love this place, go at least twice a month. my boyfriend usually orders while I grab a table. mention gluten allergy (even though it's not an actual allergy, the word allergy gets more recognition than celiac) typically then they will ask if you want a wrap or a bowl. it's delicious! plus, the staff is so friendly, especially the young blonde guy with a ponytail.
amazing celiac friendly, just tell them you're gluten free so they can make your stuff on a designated with station
Never have a problem getting safe food at any of the five guys locations. Their staff training techniques are impressive!
Ask for a "lettuce wrap" burger-- they might not understand till you ask but it's worth it! Makes eating much easier. Fries are delicious!
Asked manager if the fries are gluten free. He said no. I sent an e-mail to the company asking the same question and I have not heard back. It has been 3 weeks.
1314 Commons Dr #5040, Geneva, IL 60134
they messed up our order multiple times in one order. they put my food in the same bag as my non gluten free family. and they didn't notify me that their cheese wasn't gluten-free. I will not be ever eating there again. hopefully their carelessness doesn't get me sick.

Had severe reactions this is not GF kept trying it and now will never go back

Really great burgers. Make sure you mention allergies. Usually I get a lettuce wrapped patty. The fries are GF (cooked in a separate fryer). They give you enough fries to share!
2525 Parkway, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863
Staff didn't have a clue about gluten free!!! They were also rude when you questioned them about it!
268 Franklin Village Drive, Franklin, MA 02038
Ordered a loaded burger and they wrapped it in lettuce. Have eaten there many times and never experienced cross contamination.
10300 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia, MD 21044
Always great service. Asks if for allergy and they switch gloves every time without me asking. French fries in dedicated fryer too.
580 Shelburne Rd. South Burlington, VT 05403
Great place. Super aware of allergies. You can eat the fries with no fear whatsoever - they're cooked in peanut oil and they're the only things out in there! The fries are awesome. Can't eat the burgers unless you want it without a bun, but I just get the hot dog without a bun and it's fantastic.
101 College Avenue, Athens, GA 30601
Great place! My son has celiac. I told the cashier who informed me they have many gluten wary customers and was very friendly. They offered a burger bowl or lettuce-as-bun version. They brought his out first in its own bag with its own condiments napkins and utensils inside. Plus the awesome fries are gluten free. On an earlier trip (without my son), I asked abt GF options, and they were extremely nice; even the cook came out to explain their processes, and even compared them to a previous restaurant he had worked at. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Safe bet in Athens with a celiac 6 year old! Oh, and it has great views of the Arch and fantastic people-watching.
341 Amherst St., Nashua, NH 03063
Love the lettuce wrap burgers and fresh toppings. The fries could be crispier but they are good and fresh.
7044 Woodlake Commons Loop, Midlothian, VA 23112
These guys are awesome. Very nice and thoughtful! Have followed through with any of my strange requests with a smile. Gluten free does not seem to be a problem here! Always consistent and delicious!
1051 South 750 East, Orem, UT 84097
Tasty! But don't have the fry sauce! They told me it was NOT GF.
17661 Hall Road, Macomb, MI 48044
Great place to get a burger and fries! Employees call it out when it's a food allergy and the staff takes extra care to avoid cross contamination.
310 NE 78th St., Vancouver, WA 98665
I saw Susan's review and wanted to make sure everyone knew five guys is super careful with cross contamination but only if you tell them! when I asked what their gluten free options were he said they had their lettuce wrap and then just a burger bowl, I decided on the lettuce wrap. Then he specifically asked me about cross contamination and yelled to the crew to make sure they knew they had to be careful with mine. the lettuce wrap was awesome by the way and they give you more than enough so to act as an actual bun although I would reccomended not ordering as many sauces with the lettuce wrap, it'll be plenty juicy on its own(:
910 N. 10th Place, Suite A, Renton, WA 98057
I love there food and never have a reaction, my man their music is so loud I can never sit inside and enjoy a meal!!
702 Grand Central Avenue, Vienna, WV 26105
The staff at this Five Guys is very friendly and they do their best to remember customers with allergies and sensitivities. Every time I come in, before I say anything, they are all changing their gloves. There is dedicated space on the grill and I enjoy that I can keep an eye on my food as it is being made. The fryer only fries fries, but be aware they use peanut oil and that there is a general proliferation of peanuts inside the restaurant itself. There is outdoor dining space that is meant to be peanut-free but this rule isn't really enforced.
2100 Red Wolf Boulevard, Jonesboro, AR 72401
If you tell them you have an allergy they use a different prep area and change their gloves. They also announce that there's an allergy to the bun to the entire staff to increase awareness. Super friendly and I'm very sensitive and have never had a reaction.
407 L'Enfant Plaza SW, Washington, DC 20024
I got a bun less burger and fries and a couple hours later had a reaction and feel super sick. Really greasy food would not recommend if you have severe problems.
310 NE 78th St., Vancouver, WA 98665
No GF buns, but really good lettuce wraps. Everything is GF on the menu except buns and malt vinegar! Even the Cajun fries are! :-)
3935 Pelham Rd, Greenville, SC 29615
the food is amazing! the staff is so professional and nice everytime! I get my burger in a lettuce wrap and tell them I have an allergy and they immediately change gloves before making my food!
1395- Enterprise Way, Huntsville, AL 35806
Wonderful AND gluten free! I told them GF and they were very happy to comply. Burger with lettuce for my bun and wonderful fries! I'll be eating at Five Guys again!
560 Washington Street, Middletown, CT 06457
Tastes so good I forgot to miss the bun! Lettuce wrap is awesome!
701 N. Milwaukee Ave, Vernon Hills, IL 60061
They were very knowledgable about being gluten free and changed their gloves often.
7405 FM 1960 Rd E, Humble, TX 77346
Great option, without the bun. They have grilled mushrooms and onions at no charge. It really adds pizzaz to a bunless burger! Peanuts are good too!
364 King Street, Charleston, SC 29401
Five Guys finally does a lettuce wrap that truly surrounds the burger. So happy I can eat the fries too.
85D Faunce Corner Road, North Dartmouth, MA 02747
Far from gluten friendly , got really sick ... The server dropped our fries on the counter which just had bread on it and still have them to us not gonna be visting here again
54 Route 17 North, East Rutherford, NJ 07073
You can get the burgers in a lettuce wrap. Everything is gluten free except the buns. They were careful with cross contamination. It's difficult to eat a burger in a lettuce wrap but it was yummy and the fries are great.
118 North Conistor , Liberty, MO 64068
Five guys is always awesome. their fries are GF according to this document. us_ingredient_allergenguide_2014-1.pdf
1539 Hilliard Rome Road, Columbus, OH 43228
Tried Five Guys based on the previous reviews. Ordered online for takeout. I have to say that for a lettuce wrapped burger this was pretty good. A little greasy but otherwise good. I enjoyed the fries as well. This is a good option when everyone is getting a burger and I need someplace I can get one as well. Take out was pretty fast.
2020 West End, Nashville , TN 37203
Really gone down hill recently. And this from a guy who first loved Five Guys in Charlottesville. Meat quality has declined. Fries weren't even good last time I went. The fries were cool, limp, short and had blemishes. We had to ask for aluminum pans in which to cut our burgers. They don't do wraps any more. It's more like a burger salad. I love their Coke machine, but not enough to compensate for everything else.
