Santiago de Atitlan, across the lake from Panajachel (AKA, Gringo-tenango)
One of the best you will ever see. Takes place (like most of the good ones) in local Cemetery. Also, the town of Todos Santos is said to be quite a party. In the small town it's mostly indigenous folk, they celebrate for about a week, hanging out with loved ones graveside, offering favorite food and drink. Lots of Incense and Aquardiente.
Not sure where to go in Mexico, but do know it's quite a good party in Oaxaca.
You may see more commercial, tourist based Muertos events in Northern Mexico. Not as many indigenous folk.
