We are a family owned company driven by the vision of our owner, Helen Hansen.  Our story begins in 1969 when Helen purchased a corn tortilla line after a chance encounter with a grocer looking to sell some equipment.  Unsure of where this new path would take her, Helen kept her clerical job with a grain company and used her off hours to develop the newly formed La Tapatia Tortilleria.  The original recipes for corn and flour tortillas proved successful. 

​

Our goal of producing the freshest tasting corn and flour tortillas, using local ingredients has remained unchanged since day one.  We now have over 170 employees whom we consider part of the "La Tapatia Family" and produce a full line of tortilla products.
