Atlético Mexiquense was founded during the "Invierno 97" season, when the team Deportivo Toluca F.C. decided to purchase the team "Toltécas" from Atlético Hidalgo, (which were created in the "Invierno 96" season as part of the expansion of the Primera División A). The team was bought and were brought to play in Toluca under the name of Atlético Mexiquense. By this, they became affiliated to Deportivo Toluca F.C., who plays in Primera División de Mexico.
The objective of Atlético Mexiquense is to form players that can incorporate themselves from short or medium time to Deportivo Toluca F.C., and to make sure they understand how the Mexican League works.
Atlético Mexiquense, in their short history, has had moments of glory, such as in their first season, (Invierno 97), where they finished as number 1 in the standings, with a total of 47 points. They were led by manager Marco Trejo León. Also, in the Clausura 2004 season, Atlético Mexiquense finished 2nd place in the standings and played for the first time in the Primera A Championship in their history against San Luis F.C., (who won and eventually ascended to the Primera División).
The team does not have a special nickname, although some call them the "Diablitos" (Little Devils), "pingos", and "demonios" (Demons).
Atlético Mexiquense began at Estadio Nemesio Díez (La Bombonera) in the city Toluca, alternating with their parent team.
Starting in the Apertura 2005 season, Atlético Mexiquense moved Ixtapan 90 Stadium, founded in the district of Ixtapan de la Sal, which counts with a capacity for 2,500 fans.
