Specialties
The Tasting Room Café specializes in showcasing the specialty herbs and spices that we pack and sell directly from our flagship company, La India Packing Company, Inc. We offer mesquite grilled fare, daily soup selection, herbal teas, as well as light and tasty desserts.
History
Established in 1924.
La India Packing Co. was established in 1924 by Antonio and Antonia Rodriguez. Later operated by their children and now their grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Antonio first started in business when he would go to an Indian lady in Lampazos Mexico, where he was from, to get medicinal herbs for soldiers on both sides of the river, depending on their ailment. Later he opened a General Store and then decided to specialize in spices, herbs, seasonings and Mexican Chocolate.
Today we conduct herb work shops and cooking workshops, called Frontera Fusion, the FIRST Friday of every month. Initially created by the Texas Historical Tourism committee, to preserve and expand our Hispanic culture and legacy.
