Tips, what is the "right" way to do it's in Zihautanejo.

I’m here 5-6 months a year. I rarely go to the places where tourists would ordinarily go. When I’m in Zihuatanejo at lunch time I’ll usually go to a Fonda in the mercado. On those few occasions when I am in Zihuatanejo in the evening, I’ll go to Papas Locas or the tracks el pastor place across from Scotiabank.

I follow the lead of locals. I’ll tip a taxi if the do something extra or if it is later in the evening. I’ll tip 10% up to 15% for something special. I’m not as generous at Soriana as some other posters here. I’ll leave M$5 if I am picking up a few things and M$10 if it is a larger order.

I confess to being at a loss when I’m at the airport and need a porter. I’ll usually tip M$100/bag. A few years ago I asked an employee at a car rental company about that. He suggested one-half that amount.
