Esidoro Nieto Jr. has fond memories of helping his mother in the kitchen as a child and of watching people bake in Mexico. Seven years ago‚ he began Mi Pueblo Bakery with his wife‚ and business has been expanding ever since.
Mi Pueblo supplies tortillas to area restaurants and to stores.
“Every day we mix about 1‚000 pounds of dough for corn tortillas and about a ton of dough for flour tortillas‚” Nieto says.
In addition to tortillas‚ Mi Pueblo makes Mexican bread and about 50 different pastry items‚ including custom wedding cakes‚ churros and doughnuts.
Nieto operates three stores in Southern Idaho and will be opening a fourth in Twin Falls soon. He employs 26 people.
Nieto credits his success to the people around him. “We can’t do business without our workers‚ and we wouldn’t be in business without our customers. We really appreciate them all.”
