Bringing families together for a delicious celebration. Premium tortillas delivering homemade taste.
Founded in 2005, our company is built on the heritage and values of its founder, Cathy Cruz Gooch, a third-generation Mexican American whose grandparents immigrated to the United States in the early 1900s. Cruz Gooch started her entrepreneurial journey in 1985 when she launched Cruz Mexican Foods. Partnering with her husband, Harold, and her parents, she drew on her culinary background to create tortillas, burritos and tortilla chips for Minnesota retail stores and restaurants. By 1989, the company had expanded into 23 states.
A year later the company sold the Cruz brand and retail business to a public company. In 1993, Cathy Cruz Gooch launched Catalina Specialty Foods, and began building a successful foodservice tortilla brand. In 1997, the company was certified as a woman-owned minority business. In 2005, Catalina Specialty Foods formed a strategic alliance with Cargill Kitchen Solutions to invest in a tortilla manufacturing operation: Catallia Mexican Foods. This strategic partnership allows us to better meet customers’ exact product specifications, and gives customers access to Cargill’s world-class risk management, culinary and product development resources.
We strive to exceed expectations in all that we do and serve as a role model for the minority and civic communities as an employer, business partner and neighbor.
