Not necessarily. You are definitely a Mexican-American, but the race you belong to depends on the race of both parents, not on their nationality.

For instance, if your American parent is African-American, and your Mexican parent is white (yes, there are white people in Mexico, some 10 million) you are a Mexican-American mulatto. "Hispanic" is the common term used for any non-white people of Latin American origin. Some examples of "Hispanics" are Edward James Olmos (Mexican), Christina Aguilera (Peru) or Jennifer Lopez (Puerto Rico).

If your father is half Hispanic and your mom is Caucasian are you considered Hispanic?

You are considered Hispanic if either of your parents had any Hispanic ancestry and you choose to describe yourself as Hispanic. Someone with one Mexican parent would be "half-Mexican," and that person's children would certainly have one parent with some Hispanic ancestry. The rest is up to you.
