Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Rose, Pinot Noir

Mexican works really well with Riesling, Sparkling rosé, and Pinot Noir. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The Forge Cellars Classique Riesling with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.
