Our Family’s Legacy of Authentic Mexican Cuisine
The Becerra Family settled in San Diego from Mexico in 1900, making me a proud fourth-generation San Diegan. While many see San Diego as just a tourist destination, for my family, it has always been home.
THE BECERRA FAMILY, LOGAN HEIGHTS, CIRCA 1938
In the early 1950s, my great-grandmother ran a small restaurant near Hillcrest called “El Prado,” where locals and visitors alike lined up for hours to enjoy her unique blend of Tex-Mex, Durango, and Sonora cuisines. At the same time, my mother’s family, the Garcias, were managing a ranch called Buena Vista in Baja Mexico. My great-grandfather famously claimed that Rancho Buena Vista had “more fish than anywhere else in the world,” and he partnered with two others to establish one of the first sports-fishing resorts in Baja. Because of my late grandfather’s deep love for Baja and his pioneering spirit, I have dedicated our entire seafood menu in his honor.
Cooking runs through my veins. For over a century, my family has prepared traditional Mexican dishes here in San Diego. After years of learning from my grandparents, parents, and extended family, I’m excited to share the passion and heart we put into our food with you. At Salud Catering, every dish is crafted with corazón and authentic Mexican soul.

Tacos are a universal favorite—there’s nothing quite like a warm tortilla filled with juicy meat, topped with chopped onions, cilantro, guacamole, a squeeze of lime, and a dash of spicy salsa. But I wanted to go beyond the typical street taco experience. My vision was to become “The King of ALL types of TACOS.” That’s why our menu features not only classic Tijuana-style street tacos but also Baja-style and, influenced by my Chicano heritage, the beloved Tacos Dorados—crispy fried shell tacos that were my childhood favorite thanks to my parents. This variety sets us apart from other taco vendors and catering services, offering a broader range of delicious options.
We guarantee to impress your guests with our made-to-order tacos, exceptional salsas, and mouthwatering side dishes. Contact us today and experience the unforgettable taste of Salud Tacos!
”They catered my work lunch for 220 people, and people raved about the food. The package is very reasonable. With a basic package, tax, service fee, and the add on of a veggie option, it came out to about $20 per person.
We had a ton of leftovers too, and they package it up for us. The chicken was surprisingly so good--smokey and juicy. The rice was flavorful and delicious. My only complaint is that they didn't replenish chips and salsa fast enough. We ended up with a ton of chips in the end, which would have been nice if they replenished it during lunch time.
The servers were friendly. And they were easy to communicate with via email when planning. They called me the day before to review all the details, which was very nice.
I would definitely order with them again.
