Carlos Augusto Ochoa Mendoza (born March 5, 1978 in Apatzingán) is a Mexican footballer striker who last played for Monarcas Morelia of Liga MX.
He started his career as a substitute for Necaxa in 1999, but rose to prominence playing with UANL Tigres, where he reached the final. From Tigres, he was transferred to CA Osasuna of Pamplona in La Liga, but saw little action and was returned to Tigres. He has also played with Querétaro FC and Chiapas, where Salvador Cabañas and he formed a dominant forward offense in the 2000s. He then moved to CF Monterrey where he played for two years.
In December 2008, Ochoa was loaned to Club Deportivo Guadalajara on a one-year deal with an option for sale.
Ochoa stated that he would be honored to end his career with the Guadalajara jersey. He also said he had wanted for years to play for Chivas, but since they never made an offer, he stayed with Monterrey. During the Interliga 2009, Ochoa scored four goals in three games for Chivas. In the final he scored an own goal but Chivas still won the Interliga Championship.
In his Clausura 2009 debut, he scored 2 goals against Cruz Azul, which ended in a 3-3 draw. Due to poor performance, though, Ochoa was sent to CD Tapatio, the Chivas second-division affiliate. When new head coach Paco Ramirez took rein of Chivas, Ochoa was called back up to the first team.
