The earthquake of magnitude 6.2 hit the southern Mexican state Chiapas breaking windows and causing frightening people to rush outside their homes.
The quake stickled in the Pacific Ocean about 35 miles (55km) south-west of the city of Mapastepec, besides Mexico's border with Guatemala.
The tremor was experienced hundreds of miles away in El Salvador's capital, San Salvador.
There were no early reports of major damage or casualties, even here is not any official and unofficial information for deaths and big damages yet.
The US Geological reports said on its website that the tremor collided between 12 to 1 local time (18:47 GMT) at a depth of 40 miles.
Residents reported feeling the shock of the quake all across the area.
Mexico lies on the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, where transcontinental plates meet, and is regularly stimulated by quakes.
