In 2009, Suárez joined Olmedo. He played regularly for the team as an attacking midfielder and set his teammates up to score goals. He finished the season with 10 impressive goals which made Olmedo take their option to buy him permanently.

In 2010, Suárez was loaned to El Nacional. He started the season as first choice striker where he didn't disappoint and became one of the league's top scorers. He ended the season with 12 goals.

In 2015, Suárez joined Atlas.

Club Necaxa

On December 14, 2010, Christian Suárez completed his transfer to Necaxa of Mexico, same club where legendary Ecuadorian midfielder, Alex Aguinaga, played. He scored his first goals coming in a game against Toluca in which he scored twice to give Necaxa a 2–3 victory. Santos Laguna

Santos Laguna

In May 2011, Suárez joined Santos Laguna of the Primera División Mexicana after Necaxa was relegated. Suárez occupied the extracomunitary player placer left by his compatriot Christian Benítez, who joined Club América. Suarez reached the Apertura 2011 League Final but came in second place to Tigres. After scoring 5 goals in the 2011–12 CONCACAF Champions League, Suarez again lost the final, this time to Club de Futbol Monterrey. After reaching his third final in Mexican football, Suarez won his first title with Santos Laguna, winning the Apertura 2012, against Monterrey.
