There's nothing out there for 6mm modern mexican cartel infantry that will work without kitbashing is there?

You could put a Narco Wars force together out of Irregular's Vietnam, Modern, and Riot ranges. The Plains War settlers would work for some extra armed civilians.

GHQ has a number of irregular type infantry packs that you could make work.

GHQ Models does have some irregulars that might be adaptable.

I saw the GHQ ones, not what I'm looking for I'm afraid. Are the irregular ones good sculpts?

No idea.

The GHQ Sub-Saharan Irregulars were painted by me a few years ago. These are the ones in the top link on Javelin98s post.
I do not think they would represent Mexican, Central American,or South American drug cartel members very well.

The second group would be generally closer but probably the guys with the ball hats would be better than the guys with berets.

Perhaps GHQ could do some at some point but they do not seem to be creating any new infantry in 6mm lately. A new dedicated cartel pack would include guys in baseball hats, bare heads, maybe some bandanas or boonie hats. A wide range of weaponry as well such as pistols, ARs and submachine guns. Footwear might include sneakers and boots.
