You get a better exchange rate at the Casas de Cambio on san Ysidro BLVD.

Once you exit the 5 or 805 proceed to San Ysidro Blvd. Head South and they all are in competion with one another. The best day of the week is Tuesday or Wednesday. Dont ask me why but the Dollar always seems to be strongest on those days. All Casas proudly display thier exchange rates outside on signs.
Buena Suerte-

Pretty inconvenient standing in their long lines at the Costco cambio - aside from the restrictive hours. We switched.

Baja-Mex cambio on San Ysidro Blvd is open 24 hours, slightly better rate, closer to the freeway & no lines. You can buy a taco or hotdog next door.

castaway$ we need to do the math

2000dollars/11.8=23,600 pesos

2000dollars/12.0=24,000 pesos

differance= 400 pesos

thats $33 bucks just for chosing the "right" place
