Sergio Aguero and Lionel Messi struck in the dying stages in Texas as Gerardo Martino's men rallied to secure a draw.
After using Messi from the bench in the 7-0 thumping of Bolivia on Friday, Martino deployed his talisman from the start in front of a packed house in Texas.
However, it was Javier Hernandez who was the first to get the crowd off their feet as he converted a cool first-half penalty to put Mexico ahead.
Moises Munoz was in fine form for much of the game, denying the South Americans time and again before Hector Herrera doubled his side's advantage.
The goalkeeper's 85th-minute blunder allowed Aguero to tap home what looked like a consolation goal but Messi popped up with a brilliant finish moments later to secure the draw.
