From Tradition to Innovation:
Leaders in Mexican Frozen Food Manufacturing
A Legacy Rooted in Authenticity and Quality
For over 50 years, the Velasquez Family has been pioneering the art of crafting authentic Mexican cuisine. Starting with the founding of Azteca Foods Inc. in 1970, we’ve been dedicated to bringing the finest handmade Mexican foods to kitchens worldwide. Along the way, we’ve grown through innovation and acquisition, including Azteca Europe in Spain, until establishing Baja Foods in 2001. Today, Baja Foods continues this proud tradition, combining state-of-the-art manufacturing with rich cultural heritage to deliver exceptional quality in every bite.
