You don't need a visa.

From Timatic:

Visa Exemptions: Passengers with a valid visa issued by Canada, Japan, USA, United Kingdom or a Schengen Member State for a maximum stay of 180 days.

Since Timatic is the database relied on by the airlines you'll have no trouble boarding.

Another, unambiguous version of the same statement:

Please note that travellers who wish to visit Mexico (regardless of their nationality or itinerary), holding a valid, multiple entry visa for the United States of America, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom or the Schengen Space countries DO NOT need to apply for a tourist, business or transit Mexican visa.
