Yes; Mexico works with 120V, 1.5A, 50.60 Hz altern current (AC). What may vary, though, is the power socket. Many homes and offices have the American variation (NEMA 5-15 - North American 15 A/125 V grounded) but some (specially old housing) have an old version of such sockets named NEMA 1-15 which have only two blades, and no ground rod.
If you are planning to visit Mexico, you should ask at the front-desk what type of sockets do they have. Otherwise, to be prepared, you could buy a connector at your nearest hardware or electric store.

∙ 10y agoMost places in Mexico adhere to the NEMA 1-15 (2 flat pins) standard. Some others use the American-adopted NEMA 5-15, which include the third, ground pin. If you are from the US you shouldn't have any trouble to plug your appliances/electronics, but in case your appliance has three pins, you should bring a converter just to be on the safe side.
If you have the European Standard or any other type of connector, you should buy a power converter, as the power grid uses a 110-120 Volt and most European appliances wouldn't charge nor work properly.
