We are passionate about recreating authentic Mexican meals, snacks, and desserts into easy to prepare, nutritious, and 100% plant-based products...along with a mission to grow sustainably! You can find our products in several grocery stores across Canada.

Our Co-Founder

Argelio is from Monterrey, México - el Norte! After immigrating to Canada at age 25, all he wanted was to find an authentic North Mexican style flour tortilla like the ones he grew up eating. After realizing this uncooked tortilla style was missing from the Canadian market, a journey into producing them began. The recipe was formulated from traditional family recipes, without lard so it could be plant-based, but still delicous, and without using preservatives or dough conditioners, which are commonly found in flour tortillas.
