Cariocas Tostadas de Maiz

Cariocas is a traditional Mexican brand known for its fried corn snacks, particularly popular in the northern and central regions of Mexico. Originally founded as a local enterprise, the brand established a strong identity with its 'Tostadas' and 'Frituras de Maíz'.

The brand was acquired by Mission Foods (Gruma), a global leader in tortilla and corn flour production. Today, Cariocas products are primarily manufactured in Mexico, utilizing Gruma's extensive industrial network. The brand benefits from Gruma's worldwide distribution capabilities while maintaining the specific regional flavor profiles that made it household name in Mexico.
