That question is very vague. Mexico is one of the most culturally diverse nations in the world. The huge variety in mexican cuisine alone could make anyone dizzy (mexican food from different regions changes quite drastically even though corn tortillas are still the main staple).

The country has more than 50 official languages where spanish is the main one (kinda helps making communication a bit easier), not to mention if you take inot account many indian languages are different dialects that are almost languages of their own, the total number goes up to over 200 languages (without counting people who use english, german, italian, french, etc...).

Traditional clothing varies hugely between regions. The hats that tzotzil speaking indians wear really stand out for instance.

Heck, even popular music changes a lot. People from the north like to listen to corridas, people in Veracruz listen to marimbas, and people (bus drivers in particular) from central Mexico find great joy torturing other people listening to cumbia and grupera music at full volume.

Add that mexican culture as such is the fusion between mesoamerican indian culture and Spanish culture which affects many aspects of the country, such as in food dishes, religion and architecture.

I'd find it really hard to condense such a rich culture of a country like Mexico into a short paper. You'd probably need to write a 50 volume enclyclopedia and even then it might not cover everything.
