Oxaca is great. I've traveled all over Mexico (way off the beaten path for 3 months). Try the lonely planet guide book on Mexico - it's got what you're looking for. It also is helpfull to brush up on Spanish.

The Mexico City sewage system!
Just kidding - You got some good answers above such as Real de Catorce and Pachuca, hidalgo. Check out San Jose del Pacifico and Huautla de Jimenez both on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec which is the stretch between the Mexican Gulf and the Pacific. This is an area where there also is Peyote (as mentioned in one of the other answers) used by the indigenous inhabitants. Some "tourists" or wannabe know-your-self-through-an-astral - hallucinogenic - trip go there and try the peyote which is in extinction. It belongs to the cactus family and take over 25 years to grow into full maturity. So if you visit one of these obscure places to enlighten your self please consider the self of the peyote and its right to remain.
The best way in my opinion to discover these places is visiting them, enjoying the nature, getting to know the people, their daily tribulations, making it consciousness raising experience! Have a good one!

Real de Catorce, San Luis Potosà ( mysterious place, semi abandoned town, with nice landscapes of desert, mountains, a canyon, caverns...there's an ethnic group called "Huichol", they worship the sun and a cactus called "peyote" (which causes hypersensitiveness and to hallucinate), but it's been used as a sacred thing since 3000 years ago and its used within an important ritual in this community).

Well I live in Pachuca, Hidalgo and have for four years. I'm an American and I'm still discovering neat hidden away places in this area. While very popular with Mexican tourists, Pachuca gets very few American or Canadian tourists. I recommend it. Neat colonial mining villages nearby, colonial churches and buildings in Pachuca itself, a national park nearby, hot spring baths not far away also.
