Today Azteca® has grown to become a multi-channel business still family-owned by the Velasquez family.
BAJA by Azteca is a brand of tortillas and wraps that are freshly made by Azteca Foods. And Azteca Foods has been making tortillas for over 50 years.
How did it all begin?
Azteca® was founded in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago, the vision of Art Velasquez and nine other Mexican-American businessmen and members of the Azteca Lions Club.
Fueled with a passion to bring traditional, quality Mexican foods to a wider group of consumers outside of their own neighborhood and a dream to positively contribute to the economic development of their community, Velasquez and his business partners in 1970 founded the Azteca Corn Products Corporation.
You can find the BAJA by Azteca brand in your grocers deli or tortilla sections. The Azteca brand can be found only in the refrigerated section.
