Report this content

mexgrocer.co.uk has become a supplier of Mexican food to Amazon.co.uk. This latest demonstration of the Mexican food distributor’s ambitious plans for 2014 sees an initial 100 mexgrocer.co.uk products become available to users of Amazon. More will be added in the near future.

Amazon has over 200 million customers worldwide and a constantly-evolving product range comprising millions of lines, from food to furniture and clothing to computers.

Already proving popular among customers of mexgrocer.co.uk’s products on Amazon are the Street Taco Size corn tortillas and the El Yucateco Achiote paste.

mexgrocer.co.uk is an online supplier of authentic Mexican groceries and ingredients, offering products not generally available in UK and European supermarkets. Food supplied by mexgrocer.co.uk is imported from Mexico and shipped in the company’s own packaging from its warehouse just north of London. Orders are dispatched within 24 hours.

Speaking about her company’s latest move, Katya Torres de la Rocha, CEO of mexgrocer.co.uk, said: “To offer a selection of much-loved authentic Mexican ingredients through Amazon is an exciting development for us. Amazon is one of the biggest and most prestigious companies in the world. We are delighted they have recognised how popular Mexican food is becoming.”

mexgrocer.co.uk sells over 500 products, including generic Mexican-brand tortillas, dried chillies, spicy sauces and nopales (cactus leaves) beans. Also available are Jose Cuervo Margarita mix, fresh tamales, Oaxaca cheese, habanero chili sauce and Mexican kitchenware.

In the last year, the British public spent more than £168 million in this sector – considerably more than the amount spent on the traditional British favorite, the curry. With this in mind, mexgrocer.co.uk has begun offering franchise opportunities. The first of these opened this month in Norway.

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.
