Question

Can I drink the tap water?

Answer

No, The tap water in Mexico is not safe for drinking. however, any Airbnb, hotel, or restaurant in the city will have filtered water for their house water (typically from the faucet). If you are at a random hole in the wall I would avoid it, but anywhere else you will be fine. If they are serving you water or ice as a foreigner at a hotel, it’s fair to assume its drinkable. A rule of thumb is that ice from filtered water is cylindrical with a hole down the middle. If you are in doubt, just ask if the water is filtered or from tap.
