There’s NO Mexican American! Either you were born here then you’re American born in Mexico then you’re Mexican. Having ancestors/ mom/dad etc from Mexico then you are CHICANO my friend!!!!!
I used to work for El Mexicano. They fired me over a long route I told them was going to take long. I stopped buying their products over that. Now, I will buy Cacique.
proof that the amount of taxes and regulations California is imposing on businesses is hurting them rather than help. That is why so many are moving out of state. Hear when he talked about his employees finally being able to own a house; chances are that dream would've never happened had they chose to stay in California where even renting is a struggle.
Businesses in california come and leave. What makes california different is they lead the country in inovation. Inovation is key to the success of the country. Tesla had to bring back their engineering back to california. Since you have listening comprehension problems cacique moved becuase logistically it made sense texas has the dairy farms. As far as homes go texas has cheaper homes but a lot higher property taxes than california. California is expensive as far as homes but people are still buying. California still has a stronger gdp than texas. Like I said texas does provide the same quility of work force that califiornia is producing with the tech and science industry.
@@felipenunez2058 California has a deficit of nearly $100 billion, out of control crime, the highest gas prices in the nation, and a lot of those innovators have left the state. Despite your desperate attempt to defend California, there is no defense. It's a state with the most beautiful climate and natural environment, and the worst political and economic culture, and it's a shame.
I worked for Cacique when they announced the expansion and told everyone lies. They promised that the City of Industry plant wouldn’t close and that this was just to reach more customers Globally. As for all their employees buying homes that’s great but when I looked for homes in that area it wasn’t what you think. Long drives and living in the middle of nowhere. People do the same here already in California.
@@Frodojack out of control crime where you hear that from fox news cause Texas has higher crime per capita then california. California still leads innovation they have talent compare to all the other states. Texas is thriving becuase of California. Didn't tesla open up their engineering department Back in california and the reason was becuase Texas can't provide the talent that california can provide. Now cacique is going to Texas thank california again.
A Cuban told me they have no style of food in Cuba, when they came to the states, they started borrowing from everyone else. So this justifies his claim.
I am sure that the work comp costs had something to do with the move. CA laws are very liberal in favor of the worker. Texas laws allow certain companies to not have insurance. Good luck workers if you get injured.
Wow! Mr Gil....I must say how freaking proud of your Daddy, ur mama and family they've made u what you all are! ❤😢😢😢😢 Sorri for ur hardships but if ur Daddy wouldn't have start small and the door to door selling was the foundation of ur Start! Give ur daddy nd momma un besito on their forehead Dios los Bendiga grandemente......Keep growing....
I grew up eating this cheese, I still eat it today. I have noticed that it has gotten a little smaller than it used to be and inflation has increased its price. But nothing beats the flavor and I’ve tried other brands but always go back to Cacique products ❤❤
My sister worked for them before they moved. She was offered a job in the new Texas plant. She couldnt move for low wages! Then when it came time to close the plant, she got a 2 day notice. She got a severance package, but I dunno. Left a bad taste in my mouth
in California my mom would get this until more mexicans stores started popping up, like Cardenas after that we would buy mexican sour cream and stopped using cacique sour cream.
What an inspiring story. No matter the nationality, they saw an opportunity and seized it. Just by watching this interview with the CEO/Owner, I can see why they have been so successful.
A lot of Cubans that fled in the 60s in the had money. I have a friend who told me his family had to flee and brought 200k in cash with them. He tried to tell me his family was poor but I explained that was rich for that time. Definitely not the same experience for other immigrants since Cubans were granted immediate citizenship.
Cacique makes money hand over fist. They did so in California. This move was all about profits. Who wants to bet that Amarillo gave them tax breaks to move there
Super smart move TX is much more business friendly than CA. Back in the day CA was before it became a 💩 show. Toyota North America hq. , AT&T , Exxon Mobile , HP , Tesla , and Oracle to name a few have left too
Great story, I’m Mexican American and I appreciate a good meal, doesn’t matter where, or who it comes from.. I am also happy for all the people that bought homes.
They have gained a reputation of selling quality tast stuff even with the intense limitations that cone with residing in California. Ithey got huge while in hard mode in cali, now they will boom, theyre gono get cheap fleets of trucks and control their own dairy supply,
California Mexican food and Texas Mexican are not the same either. California has that Oaxaca cheese, Baja/Sinaloan fish, Pacific coast legacy and the Manila galleon that connected Acapulco with the Philippines. That's why there are Mexican music genres like the chilena from Chileans stopping in Oaxaca on their way to the California Gold Rush and why the creation of mezcal is also thanks to Filipinos.
What I’m curious about is they go from having nothing to the Dad just having money to fix up a whole warehouse? What happened in the US before the warehouse?
❤❤❤❤ he such a humble man and never forget the hardships his parents sacrifice for the family … anyway i love this on my taco ❤️ n others Mexican foods
Why viva Cuba? His family left, realized they couldn’t survive there. It wasn’t until 2013 that Cuban government allowed people to leave the island. Before that it was a prison.
@@DFreshD Because that's how I feel. You don't decide how I feel. You choose for yourself not the world. Educate yourself. Don't just believe propaganda. 😎🎭✌️
The word cacique was meant for the high indigenous chiefs from Florida and Caribbean islands when the Spanish first landed in the Americas and dairy products is not inducive to Mexican culture or just the word cacique. Why does it matter if they are Cuban? Yes my family is from centro America
Mexicans making all our all our Latin great here in the USA U latino ur considere mex even do Dix ppl are ignorent to the fact that other speaking Spanish are not Mexican let's all thrive together
Primero Dios ✝️🙏✝️ that’s awesome offered his previous employees an opportunity to move and purchase their own homes! Wow 😮 that’s Amazing...most companies lay you off!! God Bless him and the company with more! I’ve been purchasing Cacique Queso Fresco for many years, I just wish he would have told us how it is that they came up with the name brand.
And gas prices!! I'm from California and went to Texas last month and omg everything is so much cheaper and people actually have money to make a living!! It's insane.

