What food can I bring ...

Good Morning, planning a trip to Puerto Penasco in January. Rather confusing trying to find what I can bring with me as far as food is concerned. Find a list that is current. I would like to bring a smoked turkey and raw chicken, hamburger, eggs, milk. All in their original wrappers, containers. Thank you for any info.
  • Been going to Penasco for 10 years and not one time has the refer door been opened by the Mexican authorities. They have opened my booze locker and never said a word. They look in some cabinets checking (not to hard) for drugs and weapons.

    You can purchase everything you mentioned with the exception of the smoked turkey in Mexico. They aren't back woods like a lot of people think Mexico is.
  • Everything you mentioned can be bought in Mexico. You are not helping the Mexican economy by bringing in American food. I can understand someone bringing in their favorite snack os some exotic item. But milk,eggs, chicken ,hamburger. That should be illegal. Why bother coming to Mexico!!

    Although this is not an "official" list by the Mexican government, it's good.

    As much as we always preferred to cross the border in both directions at Lukeville/Sonoyta, they are real sticklers about what you can take into Mexico. They searched us a number of times going in.

    Fortunately almost anything can be purchased in Mexico so we found the list to be easy to comply with.

    Smoked turkeys are easy to get too.
