I am also of Mexican heritage and mine came back with 31% Native American, 61% European, 6% African and 1% Asian. My brother is very light skin and red head which could explain the European side.

look what you are asking for, to find a needle in a haystack. complaining about two tribes, which are properly less than 100 miles apart.

the test are accurate , the analyze of the results is what has the error, unless you start digging up graves and testing, the only way to pin point is with the database, the bigger the database the more accurate

I did the DNA test through ancestry.com and am of Peruvian/Spanish Heritage from what I know. My last name is Caceres.. like the city in Spain bordering Portugal. My results seemed to be quite accurate. 50% European ( 11% Irish, 16% Italian/Greek and 20% Iberian Peninsula ( Spain/Portugal)) 40% native ( i presume this is my Peruvian Native DNA) 10% are trace regions consisting of below 3% each ( Africa 3%, Middle East 3% Asia

Make sure you upload your results to GEDmatch too, that's a lot of fun (don't worry GEDmatch is free)

I was told my biological father is 100% Mexican & my Mother is caucasion, I would like to find the right test to tell me the percentage, could it tell me the percentage, and would it specifically tell me I'm half Mexican half Caucasion?

Mexicans on average are 50% European and 50% Amerindian with most ranging from 1/3-2/3 European, some individuals have small percentages of middle eastern and black ancestry. No test will break the percentages down in Mexican and Caucasian it is more complex than that. I would recommend you research the products offered by these three companies and decide if testing is something you want to pursue 23 & Me, Family Tree DNA, ancestry.com/Dna. I would not recommend any other companies I think it would be a waste of time and money.

I find it intriguing that most Mexicans tested have around 5% African ancestry. It seems to be evenly distributed throughout the population.

idk about that. my mom got 5, while her dad got 3, and her sister 6,. I guess my grandma (her mom) has at least 9% or more.
