Tom at Ol' Gringo Chile Co.

Our Ol' Gringo Story

In the summer of 2007, fueled by a fiery passion and a love for all things spicy, our family embarked on a journey that would ignite the world with flavor. With homegrown chilis, I created a recipe for hot sauce that got some immediate attention.

My vision was clear: to craft hot sauces that would tantalize taste buds across the globe. Starting in our own hometown of Mineral Wells, Texas, I meticulously perfected my recipes, infusing each batch with a blend of fresh chilis and exotic spices and a touch of homegrown love. Countless hours were spent experimenting with ingredients, fine-tuning flavors, and sourcing the finest chilies from diverse corners of the world.

As the years rolled by, we expanded beyond local markets, braving the uncharted territory of national trade. It was a leap of faith that led us to collaborate with restaurants, food enthusiasts, and chefs who shared our passion.

But our journey wasn't just about business; it was a path that humbled and blessed us in more ways than one. Through the challenges, we discovered the strength of our unity as a family, working side by side to turn a vision into a reality. We all love connecting with our new customers and loyal customers who embrace our flavors, becoming part of our extended family all across our great country and beyond.

From humble beginnings in 2008, our journey continues to remind us that dreams fueled by passion, perseverance, and a dash of spice can indeed become reality. Our hearts overflow with gratitude for the journey, the growth, and the global family we've gained along the way. We remain grounded, knowing that every bottle of hot sauce carries a piece of our story, a journey that began with a simple vision and flourished into a testament to the power of humble beginnings and unwavering determination. We are blessed in every way.

What a wild ride it’s been and we are all still hanging on with a big West smile. ❤️🌶️❤️

Thanks to all that believed in us ❤️❤️❤️

Much Thanks,
