They were both revolutions in the twentieth century in Spanish-speaking countries that sought to replace a military dictatorship that favored the rich.
After their revolutions, Mexico was left with a democracy (although it was ruled by one party part for about eighty years) and Cuba was left with a communist dictatorship and a cult of personality (Castro's).
The Cuban revolution was much shorter.. a matter of days. It took many years and several presidents before the situation in Mexico stabilized (if you can call it that).
What are the similiarities and differences between the cuban and mexican revolution?