2616 N. Maize Rd, Unit 100, Wichita, KS 67205
Great food and understanding staff. Careful on the fries if you're sensitive to high fat items! (They were so good though!)
2887 Dixie Highway, Crestview Hills, KY 41017
Fantastic place to get good old-fashioned burgers and fries, and they are right up front about their buns being the only thing they serve that has gluten. That said, the menu is rather limited and kinda pricey, and you shouldn't even walk past the place if you have peanut allergies! We don't have peanut allergies, so our biggest complaint was that it was way too much food!
First off this is fast, greasy food. Don't come here looking for kale chips or a vegan quinoa salad. This IS an awesome place for an old school burger that tastes great. I've eaten here a bunch and just order "no bun on lettuce" and it's all loaded in a bowl. Love the toppings and fries. I haven't gotten sick ever from Five Guys. If you do have a peanut allergy though stay away...they give out free peanuts and shells are everywhere. Great place to spot when traveling as it has super clean restrooms and a friendly staff. Order online and save time...you skip the line.
180 Paseo del Centro, Fresno, CA 93720
Burgers are great in the lettuce wrap. Cross contamination can occur. However since you can see them making your food. If you know what to look for you can firmly direct them and Have a wonderful meal. Expensive ... but delish.
3863 Medina Road, Fairlawn, OH 44333
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FOOD! I told them I had to be gluten free and they changed gloves and put my burger in a tray with any toppings you want! fries are to die for and gluten free! a bit fast paced you gotta read the menu quickly and be ready to go BUT SO WORTH IT ! 8 MINS and you have your order! ♡♡♡♡♡
2130 East Arbors Drive, Charlotte, NC 28262
Having been gluten free for a year, Five Guys has NEVER gotten me sick. When you order lettuce wrap they ALWAYS ask if it's allergy related. Saying yes means the are very careful and take precautions to make there is no cross contamination. Fries are naturally gluten free and are cooked in a fryer that only cooks fries. Which is why you can NOT eat any fries from any of the big chains.
11670 Commercial Drive #600, Fishers, IN 46038
They have two GF options for burgers: wrapped in lettuce and it a container. I like it wrapped in lettuce. If you have to have GF bun I'd suggest going somewhere or bringing your own
75 Reaville Avenue, Flemington, NJ 08822
The entire staff is always friendly and extremely accommodating when addressing or son's GF needs (celiacs disease). Not to mention the food and restaurant are always top notch. I would have given this particular one six stars if i could. Highly recommended!
121 Federal Road, Brookfield, CT 06804
Like most Five Guys, this place is fantastic. I've been visiting this location for over a year now with no problem. They are always willing to do a lettuce wrap and their french fries are not only super tasty, but guaranteed to be gluten free as it's the only thing they are allowed to fry. The service has always been great as well.
24004 Southwest Freeway, Rosenberg, TX 77471
I can't say enough good things about this place. They handled my gluten and wheat allergy with extreme carefulness. The lady who took my order offered to make mine into a bowl or wrap with lettuce. She informed the people in the kitchen of my allergy and also wrote it on the order. The two workers who handled my food changed their gloves so they would be new. They are very careful and so caring! I didn't get sick here.
487 N. Moorpark Rd., Thousand Oaks, CA 91360
Celiacs can always count on a decent burger and fries at Five Guys nation wide. We are full time RV'ers and travel coast to coast. We've come to expect Five Guys as the go-to place if all else fails (ie hard to find a dedicated gluten free place in small town midwest). The only improvement might be to start offering sweet potato fries.
7252 N. Academy Blvd. Unit 120, Colorado Springs, CO 80920
Great GF lettuce wrap burger and fries. Just really pricey!
614 Missouri 291, Lee's Summit, MO 64086
Five guys offers bunless burgers and hot dogs. When my order was taken, they asked if the bunless request was due to lifestyle or an allergy and I explained I am allergic to wheat. They changed their gloves and the person who handled my husband's food, which did include a bun, did not handle mine. They bagged my food separately and were very conscientious when handling my food and I did not get sick afterwards.
1810 Wilmington Pike, Glen Mills, PA 19342
Wish they had a GF bun, but overall food and prep is great!
3530 Boulevard des Sources, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, QC H9B 1Z9, Canada H9B 1Z9
My friends have been raving about Five Guys finally decided to have their lettuce wrapped burger and fries... Absolutely delicious.... The only non gf items are their buns and the fries are absolutely delicious!!!
43 East Route 59, Nanuet, NY 10954
Good burger , hot dog, French fries. Have nicer gotten sick. Very friendly.
420 Westport Ave, Norwalk, CT 06851
Option to go without bun or wrapped in lettuce. A bit messy but so delicious. Very friendly staff. I don't know if they have a dedicated fryer for the French fries. Free peanuts while you wait too.
No gluten free buns, and it's a sandwich shop. :-(
2467 Nicholasville Rd., Suite 120, Lexington, KY 40503
Always an awesome choice for celiacs! They are so accommodating!

awww, look at your belly. Growing a little tiny life inside and doing simply amazing things. God is amazing, isn't he? I can't wait to see your belly grow and grow.
ReplyDelete how many months is the belly? guess you are excited right? HAPPY WW
out of wordsLooks like it's like your pregnant with baby #1! I remember ALL I wanted was to look pregnant and it took months for anyone to say anything. Hope you're feeling well. There's no fun in being so sick for the first trimester of pregnancy. I have a girlfriend here who is 16 weeks along and has been sick like with head colds, stomach flu and then food poisoning! She's finally regained her strength and ability to eat.
You seem very upbeat! So hang in there! Only 7 months to go!
AudreyWait, that's a PREGNANT belly?! I'd KILL to have that stomach now! lol
Write From KarenThat's about what my belly looked like at 12 weeks with my second pregnancy. Being sick is horrible. Praying it passes soon! How long were you sick with your other pregnancies? I have two October kids so February always brings back memories of being bedridden or hospitalized. It's worth it in the end though. :)

MEXICO - Exercise a high degree of caution
There is no nationwide advisory in effect for Mexico. However, you should exercise a high degree of caution violence, especially in those parts of the country experiencing a deteriorating security situation. Most major tourist areas have not been affected by the extreme levels of violence in the northern region.
The Yucatan Peninsula, which includes the tourist destinations of Cancun, Cozumel, Riviera Maya, Merida and Progreso, has not been significantly affected by violence or insecurity.
We strongly recommend travel to Mexico by air in order to avoid land border crossings through potentially dangerous regions. High levels of criminal activity, as well as occasional illegal roadblocks, demonstrations and protests remain a concern throughout the country. For these reasons, you are strongly advised to sign up with the Registration of Canadians Abroad (ROCA) service if travelling to or residing in Mexico.
Due to high levels of organized crime in rural areas, including on major highways, you should exercise extreme caution in the states of Baja California (North), Morelos, Nayarit, Jalisco, San Luis Potosi, Veracruz, and Zacatecas.
The coastal areas of Jalisco (from Puerto Vallarta to Barra de Navidad) and southern Nayarit (from Nuevo Vallarta to La Peñita de Jaltemba), popular destinations among Canadians, remain relatively safe, as do the Lake Chapala area and the cities of Tepoztlan, Guadalajara, San Luis Potosi, Xalapa, Veracruz, and Zacatecas. When travelling in these regions, exercise extreme caution when venturing outside urban areas.
