The Culture

Salida has the benefits of a safe, quiet, small town yet with all of the amenities of larger cities nearby. You can stroll along the mom & pop shops and restaurants on oak tree-lined Broadway Avenue or drive just five minutes away to the Costco and Village Faire Mall in Modesto for bigger shopping trips.

Foodies will love the diversity of restaurants in Salida, from the famous chicken fried steak at Salida’s Kountry Kitchen to the boba milk teas and mochi-style donuts at Doughchii to the AMAZING taco trucks on Broadway.

With its small town feel within just a few hours of Yosemite National Park, Lake Tahoe, and the San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge, the tranquility of Salida will lower your blood pressure and make you feel at home.
