When asked to show a driver's license which does one present first, Mexican or US or other?

If I were a beautful woman, as you are, I would smile and ask "Which would you prefer?"

Chuckie, you made my day, thanks.
You're so sweet and a good friend, but I doubt "tossing pennies to the peasants"
will cut it with a traffic cop.
Seriously, folks, when driving a legal Mexican-plated car in the US must we have a US license? What's the law here?

There was a posting not toooo long ago about a BN driving his Mex plated vehicle in CA proudly showing the CHPer who pulled him over his Mex DL or
residency car and his CDL. And ended up being cited for not surrendering the CDL after changing his residence to Mex.
I may not have that perfect but its something to do a search for.
Last time I rented a card at PDX the system would not accept my very short Comondu DL number. Counter folk had to call home office to get it in.
Yet the system accepted my City Club card as a Home Depot one for discount.

If you live in MX and have a MX driver's license, show your MX driver's license. Be prepared to prove you are in the U.S. legally.

If you are driving a MEX VEH show a MEX DL………
No reason to show or even have a CA DL if you aren't a resident

I no longer hold a California Drivers License, just a BC license which I show if stopped NOB. I haven't had a problem renting a car with it and in
fact have done so at several different airports in the US...
