If you want to make the most basic "Mexican" spice for taco meat or anything else, you can basically just mix cumin with chili powder and salt. Chili powder has some cumin in it already, but not enough for tacos. Chili powder should have all the other spices already mixed in (garlic, onion, oregano, paprika, etc). Definitely always a good spice for meat, but I wouldn't use it on a "nice" cut. The whole point is to basically drown out the flavor of the shitty sun-rotten meat you're using.
