The team was founded in 1997 and they first appeared in Segunda División de México. They lasted six seasons until they were crowned champions in the Clausura 2003 and eventually won the final for promotion to the Primera Division 'A' against Coras Tepic.

In regulation time the match ended 4–4 in aggregate after the first match held in Coatzacoalcos, the Delfines won 2–1; while in the second match they lost 3–2 to Pumas Naucalpan.

In 2013 another team ended up setting up in the same area with the same name.
