The cemetery is located at the eastern edge of Austin and was historically located between Austin and the rural community of Hornsby Bend. It is located adjacent to the eastern side of Hornsby Cemetery. Both cemeteries are served by the same private gravel road and parking area, but the sign on the gate of the private road leading off of FM 969 (Webberville Road) only identifies Hornsby Cemetery.

The Cementerio Mexicano was dedicated in 1911, which makes its official establishment after that of Hornsby Cemetery, which was dedicated in 1891. According to the director of the Hornsby Cemetery Association the fence surrounding the two does not follow the deed lines and the Cementerio Mexicano actually has "quite a bit of land on the other side of its fence." Cementerio Mexicano, like Hornsby Cemetery, served the Hornsby Bend community and continues to serve those who grew up there. For that reason, it is also known jointly with Hornsby Cemetery as Hornsby Bend Cemetery, which can lead to confusion when relying on funeral and death records where use of the name Hornsby Bend Cemetery may refer to either cemetery.
