    Every one will have there own opinions,, Cash machine s in Mexico have a bad rep for user fees.


    Even if you have a no-fee interact card ,, those contracts don't transfer to Mexico sometimes.

    There is no point in changing your pounds to US$ to tip only to have your server have to go and change US$ to peso's. I can understand Americans using US$ because they don't have to change them. But Canadians, English, or anyone else should go straight to pesos.

    Use a bank ATM and. Or other ATM machines. You get the best rate even if they charge you a fee. All others are just a rip off and take advantage of you.
