Salvadoran Mexicans (Spanish: salvadoreño-mexicanos) are people of Salvadoran descent living in Mexico.
The largest wave of Salvadorans arrived in Mexico as refugees during the Salvadoran Civil War.
During the 2010 Census, there were 8,088 El Salvador-born individuals registered as living in Mexico.[2] According to the Salvadoran consul in Mexico José Antonio Domínguez Mena, as of December 2016 only 10% to 15% of Salvadoran nationals were registered with the Instituto Nacional de Migración.[3]
