I'm planning to travel to Mexico soon and I need to exchange some of my US dollars for Mexican pesos. I'm not sure about the best way to do this. Should I go to a bank, a currency exchange office, or use some other method? How can I ensure that I get a good exchange rate?

Simultaneously, the institution will pay the MXN TIIE rate, adjusted by the basis (either plus or minus, depending on its value), for the borrowed MXN.
