The Battle of Mejicanos was a confrontation between Salvadoran troops and Mexican troops led by General Vicente Filísola during the Mexican annexation of El Salvador.[1]
The battle occurred on February 7, 1823, where the confrontation between Salvadorans and Mexicans would take place, resulting in a Mexican victory [2] with 13 Mexican casualties and some wounded while the Salvadorans suffered 100 casualties.[3]
After the Mexican victory, the Mejicanos would occupy the city, the Mexicans advanced to San Salvador where a confrontation would occur that would end with a Mexican victory where El Salvador was annexed [4] to the Mexican Empire, swearing loyalty to it until its dissolution.
