Jul 7, 2025 | News Updates

Planning a party and want to spice things up? There’s no better way to celebrate than with a vibrant, flavor-packed Mexican fiesta—and Salena’s Mexican Restaurant in Rochester, NY is here to help you make it unforgettable.

Whether you’re hosting a birthday bash, graduation party, corporate event, or just a summer get-together, our catering brings bold flavors, festive vibes, and no-stress setup right to your door.

🌟 Step 1: Set the Mood

Start by creating a festive atmosphere. Think colorful papel picado banners, bright tablecloths, and Latin-inspired playlists to set the tone. Add in some cactus centerpieces or chili pepper string lights and you’re on your way to a fiesta-worthy scene.

Pro Tip: Ask about our customizable catering displays—we can help you match the look of your party! Want to save some money? Dollar Tree and Amazon are your friends.


🌮 Step 2: Build the Perfect Menu

This is where we shine. Salena’s catering menu is designed to feed a crowd and wow them with every bite. Here are some fiesta favorites:

  • Taco Bars: Everyone loves a build-your-own taco bar! Includes your choice of proteins (like carnitas, grilled chicken, or black bean sweet potato), fresh toppings, tortillas, and salsas.
  • Chips & Dips Galore: Housemade guacamole, queso blanco, and our signature salsas are a must for snacking.
  • Enchiladas & Fajitas: Want a warm entrée option? Our enchiladas and sizzling fajitas are always a crowd-pleaser.

We offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options—just let us know! Plus, we are a nut free kitchen!


🍹 Step 3: Add a Splash of Tequila

What’s a fiesta without tequila? Ask about our tequila tastings or margaritas to add an interactive element to your event. We can even connect you with local bartenders who know their way around a shaker.
