The 5.7 magnitude quake prompting office workers to rapidly evacuate Monday afternoon.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries related.
Mexico City located on a former lakebed, making the ground soft and meaning earthquakes even far away are felt strongly.

Mexico city has been hit by many quakes over the years, including one with a monumental magnitude of 8.0 in 1985.
The event caused a shocking amount of destruction to the Greater Mexico City area and the deaths of at least 5,000 people.
Earlier today, a 6.3 quake hit the Philipines killing at least eight people in the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire geological area.
