US dollar still gives you the best proportionate exchange rate.

I use my UK ATM card here for the last 3 months, and i get average 60.00-61.00 pesos for 1.00 GBP net ( including the 2.00 GBP service charge).

I'm with you stelen123, keep banging away!

If you are coming from the UK draw cash out from an ATM using a debit card. Direct exchange from sterling to peso with minimal fuss and maximum return. I did the stats after a couple of earlier trips, so I KNOW that that is the best way!
