The structure of the Mexico pavilion was designed by architect and structural engineer Arturo Dulzaides in 1984. It resembles a Mesoamerican pyramid. The nightly fireworks show "Illuminations" is controlled from a window atop the building. The window is barely visible from street level, but can be seen at an angle.
Visitors enter through a display of Mexican artwork, the "Animales Fantasticos" art collection. The main room is the home to a twilight-lit Mexican marketplace, Plaza de los Amigos. At the edge of the plaza, a restaurant, ''San Angel Inn'', overlooks an indoor lagoon. To the side of the plaza, a boarding area leads to a boat ride, Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros (formerly El Rio del Tiempo).
