Old El Paso is a globally recognized brand specializing in Tex-Mex style foods, including taco shells, tortillas, seasonings, and meal kits like the Stand 'N Stuff Taco Kit visible here. The brand traces its origins back to 1917 with the Mountain Pass Canning Company in New Mexico, USA, and was officially branded as Old El Paso in 1938.

Today, the brand is owned by General Mills, a major American multinational consumer foods manufacturer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. While the brand has deep American roots, its products are manufactured in various locations globally to serve different markets. For instance, products sold in Europe and Australia are often produced in Spain or the Netherlands, while North American products are typically made in the United States and Mexico. The specific distribution and local marketing are handled by subsidiaries of General Mills.
