Cost of Living in Mexico City

Public mexican education is free. Most of Mexicans study in public schools, therefore, if you incluye the cost of prívate education in your Cost of Living estimate, your figures are wrong.

I would like to do my research in Mexico with the fellowship of MXN$ 10,000..is it enough?...i had doubt about the living cost for a month...can anyone tell the living cost in US$...

The salary listed is extremely inflated. The actual *median* salary in Mexico City is 4900 pesos. That is, 50% earn less than that, and 50% earn more. On the other hand, since this website is in English and seems to be geared toward people who have the economic leverage to choose between working in a bunch of different global cities, the amount that the target audience could expect to earn is much more than the median.

The profile of the typical user of this site might also explain some rather inflated figures, as well. 500 pesos for 2 people at a "mid-range" restaurant seems crazy to me - that figure is for an expensive restaurant, but wealthy expats who live, work, and consume in only the most posh neighborhoods may have no idea how unrepresentative their perception of "mid-range" is. And 80 pesos is at the high end of an inexpensive restaurant meal. A typical "comida corrida" meal, a multi-course lunch in a small family restaurant, costs 40-60 pesos. And one great thing about Mexico City is that you can have a good meal at a street stand and spend 30-40 pesos.

The rent is also inflated. The figures for "outside of the city center" are actually pretty good figures for rent living exactly in the city center, in a typical Mexico City apt. The figures for "living in the city center" correspond *not* to the center, but rather to upper middle class areas like Condesa, Del Carmen, Del Valle, and Cuauhtémoc. (Not for luxury apartments, but apartments nicer than what a typical middle class apartment in Mexico City.) The rent in a working class neighborhood or an area further away from business/cultural centers is much less, although many expats would prefer not to live in those areas.

If you're not a businessperson working for an international corp. or highly skilled professional living in an exclusive neighborhood and consuming American/Western European style goods, you can live comfortably and spend less for many of the items listed here.

My entry on a mid range restaurant is based on my recent visit to VIP's a Mexican chain restaurant for lunch no discount offered.
However, food prices in Mexico city tend to vary on which part of the city you are at.
For example, sometimes 4 (four) tacos and a soda at a food truck or improvised restaurant, no decor nor upscale neighborhood could be as expensive as eating in one of these chain restaurants.
I left many spaces blank as I don't drink alcohol and I live at my own place.
US dollar has gone up dramatically in the last three months thus making imported goods quite more expensive, for example 890 grams of US Choice rib eye steaks at Costco - cost cutting club, very popular in North America- can go as much as 700.00 MXN
Opposite to European goods; I was able to buy 250 grams of German brand Davidoff rich aroma coffee for 40.00MXN when the average half a kilo of mexican grown coffee can go as high as 90.00 MXN
Spain's liver pathe for 25.00MXN versus 45.00MXN to the low quality produced in Mexico.
I would be more than glad to help you keeping up to date on the prices that I know of.
I'm a 50 year old single, professional man living on my own so I tend to eat out most of the time.
