El Mexicano is the flagship brand of Marquez Brothers International, founded in 1981 in San Jose, California, and best known for the fresh Mexican cheeses it began by peddling to local stores. Its canned line extends the pantry to sardines in tomato sauce, the everyday Mexican preparation, rather than a specialist tin.
