Sabor Mexicano

Sabor Mexicano is a small-batch, artisan Mexican food brand founded by Jorge Saldana and based in Guerneville, California. The company produces handcrafted, authentic Mexican food products using family recipes and traditional methods passed down through generations. Every product is developed and refined starting in founder Jorge Saldana's home kitchen, reflecting a deep commitment to whole-food ingredients, minimal processing, and authentic flavor profiles rooted in Mexican culinary heritage.

The company's flagship product line is its Home Made Tortilla Chips, produced through the ancient nixtamalization process. Whole corn kernels are cooked overnight in water and limestone, then ground using hand-carved volcanic stones and adjusted by hand to achieve ideal texture and consistency. The resulting masa is formed into tortillas, baked, and fried into crispy chips before being seasoned with sea salt. Each bag is labeled and boxed by hand. Chip varieties include Original Tortilla Chips, Blue Corn Tortilla Chips (made with organic blue corn), Thick Tortilla Chips, and Unsalted Tortilla Chips. All chips are naturally gluten-free, non-GMO certified, kosher, and free from preservatives and artificial flavors.

Sabor Mexicano also produces a line of Home Made Salsas, fire-roasted and crafted entirely by hand using fresh, carefully sourced ingredients. Salsa varieties include Chunky Salsa, Salsa Verde, Garlic Salsa, and Salsa Infierno. All salsas are free from preservatives, vinegar, and added sugar, and are classified as gluten-free and vegan. The salsa line is produced in partnership with a woman-owned business based in Mexico City, which employs elderly individuals and women with disabilities.

Additional product lines include a Plant-Based Queso that is vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and made without preservatives, continuing the brand's emphasis on clean-label, plant-forward formulations.

Across all product categories, Sabor Mexicano emphasizes non-GMO ingredients, absence of artificial flavors and preservatives, traditional handmade processes, and clean ingredient labels with minimal components. The brand currently sells through retail channels rather than direct-to-consumer online sales. Its target market includes health-conscious consumers seeking authentic, minimally processed Mexican food products with transparent ingredient sourcing.
