Sombrerito Foods

Fresh flour, corn, and wheat tortillas emerge from the ovens at Sombrerito Foods on South Highway 50 Business Loop in Olathe, supplying shelves from Montrose to Grand Junction. Locals know the operation by owner Pepe’s nickname, though the business name appears on maps and retail tags. The facility doubles as a retail counter where visitors grab the signature Sombrero, a fried bread shaped like a hat and topped with various choices. This item has become a staple for regulars who drive through Olathe specifically to pick up at least two before heading home. The shop operates Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 8:00 am to 11:00 am. Walk-in customers appreciate the home-style Mexican food and upbeat atmosphere, often noting the smiles from Pepe and his family. Beyond immediate retail sales, the factory distributes tortillas to numerous retailers across the Western Slope. Products reach shelves at Walmart, City Market, and various local markets including Chizzie's Mexican Market, Carniceria Sonoyta, San Jose Panaderia, Vero's Mexican Bakery, and several carnicerias in Montrose, Delta, Grand Junction, Fruita, Parachute, and Rifle. The Olathe location accepts credit cards and provides wheelchair accessible parking for convenience.
