Our Story

Locally Family Owned & Operated Since 1999

Locally Family Owned & Operated Since 1999
In 1999, the Mendoza family embarked on a venture into the restaurant business, bringing a cherished dream to life that deeply reflects Mexican culture and their family's culinary heritage. "El Salto," translating to "The Jump," symbolizes this venture, complemented by a logo inspired by the Serpent Mastic, paying homage to Aztec and Mayan traditions. Rooted in La Piedad, Michoacán, their authentic family recipes form the cornerstone of this beloved local establishment.
