For this week’s CultureHop, Culture Club Members will be hopping over to Raquelitas Tortillas for a special behind the scenes tour. Raquelitas Tortillas is a staple of Denver’s culinary scene known for its high-quality, locally made tortillas. We will learn about their production process, sustainability efforts, and the rich history behind this family-owned business.  

About the business: We're Colorado’s first, original tortilla factory, rooted in tradition since 1960. We’re committed to sustainability, using 100% wind and solar power, and recycling 95% of our food processing waste. Our tortillas and chips are crafted with locally sourced ingredients, supporting Colorado's farmers and the local economy. From classic options to unique flavors like Pueblo Green Chile, Bison Tallow, and Hibiscus, our products offer a superior taste and texture that elevate any dish. Still family owned and operated, we blend tradition with innovation to bring you the best tortillas and chips you’ll ever taste. We exist, still after 60 years, with only one goal. We don't have any interest at being the biggest tortilla maker - simply the best.
