Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Mexican can be paired with Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé. 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. One wine you could try is Dutton-Goldfield Emerald Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir. It has 4.9 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 58 dollars.
