I would imagine, just like with a wood floor, it's going to take several passes with finer and finer grits. I'd probably also stay away from drum sander.

They take some experience to use without gouging the floor even a tile floor. I'm curious why you didn't get more specific answers from your expert? If he's still available, I think you'd be better off asking him. Since Mexican tile is only popular in certain parts of the country and only some percentage people sand and stain the old tile, finding a Home Depot employee with direct experience might be a challenge. Another thought might be to find a tile store in your area that caters to the trades.
