Canadian Rainbirds are correct. ATM is the only way to go. We don't enter at Nogales, but I have seen reference to an ATM before the first toll booth. There is also an easy one in Hermosillo.

Check with your bank for possible deals at banks they deal with. Even if they don't, the legal maximum ATM fee in Mexico is about $3 US.
We only found one Pemex last winter that did not take credit cards! Do make sure you aren't paying foreign fees if you use one, though.
