BEWARE TOURISTS - THIS IS A DISHONEST BUSINESS.
Similar experience to many other reviews posted about the double standard treatment toward tourists, here is my experience today.
Firstly, she charges me 80 pesos ($4.50) for 2 macarons. That is beyond what macarons would cost in the States, and she didn't even know what flavors they were.
Secondly, and most importantly she shortchanges me when I hand her a $20 USD bill. I know the exchange rate is $1 USD/18 pesos, it's posted in most of the restaurants who aren't trying to scam you and she claims it's different for her store. WHAT THE HELL? So she's not only taken the $4.50 for 2 macarons, but also took extra $3 for herself and refused to return my money, acting bitter at the fact that I would not purchase more, even though I had already explained I will be flying back across the world and don't want to carry perishable items w me the whole way.
I've been to Mexico many times, and this is the first time I've experienced such shameful, dishonest behavior from a business in Tijuana!!! What an awful human being - this was an older lady (in her 60s/70s).
