I have a question. I'm writing my thesis and I use a custom cover page using the \includepdf command, then I start the document, but I think this command adds an extra blank page after using it.. Check my code out:

\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt,openany]{book}
\usepackage[spanish,mexico,es-lcroman]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
    \thispagestyle{empty}
    \includepdf[pages=1]{portada_tesis.pdf} %the cover page, after it the blank page is added
    \maketitle %another filled page
    \thispagestyle{empty}
     The document text starts here...
\end{document}

Do you guys know why that happen and how to avoid the extra page ?

I'm not sure about your question. As far as I understand, you would like to have a »title page«, that displays »portada_tesis.pdf«. Then a second title page, produced by the command \maketitle?

If so, you need to say which title using \title{whatever}. To avoid an empty page, you can change \maketitle, using this answer here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/86255/4736 So I commented out \maketitle in your example and added a title and {\let\newpage\relax\maketitle}.

\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt,openany]{book}
\usepackage[spanish,mexico,es-lcroman]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{pdfpages}

\title{Title of Document}
\begin{document}
    \thispagestyle{empty}
    \includepdf[pages=1]{portada_tesis.pdf} %the cover page, after it the blank page is added
{\let\newpage\relax\maketitle}
%    \maketitle %another filled page
    \thispagestyle{empty}
     The document text starts here...
\end{document}
