Default Traveling to Mexico, Mexican Peso's or U.S. currency?

When traveling to Mexico, should you carry Mexican Peso's or U.S. currency?

I would get pesos. Just because not all places take dollars. Well depends on where you are going. Most tourist places like Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco take dollars. But if you are visiting smaller cities then they are not going to have change for you. Easier if you pay with pesos.

i would get pesos because if you carry US money around most places wont accept american money and in order to exchange money you would have to go to a local bank or places who change the money for you. BEWARE because when most tourist are there on sundays when you do your shopping those exchange places may be closed!! have fun!

Pesos because if the vendors or salespeople know you have american money (atleast at tourist spots) they will let you pay american money and charge and higher the price.

You can get U.S. currency when you go through the airport, and then exchange it for pesos when you get to the little kiosk in Mexico. I'm pretty sure you can also spend money in Mexico even if you have all your money in USD in a US bank.

About $1 us to 10 pesos, try not to pay with dollars since they will take it $1 us to 9 pesos, use ur debit card and u will get a great exchange rate.
