No.
The equator runs along thirteen countries:
São Tomé and PrÃncipe - passing through Ilhéu das Rolas, an islet in this archipelago
Gabon
Republic of the Congo
Democratic Republic of Congo
Uganda - including some islets in Lake Victoria
Kenya
Somalia
Maldives - misses every island, passing between Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll and Gnaviyani Atoll
Indonesia - crosses many islands, most notably Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, and Halmahera
Kiribati - misses every island, passing between Aranuka and Nonouti Atolls in the Gilbert Islands
Ecuador - including Isabela Island in the Galápagos Islands
Colombia
Brazil - including some islands in the mouth of the Amazon River and passing through Macapá, capital of Amapá state
The last one being the closest to Mexico...

Errmmm...... No. It's about 30 degrees north of the Equator. The Equator runs almost exactly across the northernmost tip of Peru and through the town of Quito (the Capital of Ecuador).
