After that, he formed the group Rikarena, his second project. In the early '90s, the singer/songwriter, producer, and arranger joined Rockabanda, deciding to start his solo career in 1995, recording El Hombre Merengue, getting his song "Cachamba" topping the most important Latin charts.
In 1997, Kinito Méndez made El Decreto, working on Barrio Boyzz' Ven A Mi that same year. In 1998, the popular performer, also known as El Hombre del Merengue, decided to pay tribute to his mentor Johnny Ventura, recording A Caballo, followed by 1999's Su Amigo. 2000's D'Colores featured "Nueva York Pasando Lista," which was inspired by the social reality of Latin Americans living in New York.

The lyrics to Kinito Méndez's song "La pegue" tell the story of a man who has been searching for a woman for so long that he has lost faith in his ability to find one. He explains that he spends his time wandering the streets day and night in search of a woman, but has been unsuccessful until recently. In one night, he finally found the woman he had been searching for and he is overjoyed at his success. He repeats the phrase "no te me sorprendas porque la pegué" throughout the song, which means "don't be surprised because I got lucky."
The song is filled with colorful language and imagery. At one point, the singer refers to himself as a "monument" and his conquest as hiding "under the sheet." He also tells the listener to bet an army that he can make it happen again. The song is a celebration of both luck and sexual prowess, and the singer revels in his own success.
Overall, "La Pegue" is a fun, upbeat song with a catchy melody and memorable lyrics. It tells a relatable story of frustration and eventual triumph in the search for love.
