Hola. No, you don't. Jan. 8, you do. See the information I've included below.
You will need a Photo ID, and a Government issued Birth Certificate. If your name has changed since your BC was issued, you must document any changes.
Saludos, Tim

January 1 2007 you will need one. If you are there and back by then, you need photo ID and birth certificate. But if you can go get a passport now, it is so much easier. The closer it gets the crazier the passport offices will be.

My family and I were in Cabo San Lucas for 5 days in 2005, we had our passports but were never asked for them....we drove from T.J. all the way down to Cabo, it was an awesome trip.

There are many conflicting stories. Technically, you do not need one until 2007. However, I would recommend having one. Your customs experience will be much smoother. With a passport you will most likely go thru customs quicker and easier.

I just read in the paper today that you absolutely need your passport to go to Mexico. Even if you are a baby, the paper said they are really going to enforce it.

No; at least until 1/1/07. Until then you can enter Mexico with a photo ID and your ORIGINAL birth cirtificate.

Yes. If, I'm sure you are, you're going to stay longer than 72 hours you must have a passport. They, I hear, take quite a while to get so plan way ahead.

No, you do not. It is recommended however. What is required is a government issued ID (such as a driver's license) and your birth certificate. The U.S. State Department has more info if you want to check the link.

No, but passports are easy to get anyway. It's the visa (if you need one) that you have to worry about.
