We are Janeen and Rodrigo Cruz, the husband and wife duo behind Kuali. Janeen is the daughter of Mexican immigrants from El Ejido Hermosillo, Baja California, MX and Rodrigo is an immigrant from México City, MX. Kuali’s story starts in our home kitchen in Oakland, CA.
As two Mexicanos, our daily life revolves around food and salsa. Salsa is life.
Kuali was established in 2020, mid-pandemic, because we refused to settle for the inauthentic salsas in the U.S. market. We are here to introduce an authentic, bold and unapologetic salsa experience. When you taste our salsas you’ll think “esto es México.”
