Immersion, IMHO, is the best way! While my immersion was atypical (tossed into a 4th grade classroom in a foreign country), it worked quickly and I'm grateful for it. Fast forward to modern era and there are speciality immersion schools that I strongly recommend and they are much kinder that Señora DeGracia! My only caution would be to tell you to be very careful choosing a school in Mexico -- there are safe places to go (Costa Rica, Chile, most of Peru) where you can have fun getting lost in the countryside or in the cities without worrying about your safety. Disfrute!
