About Tapatio
Tapatio Hot Sauce entered the business world in 1971, when Mr. Jose-Luis Saavedra, Sr. started his company. As with most great products, Tapatio’s beginnings were very modest. Still working a daytime job to supplement his income in order to cover business expenses, Mr. Saavedra leased a 750 square foot building located in the city of Maywood, CA. With only the 5 oz. size bottle…
1985
After years of constant growth, Mr. Saavedra realized he needed a bigger warehouse. Tapatio moved into a new 8,500 square foot warehouse less than a mile away. Mr. Saavedra’s three children, now out of college, joined him full time. With a new facility and the additional workforce of his children, the future looked bright for Tapatio Hot Sauce.
1988
Always popular in the Hispanic community, Tapatio Hot Sauce was now crossing over and becoming a staple in American households. With this accelerated growth, there was great demand for a larger size bottle. The 10 oz. bottle was introduced and accompanied by the 5 oz. bottle; gave Tapatio Hot Sauce a formidable “one-two” punch.
1989
With Mr. Saavedra’s continued commitment of providing the highest quality product at the best price to his valued customers, Tapatio continued its rapid growth surpassing most of its competitors. Tapatio’s increased popularity called for the introduction of the quart size (32 oz.) bottle, which became an instant success.
1996
Now a nationwide leader in the hot sauce industry, Tapatio saw record sales. The Saavedra family realized they had outgrown their location and began looking for a larger facility. Unable to find the perfect fit, Mr. Saavedra bought some land and custom built a state-of-the-art, 30,000 square foot facility. Tapatio’s new warehouse allowed Mr. Saavedra to maintain his dream of providing a superior product with excellent customer service at the most competitive price.

2000
After receiving thousands of requests for Tapatio in small packets, the company once again answered the needs of its consumers. The introduction of 7-gram individual packets allowed fast-food restaurants to offer their customers Tapatio Hot Sauce in an individual serving size.
