"Tourist Travel: U.S. citizens do not require a visa or a tourist card for tourist stays of 72 hours or less within "the border zone," defined as an area between 20 to 30 kilometers of the border with the U.S., depending on the location. U.S. citizens traveling as tourists beyond the border zone or entering Mexico by air must pay a fee to obtain a tourist card, also known as an FM-T, available from Mexican consulates, Mexican border crossing points, Mexican tourism offices, airports within the border zone and most airlines serving Mexico. The fee for the tourist card is generally included in the price of a plane ticket for travelers arriving by air."

Well, I am always learning something new here...I guess that as it notes it was done automagically the last time I went...oh, and yes, your passport will be simplest (see the rest of the page)...

I was in Mazatla'n long ago...a rather pretty place (especially when the cruise ships were not in town - they really drove the prices up)...;-)

You will receive your visa on the plane or on arrival in Mexico, don't lose it or you have to pay $45 USD to replace!! (You need it to leave too)
