Getting cash from ATM at MEX airport

Getting cash from ATM at MEX airport - Person Deposits Money on an ATM

I'm heading to Mexico from the USA soon and I'm wondering about getting cash (pesos) when I arrive at MEX.

From a map of the terminal I've seen (terminal 1), it does seem like there are several ATMs.

This leads to my two part question:

  1. Is it pretty much guaranteed that I will be able to get cash from an ATM in the terminal? I'll be arriving midday on a Friday and I'll be using my bank's debit card. I know my card will work in general. I'm asking more about general availability of working ATMs with available cash. This will save me the need to get pesos in the USA before my trip (which a much worse exchange rate).
  2. Is there any worry about a given ATM being fake? I've seen advice about only using ATMs that are part of a bank. Any appropriate advice for ATMs at MEX airport?

The ATMs in T1 are dispersed throughout the main hallway in the airport. I wouldn't classify this as either the Arrivals or Departures area..... it is just the main building part of Terminal 1.
