Should I Get Pesos Before I Go to Mexico?
Getting a small amount of pesos before you leave can make your first day in Mexico smoother, especially for tips, taxis, and cash-only vendors. For most travelers, the best plan is to bring only what you need for arrival and rely on fee-free cards and bank ATMs for the rest. Your decision should depend on where you are going, how cash-dependent the area is, and what your bank charges for currency exchange or foreign transactions.
