As long as your card will debit in US dollars , no problem with acceptance , BUT you can get taken ROYALLY on their exchange rate.

I would use an ATM to get US cash and ask for cash discount .

At many smaller places , they will "forget" the local sales tax (6% is common) for cash.

IF you can get a US dollar credit card , request the cash discount , and if they refuse , pay with the plastic.

AMAZING how many will suddenly prefer discounted cash!.
