BibTeX is part of LaTeX, and AucTeX includes 'RefTeX' which allows you to look up citations and add them into your paper. Some of the features will be less than you will find in Mendeley, but you can add notes for each BibTeX record (notes field). RefTeX also allows you to internally reference the documents, so you can link within the document on the basis of the page numbers, section etc, so it has lots of extra functionality. Hope that helps.
