Our Family's Story
In 2013, the Graciano family planted the seeds of a dream in San Diego. What started as a shared passion for bold, authentic flavors around their own kitchen table grew into the beloved local brand known today as Mister G's Salsa.
The heart and soul of our operation has always been John Graciano, affectionately known to all as "Mister G." His lifelong dedication to perfecting salsa recipes—balancing heat, freshness, and depth of flavor—turned a family hobby into a thriving business.
From our humble beginnings, we've remained steadfast in our commitment to the values that started it all: using only the freshest ingredients, crafting each batch with care, and sharing the vibrant taste of our heritage with our community.
Today, we continue to operate from our home at 8680 Miralani Dr, Ste 133, San Diego, CA 92126, where every jar of salsa is still made with the same personal touch and family pride that Mister G himself brings to the kitchen.
Our Core Values
- Family First: Every decision is made with our family and community in mind.
- Authentic Quality: We never compromise on ingredients or our traditional methods.
- San Diego Pride: We are proud to be a local, family-owned business serving our neighbors.
