there are nearly no similarities other than a shared language...both use rice, and don't mind the occasional spicy combination, but Mexican cuisine loves cilantro and lime...you could nearly call it Mexican or southwest just because you used a lime
Spain - an European power during the Age of Discovery - conquered Mexico in 1521 and kept it as a colony in the Americas for the following 300 years. This meant Mexico acquired many of Spain's cultural traits, such as religion (Catholicism), language (Spanish) and many other traditions (bullfighting, Day of the Dead).
On September 15,1810 priest Miguel Hidalgo and other "insurgents" proclaimed the independence of Mexico from Spain and 11 years later, Mexico became an independent country on its own.
There are many similarities between Hispanic and American cultures. Some of these similarities include that both are very family oriented, both enjoy big family gatherings and holiday celebrations.
Spain, an European power during the Age of Discovery, discovered and conquered Mexico between 1519 and 1521, and kept it as an overseas territory in the Americas for the following 300 years. Due to conquest and the process of evangelization, Mexico acquired many of Spain's cultural traits, such as religion (Roman Catholicism), language (Spanish) and many other traditions such as bullfighting, Christmas and Day of the Dead. During the early hours of September 16, 1810, Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo and other "insurgents" started the revolt that eventually became the Mexican War of Independence against Spain. On September 27 of 1821, Mexico became an independent country on its own, but wasn't recognized by Spain as such until 1836, when Spain renounced to all its continental possessions in the Americas.
If you have to trace differences and commonalities, Spain is to Mexico what England is to the United States: very much alike, but each country has its own traditions and cultural specifics, such as cuisine, humor, festivals or traditional clothing.

Both countries were at some point during their "recent" (1500-1800) history, conquered and/or settled by the Spanish Empire, at the Age of Discovery. This meant both countries have the same cultural roots, including language, religion and common cultural traits originated from Spain.
However, after the independence movement from Spain in the 19th century, both countries started to diverge in several aspects, including language pronunciation, ethnicity and culture. Nowadays, both are as different as say, the United States and Australia or Canada and South Africa (all of them conquered and settled by the British Empire throughout the history).
