Yes. Both the Mexican Army and Navy have special forces groups. In fact, they train with their American counterparts: the US Army Special Forces and Navy SEALs.

US Army Special Forces. They are divided into Groups - 1st Group, 5th Group, 10th Group, etc.
Most of these groups are allowed to use whatever they want.
They could be assigned to Special Forces, but only as support personnel, and not as an actual operator. Non SF-qualified personnel in Special Forces Groups can be identified by the absence of the Special Forces tab above their unit patch, and their wear of the maroon beret, rather than the green beret.
In order to become a Special Forces officer you must be a 1st Lieutenant promotable or a Captain already. Once you have attained either rank, you must volunteer for Special Forces training. The training starts with Phase I SFAS (Special Forces Assessment and Selection) this phase is considered the thoughest one of many. If you get selected, you will continue on to the SFQC (Special Forces Qualification Course) and if you meet the standards for every phase ( a total of 5 phases) you will graduate as a Special Forces Captain and will be assigned to one of the 7 Special Forces Groups where you will have a chance to be the team leader for a SFODA (Special Forces Operational Detachment Alpha)
Only the ones serving as actual operators in one of the Special Forces Groups.
As actual operators? None. The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment is open to females, but Special Forces groups, Ranger Battalions, SEAL teams, etc. are not. The unit may have female personnel assigned to in, but in non-operational roles - for instance, you may see females assigned to Special Forces, but they'll wear the maroon beret, rather than green, and won't wear the Special Forces tab above their patch, because they're not actually SF operators.
Einsatzgruppen translates to "task forces" or "deployment groups" in English. These were special paramilitary units in Nazi Germany responsible for carrying out mass killings of Jews, Gypsies, and other targets during World War II.
There is no real answer to the asked question. I have two reasons for saying this: Firstly, because there is no quantative way to measure how "good" a special forces group is, it is impossible to measure these groups against each other. As such, any opinion as to who is the best will be a subjective opinion. Secondly, "special" forces are groups of soldiers within a regular defence force that specialize in certain tasks. Not all special forces specialize in the same tasks. That is why you may have multiple special forces groups within the same defence force. Similarly special forces groups from different countries specialize in different tasks. These might range from irregular maritime warfare, to urban anti-terrorism, to strategic recconnaisance. There are however certain groups in the world that are well known and have a high regard for certain specialities. For example, the British SAS mentioned above has had great success and publicity in urban anti-terrorism operations and general combat. Many non-British military officials say the SAS is the best in the world. The Russian Spetsnaz does more cold-weather training than any other groups. The US Navy Seals have gotten a lot of exposure by Hollywood as the one of the best maritime warfare group in the world, alongside some otehr groups liek the Royal Marines. At the end of the day, all of these stay opinions and are still subjective.
