The Water in Mexico
Don’t drink the tap water. I repeat - DON’T DRINK THE TAP WATER. Perhaps you thought this was a traveler’s myth. Its is not. You should not drink the tap water, nor should you brush your teeth in it, or use it to clean contacts, or anything else. You can shower in it. Period. Bottled water is widely available. Buy it. Drink it often. Some will be provided for you in your rooms as well at most housing locations.
As far as foods go, you should ask if fruits and vegetables have been washed with purified water. You should also be wary of drinks with ice. Ask if the ice is made from purified water. If it isn’t, don’t drink it…. Thats aid, I have gone to Mexico a couple of times now, and have not suffered from any stomach upset yet. So as long as you are careful, you should be fine!

Man, that Montezuma guy must still be ticked off all of these years later to want so much revenge.
