Founded in 2007 as a family business, Capital Food Services has grown through hard work and dedication to become one of the most important Latin American food distributors in Canada. What started as a small family venture has evolved into a comprehensive operation specializing in the import, distribution, and commercialization of high-quality Latin American foods, beverages, and products.
Today, Capital Food Services is positioned as one of the leading distributors in the province of Quebec — home to approximately 27% of all Latin Americans living in Canada. The company offers more than 5,000 products that supply grocery stores, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, and other key players in the food industry, consistently providing the best quality-price ratio to its clients.
In its ongoing pursuit of innovation and quality, the company faced the challenge of high tariffs on well-known brands, which inspired them to create their own product line called “El Rancho.” This strategic move not only ensures more accessible prices but also introduces culinary improvements and innovations that have been warmly received by consumers across Canada.
Recently, El Rancho launched its star product: “Coconut Water,” which has been widely praised for its excellent quality-price ratio and authenticity. By including real coconut pieces in the water, El Rancho has made a notable mark in the market, winning over consumers in tastings and encouraging repeat purchases.
Beyond business, Capital Food Services plays a meaningful cultural role by importing nostalgic products from Latin American countries to Canadian soil. From traditional Colombian coffee to the spicy flavors of Mexican chili, these products are more than ingredients — they are bridges connecting Latin American families to their roots, memories, and family celebrations.
