Have you and your spouse completed the NVC stage yet?  If so, has your spouse completed the visa interview yet?  No visa will be issued until after the interview.

Around 2.5+ years for a beneficiary interviewing in Mexico --

• I-130 processing at USCIS -- around 1 year
• NVC review -- currently around 1 month, from the time you submit all requirements
• Wait time for interview slot at the consulate in Juarez (CDJ), where your spouse will interview -- currently around 1.5 years after being Documentarily Qualified (DQ) at NVC
• From interview to visa issuance -- depends on the case

Doesn't matter where you get married.  If she's in Mexico now, those are the current estimates to get a spouse visa.

Do you mean the timelines here on VisaJourney? 

Yes, I went through the process, but 3,5 years ago and I am not from Mexico. 
The best advice that I can give you is to just take it as it comes. Other people’s timelines are not a prediction for your case’s timeline, even for the same country, because everybody’s case is different. Don’t try to make plans because immigration has its own timelines.

Haven't seen spousal visas processed that quickly for many years.

 

You should do some reading about the overall process, as the petition phase is only one part of it.
