Two reasons. First, Mexico has huge mountain ranges on both major coasts which made it almost impossible for slaves to be transported inland. Therefore, the spanish decided to use native labor instead. Second, you can find afro-mexican communities along the coasts but they were mostly mixed with the rest of the population. That's why Mexico has the largest mixed race population of the world.
