Short answer

OptionalCash preferred

Rough Guides is clear that taxis do not require a tip and rounding up is appreciated. Drivers frequently lack change, so rounding up is often the practical outcome anyway. Cabify and Uber both handle tips in the app.

Cash or card?

Cards are widely accepted in cities, but a tip usually cannot be added to the card payment. Keep cash for the propina even when you pay the bill by card.
