I was approached by 2 guys to change dollars on the street today. But I wanted to buy dollars instead. They quoted me a lower price just to get me to change money. But when I was actually handed the money I found the exchange rate to be much highter than what was being sold for in a casa de cambio. Ex: they were selling the dollar to me for 21 pesos / dollar, while I can get a dollar for 20.30 pesos easily anywhere where the service is safe and without pressure. I simply walked away from them and went inside a casa de cambio. I saved 700 pesos (bought 1k dollars)and left assured that the bills were real (as opposed to fake).
These street guys are fast talkers and put alot of pressure on you. They don't give you time to think and want the transaction done quickly so you will be left all confused in the end.
So take my advice and go to a casa de cambio where you will be treated with respect and without pressure talk.
