Ranking method

CA Influence Index™ (CII): how we grade Mexican food influencers

CII is a market-relative score from 0 to 99. It combines local audience fit, engagement against creators of the same size, average Reel views, and estimated real-audience share. The creators above are ordered by this score, not by follower count.

25%of the score

Audience fit

How much of the audience sits in the Mexico market. Full marks once 80% of it is there.

30%of the score

Engagement

Likes and comments against creators of the same size here. Full marks at 3x that median.

30%of the score

View power

Average Reel views against follower count. Full marks at twice the following.

15%of the score

Audience quality

Share of followers reading as real people. Full marks at 90%.

Engagement is scored against the Mexico median for a creator’s own size: around 0.8% under 50K followers, around 0.6% above 250K. Both are rounded, because the study measures them by search rather than by census.

  • A+90-99
  • A80-89
  • B65-79
  • C50-64
  • Dunder 50

The score is capped at 99 so it never implies certainty. Read the full CA Influence Index methodology. The benchmark is local, not global. Here is the market behind it.

Market benchmark

The Mexican Instagram market behind this ranking

The Mexican Instagram study covers 101,800 accounts with at least 10K followers. This page's separate discovery pool contains 129 accounts; 25 were selected.

Read the Mexico Creator Economy Report - the measurement this chart is scored against.

How the selected 25 compare with the Mexican Instagram market

Pink = the 25 food influencers above.

Grey = every Mexican Instagram account we measure with at least 10,000 followers, all 101,800 of them.

Each bar is the share that clears the threshold, so a longer pink bar means more of the shortlist clears it than of the market.

Audience at least 60% based in Mexico

selected: 68%
market: 59%

Engagement rate of 5% or better

Source: the Click Analytic Mexican creator market study of 101,800 Instagram accounts, measured 2026-09-06. The market side is read from that study; the shortlist side is computed from the cards above.

Why El Queretano Panzón is the #1 food creator

El Queretano Panzón tops this ranking with a CA Influence Index of 99 (A+), the highest among the selected accounts on this page.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How to read the Mexico food ranking and its measurements.

01How were these Mexican food creators selected?

We reviewed Mexico-based Instagram profiles that met the same audience, engagement, credibility, Reel-view and recency screen. We checked bios and recent original posts for food as the account focus, then ranked 25 by the CA Influence Index.

02What does the CA Influence Index score?

It combines Mexican audience share, engagement against a size-matched Mexico median, average Reel views relative to followers and estimated real-audience share.

03Why does El Queretano Panzón rank first?

The account grades A+ at 99, with 1,224,739 average Reel views on 203,052 followers, a 95% Mexican audience share and about 89% estimated real audience.

04How local are these audiences?

The 25 selected profiles have Mexican audience shares from 44% to 96%. Check the individual card before treating follower count as local reach.

05Are these account figures live?

No. These are saved measurements from 23 September 2026. Current profiles and campaign terms should be checked before a partnership.
