Tipping is an important part of Mexican service culture. Server wages are low and tips are essential income. 10–15% at restaurants is expected, and small tips for various service workers are common.
Gas station attendants, parking attendants, grocery baggers (often elderly volunteers), and street musicians also appreciate small tips of MXN 10–20.
