Our Story

Is a family-owned business established in 1993 by Lucy Santiago, Carlos Perez and their son Jose Luis Rodriguez, thanks to their love for Mexican food and the amazing flavors of Lucy’s authentic, homemade recipes.

Now they’re currently focused on growing the business and improving customer’s experience to share with all Spring Valley and beyond, the incredible flavors of their authentic Mexican cuisine’s family recipes.
