Old El Paso is a globally recognized brand specializing in Mexican-style food products. Founded in 1938 in the United States, it began as part of the Mountain Pass Canning Company in New Mexico. The brand has since become synonymous with home-cooked Tex-Mex meals, ranging from taco shells and seasonings to the soft tortillas depicted in the image.
Today, Old El Paso is owned by General Mills, a major American multinational consumer foods manufacturer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. While the brand has American roots, its manufacturing footprint is global to serve international markets efficiently. Products sold in Europe and other regions are often produced in regional facilities, such as the General Mills plant in San Adrian, Spain, or other local manufacturing sites, while North American supplies are largely produced in the United States.
As of 2026, General Mills continues its stewardship of the brand, maintaining its position as a market leader in the Mexican food category. The product shown, '8 Medium Tortillas - Original Super Soft & Flexible,' is a staple of their portfolio, designed for convenience and versatility in domestic kitchens worldwide.
