For smaller amounts ($100 or less) I go to Super Ley, buy a few things using a $50 or $100 bill and get change in Pesos.
The rate is always close to the buying peso rate you see in the bank windows. Two weeks ago I got 18.4-1.
For larger amounts I go to an ATM (usually Banorte on Freemont) I use my Capitol One debit card (no fee)
and the ATM transaction fee is reimbursed back to me along with a great exchange rate.
I also use my Capitol One CC to buy things without a transaction fee and a good exchange rate.
I usually stay away from the exchange houses because I can do better with out a lot of effort.

There is a cambio on Benito Juarez across from the Bodega and Sam's That is pretty consistently the best rate for a cambio.

Sounds good, I might just buy my beer at super ley and get change there.

Thanks for the info on the cambio. Too bad I don't have a sams club card! I stay loyal to Costco!
I don't believe Sam's has an ATM although the (Walmart) next door has two, which is where I use the ATM.Thanks for the info on the cambio. Too bad I don't have a sams club card! I stay loyal to Costco!

We do not have a Sam's card either (Only Costco in AZ) but when we go in Rocky Point you can get a 1 day pass (no charge, just ask) if you really want to go.Thanks for the info on the cambio. Too bad I don't have a sams club card! I stay loyal to Costco!

Great info!
The ATMs in walmart is there a fee to use them? Or does it depend on bank? I have Chase, just wondering if those ATMS have fees or not?

Very cool! Didn't know they do that! I wonder if the Sams in Tucson does that???
Capital One has no foreign transaction fee and I believe the Atm flat fee was about $1.50. I'll check next time and post an update.
All Sam's Clubs do that.
The flat fee yesterday was 30 pesos.

Awesome thanks for letting me know! Looking forward to being in RP tomorrow morning! First stop..... Tacos Brissa!
The water temp has been perfect and there has been a nice breeze this week which helps with the July ambient temp and humidity. I'll be heading back up tomorrow after a week with the beach quite literally to myself, a bit toasty but enjoyable. Good news is that there hasn't been any agua malas floating in so far.
Have fun.
Have fun.
What are agua malas?

Jelly fish,
Back to the Peso thread, today it is 18.4 to one and Super Ley is so easy to shop at
and get pesos at a good rate.
