Visited Central Mexico for 7 days. Great experience. Scene is as described. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $104/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 8/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Did you use dating apps or find girls at bars?

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $75/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.
