About Us
Our Company
Cecilia is my mom. This Red Hot Chile Sauce was born in her kitchen in El Paso. Her specialty was Enchiladas and from there derived Red Hot Chile Sauce. Friday night dinner was always Enchiladas with a side of beans and rice, or as we say, “frijoles refritos con arroz.” She would include a side of lettuce to cool your mouth off from the spice, not just as a garnish.
Our company and dream started when we moved to Southwest Florida. After the move we haven’t found any real Chile Colorado “like mom used to make”, so we decided to make it and gifted it to our friends, family, and coworkers. It was always a big tradition to gift some red chile along with Christmas Tamales. Everyone absolutely loved it! They would always mention how great the Chile Sauce was and when they could get some more. We took it as a sign, and thought why not make this delicious sauce available to everyone.
With that, Cecilia’s Sauces was born.
Our Team
The team is comprised of Family. Amy is married to Jimmie. Tony is Amy’s brother. We all love Mexican food and know how tedious it is to make Red Chile Sauce. We noticed most Mexican Restaurants won’t make REAL enchiladas because the chile takes a lot of time to make. We made a conscious effort to bring forth our mom’s recipe of Red Chile Sauce to share with the masses. Here is a bio about Cecilia’s founders.
