Local Currency
US dollars are accepted almost everywhere and you will get your change back in pesos. The exchange rate will vary day to day, but most places have a fixed rate posted. You can exchange currency at the airport, but an easy way to get pesos is to simply withdraw from an ATM at any local bank.
Banks and ATMs
Local banks include BBVA (Bancomer) and Banco Azteca. Bank ATMs give the daily exchange rate (best possible rate). When using an ATM remember to pay close attention to what currency you're withdrawing and try to get as much cash as possible to avoid higher ATM fees.
Cash vs. Cards
Visa and MasterCard are generally accepted, but it's likely you will run into cash-only establishments. Be sure to always ask beforehand and carry a bit of cash just in case. Keep in mind most businesses accept US dollars and your bank may charge international fees when you swipe.
