Our Story

Say Hello to Daniel Garcia, Founder and CEO of Salsa Catering & Special Events.
Danny Garcia was born in East Harlem and raised in the South Bronx. After a law clerkship and a stint at a family-owned catering company, he found his real calling — and in 1990, at 28, took a leap of faith and started Salsa.
"100% customer and guest satisfaction, in an environment of trust, comfort, and excellence."
Today, Danny and his team have catered for Fortune 500 companies, including Fox Corporation and Goldman Sachs, the Mayor of New York City at Gracie Mansion, and cultural institutions like El Museo del Barrio.
Trusted by Fortune 500s, local agencies, small businesses, and New York families.
What Clients say
Your Satisfaction, Our Priority
36 years of events, in their words
Happy Client: Eddie Beltran
This business is extraordinary. Their professionalism, service, promptness, rates, and food quality are second to none! I’ve been using Salsa for over twenty years… for more than twenty events, and not once have they disappointed.
Happy Client: Kimberly Roa Tejera
Thanks again for everything you did on Friday to ensure a successful event! The food was FANTASTIC and the presentation of everything was done so beautifully. You transformed a classroom into a banquet hall, which is no easy feat. We look forward to future collaborations.
Happy Client: Amanda Gonin
I wanted to thank you again for an amazing event last night! Our guests were thrilled, and everything was truly wonderful. From the planning, to the set-up, decor and of course the food, working with you and your team was a true pleasure. I can’t wait till we can work together again.