Regional Advisory for the Northern states
Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada advises against non-essential travel to the northern states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Nuevo León (except the city of Monterrey), Sinaloa (with the exception of Mazatlán), Sonora (except the cities of Hermosillo and Guaymas/San Carlos), and Tamaulipas due to continuously high levels of violence linked to organized crime. Consult the Security tab for more information.
Regional Advisory for the South-Western states
Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada also advises against non-essential travel to the south western states of Michoacán (excluding the city of Morelia) and Guerrero (excluding the cities of Ixtapa, Taxco and Zihuatanejo, as well as the tourist zone of Acapulco) due to the high levels of violence and organized crime. Exercise a high degree of caution in the excluded areas. Consult the Security tab for more information.
The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The Government of Canada takes the safety and security of Canadians abroad very seriously and provides credible and timely information in its Travel Advice. In the event of a crisis situation that requires evacuation, the Government of Canada's policy is to provide safe transportation to the closest safe location. The Government of Canada will assist you in leaving a country or a region as a last resort, when all means of commercial or personal transportation have been exhausted. This service is provided on a cost-recovery basis. Onward travel is at your personal expense. Situations vary from one location to another, and there may be constraints on government resources that will limit the ability of the Government of Canada to provide assistance, particularly in countries or regions where the potential for violent conflict or political instability is high.
More than 1.9 million Canadians travel to Mexico each year, the vast majority of them without incident.
Northern states (see Advisory)
Shootouts, attacks and illegal roadblocks may occur without warning. Criminals especially target sport utility vehicles and full-size pickup trucks for theft and carjacking along highways. Avoid inter-city road travel in the northern states.
Travel to and within Ciudad Juarez poses particular challenges and requires extreme caution.
Exercise a high degree of caution when travelling in the city of Monterrey, avoid movement after dark and stay within the suburb of San Pedro Garza García.
South-Western states (see Advisory)
Criminal activity has significantly increased in the states of Jalisco, Guerrero and Michoacán. Illegal roadblocks and demonstrations have been reported on a more frequent basis. The deterioration of the security situation is particularly noticeable in the rural areas of Guerrero and Michoacán. The rapid expansion of vigilante militias is troubling, and there have been instances where such groups have fired at vehicles that did not adhere to their roadblocks.
Organized crime
In northern Mexico, particularly along the border with the United States, organized crime and urban violence affect security. Confrontations between organized criminal groups and Mexican authorities continue to pose a problem. This has led to an increase in illegal roadblocks, robberies, kidnappings and carjackings, including in the city of Monterrey.
Heavily armed gangs have attacked travellers driving through Matamoros, Reynosa, and Nuevo Laredo in the state of Tamaulipas but also on several highways in the states of Nuevo León, Coahuila, Durango, and Sinaloa. Violence related to organized crime has increased in the states of Guerrero (including Acapulco), Sinaloa (including Mazatlán), Morelos, Nayarit, Michoacán, San Luis Potosi, Veracruz, and Zacatecas, and Jalisco.
In some parts of the country, military and federal police forces have been deployed in efforts to combat organized crime and improve security conditions. They maintain a visible presence patrolling the streets, setting up roadblocks, and conducting random vehicle checks. Armed clashes between security forces and criminal groups do occur in certain areas without warning. You could get caught in the crossfire.
Crime rates in Mexico are high. Arrest and detention rates are low and contribute to high levels of criminality.
If you are the victim of a crime, report it immediately to the Agencia del Ministerio Público nearest to the crime scene. No criminal investigation is possible without a formal complaint to Mexican authorities.
Complaints must be made in person before leaving Mexico. You must present photo identification. It is especially important to report the loss or theft of your identification documents, both to Mexican authorities and to the nearest Canadian consular point of service in Mexico, in order to protect yourself should the documents later be misused.
Law enforcement and police presence is often lacking near the border with Guatemala, particularly in the state of Chiapas.
Theft—including armed robbery, purse snatching, and pickpocketing—is common in Mexico. If you are threatened by robbers, stay calm and do not resist. Canadians have been injured while trying to resist armed robberies. You should be aware of your surroundings at all times, even in areas normally considered safe, and take precautions to secure your belongings and minimize your risk of becoming a target for thieves. Blend in, avoid wearing or carrying expensive jewellery, and carry only small amounts of cash. Keep your luggage secure at all times. In resort areas, leave your passport and valuables in your hotel safe, not in your hotel room or on the beach, while you are swimming.
Foreigners have been targeted in assault and robbery incidents, which are often violent. Victims have been followed after exchanging or withdrawing money at airports, currency exchange bureaus (casas de cambio), and automated banking machines (ABMs). Avoid withdrawing or exchanging money in public areas of the airport. If a financial transaction is absolutely necessary, ensure only small amounts are involved and execute the transaction before exiting the customs area.
Withdraw or exchange money at ABMs or exchange bureaus during daylight hours only, and inside reputable hotels and malls rather than on the street. Always conceal the keypad when entering your personal identification number, even if nobody else is around. Keep your credit card in sight when paying for goods and services.
Incidents of physical and sexual assault against foreigners have been reported, in some cases implicating hotel employees, taxi drivers, and security personnel. Avoid walking after dark, especially alone, and avoid deserted or under-populated areas. You should only frequent bars and nightclubs as part of a group and avoid separating from the group. In cases of sexual assault, police authorities will require a medical examination.
Be wary of accepting snacks, beverages, gum, or cigarettes from new acquaintances, as they may contain drugs that could put you at risk of sexual assault and robbery. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, and do not accept invitations or rides from strangers or recent acquaintances, as this can make you a more vulnerable target for criminals.
Demonstrations and protests occur regularly. Avoid large gatherings, as they could erupt into violent incidents at any time. Demonstrations and roadblocks are common in Mexico City (including to and from the airport) and in the states of Guerrero, Michoacán and Oaxaca. Participation in political demonstrations by foreigners is prohibited and may result in detention, expulsion, and the denial of future entry into Mexico.
Kidnappings, including the kidnapping of Canadian citizens (and contractors working for Canadian businesses), do occur in Mexico, affecting primarily persons working in rural areas, located outside the areas of stronger institutional control of police and government authorities.
Kidnappers target both the wealthy and middle class. Foreigners are not specifically targeted but may be perceived as being wealthy.
Express kidnappings, i.e. attempts to get quick cash in exchange for the release of an individual, occur frequently in large urban areas. The most common practice involves thieves working in cooperation with, or posing as, taxi drivers. The thieves force victims to withdraw money from ABMs with their debit or credit cards in exchange for their release. Victims are sometimes held overnight so that a second withdrawal up to the victim's daily bank withdrawal limit can also be made the following day. Avoid hailing taxis on the street and instead call a reputable taxi company or use the taxi services located at a major hotel.
A common scam throughout Mexico is 'virtual' kidnapping, where a perpetrator identifies a person who is temporarily unreachable by cell phone or email, and then contacts that person's family claiming that they have kidnapped their loved one, and demanding an immediate ransom for their release. When the family members cannot reach their loved one in Mexico, they may assume that the person has been kidnapped, when in fact they are simply unreachable. Perpetrators may use social media sites to gather information about potential victims.
