That is because every place where Spanish is spoken has different influences, for example, Mexico has the ancient Mayan, Otomi, Tarasco, Purepecha etc dialects, in south America, there is Portuguese, and a little bit of French in addition to all the Indian dialects, not even the Spanish from Spain is pure, they had influence from the north of Africa, and probably all western Europe.
P.S. Is not to be rude or anything, but "Mexican" is not a dialect, it is also Spanish, but Mexican Spanish, it is a complete language, derived, if not the same with variations, as the Spanish from Spain. The RAE (Spanish Royal Academy) is the same for all.
