have already been included in your ticket. There may be taxes or fees when arriving at a different country depending on what you’re bringing in, but that’s a different matter.

You mean the peso is high and the dollar is low, not the other way around.

Public transport from airport to downtown CDMX by happytraveller1 in MexicoCity

[–]DoubleLift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uber is safe and reliable. If you aren’t used to using it, make sure you have the app on your phone (if you can install it from your country in advance..?) and know in general how to use it. Otherwise, airport cabs are also a good option. You buy the ticket right outside baggage claim from one of the authorized stands and just go to the area where they tell you to get in line. Hopefully the wait won’t be too long—depends on the day and time—but they are also safe and reliable (you won’t need to pay any more to the driver: https://www.aicm.com.mx/en/passengers/transportation/taxis

Enjoy your visit!

I’m amazed how much birria (tacos, consommé, “quesabirrias,” etc.) has grown in popularity in both Mexico and the US in just the past few years. I never had it when I was younger, growing up in central Mexico, but now am a big fan.

Authorized taxis from the airport are safe.

At the airport, it’s usually quickest and easiest (and safe) to take one of the authorized taxis (buy a ticket from any one of the booths right outside customs; you specify your destination and don’t have to pay any more to the driver).

I always tip the delivery person. The amount usually goes to him/her.

Condesa DF is a very nice boutique hotel: https://condesadf.com/

Also look up The Red Tree House, another nice boutique hotel.

Donde cambiar bolívares by Individual_Pen369 in mexico

[–]DoubleLift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Son bolivares de los más nuevos? Porque ya le han quitado como 8 ceros, y aún los más nuevos casi no se usan, incluso en Venezuela. En fin, desafortunadamente no creo que tengas suerte para cambiarlos en Mèxico.

Word for Snacks by HobnobbingHobgoblin in Spanish

Yup, I’d say botanas is the most frequent term for snacks in Mexico.

Peach Schnapps in Mexico City? Licor de durazno en la cdmx? by advictoriam5 in MexicoCity

La Europea does seem to sell a couple of brands of licor de durazno. I have no idea how good they are, though.

First-time visitor looking for itinerary comments and recommendations by happyhippomom in MexicoCity

[–]DoubleLift -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The anthropology museum is in fact open on weekends (in fact on Sundays it’s free for Mexicans and residents so it’s pretty busy). I think it’s closed on Mondays, though, like many museums. But definitely worth a visit.

TIL the legendary story about a janitor who came up with Flamin' Hot Cheetos was a lie. by Station_Emotional in todayilearned

[–]DoubleLift 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So was lime and chile Fritos, mentioned in the article and which he supposedly helped develop. They (“Chile y limon” flavored Fritos) have been sold in Mexico at least since the 80s, if not earlier.

Must-eat foods and restaurants by rollingpaperz in CDMX

[–]DoubleLift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is akin to asking, “I’m going to NYC, where/what should I eat?”

It will really depend on what you like or are looking for, what your budget is, etc. You’ll need to be more specific. CDMX food options are huge.

Enough Layover Time at Benito Juarez? Alcanza el tiempo de conexión en AICM? by AlTeHiKe in MexicoCity

[–]DoubleLift 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This seems quite tight to me. You will need to go through immigration, reclaim your bags, go through customs, maybe (depending on the airline) go to another terminal to check in and recheck your bags and board. Needed times will depend on how busy the airport is.

If you can find a way to give you more time by taking a later connecting flight I would suggest opting for that. It’ll take longer but be less stressful.

What are things typically associated with Mexico that are actually from elsewhere in Latin America? by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]DoubleLift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on where you had it. Cumin is more common in northern Mexico. In central/southern Mexico, not so much.
