Very happy with them.
This was in 2017 for my Baja Bound research trips.


Dude, that was like 7 years ago. Things have changed.
Even the bills have changed, mexico has mostly new bill designs in past few years.




Woke!

What towntaco said, Casa de Cambio Dolar gave me a good rate when I last used them and it was easy to get from there to the East POE crossing. If you open a Charles Schwab checking account with a debit card, they pick up the ATM fees. Saved new bunch this trip down as I’m having to withdraw a lot of cash to pay for the project in Bahía Asunción.

Given all the cambios are within a cent on the dollar in exchange, I'm going to keep using Casa de Cambio Dolar since it's got the easiest access to East POE. They also had no problem exchanging over $1400 USD without a rate hit.
