Club career
Mondragón came through at the Escuelas de Fútbol de Jiquilisco, and started his professional career at hometown club Topiltzín in the Second Division.
He made his debut at the highest domestic level with Luis Ángel Firpo and played for Águila, Juventud Independiente and Nejapa, before joining Isidro Metapán in 2010.
One of the worst moments in Mondragón's career was in the Clausura 2003 final against San Salvador FC, when Luis Ángel Firpo, his team at that time, was defeated 1–3 under the coaching of Miloš Miljanić.
Later, Mondragón would take Luis Ángel Firpo to a new final at the Clausura 2007, but they lost the final again, this time against Isidro Metapán (0–1) under the coaching of Hugo Coria.
However, luck would change for Mondragón, after his signing for Isidro Metapán he would win the titles of the Apertura 2010, Apertura 2012 and Apertura 2014.
Once announced his retirement from professional soccer after a step without grief or glory with Alianza, Mondragón joined the coaching staff of Misael Alfaro (former goalkeeper against whom he lost two finals) at Chalatenango as goalkeeper coach.
