"Mexicans are warm and polite; greet with a handshake or nod. Dress modestly when visiting churches (cover shoulders and knees). Tipping is customary: 10-15% in restaurants, small change for hotel staff. Punctuality is relaxed, so don't be surprised if events start late. Respect local traditions and avoid public displays of affection."
