There really is an Arturo. Arturo Montoya arrived in Hawai'i more than forty years ago, armed with a Velzy longboard and an incurable longing for his family's 500-year tradition of mouthwatering Mexican recipes. But on his first trip to a local grocery store, the only Mexican food he found was a collection of pasty tortillas languishing in the frozen food section next to slabs of New Zealand beef.

To someone with a 400-year tradition of Mexican-style cooking, those tortillas seemed more given to construction than to cooking. Art found himself dependent on the kindness of friends and family on the mainland to satisfy his craving for genuine Mexican flavors.

After years of mourning the times between the periodic care baskets, Art and his partner, Carole Richelieu, took matters into their own hands and began creating authentic Mexican foods right here in the islands. Local folks still remember our Kaka'ako area Tortilla Factory with the Tacqueria in front, featuring a variety of hugely popular recipes. In 1995 along came Steve Geimer and all the delicious hot sauces came into being. Steve Geimer is the general manager.
