"Our Grandmother taught us and New Mexico to love New Mexican Food," said the El Pinto Salsa Twins.

Chris Morrow note: If you are wondering how to buy green chile salsa - Check out the salsa section of your grocery store or you can order online directly from the El Pinto Restaurant and Salsa Company.

A love affair with food and engineering from the age of 3, the Salsa Twins (Jim & John Thomas) turned a Albuquerque, New Mexico destination restaurant into a nationwide sensation bottling their red and green chile salsa called El Pinto Salsa.

"New Mexican cuisine is humble cuisine using basic ingredients. What makes El Pinto particularly unique is that we still serve the traditional recipes of our grandmother, Josephine Chavez Griggs. Our goal is to ensure the salsa, green chile, and red chile is made to perfection like our grandmother would expect."  Jim Thomas
