Heritage & History
RW Garcia was founded in 1982 in San Jose, California by a family with roots in traditional corn tortilla making. From the beginning, the company distinguished itself by sourcing higher-quality corn, using stone-grinding rather than metal roller milling, and avoiding the additives and preservatives common in mass-market tortilla chips. The stone-grinding process produces a coarser texture and preserves more of the corn's natural flavor than roller milling.
The brand grew in the natural and organic food channels before relocating manufacturing to Las Vegas, Nevada and expanding to a second facility in Lincolnton, North Carolina. Today RW Garcia is the leading organic tortilla chip brand in the natural foods sector, with a product line that includes yellow corn, blue corn, and BBQ varieties in both organic and conventional formulations.
Made in Nevada and North Carolina
RW Garcia manufactures all tortilla chips at American facilities in Las Vegas, Nevada and Lincolnton, North Carolina. The chips are USDA Organic certified, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Certified Gluten Free — a combination of certifications that requires rigorous supply chain management and testing. The corn used in organic varieties is certified non-GMO and grown to USDA organic standards.
The stone-grinding process that defines RW Garcia chips creates the slightly rustic texture and corn-forward flavor that distinguishes the product from smoother roller-milled chips. Blue corn varieties use whole blue corn and develop a deeper, slightly earthier flavor profile. All chips are made with simple ingredients: organic corn, sunflower oil, and sea salt. No preservatives, artificial flavors, or additives. Made in America from organic American corn.
