At Mexicoach ATM. US bank fee doesn't quite make it worth it. If you're changing at least 50 bucks, the likely best place to change money is at a bank branch (if during bidness hours) where they will get you as close to the true exchange rate as possible. Please keep in mind that the difference in using pesos acquired at an exchange rate of 9.5x1 gets you vs. paying for stuff in dollars and getting 'ripped off' at the 9x1 rate is really PEANUTS. If you're making MAJOR purchases it MAY be worth your while. And when you factor in the chance that you may get burned selling pesos BACK at some point, saving a quarter a beer doesn't seem all that big a deal, does it?
