Yep! US citizens get 6 month tourist visas, so that's nice. And they're not fussy about "visa trips" (renewing by crossing the border). Obviously, that's gonna be a bit harder now.
Finding a place was a real problem, though. They use Facebook Marketplace for everything, and I didn't have a Facebook account (you can't use marketplace until your account is at least 6 months old). On top of that, most places I found were unfurnished (not even a fridge).
If you're gonna move here for a year or less, I think it's best to find a room in a share house. Luckily, I had a friend who had a spare room.
Also, make sure you bring your debit card. I forgot mine. Boy, is that long story.
I'm in a gated community at the moment. Safety is not a concern whatsoever. Even in the city center, it's pretty quiet here. It's pretty dangerous in Mexico City or some places in the North. The danger is pretty localized, so as long as you know what things/places to avoid, you'll be fine. Having a native friend can be pretty helpful here. If not, there's always Reddit.
As far as dining, there are restaurants and street food everywhere. Many places have servicio a domicilio or use Uber Eats. I think Uber Eats is only available in the bigger cities, though.
Laundry is great! If you don't have a washing machine, you take your clothes to a lavandería. They'll wash, dry, and fold all your clothes for about $3. It's pretty convenient.
