Established in 1944 For more than 65 years, Tex-Mex Curios has operated a family owned business located in Corpus Christi Texas. Now celebrating over 3 generations of heritage, the Tex-Mex Curios team continues to honor traditions which were envisioned by its' founders. In 1944, Angelita and Alfonso Orea purchased Tex-Mex News Stand, founded in 1901, from a local merchant. After the acquisition Mr. and Mrs. Orea expanded their business from a news stand and general store to include homeopathic products that would encompass a holistic approach for improving the mind, body and spirit. The business continued to grow as a Historical Landmark in the Corpus community. The Orea's vision was to offer natural products and services to their community that aid in healing the mind, body and spirit. This vision continues to be the staple voice of the Tex-Mex Curios family today.
