Akin to all Millenium Underground line stations, Mexikói út has two side platforms, one serving each direction of travel. To the north of the station are a pair of sidings and the access to the line's depot, and arriving trains stop to set down passenger at the northbound platform, pull forward into one of the sidings to reverse, and then pick up passengers at the southbound platform.
The line's depot lies at ground level to the east of the station, and is accessed by a ramped track from the underground station. The depot also has a track access to the city's tram network.
