Best eSIM for Mexico 2026: Cancun, Mexico City & the Riviera

Mexico on mobile data

Mexico City is one of the world great capitals and has excellent mobile coverage. Telcel and AT&T Mexico provide solid 4G across all urban areas. The Riviera Maya from Cancun to Tulum is well covered. Oaxaca, Guadalajara, and Puerto Vallarta have reliable signal. Deep into the Sierra Madre or small villages off the highway, coverage thins, but tourist routes are well served.

Essential apps

Uber and DiDi are the safest transport options in Mexican cities. Do not negotiate with random taxi drivers. Google Translate handles Spanish menus and conversations. Google Maps is essential because Mexican addresses often reference landmarks rather than street numbers, which confuses visitors.

Data recommendation

A week in the Riviera Maya: 5 to 7 GB. Two weeks across Mexico City, the coast, and colonial towns: 10 to 15 GB. Beach resorts have Wi-Fi for poolside scrolling, so your eSIM covers the exploring hours.
