Club career

In the 2002-03 season, Mendoza played for the Bulgarian side Levski Sofia, with whom he won the Bulgarian Cup.

Although not scoring a single goal in the Premier League, Mendoza scored in the last minute against the arch-rivals CSKA Sofia in the semi-final of the Bulgarian Cup, giving Levski a 1-0 win and entering Levski's folklore forever. Mendoza is the first Ecuadorian player in Bulgarian football.

After the end of the season, he returned to Deportivo Cuenca [2] and became a champion of Ecuador in 2004.

In Ecuador, Mendoza played also for LDU Portoviejo, SD Aucas, Deportivo Quito, Deportivo Azogues and CD Olmedo.
