Both the United States and Mexico recognize marriages performed in other jurisdictions as long as the marriage was legal in the jurisdiction where it was performed. Both countries, however, reserve the right to reject a marriage which is "against public policy" (e.g., incestuous or polygamous marriages). As for same-sex marriages, they are recognized by Mexico and all Mexican states, but not by the federal government in the United States and not by most U.S. states.

The real question here is, did you register your divorce in Mexico with the US embassy or councilate? If you did then you may have just found yourself in a legal bind. If the marriage in Mexico was never registered in the US then you are probably in the clear. Check it out with a lawyer just to be on the safe side.

If you get married in Mexico paid taxes as married in US but never married in US then in divorce process can you get married in US with another person?

I'm not totally sure what exactly you're asking- it sounds like you're asking if the US recognizes a legal marriage from Mexico. If that's the case, then yes, the US does recognize legal marriages that happen in other countries- it actually happens all the time, people get married at resorts in Mexico, Jamaica, and elsewhere in the Caribbean, even occasionally on cruise ships! This of course requires that the marriage was properly registered with the relevant local authorities. So you cannot legally marry another person until the Mexican marriage's divorce proceedings have finished.
