Our Legacy

Ezequiel and Carmen founded 1933 Spirits LLC in 2001 with a commitment to people over profit. From the start, they paid plantation workers in Mexico double the industry average, funded road development in rural pueblos, and supported nonprofit efforts in the United States focused on children, women, the arts, and athletics.

This was all done in honor of Ezequiel Rodriguez Sr.—a man whose journey laid the foundation for everything we are today. In the 1970s, he, along with his wife Magdalena and their children, left the highlands of Michoacán for California. It was a bold step toward a better future—one that would shape generations to come.

After his passing, his eldest son and namesake chose to carry that legacy forward, planting a modest agave plot on a portion of the land inherited from his father. His vision was rooted in community: to create jobs, keep families together, and build something lasting in his father’s name.

With a dream of developing a private, premium agave plantation, we immersed ourselves in the agricultural process—learning every detail and watching with pride as our fields expanded, lot by lot.

By 2005, a saturated agave market forced a change in plans. One evening over homemade chile verde, our family chose to take a leap—launching our own tequila label rather than selling our harvest at a loss. That was the moment we truly became a team, each of us contributing to design, importation, land development, and more.

We debuted our first three tequila expressions in 2011, accompanied by a portable bar and a presence on the trade show circuit. Eli and Cristina stepped in to shape the brand’s identity—leading our art direction, marketing, PR, and sales. In 2023, we reintroduced the brand with a refreshed label, honoring our roots while embracing growth.

Today, more than two decades later, Mi Casa Tequila proudly offers a refined portfolio of single-barrel, limited-edition tequilas—with more innovative programs on the horizon.

We remain committed to crafting tequila of the highest quality, in honor of our ancestors and the passion that brought us here. Thank you for supporting a small, family-owned business with a big heart.
