Our story

From a City View Street favorite to your fridge.

Nacho's opened at 1190 City View Street in Eugene in 1977. For more than three decades, people came back for the same thing: the fresh salsas and the house dressing on every table.

Owner Cary Drinkwater had been eating at Nacho's for years before he bought the place. He came from Taco Time International, where he worked in purchasing and in research and development, and he always had an eye on salsas and sauces. Bottling the restaurant's recipes for grocery stores was part of his plan from the start.

The restaurant closed its doors in 2013 so the family could focus on retail. The recipes didn't change. We still make them fresh in Eugene, and now you can find them across Oregon.
