Well he's up against Winfield Scott argueably the greatest American general ever and at one point "the greatest general alive" in the words of the Duke of Wellington.
It was a mix. There were some units that were untrained peasant conscripts, and others such as cavalry that were from the upper classes and were more motivated. A better leader would have ideally been able to drill some discipline into them. Or at least inspired them with a record of military victory. But even working with what was available a better military leader would have been able to win the day for Mexico. It was a lot closer a fight than people realize.Mexican army was an army were the officers corps was very bad and the soldiers were illiterate peasants conscripted by force and driven by whip...

Please tell me that is either sarcasm or something which is totally untrue.
