The Columbian forward first appeared in the 2014 season of the ISL, where he was a part of the Chennaiyin FC team. He scored 4 goals from 9 games in his debut season, however, it was in the next season that Mendoza left his mark on the ISL. He scored 13 goals from 16 games and recorded 3 assists, ending the season with an impressive 0.81 goals per game ratio, taking Chennaiyin FC straight to the ISL Trophy. However, Mendoza has not featured in the ISL since 2015.

Mendoza started his professional career at Columbian club Envigado and has also played for Brazilian side Corinthians. After the 2015 edition of ISL, where he played on loan for Chennaiyin FC, the Columbian spent a season at MLS side New York City, also on loan. Here, he scored 5 goals from 25 games. In 2017, he joined Brazilian side Bahia, playing 31 games and scoring 8 goals. In January 2018, Mendoza joined Ligue 1 side Amiens on a 3 year deal. He has scored 2 goals from 13 appearances in the Ligue 1 last season.

As of now, there have not been any reports of Mendoza joining Chennaiyin FC for the current edition of the ISL and it seems that he will not be adding to his goal scoring tally this season.
