Salsa Locas

Lucy De Leon remembers traveling to the United States with her parents, Anselmo and Francisca, and her siblings as children. They were an agriculture family, but always dreamed of settling down and owning a business, making and selling their mother Francisca’s delicious, authentic recipes. “Mom has been making tamales and salsa since I can remember,” Lucy says.

After many years of working farm fields, they chose Portland as their home and set out to make their dream come true. Today, you too, can enjoy many Salsas Locas foods, proudly served at your Market Kitchen.
