Mexican Spanish as spoken by educated Mexicans especially from Mexico City is considered to be good Latin American Spanish. The Spanish spoken by educated Colombians from Bogota is said by many people to be the "best" Latin American Spanish. In fact, the variety of Spanish that is generally taught in the United States is usually based on that standard (i.e., Latin American Spanish as spoken by a highly educated Mexican from Mexico City or a highly educated Colombian from Bogota).
Compared to Caribbean Spanish, Mexican Spanish is somewhat slower. However, I have heard many non-native speakers of Spanish complain that Mexicans speak really fast. While Mexicans generally don't "eat letters" when they speak (like Caribbean people), they do use a lot of slang.
