Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Rose, Pinot Noir

Riesling, Sparkling rosé, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Mexican. 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. You could try Forge Cellars Classique Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 21 dollars per bottle.
