If this helps, Mexicans can use an exchange to cash out into fiat.
For example with Coinbase, cash out using a bank account, or with cash pickup -- e.g., at Oxxo, and I think even Walmart.
Coinbase introduces Cash Out at 37,000 physical locations in Mexico, including Oxxo

Other exchanges exist (e.g., Bit2Me), but I don't know the space or which ones are good or not.
You can use Remitly to send yourself a remittance in Mexico -- pick up at 7-eleven, Oxxo, etc. Remitly works for sending from the U.S., and 27 other countries. KYC required.

/me Walks into closet where the S9 is humming away. Closes door behind me. Stands before the shelf holding the S9, looks at the LED light and whispers:
"Forgive me Satoshi, for I have sinned. This is my first confession. In the past hour I have suggested that in order to help a bitcoiner to persuade a stranger to accept bitcoin that the bitcoiner could mention to that stranger how they could -- if they wanted to, cash out into local fiat. For my penance, I will re-read the white paper three times, and will orange-pill two strangers in hopes that action might help towards making up for my transgression."
"As far as suggesting Conbase, ... I acknowledge that was a mortal sin and I pray that I will not be damned to a life on fiat for the rest of all time."

FWIW Mexico City at least has a few Bitcoin ATMs. Likely to be others around the country too.

So knowing that they can get pesos using their bitcoin might hellp in persuading them to accept your bitcoin.
Otherwise, the method to get yourself some pesos for spending using "remittance to yourself" could be an alternative for you.
Looks like Remitly is who Coinbase is using for "last-mile" delivery into Mexico. So you can probably do that "remittance to yourself with cash pickup" if you have a Coinbase account too. I think, but I'm not sure.
