I'm going to be arriving initially in the US for a few days, so prefer to get something there, ideally mailed to hotel, but can go to a store to get it.

Any suggestions on which card/plan to go with?

ATT GoPhone $45 plan is what you want, but requires at least 50% usage in the USA. If you will be in Mexico most of the time, then you need a Mexico SIM that has data roaming in the USA.
