I'm pretty sure that the infection-step (step 2) on the epidemic cards, where you pull a card from the bottom of the infection deck and put 3 cubes on, can not trigger an outbreak (at least in January, since I have not gotten further in yet). So if Mexico City already had one cube on it, you would just place an additional 2 for a total of 3. the risk of an outbreak comes from shuffeling this card (in your case Mexico City) into the Infection Discard Pile and then putting those ontop of the draw pile.
Correct! From the rulebook:
If the city already has cubes of this color, do not add 3 cubes to it. Instead, add just enough cubes so that it has 3 cubes of this color and then an outbreak of this disease occurs in the city.
