Electrical plugs in Mexico??
Just wondering if the plugs in Mexico are the same as U.S. plugs? We are travelling from Europe but have converters that work with US electrical plugs, but are not sure if they are the same in Mexico. If different, we will need 2 different converters. Thanks for any help!

Same as the US, but you will find many, many places where there are only 2 pin outlets, so a 3 to 2 pin converter would be useful, they are available here if you forget to bring one. The voltage is nominally the same, but in some places fluctuates quite a lot, if you have voltage sensitive equipment (a computer) get a voltage regulator, also available here (they are heavy).

Funny this post made me realize in all my trips to Mexico, I've never brought anything from home that needed to be plugged in!
;-)
My friend brought a Melita drip coffee maker one trip & a tiny TV, and they both worked fine (same as U.S.).
