Our Story

Authentic family recipes, served from the heart since 1982.

The family and founders of Martita's Lunch Box

From Our Kitchen to Your Heart

In 1982, Marta "Martita" Garcia began with a simple dream: to share the beloved family recipes from her childhood in Chihuahua. What started as a humble lunch counter quickly became an El Paso landmark, celebrated for its rich, authentic flavors and warm, welcoming spirit.

For over four decades, we've remained a family establishment, committed to the principles Martita championed: authentic ingredients, unwavering quality, and a spirit of community.
