Landed me at Currency Exchange International located in the Mission Valley mall right next to Gamestop. Location is open til 9pm. Location was convenient but be aware that as of 4/24/26 there is construction around the area so everything around was boarded up. The lady was super helpful and nice. Answered all my questions. NO FEES for exchanges. Meaning if you want to exchange $100 to whatever, you pay just that. No fee anymore which is great. She said they changed this about 2 years ago. This is only for locations in CA and a couple of other states. Great to have another option other than a bank and/or airport kiosks. Will be coming back if I want to exchange anything less than $100. Great experience!

Some staff at this location are impolite and not as friendly as other currency places I've been to. Dislikes: this place rarely gives out small bills and no longer offers 20s.

Despite what you may think, the exchanges in San Ysidro give a better exchange rate than the ones in Tijuana, the airports, or in LA. This particular exchange has served me well, considering the fact that they are open 24/7. As I had quite a bit of pesos and euros laying around, I decided to come here the other day to exchange these for dollars. FYI: they exchange pesos to dollars and vice-versa any time of day or night, but they only exchange euros during the day. The staff here is always friendly, and the exchange is quick and seamless. They have a sizable parking lot, and I've never had any bad experiences in this area, even though I'm usually just passing through San Ysidro. This is a currency exchange place I recommend you use before you head to Mexico, of once you're coming back from there.

I am disabled and needed to sit down because I could not stand in line. There was no place to sit other than sitting on a desk. The security guard told me that I was not allowed to sit there. I explained to him that I was dizzy and I could not stand any longer. He placed his hand on his pepper spray and it appeared to me that he was threatening me After I exchange about $400 into pesos I returned to the desk to sit down to arrange my money in my wallet. Both security guards came up to me and told me that I had to leave and that I was finished. I don't know if this was an overt act of racism but it certainly was not professional. And other gentleman in line who is 82 years old told me he has had the same problems with the security officers. I told him that Americans with disability act gave me the right to sit down because I was disabled. He told me there was no such law.

We'll be back if we use the same parking lot.

WARNING - Deceptive currency exchange I had a very bad…read moreexperience at Monex Currency Exchange in San Ysidro. The sign outside advertised an exchange rate of 17.89 pesos per dollar. I asked the cashier to confirm the rate and she said yes. I gave her $1,000 USD. She then told me she would only exchange $950 so she would not have to register my information. That already felt suspicious. After the transaction she gave me only about 14,705 pesos for $950 USD. That is far below the advertised rate. Only after I questioned the amount did she say there was a commission of 13 cents per dollar. This was never disclosed beforehand and the sign mentioning it is extremely small. When I asked to cancel the transaction and return my money she refused and locked herself inside the office. The police came but said it was a civil matter. Be very careful with this place. The advertised rate is misleading and you will receive much less than expected.
