As modern countries, no. The United States was not independent from England until 1783, while Mexico didn't won its independence from Spain until 1821.

In terms of ancient history however, Mexico is much older than the United States. Although the Americas have had native populations since the last ice age, some 15,000 years ago, no real civilizations were established on American soil until the foundation of Jamestown in 1607. On the other hand, Mexico was home to several civilizations, including the Mayans, Toltecs, Olmecs and Aztecs. The earliest civilization was the Olmec, whose peak happened around 900 BC. The latest were the Aztecs, who were conquered by Spanish conquistadors in 1521.
