It really depends on WHY those prices jumped up in the first place. If it happened because the US dollar was devalued against other currencies, it would mean imports from Mexico are more expensive.

For example, a pair of shoes is manufactured in Mexico for 100 pesos and sold at the US for 20 dollars, (currency parity is 1 dollar = 5 pesos).

Now, if the dollar is devalued to say, 1 dollar = 2 pesos, it would mean those shoes would be more expensive, as they are still manufactured with 100 pesos, but with the new parity, they cost 50 dollars in the US.

Why is hidden inflation a problem?

It is a huge problem. Something like this happens when the asking price does not decrease but the quality does. That however is one way of looking at it. Hidden inflation can manifest itself in many ways, another instance is when there is impending inflation rise in a certain asset but temporarily prices are low, shortly accompanied by a sharp rise in prices. The sudden and sharp increase in prices affect the overall balance of the market. Sometimes such imbalances can have far reaching effects.
