Mexico is within North America, if you use the seven-continent definition (North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia/Oceania, Antarctica). This is demonstrated by the fact that Mexico is located within the North American tectonic plate.
Mexico is however, associated with Central and even South America due to economic and cultural reasons, but this is incorrect, as Mexico's location depends upon geographical/geophysical considerations, not cultural. If you say that Mexico belongs to Central America just because it is near the bottom of North America, or that it shares traits with Guatemala or Panama, you could argue that Greenland is part of Europe just because it is only a few hundred miles from Iceland (which is firmly European) or they are protectorate of Denmark. This is also heavily rooted in discrimination and xenophobia, as many question 'how come a third world country can be grouped together with highly-developed Canada and America?'
Now, on cultural terms, Mexico is part of Latin America as much as Canada and the United States are part of Angloamerica.
there are two possible points of view to answer this question
Geographically:
From the northern border to the tehuantepec isthmus, it corresponds to the north American land mass. This constitutes most of the Mexican territory, from the isthmus downward you could argue it to be part of central America, hence in a generalization, Mexico IS part of North America.
Politically:
Mexico has always been considered part of North America and not central America, hence NAFTA (acronym of North America Free Trade Agreement, which includes Canada, Mexico and the USA)
Conclusion: Mexico IS part of North America

Central America joins North and South America. Central America is made up of these nations: Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.
