Aztecs called themselves Mexicas. So yea "Aztecs" are Mexicans.

Within the Mexica empire there were many groups Zapotec, Mixtec, Maya, Purchepeche, etc

all of them could also be considered Mexican too

In this modern age, any one a citizen of Mexico or descended could be considered Mexican. As any person who is a citizen of Japan is Japanese.

Are the Aztecs Mexican?

No. Aztec people were a civilization that lived in present-day central Mexico, and were conquered by Spanish conquistadores on August 13, 1521. Modern Mexicans are half Amerindians (including Aztecs) and half Spanish, so they would be the descendants of ancient Aztecs but it would be the other way around: Mexicans are Aztecs.
