If you get to visit Mexico don't just visit the border cities. Those cities tend to be the worst. Those cities are the ones the cartels were fighting for, the infrastructure didn't kept up with the mass influx of immigrants
I have no intentions on visiting the border cities at this moment. I want to visit Monterrey, Aguascalientes, Veracruz, and Puebla, among a few places.
When an entire population is spoken of, one has to generalize. There are tall people in Mexico just as there are short people in the Netherlands, but they are outliers, and hence "tall" or "short" in their respective cultures. Most of the Mexicans I saw in Southern Mexico, as well as those who work here, are shorter-than-average by local standards. They may average in the 20th %tile for non-Hispanic white males. And the Salma Hayek or Antonio Verastegui look certainly is rare among them
You were in Southern Mexico. You can't generalize in this case because Southern Mexico is going to be difference from Baja. Baja is going to be different from Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas. It depends on where you go.
