America’s #1 Frozen Mexican Food Company – Premade Mexican Food from Family Recipes Since 1964

At El Monterey, good food always goes hand in hand with family and it has since 1964. Fred Ruiz made his first enchilada with his father, Louis. Like many family businesses, El Monterey started off small. Fred would make the food every day using a small mixer and his mother’s recipes as inspiration. Fred has a little more help these days, but his family’s commitment to authentic Mexican spices, high-quality ingredients, and satisfying family recipes remains unchanged. El Monterey now makes more than just enchiladas. The brand offers burritos, chimichangas, taquitos, tamales, quesadillas, a whole line of breakfast burritos and more! Fred's mother made him promise that he'd always create food he'd be proud to serve his own family – and he's never let her down!
