THE QUICK READ
M.C.I. Foods runs a frozen Mexican food plant in Santa Fe Springs, California, turning out burritos, enchiladas, tamales, and over 120 other products under the Los Cabos brand for schools, restaurants, and food-service buyers across the country. The operation started in 1957 as Margaret's Commissary, a small outfit making sandwiches, pizzas, and burritos for Southern California convenience stores and neighborhood bars, and has stayed in the same families for four generations. Today the USDA-inspected facility handles meat and poultry processing with SQF certification and added a dedicated tamale production line in 2023. About 100 people work the plant, running automated folding lines that keep frozen product moving to cold storage.
