They are constantly expanding, opening an additional 1,000 to 1,100 per year... that's an average of three stores a day! There's one in Laredo, Texas that I know of. Recently they acquired several existing DK convenience stores in the Southwest states, with plans to rebrand them in the future. Most are open 24/7, usually at the corner of major intersections. The one I went to (between Macheros and Avenida Adolfo López Mateos) was across the street from a 7-Eleven. You can also see another OXXO a couple blocks away. Whenever I told anyone I was going on a cruise, the #1 warning I received was: avoid drinking tap water in Mexico. Purification standards aren't the best here, and you can get very sick (look up Montezuma's Revenge.. not the roller coaster ride at Knott's). So I stopped by to purchase bottled water, better to be safe than sorry! Stick with the major brands like E-Pura (PepsiCo), Ciel (Coca-Cola), Bonafont, etc. Make sure the seal is not broken. Overall it was fun walking around the aisles! Quite a few familiar snacks that I have at home, and lots of interesting ones as well.

When in Mexico, Oxxo is always my convenience market of choice. It's like a 7/11 and it seems like…read morethere's one on every corner. I like coming here to get cheap beer and soda before hitting up one of Ensenada's many incredible street taco carts for lunch. You can get all kinds of Mexican sodas and candy here for super cheap, especially if you spend pesos. Avoid the tourist traps!
