Mejicanos, District in Central San Salvador, El Salvador.
Mejicanos extends over 22 square kilometers at 630 meters elevation, bordering the districts of Ayutuxtepeque, Apopa, Ciudad Delgado, and Cuscatancingo.
Spanish conquistadors arrived in 1524 accompanied by Mexican indigenous allies who established settlements, making Mejicanos the largest Mexican community in Central America.
The district celebrates its patron saint festivities from August 8 to 15, honoring the Virgin of Transit with local ceremonies and gatherings.
The municipal market provides residents with fresh produce, dairy products, and essential goods through multiple vendor stations and commercial areas.
The house of priest Nicolas Aguilar served as a meeting point for independence movement leaders planning the 1814 uprising against Spanish rule.
