The story of Salsas Cocina Mexicana begins in the summer of 2010, when the Valencia family from Jalisco—a multigenerational clan with deep roots in traditional Mexican salsas and cocina mexicana—brought their passion for authentic regional flavors to Florida. Their goal was simple: to open a restaurant serving delicious, made-from-scratch Mexican dishes at everyday prices, infused with the warmth and authenticity of Jalisco.
The first Salsas Cocina Mexicana opened its doors in Port Orange, Florida, and quickly became beloved in the community for its scratch-made salsas, sauces, tortillas, and family-style specialties—all prepared using fresh ingredients and time-honored methods.
With strong Jaliscan culinary traditions at its heart, the Valencia family shaped an elevated—but relaxed—courtyard-style dining atmosphere where guests could share meals and celebrate Mexican art, flavor, and culture. The restaurant emphasizes made-from-scratch dishes inspired by family recipes, executed with pride and authenticity.
Today, Salsas Cocina Mexicana continues to grow throughout Florida, staying true to its founding vision: vibrant Jalisco-flavored cuisine, heartfelt hospitality, and a welcoming place where everyone feels like familia.
