No. Although the United States does generally recognize marriages performed in Mexico, the federal government does not currently recognize same-sex marriages regardless of where they were performed.

However, individual states that have legalized same-sex marriage do recognize same-sex marriages performed in Mexico.

Also, same-sex marriages performed in the United States are recognized by the Mexican government, including for Immigration purposes.