I always thought the brand was mexican. What a great story.
I think a lot of people thought that because it is mexican style.
Wait till they know it’s Cuban they should buy El Mexicano brand
@@81hermoso..... your blood breaks of hate. 🤢
It is, bud. Their entire line up is Mexican. Nothing wrong with a Cuban brining it to market. The man knows his stuff.
@@81hermosoyes sir, Cubans don’t support our causes.
I appreciate how humble he is and that he understands and appreciates the sacrifices his parents made for their family.
I still remember the Cacique commercials with Vicente Fernandez .
"Con cacique, le falta? Le faltaba!"
You know vicente in Mexico wasn't consuming it they have local more natural products
As a Mexican American this a staple in our food even for the American wife she recognizes how yummy their cheese is.
There’s NO Mexican American! Either you were born here then you’re American born in Mexico then you’re Mexican. Having ancestors/ mom/dad etc from Mexico then you are CHICANO my friend!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Mexican/American"
That's an Oxymoron
Mexicans ARE
Americans!
This also had to do with California over-regulation and high taxes for individuals and businesses.
You can’t say that or they will edit it out before airing it. Anything that makes democrats look bad cannot be air.

I live not too far from San Jose Ca. Where there is a El Mexicano plant. I've heard of this place Not treating employees well.
Is mexicano and marquez brothers the same company? They by Hellyer

What a story! I am in awe of this family, I have always love their products and will continue to support them. ❤
I think they grew and became big in Southern California because everyone thought it was a Mexican company.
They grew because they produce a good product
good marketing
No, the products speak for themselves👍
I love this mans story, it brought a tear to my eye. Wishing him alot of success.
Had no idea they were Cuban. I get why it started as Mexican in California, but why no Cuban products?
A Cuban told me they have no style of food in Cuba, when they came to the states, they started borrowing from everyone else. So this justifies his claim.
Maybe because of all the evil communism Castro stuff going on at the time?
These are the stories I like to see. People who overcome adversity.
no one wants to stay here in Commifornia....I cant wait to leave and a Cuban making mexican food is kind of funny...
cheese is not mexican
T@hardys1977 There are so many types of cheese. Nobody claimed cheese is entirely mexican.😂
I did. Best decision ever
@@hardys1977you are ignorant about cheese. I'm mean super ignorant about good countries have different types of cheeses. Siéntate.
You didn't watch the video as to why he moved the company. Get out of the echo chamber.
I didn't know there were Cubans, but I do member the recall back in the days when they had a small warehouse.... time flies..
Their ranchero cheese is my mom's favorite
so basically cubans selling Mexican Food
It’s cheese and sour cream. It can be italian food or American food too.
why is that a bad thing? no one has the right to claim cheese.
@@thedrunkweddingphotographerI just cheesed myself
@@dannyn.3539mexican style cheese
I'm 100% Mexican from Sonora, and these products are excellent.
My whole childhood was a lie! Never knew they were Cuban. Bummer.
That’s interesting. Excited for your company! God’s blessings on your company , your family, and your employees!!!!!
Never knew it was cuban. God bless you and keep God in your life first. You will be blessed even more
Wow. I’ve always loved Cacique. Success
Great products! Welcome to Texas!
Thank you Cacique!! Gracias por la rica comida que traes a mi casa ❤ San Antonio Texas 😋
More reason to buy cacique
Can't go wrong with crema on your tacos or tostadas, Great Product. Whether it's Cuban or Mexican good Latino food.
Lac of information says they are not telling the full story ...
I am sure that the work comp costs had something to do with the move. CA laws are very liberal in favor of the worker. Texas laws allow certain companies to not have insurance. Good luck workers if you get injured.
That is absolutely the best Mexican style fresh crema by the way.. my fav
Nah El Mexicano brand is far superior
@@81hermoso👎 your delusional.
Los Altos crema is far better the taste is like freshly made at the farm.
Lala and Alpura are the best fresh crema, no questions asked.

Love this brand queso fresco especially
The mexican food boom came at the right time
Its nice to see the owner of a company ive seen in the stores.
Mexico actually has chain stores of its own like Chedraui and Soriana. Chedraui now has a headquarters in California and Texas too.
This is a moving and uplifting story. 🇺🇸
No more Cacique in my fridge.
What a great man, and a great brand.
Wow… what a great story… I never thought the owners were Cubans, I always thought it was Mexican owned… God bless Cacique products… 🙏

Cubans selling Mexican products
Lies, he did it for cheaper labor and/or taxes
why is that bad thing?
And that equals cheaper quesos for you. You’re welcome
Even with cheaper labor like you say, his employer were able to afford a home.
You must be a government agent from California,,, easily spotted.
And maybe because the price of electric bills has doubled in So cal....
Poor thing, they were looking for qualified upper management candidates, and their HR keeps good candidates afar! Strange times we live in!!
