The prices have doubled for nearly everything since 2020, CV.
In general, people have become ruder, aggressive, and there are more scammers everywhere.
The police in Tijuana stole $300 dollars from me on the pretext of a false accusation. The next day, a hotel refused to give me 100 pesos deposit because I checked out 10 mins late.
Mexico isn't what it used to be, there is a negative energy in general and people are out to get you, especially if you are a foreigner.
I am brown and I speak Spanish yet I felt unwelcome here. Better go to El Salvador, it will overtake Mexico by 2030 in all aspects.
