THE COMPANY

In 1960 Luis Moya Sr. came to Los Angeles from Coahuila, Mexico with a dream of bringing authentic tortillas to California. He started a small distribution route and after a few years purchased a tiny tortilleria with only 50 customers. Today, La Chapalita, Inc. is a family owned and operated business serving hundreds of restaurants across Southern California. In November 2003, La Chapalita expanded its operation to include a second manufacturing plant in Los Angeles.

 

“As opposed to using corn flour in our recipe, La Chapalita is one of the very few tortillerias in Los Angeles that cooks corn the traditional way for a more authentic flavor tortilla.” says Luis E Moya Jr., CEO. “We believe in providing our customers with a quality product and impeccable customer service that is second to none.” There is a difference between the tortillas you buy at your local grocery store and the tortillas we make. Our tortillas taste homemade. Sample our products and you’ll taste the difference.

 

En el año de 1960 Luis Moya llego a la ciudad de Los Angeles proveniente de la ciudad de Saltillo Coahuila Mexico con el sueño de traer la autentica tortilla de maiz y harina a California. Comenzo con una pequeña ruta de distribucion. Mas tarde compro una pequeña tortilleria con el nombre de “La Chapalita”. Solamente tenia 50 clientes. Hoy La Chapalita es un negocio familiar sirviendo a cientos de restaurantes en el Sur de California.

 

En Noviembre 2003 La Chapalita expandio sus operaciones incluyendo una segunda planta manufacturera en Los Angeles. “La Chapalita Inc es una de las pocas tortillerias que sigue cocinando el maiz de la manera tradicional para un sabor mas autentico y a requerimiento personal del cliente empleamos la mas alta y refinada harina de maiz”, dice Luis E Moya V.P. de Ventas.

 

Nosotros creemos en proever a nuestros clientes con un producto de primera calidad y un impecable e incomparable servicio de distribucion. Hay una diferencia en la tortilla que usted compra en el supermercado a la tortilla que nosotros hacemos. Nuestra tortilla tiene el sabor de las tortillas hechas en casa. Pruebe nuestra tortilla y usted podra provar la diferencia.

A NICE QUOTE

  • Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.

    PETER DRUCKER

  • It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
