MexiSlang
I found this book useful. A lot of colloquialisms, some old, but many current. A lot of dirty stuff, but a bit of everything

Get a copy of The People's Guide To Mexico by Carl Franz and Lorena Havens. It's not a typical tourist guidebook, but really a book for US Americans about how to live & travel without much money in Mexico. Amazing amounts of useful info on how to deal with every situation you might encounter (when you can't throw cash at your problems to make them go away).
If you want a crash course on the slang: Mexislang (written by a fellow /r/mexico redditor)
I'm 1st gen & know some slang, but not tons. Some dude wrote this book and it's only a few bucks on kindle so I got it for the lulz: https://www.amazon.com/Mexislang-understanding-mexican-friends-saying-ebook/dp/B078TR4RY2

A lot of the Mexican Americans in the USA came here to escape poverty, violence etc. or are the children of immigrants who did such. Or gringos who have never been and only believe what Fox news tells them. Theres definitely a lot of violence in certain areas of the country, and gang-related violence, but for the most part Mexico City is as safe as any other large city for a tourist. I'm a gringo whose been down there multiple times last year and had an amazing time. It's an amazing city and easy to get to from the Southwest USA. Check out Teotihuacan (half-day trip), La Condesa/Roma, Casa Azul, Diego Rivera Murales, loads more. Here is a book I found useful (written by longterm expat) https://www.amazon.com/Mexico-CIty-Opinionated-Curious-Traveler-ebook/dp/B013L38HY8/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1525217901&sr=1-1
