What currency should you take to Mexico if coming from Canada?

When travelling from Canada to Mexico, it is recommended to bring US dollars as they are widely accepted throughout the country. While the local currency of Mexico is the Mexican peso (MXN), US dollars are commonly accepted in most tourist areas, hotels, restaurants, and shops. Exchanging Canadian dollars to Mexican pesos can involve additional transaction fees and less favourable exchange rates. Carrying US dollars allows for greater convenience and flexibility during your trip to Mexico.
