If you are a foreigner and travelling in Mexico you will most definitely be scammed by a taxi driver. I myself am a Gringo and have travelled throughout Mexico and my number one tip for anyone travelling in Mexico is to be careful not to get taken by a Taxi Driver. Before you get in a Taxi ask the driver how much it will cost to take you to your destination. If you are travelling alone or with other Gringos or Foreigners they will almost assuredly charge you double or much more than they should. That is why it is always a good idea to travel with a local to avoid being taken advantage of. If you are travelling alone or with fellow foreigners just ask and don't be shy. If the first taxi charges too much, just say thanks and hail down the next taxi. They are everywhere and you will get a good rate if the driver sees you are not going to just pay what they want to charge.
