One word about tips in Mexico, if it’s a service performed, they deserve a tip. Grocery baggers – usually young kids, working to help out their families and pay for school items. Parking lot “attendants” – although we have to sometimes chuckle at these people who wave a red flag to show us which parking spot to use, they are simply trying to make a few pesos to help support their family. Tip them. Restaurants – always try to tip 15%, most all of these smaller places are run by families trying to support themselves. Most Mexicans will go out of their way to help make you happy, and give above and beyond their prescribed duties – tip them in appreciation.
