Our Story – Passion on Every Plate
AY AY AY Taqueria LLC was founded in Salem, Oregon, with one mission: to share the rich flavors, aromas, and traditions of Mexican cuisine with the local community. What began as a family passion for cooking and hospitality quickly transformed into a trusted catering service, chosen by individuals, families, and businesses across the region for its authenticity and care.

We believe food is more than just nourishment—it is a bridge between people, a celebration of culture, and a way to create lasting memories. Every dish we prepare carries the spirit of Mexican hospitality, blending time-honored recipes, fresh ingredients, and the vibrant character of our culinary heritage. From casual gatherings to large-scale corporate events, we bring a taste of authenticity with every bite.

Our mission is to create memorable dining experiences for every occasion, no matter the size or style. We combine traditional recipes passed down through generations with modern catering standards that guarantee consistency, professionalism, and excellence. Clients choose us not only for the incredible flavors we serve but also for the personal touch, reliability, and attention to detail that define every event we are part of.
