Saucy deal: Tortilla chip maker dips into Pflugerville digs

PFLUGERVILLE – El Lago Mexican Foods Inc. will bring 40 jobs and move into 24,000 sf of a 120,000-sf building under construction near SH 130 and I-45 in Pecan 130 Business Park within the 130 Commerce Center. The move will occur in August 2014.

The Pflugerville City Council approved an incentive agreement worth $60,000 to El Lago in return for bringing jobs to the city.

The company’s new location is gaining interest from companies that need to move product quickly and don’t want their trucks stuck in the heavy traffic along I-35 and MoPac Expy., according to Floyd Akers, Pflugerville Community Development Corp. Executive Director.

El Lago has operated its tortilla chip factory in East Austin at 1700 E. Fourth St. for many years.
