But, I prefer outdoor dining, but that's not possible inside an airport.

It should open in the next few weeks, I believe. I don't recall the day that the lockdown ends, but we're still in red, so indoor dining is still closed. If we remain in red things indoor venues will be closed But, I prefer outdoor dining, but that's not possible inside an airport.

I was transiting MEX this past Thursday (4.1.21) and can report that the pre-security T1 Lounge is open.
I wasn't even aware of if but I saw on my way to Air France check-in. Since I had 4 hours, stopped in.
Pleasant but meh atmosphere. Excellent staff but the lack of any windows and view to the outside gave the place a bit of a dark, dungeon like feel.

Back at the MEX T2 lounge for the first time since before covid. I won't belabor this too much, pretty much everything is still the same as reported by Global Adventurer a few months ago ^ above. The only thing now is they're no longer using the electrostatic sprayer thing on bags. Had the green chiliquiles for breakfast which were decent. Slow moving queue of a few groups ahead of me to get in, but took a couple mins.

I didn't ask, but I'm guessing no, since they weren't mentioned as available. They only offered a haircut or nail services from the spa at check in.
Upon double checking, I won't be able to come back here on Sunday. This lounge is adopting the super early closing hours (5pm currently) so guess it's the AM Lounge for me on the way home..

Visited today, even though the website says it is closed (I saw it was open as I was walking by). At 3pm in the afternoon, on a Sunday, there were only 3 groups - a single, a family, and my wife and me. Waiter service for food and drink, soup was tepid in temperature, individual pizzas were actually pretty good, Old Fashioned was very good. The menu (scan by phone) has prices, which was confusing. But when we got the "check" at the end it was all "Zeroes." Good experience overall (very calming).

sbrower prices are there because some of the people using the lounge need to pay for the food.
Amex Plat customers (and I guess Centurions) get a free three-course meal out of a limited menu (breakfast or, for lunch/dinner, first course: soup or salad, second course: pizza or pasta, dessert). But there are other cardholders with access to the lounge - ironically, more expensive, Mexican-market cards such as the Amex Aeromexico Platinum (AF: USD 1,160). Other cards don't get the free meal.
All 5 Mexico Centurion lounges are now open. Opening hours are here. Mexican-issued Amex cardholders can skip the line by prebooking their visit, but you cannot do it with a US card.

I know that for at least the last two years, Amex changed the rules for US Domestic lounges to only accept outbound passengers. Is it the same for their international lounges? Any knowledge or data points is appreciated. Thanks.

That's a good thing, because their lounge in Terminal 2 has lines going down the stairs, and of course Centurion members have their own line, so they go first. I can't imagine folks landing in MEX having access to these lounges now. Aeromexico's lounge is always pretty full too even upstairs in the afternoon/evenings.
