La Via Chili. No Fat. No Gluten. No Animal Products: Vegan. No Cholesterol.

La Via Green Chili, a product of Espinoza Foods LLC, is a family business started by all Colorado natives with deep ancestry. The secret recipe behind La Via Green Chili was created in Costilla, New Mexico, in an adobe house by Mrs. Espinoza in the early 1900s. The Espinoza family moved to the mining town Columbine, Colorado (Now known as Erie, Colorado) in the 1930s.

Soon after, the Espinoza family opened their first of many restaurants in Colorado called Benito’s, named after Mrs. Espinoza’s son, Ben.  After many successful years, Benitos closed their doors in 1995. And now, Mrs. Espinoza’s secret recipe is available in stores under the name La Via Chili – La Via means “The Way”.
