As always, the Department of State “Reciprocity Tables” are a font of information. They are considered to be authoritative by the US immigration authorities.

Hmm, I’ve friends who found it easy. My understanding is it is a tad complicated if one party is a Mexican citizen.
One thing to remember is that Mexico does NOT recognize religious ceremonies; it is the civil procedures that count. (There is a lot of anti-clerical sentiment in Mexican history which influences its law. Until a few years back, priests could not wear clerical garb in public).
You are correct that most IV cases are handled through CDJ which is not the most pleasant place. That said, a small number of CR/IR cases are handled in Mexico.