Any kidnapping, real or virtual, should be reported to the police as well as to the Embassy of Canada in Mexico City or the nearest Canadian consulate.
Criminals posing as police officers approach tourists and ask for their passports or for foreign currency.
Legitimate police officers have extorted money from tourists or arrested tourists for minor offences or traffic violations. If this occurs, do not hand over your money or your passport. Instead, ask for the officer's name, badge and patrol car number, the location of the arrest, and the written fine payable at a later date. Should you feel the fine cannot be justified, proceed to the nearest Agencia del Ministerio Público or Tourism Office to file a complaint.
Do not divulge personal information to strangers either in person or over the phone. Virtual kidnapping by telephone is a common practice in Mexico. Should you receive a call from someone demanding payment for the release of an arrested or kidnapped family member, remain calm, note the phone number of the person calling, hang up, and report the call to local police. Scam artists have also gathered information on luggage tags in hotel lobbies and later convinced guests to give them their contact information in Canada. Afterwards, they have called parents of travelling Canadians to report that their child has been detained or hospitalized and have requested that money be wired to Mexico. If this occurs, parents or friends should request the name and number of the caller and contact the Emergency Watch and Response Centre in Ottawa (see Help Abroad).
Road safety
Avoid road travel at night between cities throughout the country. Toll (cuota) highways are safer than secondary highways. Overnight, ensure that you only stop in major centres, at reputable hotels or secure campsites.
Road conditions vary and can be poor in some areas. Dangerous curves, poorly marked signs and construction sites, roaming livestock, slow-moving or abandoned vehicles, and other obstacles pose hazards.
Mexican driving styles and road safety standards are very different from those in Canada. Police do not regularly patrol the highways. Be prepared for drivers that fail to observe speed limits, indicate lane changes, or stop at red lights. Pedestrians should be extremely cautious at all times. Fatal hit-and-run accidents occur. Keep your car doors locked and the windows rolled up, especially at traffic lights, where you can be a target for criminals.
In the event of a vehicle breakdown or roadside emergency, a highway patrol service offered by the Mexican Ministry of Tourism (SECTUR), called the Green Angels (Angeles Verdes), provides free assistance on all major toll highways from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. In case of an emergency, dial 078 or the toll-free number in Mexico, 01-800-006-8839.
Scooter rentals
The number of moped and scooter accidents involving tourists is increasing. Avoid renting from operators who do not provide insurance and who do not provide a helmet with the rental. Be vigilant while driving. Avoid driving on roads in disrepair and refrain from driving at night.
Public transportation
Although public transportation is relatively safe, take precautions in airports, bus stations, and the Mexico City metro, which are often very crowded and popular areas for pickpockets. Avoid travelling late at night and during rush hour, if possible, and exercise caution at all times.
Canadians have been robbed on buses, usually at night. Keep an eye on your luggage, money, and personal documents at all times. Bus accidents occur frequently due to speeding, poor road conditions, and mountainous terrain. You should travel during daylight hours and on first-class buses only.
Hitchhiking is not a common practice in Mexico and is not recommended.
You should only use hotel taxis or taxis based at designated stands (sitios). In Mexico City, all government-authorized taxis have licence plates starting with an A or a B. Taxis from designated stands have both the logo of their company and the plate number stamped on the side of the car. Always ask the dispatcher for the driver's name and the taxi's licence plate number, model, and colour. When arriving at Benito Juárez Airport in Mexico City, you should only use airport taxis, after prepaying the fare inside the airport. Ask to see the driver's official identification.
Scooter rentalsThe number of moped and scooter accidents involving tourists is increasing. Avoid renting from operators who do not provide insurance and who do not provide a helmet with the rental. Be vigilant while driving. Avoid driving on roads in disrepair and refrain from driving at night.
Air transportation
See Transportation Safety in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
General security information
Monitor local news sources on a regular basis to learn about events that could affect your personal safety. Leave your itinerary and contact information with friends or family in Canada.
On beaches, take posted warnings about swimming conditions seriously. Many beaches are not supervised or do not offer warnings. When in doubt, consult hotel staff.
Ensure that the recreational activities you choose are covered by your travel insurance or by a local insurance policy, and that sporting and aquatic equipment is safe and in good condition, especially for scuba diving. Many operators do not conduct regular safety checks. Canadians have been involved in accidents in the past where operators of recreational vehicles such as scooters and watercrafts demanded compensation in excess of the value of the damage caused to the vehicle or equipment.
Exercise caution when standing close to balcony railings, as falls have resulted in deaths and injuries.
Height standards for balcony railings in Mexico can be considerably lower than those in Canada.
For emergency services, dial 060 or 066.
Entry/exit requirements
Entry/exit requirements
It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry requirements. The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from the Mexican authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the Embassy of the United Mexican States or one of its consulates for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadian citizens, including those with dual citizenship, must present a valid passport in order to enter and exit Mexico. Canadians without a valid passport will be refused entry and returned to Canada. The passport must be valid until the date of expected departure from Mexico. Before you leave, ask your transportation company about its requirements related to passport validity, which may be more stringent than the country's entry rules.
Permanent residents and landed immigrants of Canada should check for specific entry requirements with the Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM).
Persons seeking to enter Mexico for purposes other than tourism must have a proper visa. Foreigners involved in unauthorized activities will be expelled. Special and diplomatic passport holders require a visa to visit Mexico. Consult the Embassy of Mexico in Canada for more information.
Tourist card (Multiple Migratory Form for Foreigners, or FMM, provided by airlines or at points of entry): required
Business visa (FMM): required
Work visa: required
Student visa: required
Children and travel
Children need special documentation to visit certain countries. See Children for more information.
Tourist card
Canadian tourists do not require a visa or a tourist card for stays of 72 hours or less within the border zone (20 to 30 kilometres from the U.S. border). For travel to Mexico beyond the border zone, Canadians must be in possession of a tourist card, also called the Multiple Migratory Form for Foreigners (FMM). This document is provided by airlines or by immigration authorities at the country's points of entry. If you enter Mexico by land, it is your responsibility to stop at the immigration facility located at the border.
In order to obtain a tourist card, Canadians must present a valid passport.
Ensure that you obtain a tourist card and have it stamped by immigration authorities upon arrival (whether by plane, bus, private vehicle or on foot). As per the Mexican immigration legislation that came into force in November, 2012, you will no longer be able to obtain a tourist card once you reach your final destination within Mexico. If you fail to obtain a tourist card upon arrival, your entry will be considered illegal and you might be fined, detained or expelled from the country. Consult the Embassy of Mexico in Canada for more information on land border entry.
An immigration official will determine the number of days you can remain in Mexico. Do not assume that you will be granted the full 180 days. You may request an extension of your stay from the INM or at one of its local offices.
Authorities can demand to see your tourist card at any time. You must carry the original at all times and surrender it when leaving Mexico or face a fine and/or expulsion.
Tourism tax
Mexican authorities impose a tourism tax (approximately US$20) on all visitors to Mexico. This fee is normally included in airline ticket prices. Visitors arriving by road (car or bus) or sea will be asked to pay this fee at any bank in Mexico (there is a bank representative at every port of entry). The bank receipt must be attached to the tourist card for submission at departure. Visitors entering by land for tourism purposes only are exempt if their stay does not exceed seven days. Visitors to the northern border zone (20 to 30 kilometres from the U.S. border) and those going to Mexico on cruise ships are exempt.
