As far as I know from experience crossing the border you are allowed one bottle of liquor/wine per person, one carton of cigarettes and the regular tourist items.
No meats uncooked, poultry/eggs raw, fruits some vegetables and that varies with the customs agent.
For meat purchase it at the butcher shop "carnisero" or mercado, ask for arrachera good bbq meat, aguallon is for a roast in a slow cooker, chuletas de puerco "pork chops" the eggs are probably going to be maybe a couple of day's since they were laid, wash all the vegetables and fruit with soap and rinse all legumes with iodine drops and lime juice (in Mexico limes are called limon "green" and lemons are called limas "yellow"), we boil the water that we use to rinse the fruit, veggies and lettuce, using tap water defeats the cleaning.
