Customer Testimonial: Taste Matters -----Original Message----- From: Michelle Brady Sent: Monday, October 17, 2011 3:46 PMTo:wecare@mexamericafoods.comSubject: HELP! Can't locate 6 inch soft Flour TortillasImportance: High We have been using MexAmerica tortillas for years which started with my mother. My mother was Mexican and she turned to your product because it’s the only tortillas that she could find that taste exactly like her mothers. I guess you can say I was raised on your product. Well, I am in the process of making enchiladas and I am having a difficult time in locating 6 inch soft flour tortillas. I live in the Western New York specifically the Buffalo Area. What other locations are your products sold in my area? I looked at Wegmans (Hamburg location) and Market in the Square they appeared to be out of that size. What are my options? Thank you for your time. I’m open to any suggestions that you have to offer. Michelle B.

Our Story Gerry and Sue Riddle founded MexAmerica in 1987 after moving home to Pennsylvania to raise their family. While living out West they gained a love and appreciation for Authentic Mexican food. Longing for this authenticity in the East, they decided to make their own version of Southwest Mexican Tortillas, thus MexAmerica was founded to fill this need. Since the beginning we have dedicated our Company to manufacture the best tasting and highest quality artisan tortillas, wraps and corn chips. This dedication has been recognized by expert panels and consumers alike. MexAmerica enjoys great consumer acceptance and long term customer relationships in its core Northeast US markets. Today the MexAmerica traditions continue under new ownership. The new owners believe in what has made MexAmerica products great and fundamentally believe by investing in the people and infrastructure, the great reputation of MexAmerica will be preserved as the Company grows its business into existing and new geographic markets.
