Red Eagle Brand Tortillas

Family owned and operated since 1954

Red Eagle Brand Tortillas started in 1954 by husband and wife team, Lucy and Serapio Terrones. It was one of the first mass production tortillerias in Arizona, and it is currently still one of the biggest names in the Arizona market.

Red Eagle delivers the freshest tortilla products by making deliveries daily to grocers across the state (for instance, Food City, Fry's, Bashas, Albertson's, etc). Its reputation for freshness and "no preservatives" policy is what has kept the tortilla factory competitive throughout the decades. As owner/president Lucy Terrones ("the Tortilla Queen") claims, "I wanted a product that I was happy with, that I knew tastes good and was good for you as well."

Because Red Eagle does not add preservatives, the most common complaint about the product is the shorter shelf life. Red Eagle brand products should always be kept refrigerated after purchase. However, it is this policy of fresh and frequent deliveries without preservatives that ensures the homemade taste Red Eagle Brand fans enjoy.

Red Eagle holds strong that it will never add additives to maintain a longer shelf life.
