Whats the best currency to use in mexico peso's or us dollars?

Answer 1

if you are travelling from the UK, take Sterling and you will get a much better exchange rate in the Airport, Airside, meaning before you have gone out the doors

Answer 2

Usually they accept US dollars in all places accept the shops and stuff on the street. But its always good to be safe so if your going to Mexico you can exchange your money at your hotel.

Answer 3

Pesos, it makes you appear less ignorant.

Answer 4

I woud exchange the your U.S. dollars to pesos because you can never be sure if you are getting your correct change back or not. When I fly there I tend to exchange my money if I'm staying there. Ohhh and be sure to have some left over U.S. dollars because you never know if it will come in to use while there.. Good Luck! :-)

Answer 5

I would exchange some of your money for pesos, but not all, every time I have visited there, I have found one or two shoppes that only accept the peso, but the majority will accept the dollar, especially around the border towns.  Deeper in Mexico you go, the more they want the peso.

Pesos of course! Many, maybe most, businesses will accept dollars and they want you dollars, but they will give a an exchange rate less advantageous than the official rate. If you are visiting here as a tourist exchange your dollars for pesos. Have a nice time!
