Mexican cinema experienced a sort of resurgence during that period and there are a handful of really well-made movies that came out of it.
However, some of the ones I'll list here aren't necessarily super-high art nor really "family friendly," (in the way that Y tu mama también is not family friendly) so be forewarned. Amores perros, of course! Superb soundtrack as well Sexo, pudor y lagrimas - focused on relationships between 6 urban-dwelling adults. Cilantro y perejil - same sort of story, relationships, etc.. Todo el poder - more action-y suspenseful movie about hunting down corruption.