Work visa
It is recommended that you apply for your visa yourself. However, if a prospective employer is processing your business (or work) visa for you, ensure that you receive copies of all correspondence between the employer and Mexican immigration authorities, and that these copies are stamped by the immigration authorities as proof that your papers are indeed being processed. You should also request a receipt from your employer for any documents (for example, your Canadian passport) that you provide for purposes of obtaining the visa. It is not recommended that your employer keep your passport for you.
Dual citizenship
Mexico recognizes dual citizenship for persons born in Mexico or abroad to Mexican parents. Under Mexican law, dual citizens entering and departing from Mexico must identify themselves as Mexican citizens. Travellers who possess both Mexican and Canadian citizenship must carry valid travel documents of both countries. A Certificate of Canadian Citizenship is not a travel document. A Canadian passport is the only reliable and universally accepted travel and identification document available to Canadians for the purpose of international travel.
Criminal records
Canadians with a criminal record may be refused entry and returned to Canada on the next available flight. If you find yourself in this situation, contact the Embassy of Mexico prior to making travel arrangements.

Routine Vaccines
Be sure that your routine vaccines are up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Vaccines to Consider
You may be at risk for these vaccine-preventable diseases while travelling in this country. Talk to your travel health provider about which ones are right for you.
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A is a disease of the liver spread through contaminated food and water or contact with an infected person. All those travelling to regions with a risk of hepatitis A infection should get vaccinated.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver spread through blood or other bodily fluids. Travellers who may be exposed (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment, sharing needles, tattooing, acupuncture or occupational exposure) should get vaccinated.
Seasonal influenza occurs worldwide. The flu season usually runs from November to April in the northern hemisphere, between April and October in the southern hemisphere and year round in the tropics. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus spread from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Get the flu shot.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease and is common in most parts of the world. Be sure your measles vaccination is up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Rabies is a deadly illness spread to humans through a bite, scratch or lick from an infected animal. Vaccination should be considered for travellers going to areas where rabies exists and who have a high risk of exposure (i.e., close contact with animals, occupational risk, and children).
Yellow Fever Vaccination
Yellow fever is a disease caused by a flavivirus from the bite of an infected mosquito.
Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection.
* It is important to note that country entry requirements may not reflect your risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) you will be visiting to verify any additional entry requirements. | |

Food and Water-borne Diseases
Travellers to any destination in the world can develop travellers' diarrhea from consuming contaminated water or food.
In some areas in Central America and Mexico, food and water can also carry diseases like cholera, hepatitis A and typhoid. Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in Central America and Mexico. Remember: Boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
Cholera is a bacterial disease that is most often spread by drinking water or eating food that has been contaminated. It causes diarrhea and in severe cases it can lead to dehydration and even death.
Most travellers are at very low risk. Travellers at higher risk include those visiting, working or living in areas with limited access to safe food, water and proper sanitation, or to areas where outbreaks are occurring. Travellers at higher risk should discuss with a health care provider the benefits of getting vaccinated.
Travellers' diarrhea
- Travellers' diarrhea is the most common illness affecting travellers. It is spread from eating or drinking contaminated food or water.
- Risk of developing travellers' diarrhea increases when travelling in regions with poor standards of hygiene and sanitation. Practise safe food and water precautions.
- The most important treatment for travellers' diarrhea is rehydration (drinking lots of fluids). Carry oral rehydration salts when travelling.
Typhoid is a bacterial infection spread by contaminated food or water. Risk is higher among pediatric travellers, travellers going to rural areas, visiting friends and relatives or travelling for a long period of time. Travellers at high risk visiting regions with typhoid risk, especially those exposed to places with poor sanitation should speak to a health care provider about vaccination.
Insects and Illness
In some areas in Central America and Mexico, certain insects carry and spread diseases like American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease), chikungunya, dengue fever, leishmaniasis, malaria, onchocerciasis (river blindness), and West Nile virus.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
There is currently an outbreak of chikungunya in this country. Chikungunya is a viral disease spread through the bite of an infected mosquito that typically causes fever and pain in the joints. Protect yourself from mosquito bites, particularly around sunrise and sunset. There is no vaccine available for chikungunya.
Dengue fever
- Dengue fever occurs in this country. Dengue fever is a viral disease that can cause severe flu-like symptoms. In some cases it leads to dengue haemorrhagic fever, which can be fatal.
- The risk of dengue is higher during the daytime, particularly at sunrise and sunset.
- Protect yourself from mosquito bites. There is no vaccine or medication that protects against dengue fever.
- There is a risk of malaria in certain areas and/or during a certain time of year in this country.
- Malaria is a serious and occasionally fatal disease that is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. There is no vaccine against malaria.
- Protect yourself from mosquito bites. This includes covering up, using insect repellent and staying in enclosed air-conditioned accommodations. You may also consider pre-treating clothing and travel gear with insecticides and sleeping under an insecticide-treated bednet.
- Antimalarial medication may be recommended depending on your itinerary and the time of year you are travelling. See a health care provider or visit a travel health clinic, preferably six weeks before you travel to discuss your options.
Animals and Illness
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, monkeys, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats. Some infections found in Central America and Mexico, like rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.
Person-to-Person Infections
Crowded conditions can increase your risk of certain illnesses. Remember to wash your hands often and practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette to avoid colds, the flu and other illnesses.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV are spread through blood and bodily fluids; practise safer sex.
Medical services and facilities
Medical services are easily available in large cities but limited in remote areas. Standards of patient care differ from those in Canada and vary greatly among medical facilities, especially in beach resort areas.
Private hospitals and clinics offer good-quality care but are generally expensive and expect payment in advance. Many will not agree to deal directly with medical insurance companies. Be prepared to pay for treatment yourself and then request a refund from your insurer If medical services are required, contact your tour representative or the closest Canadian government office to obtain a list of reputable facilities or physicians in the area.
Pharmacies in main cities carry most medicines. It is advisable to consult a physician before purchasing medicine manufactured in Mexico. If you take prescription medication, bring along an adequate supply and a copy of the prescription. Ensure that both the generic and trade names of the drug are stated.
To determine whether a particular medication is controlled in Mexico and requires a prescription from a doctor, consult the Mexican Federal Commission for Protection Against Health Risks (in Spanish) and the Embassy of Mexico in Canada.
Medicine cannot be mailed by courier services from Canada.
Health tips
When travelling to Mexico City, you may experience health problems caused by high altitude, in addition to problems caused by air pollution, which is at its peak during the winter months. Individuals with heart, lung, or respiratory problems should consult their doctor before booking their trip.
Keep in Mind...
The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.
Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack a travel health kit, especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.
Laws & culture
Laws & culture
You are subject to local laws. Consult our Arrest and detention page and our Overview of the criminal law system in Mexico for more information.
Illegal activities
Penalties for breaking the law in Mexico can be more severe than in Canada, even for similar offences.
Penalties for drug offences are very strict, and convicted offenders can expect lengthy jail sentences.
