Nuevo Garcia Foods Acquires Texas Tamale Company

Mission Consumer Capital ("Mission") today announced that its portfolio company, Nuevo Garcia Foods, LLC ("Garcia"), has completed the acquisition of Texas Tamale Company ("Texas Tamale"), a Houston-based maker of handmade tamales and Mexican specialty foods.

The deal pairs Texas Tamale's premium, retail tamale business with Garcia's six-decade manufacturing platform and its iconic Andy Garcia brand. Garcia, based in San Antonio, produces value-added proteins such as barbacoa and chorizo alongside tamales and other Hispanic staples sold across grocery and foodservice channels.

"Texas Tamale is a natural fit with everything we're building at Garcia. Their reputation for quality and a loyal, growing customer base give us another strong brand to scale nationally." — Travis Berger, CEO of Garcia

The acquisition expands Nuevo Garcia's product portfolio and distribution reach as it pursues its goal of becoming a market leader in authentic Hispanic foods across retail and restaurant channels nationwide.
