ATMs are as plentiful as coconuts in a palm tree, but when it comes to your pesos, stick to the ATMs inside banks — they’re the safe harbors in this sea of choices. Storefront ATMs? Not so much. Keep your card from going on an unplanned adventure: look for ATMs that favor a gentle swipe over a hungry gulp.
