Mexico recognized the Rio Grande as the Texas Border and gave up its claim to the Neuces Strip and the states of Nuevo Mexico and Alta California. The US compensated Mexico with a payment of 15 million dollars and assumed the debts that Mexico owed to US Citizens with a value of $3.25 million which was about half of it pre war offer. (See the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.)
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo .

The most important long term result of the Mexican-American War wasn't the expansion of the United States by a third (if including Texas), but the experience gained by the American officers that fought in the war. I believe this because the same officers that fought in the Mexican-American War also fought in the American Civil War, which if it weren't for the Mexican-American War the officers in the Civil War might have had different tactics, which could have lead to a different outcome of the Civil War. This alternative outcome would have been the Southern United States successfully succeeding from the Union and the eventual takeover of the Northern and Southern United States by Britain, Spain, and France.
