U.S. citizens do not need a passport to enter Mexico by land or sea and they do not need one to return home. Mexican citizens need a "WHTI-compliant document" to enter the U.S. and they may enter Mexico with nothing.
The Mexican officials at the border do not ask for any identification from anyone. On your return home, the U.S. officials would like you to carry a current passport but they can't obligate U.S. citizens to do so. Every day hundreds of people cross from Tijuana to San Diego with only a driver's license.
The passport question is controversial and confusing. Because of that, a group of people at the San Diego-Tijuana border put together a FAQ on the subject, see related links.
