This only applies to some touristic áreas like Tulum, not all México. The exchange rate vendors will give you isn't that good. If you want you could change some Pesos buy you will be fine with USD.

stevendom57 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 @carlosalonsor and @Mljstr. Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. I have read on these forums that USD would be accepted in touristy areas like Cozumel and Playa del Carmen, but I was worried about Tulum (spelled correctly this time). I will just bring my dollars, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mljstr Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 I have been to Mexico many times from Acapulco, puerto vallarta, Cozumel, cabo, and never used pesos. If you bring dollars bring small bills. Unfortunately vendors give you change in pesos and might try to take advantage of you. Happened to my daughter last year. tiny260 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that by mexican law no one is obligated to accept USD, they do it because is better for tourism. Because of that is better to know the current exchange rate so there is no chance someone will try to take advantage of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
