Our Story
The Recipe
Passion for contributing to the country, but above all, honoring Grandmother Dolores.
The Sunday of each week was the sacred day for Doña Lola, or as we liked to call her “Abue”.
At home, love and food were always waiting for the arrival of her grandchildren. As a good Mexican, Abue cooked us everything, especially her mystical corn tortillas.
The recipe for Abue’s tortillas has been in our family for more than 100 years. It is a secret that has only been shared from generation to generation.
At the time, it passed to our mother and then to us, her grandchildren. As a half-Puerto Rican and half-Mexican family, we wanted to share the secret of our family reunions with everyone in the island and eventually around the world.
The most delicious tortillas made with the determination, patience, and love of Doña Lola.
Being Mexicans on the island, we realized that Puerto Ricans needed fresh and healthy Mexican food.
For this reason, armed with the tortilla machine of our Puerto Rican grandfather, we began to make what would be the first production of Tortillas Doña Lola. A few trials later, we managed to get some fresh tortillas, free of preservatives and gluten.
They were delicious!
Lola's Grandchildren
Hello! We are Roberto, Juan, and Daniel, the Rivera-Ramos brothers.
Three children of Puerto Rico and Mexico, with professional experiences in the area of engineering.
Before founding Molcajete Foods LLC, we were part of the Puerto Rican diaspora; and with our hearts set on the idea of contributing to Puerto Rico, we returned to the island to share our grandmother Lola’s recipe.
Hand in hand with our Abue’s secret recipe, we create quality corn tortillas and chips, made with no preservatives and with an authentic flavor.
At Molcajete Foods we believe in making food products using simple and natural ingredients, just like those found in our grandmother Doña Lola’s cupboard. We are a company founded on family principles and values and our main goals are:
- Contribute to the economic development of our community, city, and island.
- Achieve greater and better food sovereignty for our fellow citizens.
- Create good food with quality ingredients.
Join the family!
