Best Dried Peppers Around

We make tacos all the time and its so relieving to actually be able to buy whole dried peppers and in such a great variety. We use the anchos, guajillos, arbols, and moritas to make an amazing pepper base for birria that is just to die for. It wouldn't be possible without this company.

Very Nice Chiles, High Qualitly

I ordered a few varieties of chiles, ancho being one. I was impressed with the freshness- just as good as when I dry my own. I made fresh chorizo and the taste was amazing. I will definitely order again.
