would like to know now what better to use pesos or dollars

You can use either, though it seems to me
they are happier with American cash.

Beautiful place, quite some night life :-)

Agreed. Great fishing too!

Love Love Cabo... Fishing is wonderful... night life is well fun


I have used both down there I usually take some peso's so that I can give it when needed. and american where I want to tip larger...

I've been fishing there a few times. Best thing to bring is a few pre-loaded gift-type Visa cards that aren't linked to any account, and US dollars for tips. Pre-pay for everything you can on this end, rooms, boats, etc.

thank you

When was the last time you were there this is my first time going

Last time fishing Cabo was 18 months ago, but I fish other parts of Mexico frequently and always carry pre-paid Visas. They work just like cash and if they get snagged you're only out the amount on the card and can likely file a claim to get it back. I usually carry a few with $200 to $500 on each. If you happen to go to a bar, go ahead and stand in line and give the BARTENDER your card for the tab, not the waitress. Just tell the girl you have a tab at the bar when you order fresh drinks. Tip her a small amount every drink vs. waiting until you're ready to tab out. You'll get much better service and will end up spending about the same anyway.

edited to add: Bartenders are employees, waitresses are generally free-lance. If you give the girl your card, she might be out the back door with it and you'll never know you were robbed until the tab's due a few hours/days later.

Both come in handy.

Some variables include, what you're buying, and/or where you're buying it at.
