No. There are many kinds of hats Mexicans wear, but the stereotypical Mexican sombrero is not one of them.
The charro or mariachi-style Mexican sombrero became famous during the 1910-1921 Mexican Revolution, when many people from rural communities were photographed wearing them; famous revolutionary generals Francisco 'Pancho' Villa and Emiliano Zapata were fond on wearing such kind of hats. Almost a century later, the sombrero is as fashionable to Mexicans as the top hat - worn by president Abraham Lincoln - or boater hat- worn by traditional barbershop quartets - are to Americans.
Present-day Mexicans use other types of protection from the sun, such as caps and cowboy hats. Only mariachis and charros use sombreros, mostly for presentation or festivity purposes. On the other hand, sombreros are one of the many handcrafts Mexican vendors offer to American, Canadian and European tourists and are sold at good prices - at least for a couple of American dollars.
