No.

Technically speaking Mexico is geographically located in North America.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In most English speaking countries, Central America is considered a region of the North American continent; Geopolitically, this is made up of 7 countries:

Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.

Mexico, in whole or in part, is sometimes included. More specifically Geographers include the southernmost region of the country: these five states of Campeche, Chiapas, Tabasco, Quintana Roo, and Yucatán (which make up about 12% in area)

BUT: In Latin America, Iberia, and some other parts of Europe, the Americas are considered to be a single continent, none of this central, north, south business....Therefore, Mexico, which is considered part of either North or Central America, is included a region of this continent.
No. Central America is the sub-region that connects Mexico and Colombia, encompassing Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Panama.
