Hi James!
I'm not an expert in electric installations, but it's true that there
are both 2-pronged and 3-pronged sockets. Both of them are common and
safety regulations recommend the latter for obvious reasons, but you can
fit a type A into a type B socket without troubles. In any case, find an
adapter for type B sockets and if you need to connect to a type A, the
extra adapter is available in any small electronics shop and is very cheap
(around 10 MXN or less than 1 USD)

I've seen a couple different sites talking
about just the A socket
(same as a US 2 prong) and some saying the B socket as well (US 3 prong,
the 2 prong with a round grounding pole). Is the 3 prong relatively common
as well or should we carry around 2 prong to 3 prong adapters if we have
things that need it?
