so be careful when you go out in Mexico, If I am you, try to lay low, or just stay in your hotel room!
I just did an entire month in QRO spending 2 nights a week there. We would get in late and I would take the crew for tacos after midnight. I feel very safe in the down town area. I always use the hotel van when I can, but have used taxis in the past too. Maybe it was the area in which that particular crew went out in.

As far as other places in Mexico I try not to stand out. I don't wear my big pilot watch or pilot looking leather jacket. The best thing you can do is ask the hotel where the best places to go are but nothing is ever a sure thing.
