Certain areas in Mexico have risks due to cartels. While some cities might have issues, most tourist spots like Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas are generally safe.

Stay safe. Note: Sinaloa is one of the most crime-ridden areas in Mexico. Violent crime is widespread, and there are numerous criminal organisations operating in the state. Popular tourist destinations like Mazatlan and Los Mochis are safe to visit, but driving around the state, especially in remote areas is not.
