Best TJ/SD Exchange Rate Location


What is your opinion of the best location around the TJ border to receive this most favorable dollar to peso exchange rate? If it makes a difference, talking about 5K to peso exchange as an example.

As a norm in San Ysidro, money exchange is best east of the 805 and very bad west of the 805.
In Tijuana the best rates can be found at corner of Ocampo and 9th or Ocampo and 11th. Now with ammounts like that you always want to negotiate the exchange rate and you would notbe changing outside, they would escort you inside or to theback to make the exchange and either if you do it in Tijuana or San Ysidro, you will have to fill out a form for exchanging those ammounts of cash.
Your best, best option is to exchange with someone private that needs to buy dollars and that way get the very best rate, I know of someone that needs to pay over 3,000 dollars rent per month and needs to buy dollars. U2U me and I'll help you.
