Coke is the best-tasting cola out there. Pepsi may be cloyingly sweet and win in sip taste tests, but its overly sweet, citrus taste is too much for a whole bottle/can.
The best-tasting Coke is made with sugar cane, not corn syrup. It used to be made this way in the US, but since the 1970s corn syrup has taken its place. Corn is a heavily subsidized crop and therefore cheap. So it's really no surprise that it's in nearly every processed food in this country. However, there is no corn subsidy in Mexico. They make their Coke the old-fashioned way: with cane sugar.
I bought my Mexican Coke at BevMo. Costco has been known to carry it too. Another option is Coke that is Kosher for Passover. But it's only available around Passover, so you'd have to stock up. (NPR even did a story on this.) Or you can look for a local Mexican grocery or convenience store. But if you just can't find it locally, there's always mail order.
