If I recall correctly, the Mexican army was poorly equipped, poorly trained, and poorly led.

I read that the mexican soldiers had to use less gunpowder than the americans due to fear that the guns might explode and that made the bullet very weak and short range due to their american c**terparts who had more state of the art rifles also their cannon had the same problem as the guns but the mexican soldiers were still very able to defeat the american army.
