Depends where you're staying. Is it self catering, half board, all inclusive?
MXN 11,000 will provide you with a daily spend of approx £50.00.

Why?

Vegetarians go on holiday as well. And Vegans....
It's a lot harder to get back home to Vega though.

We'll be going to Mexico in a few weeks on a short holiday. We'll take some US dollars in cash (I happen to have some left over from a previous trip, and did not convert them back to GBP).

For the main spend we'll take credit cards that don't charge a fee for each foreign currency transaction, and be sure to rack up all expenses in local currency rather than pay the exorbitant rates to get them billed in GBP.

I'm not sure any of us can answer your question, as none of us knows your budgets, what you like to eat, or drink, whether you need to include accommodation and transfers between airports and other locations in the budget.

We don't know where you will be staying - backwoods places off the tourist trail will be much cheaper than Cancun or Mexico City, for example.

I see from a previous question that it's likely to be Mexico City.

Some good answers were given there, and some of those links also include typical prices.

Having said that, not eating in 'fancy restaurants' could mean almost anything. To some people, a fancy restaurant has three Michelin stars and would cost upwards of GBP150/head (anywhere in the world). Or it could mean everyday restaurants used by locals at below GBP10/head.

The best answer is given above. Work out a daily budget to include accommodation, food, drinks, excursions, car hire, gifts for people back home (or yourselves), taxi transfers and so on. Multiply up to get a total, and there is your estimate.

And, just curious, but why go to Mexico if you don't like Mexican food? I have to say that as in almost every place I've travelled to, real local food is very different from the international version of that local cuisine sold in various 'Mexican' restaurants.

In any case, have fun - and enjoy yourselves :)

Thanks for all your answers, sorry I should of said I am breakfast only in a hotel in the zona rosa area. I am a fussy eater and don't like spicy food. I am happy to try plenty of Mexican desserts and cakes.
There are places around the Zona Rosa where you can get a pizza or pasta - no problem. I`m not a fan of Mexican food either (real Mexican food that is, not the tex mex that everyone thinks is Mexican)
Don't be walking around in Mexico City with a lot of money on you. If you must take cash, leave the bulk of it in a room safe or locked in your suitcase. They don't like US dollars either, needs to be local currency
