About Us:
LALO Tequila is a story of friendship, craft and authentic Mexican heritage. Eduardo “Lalo” González and David “R” Carballido grew up together in Guadalajara, the capital of Mexico’s famed Jalisco tequila region. Lalo’s father (Lalo Sr.) and grandfather (Don Julio) were famed Mexican tequila makers, and David has spent his career working with Mexico’s top tequila producers.
So Lalo and David decided to create the purest expression of tequila and share it with the world. This means producing only tequila blanco purely crafted for a clean taste, with no additives of any kind or aging process to mask the natural flavor. We are now the fastest growing additive tequila on the market and the best selling tequila in Austin.
Come join us as we scale one of the only Mexican-owned tequila brands currently sold in the United States. We are headquartered in Austin and proudly manufactured in Jalisco, Mexico.
