mexgrocer.co.uk Backgrounder

mexgrocer.co.uk is an online supplier of authentic Mexican groceries and ingredients. The company specialises in selling and distributing Mexican food products not generally available in most UK and European supermarkets. Food supplied by mexgrocer.co.uk is imported directly from Mexico and shipped in the company’s own containers. At its warehouse just north of London, customer orders are turned around in just 24 hours.

The company was founded in 2006. Sol Flamberg and his wife, Monica Anaya Garcia, saw a gap in the market for bona fide Mexican ingredients. After three years, Sol handed the reins of mexgrocer.co.uk to Katya Torres De La Rocha, who has steered the company to its current success.

Katya previously ran a consultancy company and a restaurant in Mexico. Soon after leaving Mexico she started restaurants in London and Madrid. Katya understands that Mexican restaurants in the UK and Europe thrive on using genuine authentic Mexican ingredients and products.

Since taking over mexgrocer.co.uk, Katya has successfully developed the company’s profile and has built a loyal and growing customer base. As the business has grown she has been able to invest in new product lines and a new warehouse and distribution centre.
