Buenas fotos! me encantan las mantis
Thank you very much @ForestDragon :) my mistake.
Hi Billo-kun! This is a beautiful series. However, I am sure this is not Mantis religiosa (European Mantis). The body shape and structure is different.

That being said, I am not sure what species this is. Body structure reminds me of Genus Stagmomantis. I think yours is a nymph and female. There are at least two species of Stagmomantis that occur in Mexico that I know of. Unfortunately, I can't give you more than that.
Here is one of the species that occur in Mexico:
