The official information from the show just says she's Latina without specifying.

Here's from Nick Jr website: "Dora the Explorer is a half-hour animated children's television series starring a 7-year-old Latina girl and her friends. The show is designed to actively engage preschoolers in a play-along, computer-style adventure.

Dora the Explorer teaches children how to observe situations and solve problems as they explore Dora's world with her. Along the way, kids learn basic Spanish words and phrases, as well as math skills, music, and physical coordination. The show is highly interactive, and Dora's young viewers are encouraged throughout the show to respond to Dora and to actively participate in the adventure through physical movement.

Dora the Explorer tells the story of Dora Marquez, a seven-year old Latina who ventures forth on various simple but obstacle-filled quests. Dora involves the other protagonists and the viewer of the show in the quest. At the end of each episode, Dora celebrates the completion of the quest with a song ("We Did It") and asks what the viewer's favorite part of the adventure was. In the original episodes, Dora the Explorer was shown to live in a computer (similar to Aelita from Code Lyoko), but now she resides in a jungle with her family. Dora's exact national origin remains vague because no specific Latin American country is ever mentioned. Though the majority of her exploits seem to point to her being of Puerto Rican descent (As Coqui, an indigenous frog of Puerto Rico is often mentioned). In any case, Dora speaks both Spanish and English (or another language and English in the various dubs). Dora's country of residence (the setting of most episodes) is also vague, though the palm trees and other flora suggest a tropical or semi-tropical area of the Americas. (The name of a recurring Spanish-speaking squirrel character, Tico, hints that the setting may be Costa Rica, whose residents are called ticos.) A good guess is that Dora lives in one of the tropical parts of Mexico which is most commonly associated with the interaction of both Latin American and U.S. culture. Dora is voiced by Kathleen Herles in the original English version. Dora's name is taken from the Spanish word Exploradora, which means "female explorer." It is also said that her namesake is Dora Barlaz, a science teacher at New York City's Horace Mann School, who was the fiancée of the show's creator when he was designing it. They did not marry.

Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday. There's also a Toucan, which is a tropical bird that lives in Mexico. I even remember that in one episode, Tico or some other character wore sombreros. Also, there is cacti, which are in desert areas such as Mexico

Thus she is an Indigenous Mexican. The show never said what ethnicity, but these hints strongly suggested that she is Mexican.
