Our story

Born in our catering kitchen

For years, our family has fed San Diego through El Guero 2 catering. At every event, one thing disappeared faster than anything else: the salsa.

People didn't just eat it — they asked for bottles to take home. So we started bottling it.

Small batches, the same recipe, made in the same kitchen that feeds our catering guests.

When you order El Guero 2, you're not buying from a factory. You're getting the salsa San Diego has been asking us to bottle for years.
