Bank Machine entering Tecate
We plan to enter Baja via Tecate. Anyone know a good place to get pesos as we cross into Baja?
Thanks,

Two blocks south of the entrance, on the same road, is a Bancomer across from the city park. They have well lit ATM machines that are open 24/7. We
usually stop there and take out some pesos with our ATM card.

There is a casa de cambio on the US side just by the mini-mall to your left (east) side of road 50 yards north of border.....or a few blocks south at
a bank once you are in Tecate....
Don't believe everything you think....

If you are headed south on highway 3 towards Ensenada, there is an ATM in the Calimax

If I remember correctly, that shouldn't be a problem....when you see the CALI-MAX, veer to the right, if you go straight on HWY 3, I don't think there
is a spot.

Just did this on Sunday, easy to manuver a trailer in and out, rate was 12.5. pemex guys show you meter is at zero before they start pumping. ( in
fact that has happened at every p[emex, except one. )