You should avoid any involvement with illegal substances or those who deal with them. You should also avoid borrowing a vehicle or picking up hitchhikers; drivers are legally responsible for their vehicle's contents, as well as for the legal status of passengers and the items carried by passengers.
The Mexican government strictly enforces its laws concerning possession, entry, and trafficking of firearms. Anyone (including foreign armed forces personnel) entering Mexico with a firearm or ammunition without prior written authorization from Mexican authorities is subject to imprisonment. It is also illegal to enter the country with certain types of knives. You can obtain a complete list of forbidden items and import permit requirements from the Embassy of Mexico in Canada.
It is illegal to drink alcoholic beverages in non-designated public areas. The minimum age at which people are legally allowed to purchase or consume alcoholic beverages is 18 years old.
Participation in political activities (such as demonstrations) by foreigners is prohibited and should be avoided, as it may result in detention, deportation, or the denial of future entry into Mexico.
It is illegal to possess archaeological artefacts or to export such items from Mexico.
Dual citizenship
Dual citizenship status may limit the ability of Canadian officials to provide consular services. See Dual citizenship for more information.
Tourists are allowed to bring in their personal effects duty-free. Failure to declare personal effects will result in their confiscation and a fine. Mexican customs provides information regarding entry into Mexico by air or land. When carrying more than US$10,000 or its equivalent in other currencies, cash, cheques, money orders, or any other monetary instrument, you must declare the amount exceeding US$10,000. Failure to make this declaration is against Mexican law and often results in detention.
If you wish to donate goods, contact the Embassy of Mexico in Canada before sending or importing goods to Mexico in order to fulfill the importation permit requirements.
Identity documents
Mexican authorities require that the names indicated on your identity documents (generally your passport) be identical to those appearing on your birth certificate before issuing official documents, such as marriage certificates, immigration documents or Mexican passports. Many Canadians have encountered significant difficulties due to this requirement, as middle names are often left off Canadian identity documents. If you plan on residing in Mexico or dealing with Mexican Civil Registry, you should obtain a Canadian passport that will meet Mexican requirements.
Vehicles and Boats
Canadian driver's licences are valid in Mexico. The police sometimes ask foreigners to show identification and proof of their legal status in Mexico. You should always carry valid photo identification, your passport, visa, and other documents. Leave a certified copy of your vehicle registration with relatives or friends in Canada.
a) Rentals
The contract for a rental vehicle must be in the traveller's name and include a full description of the vehicle.
b) Company-owned vehicles
You must produce proof of employment and of the vehicle's ownership by the company.
c) Importation
Mexico has very strict rules regarding the entry of foreign vehicles and boats. Do not enter Mexico without having obtained the proper importation permit and car/boat insurance. Without a permit, you may be fined and have your vehicle seized. Contact the Embassy or a consulate of Mexico in Canada to verify the latest regulations and requirements regarding vehicle and boat importation. Complete information is available from Aduana México.
Motor vehicles
If you wish to travel beyond the border zone (20 to 30 kilometres from the U.S. border) with your car, you must obtain a Temporary Vehicle Importation Permit (Solicitud de importación temporal de vehículos). The permit can only be obtained at the port of entry or online at Aduana México before crossing the border into Mexico.
You are only allowed to bring one vehicle into the country at a time. Those travelling with a recreational vehicle are not entitled to tow a second vehicle unless it is registered in the name of an accompanying traveller. The second vehicle should not exceed the weight limit of 3.5 tons. It is the owner's responsibility to obtain the permit through the Banco Nacional del Ejército, Fuerza Aérea y Armada or Aduana México 10 to 180 days before departure. Permits can also be obtained at one of the Mexican consulates located in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Bernardino, Albuquerque, Denver, and Phoenix, or at a customs office located along the U.S.-Mexico border or, in some cases, within an authorized border zone. Watch for signs indicating customs checkpoints and Banjercito Bank locations (where permits can be issued and cancelled).
If you stay beyond the date indicated on the Temporary Vehicle Importation Permit, your vehicle may be seized.
When leaving Mexico, you must return your Temporary Vehicle Importation Permit in person, along with the vehicle with which you entered the country, to any customs office at the border so that the permit can be cancelled. Keep a copy of the cancellation documents. Neither the Embassy of Canada in Mexico City nor the Embassy of Mexico in Ottawa can return these permits on behalf of Canadian citizens. It is not permissible to mail your permit to the border point. As long as the permit remains in effect, you will be unable to import another vehicle into Mexico. You may be able to cancel the permit on a future visit to Mexico if you enter at the same border point with the same vehicle; however, a fine may be imposed.
In cases where the permit holder cannot exit the country with the vehicle (for example, in case of death or sickness), the person driving the car out of Mexico must be a foreigner with a valid tourist card and have documentation to prove the relationship with the car owner, such as a marriage or birth certificate.
It is the owner's responsibility to obtain the importation permit through the Banco Nacional del Ejército, Fuerza Aérea y Armada or Aduana México 7 to 60 days before departure. Permits can also be obtained at one of the Mexican consulates located in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Bernardino, Albuquerque, Denver, and Phoenix.
Further information and online application forms can be found at Banco Nacional del Ejército, Fuerza Aérea y Armada (available in English and French).
d) Purchasing/selling
Foreigners who wish to purchase a car in Mexico must hold either temporary or permanent residency in Mexico, be able to pay vehicle taxes, and obtain Mexican licence plates. If you are interested in buying a car, consult local authorities.
It is illegal to sell your imported vehicle in Mexico. If you do, your vehicle may be seized and you may be subject to a fine and deportation.
Canadian automobile insurance is not recognized in Mexico. You must obtain additional insurance at the Mexican border. Full coverage is recommended, including coverage for legal assistance. Automobile insurance is much more expensive in Mexico than in Canada. Many local drivers do not have any form of car insurance.
For more information on Mexican driver's permits, vehicle inspection, road tax, or mandatory insurance, please contact the SECTUR at 1-866-640-0597 (toll free from Canada).
Accidents and fines
In case of an accident or theft of your vehicle, you should immediately obtain a police report from the nearest police station (Ministerio Público) and present it to the Mexico City customs office (Aduanas) in order to cancel the Temporary Vehicle Importation Permit no later than five days after the incident. If you are involved in a traffic accident, you may face serious legal problems, including imprisonment. You could be taken into custody until responsibility for the accident is determined and all penalties are paid. If you do not have Mexican liability insurance, you could be prevented from leaving the country until all parties agree that adequate financial satisfaction has been received. Depending on the extent of injuries or damages, drivers may face criminal charges. Motor vehicle insurance is considered invalid in Mexico if the driver is found to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the accident, or if the driver has no valid driver's licence.
If you receive a fine for a driving infraction in certain parts of the country, the issuing police officer is obligated by law to retain your driver's license or registration until the fine is paid. Expect delays in recovering the document.
Driving restrictions
In order to reduce air pollution, time and day restrictions are imposed on driving in Mexico City as well as other regions of the country. Based on licence plate numbers, there is at least one day each week and one Saturday per month when driving is forbidden. This applies equally to permanent, temporary, and foreign plates. These regulations are strictly enforced. Offenders face heavy fines and temporary confiscation of their vehicle.
