Products include New Mexico flame roasted fresh frozen green chile, red chile, tortillas, salsas, and a line of ready-to-serve prepared products such as tamales and enchiladas.

Going Green for Generations
Bueno Foods strives to minimize its impact on the environment. One example: chile peels and seeds are given to local companies that make compost. Learn more.
Keep it Local!
Bueno Foods buys 100% of its green chile from New Mexico farmers. Help keep the New Mexico chile tradition growing by asking restaurants if they are using New Mexico grown chile in their recipes. Look for symbols on packaging and in restaurants that guarantee New Mexico grown chile.
