Ask when you eat, check labels, you will find many in English. The Spanish word for peanuts is "cacahuate". Labels also include the line "puede contener trazsos de ..." which means may contain traces of . Be careful with some typical dishes like mole which is a sauce for meat or chicken which has chile peppers, chocolate, and peanuts. My wife and kids love it. A good question to ask if the people at the restaurant don't speak much English (in the better restaurants, even in the small towns, someone - if not all generally speaks some English) is ¿Cuales platos no tienen nada de cacahuate? or Which dishes have no peanuts?<br><b>References : </b><br> I live in Mexico with a strong peanut and other nut allergy.

I would still take great care depending on how severe the allergy is. As for food in Mexico be careful that the language/ Money barrier doesn't change things. There are many straight forward foods that don't have any association with peanuts. I would take general universal precautions. Maybe you could also take some time to learn any allergy related language.
