The team was founded in 2016 with the aim of training professional players from neighboring towns: El Salto and Juanacatlán, Jalisco.[1]

In the 2018–19 season, the team finished in third position of group X with 81 points. So Gorilas managed to qualify for the promotion playoff. On the Round of 32 Gorilas defeated Valle F.C. by 9–1 on the aggregate, however, in the Round of 16 the Juanacatlán team was eliminated by Orgullo Surtam on penalty series after drawing 2–2 in the aggregate.[2]

On May 25, 2025, the team was promoted to the Liga Premier de México after defeating Deportivo Zamora F.C. in the regional semi–finals.[3] The team had finished the regular season in first place in its group and had previously eliminated H2O Purépechas, Deportivo Etchojoa and Irritilas F.C.[4]
