Bueno Foods

Welcome to Bueno Foods
Bueno Foods (El Encanto, Inc.) is a successful family-owned New Mexican food company located in Albuquerque, New Mexico since 1951. We have grown from a small family-owned grocery store into the SouthwestÔÇÖs premier producer of New Mexican and Mexican style foods, still owned and operated by the Baca family.
We manufacture, prepare, and distribute more than 150 authentic, gourmet-quality food products to restaurant and retail customers throughout the United States. Products include New Mexico flame roasted fresh frozen green chile, red chile, tortillas, salsas, and a line of ready-to-serve prepared products such as tamales and enchiladas. We also specialize in a line of natural and organic products under our BUENATURAL label, including organic non GMO tortillas and vegetarian tamales.

The Baca brothers were the first to flame roast green chile on a commercial scale. There was no equipment for this kind of process, so they had to build it. There was no process, so they had to invent it. And so they did, more than 60 years ago.

Second Generation
Baca Management
With a handful of products as their focus, Bueno Foods was born, founded in 1951. So, for over half a century now, Bueno Foods has grown steadily from a small neighborhood grocery store into one of the Southwest's premier producers of New Mexican and Mexican foods, still owned and operated by the Baca family. Consistent quality and service, customer responsiveness, innovation and hard work have resulted in Bueno's steady upward growth and success.
