OUR Company

Una Familia Foods began with a single bold idea — and a single bold man. In 1958, our grandfather launched Spanish Gardens Foods, introducing Kansas City to rich, authentic Mexican flavors long before they were widely available. From his passion, recipes, and relentless drive, a legacy was born.

Today, we are proud to be third-generation owners, continuing his vision through a growing family of brands. From the iconic crunch of Guy’s Snacks and the world-famous flavor of Arthur Bryant’s BBQ, to new favorites like Fancy Sauce, James’ Lemonade, and our other Mexican food brands of Mama Socorro’s, Maria Rae’s and Silvas — our mission has remained the same: Create bold, honest flavor. Keep it rooted in tradition. And share it with the world.

We are Una Familia — one family, many flavors.
