Quercus rhysophylla
I don't know why this oak has red and green leaves. Maybe the red ones are the new leaves and then they will turn green.
Mountain range at 2,500 masl.

about the only one I found that had the deepest and shiny red leaves in the shape of yours. And found in most of Mexico
There are so many species. I found a website and the closest I found was this.
