Raquelitas started as a small family bakery in Denver’s Larimer Street in the 1940s, driven by a passion for authentic Mexican food and culture. Decades later, we remain a cornerstone of Colorado’s culinary landscape. From our early days handcrafting tamales and tortillas to today’s array of bold, chef-driven flavors, our journey is rooted in both heritage and relentless innovation. We've stayed true to tradition while constantly pushing the boundaries—elevating the tortilla from a humble staple to a culinary canvas. It's a story of family, perseverance, and a love for Colorado, always evolving but never forgetting where we started.

At Raquelitas, sustainability isn’t a trend; it’s our responsibility. We’re proud to partner with local farmers, ensuring that our ingredients not only taste better but also support Colorado's agricultural economy. Our plant is powered by 100% wind and solar energy, and we go further by recycling everything from food waste to oil, converting it into bio-diesel. Every tortilla carries the promise of a greener future—locally sourced, responsibly crafted, and made with care for the land and community that nourish us. We believe great food shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense.

We've grown alongside the city, becoming a trusted partner for over 2,000 local restaurants. Our ties to Colorado run deep—whether it’s sourcing ingredients from local farms or supporting community events, we’re always striving to make a positive impact. We take enormous pride in sitting on nearly a dozen boards committed to food excellence in Colorado, like the Colorado Restaurant Association and the Chef's Alliance. We aren't just making tortillas, but also helping shape Denver's vibrant food scene. We aren’t just in the community; we are part of it, deeply committed to uplifting the local economy and the people we serve.
