She gained notoriety from her popular Dubsmash videos and her portrayal of Yaya Dub in the "Kalyeserye" episode of the noontime reality series Eat Bulaga.

Mendoza appeared in the 2015 movie My Bebe Love: #KiligPaMore, for which she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 41st Metro Manila Film Festival. 
In March 2016, Mendoza took part in Eat Bulaga's drama specials for the Lenten season. She returned to her role as Divina/Yaya Dub in Kaputol ng Buhay and played Dani in God Gave Me You, for which she won the Darling of the Screen award. On April 2, 2016, Eat Bulaga's third EB Dabarkads Awards ceremony also recognized her for most dramatic performance by a lead star.
Mendoza and Richards starred in film Imagine You & Me as lead actors.

Mendoza and Universal Records agreed to a record deal in June 2018.
=== Writing ===
Since 2012, Maine has been writing on her personal blog, the Pessimistic Optimist Bella. In April 2017, she revealed that the blog served as one of her main sources of inspiration while she was writing the book, which she plans to publish in the latter part of the year. She claims that the book, which will center on her personal life, will not use ghostwriters because she will write it herself. Yup, I Am That Girl, her debut autobiography, was published by Summit Media in October 2017 and released on October 26. The title of the book is taken from her Twitter bio, which describes it as "an unfiltered version of her personal blog."