A supplementary driving restriction has been implemented in Mexico City. Vehicles without plates from the State of Mexico (Estado de México) or the Federal District (DF) are not allowed to circulate from Monday to Friday from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. For more information, consult the Mexico City Ministry of the Environment (in Spanish). An exemption to this driving restriction may be obtained for cars with foreign plates by requesting a permit, the Pase Turístico (tourist pass), which is granted either for two periods of seven days or one period of 14 days in a six-month period. In order to obtain the tourist pass, you must register at Pase Turístico (in Spanish).
Real estate
You may acquire real estate in Mexico. However, you should consult a lawyer, as real estate transactions, laws, and practices can be complex and differ considerably from those in Canada. Choose your own lawyer or notary and avoid hiring the one recommended by the seller. Mexican real estate agents are not licensed or regulated.
Research potential property purchases carefully, as irregularities occur, most frequently title challenges, which may result in litigation and possible eviction. Trusts do not guarantee that the purchase is legitimate. Visit the local Property Registry (Registro de Propiedad) and ask to see the property registry to confirm the name of the last owner and the fact that the property is free of any mortgage.
Time-share agreements
Reports of problems with time-share arrangements (including cancellation of contracts and fraudulent sales) have increased. Be prepared for the possibility of being approached by persistent time-share representatives on the street, as well as at the airport or on the way to your hotel. Be prepared for common pressure tactics, such as being told that promotions are only valid for that day and being offered free tours, meals, gifts, or alcoholic beverages.
Before purchasing a time-share, gather as much information as possible, research the properties, and even get a legal opinion. If you do decide to buy, be sure to carefully review the contract. Anything not included in the contract will not be honoured. Only provide your credit card if you are certain you wish to make the purchase.
Cancellation of contracts: Time-share companies have requested that their clients sign a waiver that prevents them from cancelling the contract. Such practices are illegal. Mexican law stipulates that consumers are legally entitled to cancel a time-share contract without penalty; however, the cancellation must be done within five working days starting from the day following the original date of purchase. Cancellations of contracts must be done in writing and must be presented directly to the time-share company. Keep copies of all correspondence.
Fraudulent sale of time-shares: Companies and individuals may approach you claiming to have a buyer for your time-share and asking you to pay taxes beforehand. After payment of the so-called "taxes", Canadians have discovered that their time-share was never sold. If you experience any difficulties with a time-share company, you should immediately contact the Mexican Consumer Protection Agency, the Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor (PROFECO).
Rental agreements between two individuals in Mexico are considered a private matter and are not regulated by the government. Should you encounter difficulties with a rental agreement and wish to take legal action, you will be required to obtain the services of a Mexican lawyer.
The currency is the Mexican peso (MXN/MXV). Automated banking machine services are available throughout the country. Canadian debit and credit cards are widely accepted; however, Canadian currency and traveller's cheques are not. Some Canadians have recently reported that they were unable to withdraw cash from automated banking machines using Canadian debit cards. Consult with your bank before you travel.
There is a limit to the amount of U.S. dollars that both residents and foreigners can exchange in Mexico, depending on your immigration status in Mexico. Although the rule does not apply to Canadian dollars, some financial institutions, hotels, and currency exchange bureaus are not making the distinction.

What is 0-10V Dimming? Used as an early fluorescent dimming system and still used today, 0-10V dimming has been adapted to become a reliable LED dimming control protocol. 0-10 V is one of the earliest and simplest electronic lighting control signaling systems; simply put, the control signal is a DC voltage that varies between zero and ten volts. The controlled lighting should scale its output so that at 10 V, the controlled light should be at 100% of its potential output, and at 0 V it should at the lowest possible dimming level.
What should I look for when picking a 0-10V controller? Often, dimming ballasts and dimming LED power supplies use 0-10V control signals to control dimming functions. In many cases, the dimming range of the power supply or ballast is limited. If the light output can only be dimmed from 100% down to 10%, there must be a switch or relay available to kill power to the system and turn the light completely off. Most 0-10V controllers offer either a built-in line voltage relay or an external line voltage relay. Depending on the application, these options should be considered.

Arizona Cardinals
Bird Bits: Cardinals drop season finale to 49ers
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a football game. So, we will give you Bird Bits providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Cardinals' 27-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
The Story:
The Arizona Cardinals concluded their dismal 2012 campaign in fitting fashion, as they lost to the San Francisco 49ers 27-13 in a clunker.
Arizona's offense was not abysmal on Sunday, but the unit was also not very efficient. After two first half field goals by Jay Feely, Brian Hoyer and Co. were stifled by the league's fourth-ranked pass defense for most of the afternoon.
Hoyer, making his first career NFL start, finished 19-of-34 for 225 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The problem was most of his positive play came with the game out of reach. Hoyer completed 10 passes for 90 yards in the fourth quarter.
William Powell, arguably the team's most talented running back in a group decimated by injuries, poor protection and inconsistency, rushed for 52 yards but wasn't a focal point of the offense after the Cardinals fell behind by double digits in the second half.
Playing from behind started to take its toll on the Cardinals defense, as well. After giving up just 10 yards of offense in the first quarter, Ray Horton's unit looked susceptible to the big play and Colin Kaepernick and Co. took note. San Francisco accumulated 397 yards over the final three quarters en route to an easy victory and a second straight NFC West title.
The Good:
Brian Hoyer didn't light up the scoreboard Sunday afternoon, but outside of a late interception, he also didn't commit costly turnovers like his predecessors John Skelton and Ryan Lindley.
Hoyer might not have made the case to be the team's leading option at starting quarterback heading into 2013, but the veteran looks to have the tools to be a quality backup.
He also threw the team's first passing touchdown since Week 9.
Michael Floyd saved his best for last in his rookie season. The No. 13 overall pick had eight catches for 166 yards and a touchdown Sunday.
Arizona gave up several big plays through the air but managed to keep Frank Gore in check. San Francisco's leading rusher had only 68 yards on 20 carries.
The Bad:
Larry Fitzgerald was a non-factor on Sunday, a theme which has been constant over the team's final 11 games. The six-time Pro Bowler had two catches for 13 yards and was targeted just five times.
Patrick Peterson may have made great strides as a cornerback this season, but the two-time Pro Bowler has a long way to go when it comes to defending San Francisco's Michael Crabtree. In their Week 8 showdown, Crabtree had five catches for 72 yards and two touchdowns. Sunday he had even more fun toying with Peterson. The former Texas Tech star recorded eight catches for 172 yards and two scores.
He Said It:
"It's hard because you want to gain consistency with one guy, but we just have to stay together. And that's what we did. Fitz and the older players always say that when the ball comes to you, you have to make a play. Because if you don't, you never know when the ball will come back to you." - Wide receiver Michael Floyd on quarterback situation
� Dave Zastudil has been one of the few bright spots in 2012. Sunday, he added to his league-record with two more punts inside the 20-yard line, including a 70-yard bomb in the first quarter.
� If Sunday was Beanie Wells' final audition for the other 31 teams in the NFL, it didn't exactly go according to plan. Ken Whisenhunt pulled the curtain on the running back's final act of 2012. Wells didn't play at all in Arizona's loss.
� The last time Arizona lost 11 games in a season was 2010, meaning Ken Whisenhunt has had two 11-loss campaigns in six seasons.
