Your US drivers license is good in Mexico but many expats choose to have both. There is a written test and a driving test; both are very easy and if your Spanish isn't up to snuff, they usually help you along with the written test if you already have a US license. Recently, a local expat lady got very flustered and couldn't do a thing right; she began to cry and got her license in minutes!
Note: Requirements may differ from state to state in Mexico, just as elsewhere.
