The opening battle called the Thornton Affair was a Mexican Army victory.

The Siege of Los Angeles of 22 to 30 September 1846 was a Mexican victory.

The Battle of Chino on 26 and 27 September was a Mexican victory.

The Battle of Domingues Rancho was a Mexican victory.

The Battle of San Pasqual was a defeat for General Kearny.

The First Battle of Mora on 24 January 1847 was a New Mexican Militia victory.

The Mexican victories cited above were what can be called a "Hollow Victory" in almost every instance. The Battle of San Pasqual could have been a major disaster in that while small in numbers it did include General Stephen Watts Kearny and his loss to the Mexican Lancers would have been a disaster. They managed to get into San Diego.

The First Battle of Mora had a single US casualty (Captain Israel Hendley) and three wounded, the New Mexicans lost 25 killed and an unknown number of wounded, but the Americans withdrew because you just don't attempt to take a fort without artillery support. A week later they were back with a stronger force including two howitzers, took the fort, burned down the town, burned their crops and took 17 prisoners. The small victory by the New Mexicans was a short lived victory that was turned into a military scorched earth disaster.
