The Tucson couple whose homemade salsa has been featured at the three area Costco stores since 2015 landed a coveted shelf spot at nine Costcos statewide for their newest product, handmade chorizo.
Chilttepica chorizo was expected to land on Costco cold shelves Thursday, May 31, at five warehouse stores in the Phoenix area, the three in Tucson and the Costco in Prescott, said Gloria Badilla, who owns Chilttepica with her husband Huemac.
The three Tucson Costcos — 6255 E. Grant Road on the east side, 1650 E. Tucson Marketplace Blvd. on the south side and 3901 W. Costco Drive in Marana — have been carrying Chilttepica salsa since early 2015. The salsa also is available at La Estrella Bakery's two locations (Mercado San Agustin at 120 S. Avenida Del Convento and 5266 S. 12th Ave.), where the bakery owner first planted the seed with the Badillas to start making chorizo.
