Moose, the after-hours access varies from airport to airport. Here,
there are enough floodlights to allow a pilot to choose a parking spot,
and an assortment of chocks and tie-down ropes. For "regulars", there
is an access code to allow them into the building. Scheduled freight
flights are met by airport personnel who can provide fork-lift support
if necessary. Many corporate flights call ahead to arrange for rental
cars, etc.
Runway lights are activated by Mic Clicks, and remain on for 15 minutes.
I can't speak for Mexico. We do have a number of flights from border
airports in support of local auto manufacturers.

That was my first thought, Chris. I think the staff had departed for
the day.
I was startled once when we landed in Culiacan in a private plane, and
all the landing and taxi lights went out as soon as we were down. The
whole place was dark, but for our landing lights and one little room
we passed through on the way to our car.
