[1/5] Not particularly well actually, since the Mexican Genocide of indigenous peoples all over the country.
Although most Nahua people nowadays are mestizos; like the vast majority of people living in Mexico. Nahua communities face many difficulties in comparison with modern ethno-Mexican ones
To illustrate this (and in a more personal aspect), There are so many people of European descent (White for simplicity) in Northern Mexico, that I am usually the person with the darkest skin in my social groups.
So I spent the first 20-or-so years of my life, believing I was Black (i.e. African).
[2/5] That being said, nowadays in Mexico, most people and institutions are pretty ignorant and indifferent regarding ethnic differences, and we tend to segregate based on capital, academic education, and sometimes skin colour (neither of which is fine).
[3/5] It is interesting however, to note that in recent years, the government's been making an effort in recognizing their cultural importance, going as far as making Nahuatl (and other indigenous languages) official languages of Mexico.
[4/5] And dictating SEP (the Mexican Department of Public Education, if you will) to have basic education (Elementary & High School) available in Nahuatl and other indigenous languages, in regions where they are widely spoken.