Coming Up Next:
The Cardinals will have to wait until 2013 to rectify their underwhelming 11-loss season. Until then, expect plenty of notable personnel moves to take place in the offseason.

Menō (メノウ, Menō) was a member of the Shirogane clan, who appeared in Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2.
Not much is known about Menō's past. But it can be presumed that, as a member of the Shirogane clan, as well as one of the Shirogane Three, she grew up under Ibushi's care.
Menō appeared to have a bitter side to her in her views with humanity, preferring puppets over humans.
Menō had blond hair tied up into a bun behind her head. As with the rest of the Shirogane Three, she wore a purple onmyoji–like outfit that has the Shirogane clan symbol at the front and covering her thighs.
Menō was a skilled puppeteer shinobi who was also very proficient in the Transformation Technique, as seen when she assumed Sakura's form during her battle against Naruto, Gaara, and Kankurō. She was able to, not only, mimick someone's outward appearance, but also their weapons, abilities, and fighting style.
Plot Overview
She trapped Naruto, Sakura, and Lee when they visited a bandit hideout, but they managed to escape. She later tried to take the blue spirit orb in Kigan Hill. When Kankurō, Naruto and Lee tried to stop her, they found she was protected by a barrier. After breaking the barrier, she summoned a hornet drone, and escaped. She appeared again later while assuming the identity of Sakura. After her defeat, she returned back to her normal form, and summoned three insect drones. Naruto, Kankurō and Gaara defeated the drones, but one of the drones took the spirit orb and escaped. Menō attempted to kill them along with her, but they escaped and Menō dies in the explosion.

Gama-chan is Naruto Uzumaki's toad shaped wallet. Gama-chan's presence and brief appearances in the series are used for comic relief. Naruto cares for "Gama-chan" and refers to it as if it were a pet, saying that it's happy when it's fat and full of money. He gets disappointed and indignant whenever Jiraiya's jaunts out for "research" would end up with Naruto broke, and Gama-chan emaciated.
When Tsunade made a bet with Naruto on whether he could master the Rasengan in a week, she took a money-filled Gama-chan as his part of the wager.
- During the Three-Tails Arc, when Naruto asks Konohamaru to buy snacks for Gamatatsu and Gamakichi, Gama-chan's eyes lack the white border around them.
- On the underside of Gama-chan, a white strip can be seen. The strip roughly says Naruto's Wallet (なるとさいふ, Naruto Saifu).
- It might be based on the Chan Chu, the Lucky Money Toad, a Chinese symbol of prosperity depicted as a frog sitting on top of a pile of coins with a coin in its mouth.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Former Virginia first lady Maureen McDonnell was sentenced Friday to one year and 1 day in prison for her role in a bribery scheme that destroyed her husband's political career.
U.S. District Judge James Spencer sentenced McDonnell on eight public corruption counts. The couple had been found guilty of doing favors for a nutritional supplements executive in exchange for $165,000 in gifts and loans. Prosecutors had asked for an 18-month sentence for the former first lady. Defense attorneys requested probation and 4,000 hours of community service.
Fighting back tears, McDonnell apologized to her family and Virginians and said she takes full responsibility.
"I would ask in your sentence today that you consider the punishment I've already received," she said. "My marriage is broken, my family is hurting and my reputation is in shatters."
But the judge called the case "puzzling and bizarre," saying there appeared to be two Maureen McDonnells — the loving mother and devoted wife and the first lady "who belittled and terrorized employees" at the Executive Mansion.
"How can a person become so bedazzled by material possessions that she can no longer see the difference between what's appropriate and inappropriate," Spencer said.
McDonnell said can remain free on bond while she appeals the convictions, the judge said.
Her husband, former Gov. Bob McDonnell, convicted of 11 counts, was sentenced to two years in prison last month. He is free on bond while he appeals the convictions to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which will hear arguments May 12.
A jury in September found the McDonnells guilty of taking more than $165,000 in gifts and loans from Star Scientific Inc. CEO Jonnie Williams in exchange for promoting his company's nutritional supplements — primarily the tobacco-derived anti-inflammatory Anatabloc. Among the gifts were about $20,000 in designer accessories and clothing for Maureen McDonnell and a $6,500 Rolex watch she gave her husband for Christmas.
Bob McDonnell, who was widely considered a possible Mitt Romney running mate before the scandal broke, testified during the six-week trial. His wife did not.
Maureen McDonnell is likely the first modern-day spouse of a governor convicted on felony charges arising from her occupancy in an executive mansion, according to scholars and research conducted by The Associated Press. First spouses of the states have had lesser brushes with the law, such as a former West Virginia first lady who was acquitted more than a century ago on charges of forging her first husband's signature, but none has confronted the prospect of a prison term for a felony conviction.
Lewis L. Gould, a University of Texas professor emeritus who wrote a research paper in the 1980s on the spouses of governors, said state first ladies borrow heavily from the public service example of the spouses of presidents. But they generally have little guidance on the demands of the largely ceremonial job, he said.
Maureen McDonnell's lawyers said in court papers that she was never comfortable in the role of first lady, and she cracked under the pressure and the fear of letting her husband down.
Gould said he envisions discussions among the first ladies in years to come along the lines of, "You have to watch out. Look what happened to one of us in Virginia."
Supporters testified Friday that Maureen McDonnell is a thoughtful woman devoted to her family, but she was overwhelmed by her role as first lady.
Friend Lisa Kratz Thomas said Maureen has barely left her house since she was convicted last September and has little social interaction outside of a Bible study.
"She's lost her dignity," Thomas said. "She's really become a prisoner in her own home."
Daughter Rachel McDonnell said the scandal surrounding her parents has driven her family apart and that her mother feels "very alone."
Several character witnesses asked that Maureen McDonnell be spared prison time.
The third of nine children of an FBI agent, Maureen McDonnell became a Washington Redskins cheerleader in the early 1970s. She met her husband-to-be in 1973, when he was attending Notre Dame on an ROTC scholarship, and they were married in 1976.
Her lawyers say in court papers that she dedicated her adult life to raising the couple's five children and supporting her husband's political career. She worked off and on in a variety of jobs, including selling nutritional supplements from home.
The trial exposed details of the McDonnells' strained marriage as defense attorneys tried to show that the couple could not have conspired to extract bribes from Williams because they were barely communicating. Several witnesses testified about Maureen McDonnell's erratic behavior and angry outbursts, which nearly prompted a mass walkout by the Executive Mansion staff. Bob McDonnell testified that he began working later than necessary to avoid his wife's wrath.
Maureen McDonnell's attorney, William Burck, told jurors that his client developed a "crush" on Williams as her time with her increasingly busy husband dwindled. Some witnesses described the former first lady's relationship with Williams as inappropriate, but nobody suggested it was physical.
Williams, who testified under immunity for the prosecution, denied any romantic connection and said he only gave the McDonnells loans and luxury goods to get their help as he sought state-backed research of Anatabloc.
On Friday, Maureen McDonnell alluded to the judge's statement at her husband's sentencing that she had "let the serpent," Williams, into the Executive Mansion.
"The venom from that snake has poisoned my marriage, has poisoned my family, has poisoned the commonwealth that I love," she said.
"I opened the door and I blame no one but myself."
Associated Press writer Steve Szkotak and news researcher Rhonda Shafner in New York contributed to this report.
