John F250 Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Hi all, I will be driving to Guadalajara via Laredo in a few days. While I have some pesos (5,000 MX), I decided to buy some more. My bank here in Chicagoland quoted me a rate of 16.75 pesos to the $, which I considered larcenous. Can I get a better exchange rate in Laredo Texas and where is the best place to buy pesos, or is there an easily transited bank in Nuevo Laredo. I really don't want to wander to far off the carretera. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy2013 Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 I would stop at an atm in Nuevo Laredo and use your debit card. The exchange rate would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 In Laredo you will see various exchange houses on the streets fronting the freeway . Their rates are posted outside. You could search for an ATM in Nuevo Laredo and get a little better rate, however many people do not want to stop in NL for security reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 After crossing into N. Laredo one bypasses downtown by driving on Blvd Luis Donaldo. There are little or no banks/ATMs on that route. However when that Blvd intersects with 85.... your highway going south to Monterrey.... there are a couple of banks w/ATMs. Banorte and Bancomer. I would use one of them. Google "atm nuevo laredo" and you will see a map of this route and the banks that I mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
