Narrative:
On departure we were given a SID just prior to takeoff. I looked at it to see what was required (which was a turn at 500 ft to intercept a radial to 15 DME and then arc at 15 DME to the 291 degree radial). We then departed and, shortly after takeoff, were switched over to departure. The first officer was talking to departure (who said cleared on course upon initial contact). I questioned whether he wanted us to do the SID and then proceeded on course. He answered 'cleared on course, climb unrestr.' that made me refer back to the SID to see that there was a restr to cross 10 DME at or below 4000 ft. Since we were rocketing up through 5000 ft, I hope the departure controller's initial instructions voided the restr. I should have taken more time to read the SID. Our flts are always rushed to depart on time from mexico due to logistics and I was still in a hurry-up mode prior to takeoff.

Title: FLC OF AN MLG FAILED TO STOP AT A SID CLB RESTR ALT DURING DEP FROM A FOREIGN ARPT.
Narrative: ON DEP WE WERE GIVEN A SID JUST PRIOR TO TKOF. I LOOKED AT IT TO SEE WHAT WAS REQUIRED (WHICH WAS A TURN AT 500 FT TO INTERCEPT A RADIAL TO 15 DME AND THEN ARC AT 15 DME TO THE 291 DEG RADIAL). WE THEN DEPARTED AND, SHORTLY AFTER TKOF, WERE SWITCHED OVER TO DEP. THE FO WAS TALKING TO DEP (WHO SAID CLRED ON COURSE UPON INITIAL CONTACT). I QUESTIONED WHETHER HE WANTED US TO DO THE SID AND THEN PROCEEDED ON COURSE. HE ANSWERED 'CLRED ON COURSE, CLB UNRESTR.' THAT MADE ME REFER BACK TO THE SID TO SEE THAT THERE WAS A RESTR TO CROSS 10 DME AT OR BELOW 4000 FT. SINCE WE WERE ROCKETING UP THROUGH 5000 FT, I HOPE THE DEP CTLR'S INITIAL INSTRUCTIONS VOIDED THE RESTR. I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN MORE TIME TO READ THE SID. OUR FLTS ARE ALWAYS RUSHED TO DEPART ON TIME FROM MEXICO DUE TO LOGISTICS AND I WAS STILL IN A HURRY-UP MODE PRIOR TO TKOF.
