neutral📍 Mexico — general
La propina
The tip (gratuity)
lah proh-PEE-nah
¿Qué significa?
La propina is the tip. In Mexican restaurants 10–15% is customary and often not included — confirm with "¿la propina está incluida?". Tips are also appreciated by supermarket baggers ("cerillitos"), gas attendants, and hotel staff. Cash in pesos is best.
Cómo usarlo
Practical traveler knowledge. Always check whether the tip is already added before leaving more. Round up for taxis, and tip in pesos rather than foreign currency.
