I was staying with a buddy in SD for the weekend (who is half Mexican but looks totally white). Anyway, we decided it'd be a great idea to go to Puerto Nuevo for a $13 lobster lunch. He did the drive numerous times before with no problems. So we enter Mexico, all's good, until we get pulled over by the Federales. 2 guys in various colored camo, with 2 big machine guns. The told us we ran a stop sign. We didn't. Anyway, somehow we got off with a warning but I told that story to a lot of people who were in the same situation, and had to take a trip to the ATM to pay these guys off.
I've had great experiences in the touristy parts. I say stick to a city that airplanes fly in and out of and you should be ok.
