I'm actually a violinist by hobby and I've played in orchestras. You pretty much summarized the most well known repertoire. I'd like to include or recommend you some more:

  • Joaquin Beristain composed an overture for spring, called simply like that Obertura a la Primavera. You can hear much of european influence though.

  • Silvestre Revuelstas is very well known on international repertoire: Sensemayá, surely is more popular in latin symphonic music, but I've heard some European orchestras have shown interest as well due to its complex rhythms, in fact, it was featured in the american movie Sin City. Another large piece his well known is La noche de los Mayas (the night of the Mayans).

  • Manuel Maria Ponce has two very well known pieces, the first one, a song for soprano and accompaniment (being piano or orchestra) is called Estrellita, it's quite popular also abroad, there are even arrangements for tenor or solo violin. The other piece I recall is a sweet simple movement for piano called Intermezzo, and as a bonus, there's a Gavote that I used to play in string quartets.

  • Carlos Chavez is another mexican composer, his Symphony No. 2 dubbed "Sinfonia India", is often played in mexican repertoire too.

  • Arturo Marquez is the composer who is very popular now days in Mexico, since you already mentioned his famous Danzon 2, I highly recommend you the No. 4, the No. 5, the No. 8 (a tribute to Ravel). You can buy an album called El dazon segun marquez if you're into his style; as you can see, he did almost like what piazzolla did to the Tango, taking it a step higher into orchestral repertoire Marquez used the Danzon style and made symphonic and chamber music with it. Just this last Novemeber he premiered a cantata called Alas (a Malala).

    I know there's plenty more, but I hope this might get you entertained somehow.
