Yes; it has a homicide rate of 18 per 100,000 population. For comparison purposes, the United States has a homicide rate of 5 per 100,000 population.
It should be noted however, that regional homicide rate wildly varies among states, as Mexico's northern states take the brunt of the Mexican War on Drugs. Therefore, you can find very dangerous areas such as Juarez with a murder rate of 229 people per 100,000 inhabitants, putting it as the second most dangerous city in the world. On the other hand, you can find states such as Baja California Sur, Yucatan and Hidalgo, with murder rates lower than 5 per 100,000 inhabitants.
The state of Yucatan, home of the Chichen Itza ruins, has a murder rate of 1.72 per 100,000 inhabitants. This makes it much safer than say, Canada (2.1 murders per 100,000).
