In 1917, the Mountain Pass Canning Company in New Mexico was bought from a local in El Paso, Texas.

The Old El Paso company originally started by selling canned tomatoes and pinto beans.

Also in the '70s, Old El Paso introduced a taco dinner globally, where many international markets were unfamiliar with Mexican cuisine.

The product line features frozen ready-made burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, and fajitas.

In 2019, Old El Paso introduced a new shredded cheese line in partnership with Crystal Farms Dairy Company.
