Yes, just pay attention to the exchange rate because you don't get American money back for change, they give you pesos. Have a calculator handy for quick reference. |

this is a yes and no answer. it really depends what part of mexico you are going to. if you go to any of the border cities it is really common to pay in american dollars, any of the tourist attractions like Cancun, Acapulco...also take dollars. generally every other state does not take dollars so make sure to change them into pesos |

Yes, but I would get the money changed over unless you're fast with conversions in your head. |

The only place where they acept dollars is in Cancun and In Cozumel, anywhere else you will have to change them for pesos |

Around Tijuana and Northern Baja California, then yes, I would use USD all the time.
Away from that area then yes, they are often accepted, but the exchange rate is rarely that favourable. Assuming you are visiting the country in its own right, I would just get Mexican Pesos direct from an ATM on arrival and use those instead. |

yes u can. most of the real tourist places allow u to use dollars. check to see the exchange rate to avoid getting ripped off. |

If it is a place like a hotel or a retail store that has a known name like Wal-Mart or Costco you can use dollars, nevertheless if you are in some of the stores that you can find in the corners or in street stands i would recommend to use pesos because sometimes these people are really ignorant and dont even know what a dollar is. |

If you want 10 pesos to the dollar - spend dollars
If you want almost 11 pesos to the dollar - spend pesos |

ohh yes u definately can. I would try to change it if possible if not dont worry. Just be careful because some places will charge an extra 50 cents or a dollar when they take your american $$ in comparison to mexican $$. |

It is the only currancy you can take into Mexico as the Mexican peso is a closed currancy. The going rate is ten pesos to the us dollar. they will give you change in pesos which you may leave behind as you cannot cash it in anywhere else. Enjoy your trip. |

Yes, some places, but you have to be careful because if you dont know mexican money,they will make you pay more. You can also go to a "Casa de Cambio" where they can change dollars into mexican money. |

Yes, you can, but I believe if you convert the money you will save more.. the American dollar is worth more.. If it is a long trip..bring American Travellers Checks for vacation. |
