The Beginning of Everything
More than seven years ago, Nerio Morales’ life was dedicated to civil construction and his work as a pastor in his community in Georgia. A Venezuelan immigrant who has lived for decades in the United States with his family, Nerio always held a dream: to share the authentic flavor of his homeland with the people around him.
At 60, he decided it was time to build something different. Not with bricks, but with corn, seasonings, and a lot of dedication. The project started humbly, in the garage of his house. It was there that Nerio began to produce his famous empanadas de maíz, using his family’s recipe and a special seasoning, a secret that gave a unique touch to every bite. The objective was simple: to cook for his community, offering a product of incomparable quality
An Expanding Legacy
Today, Quesitos Express is a network with 10 stores in the Atlanta area, employing dozens of staff members and serving thousands of customers.
By turning the business into a franchise, Nerio opened the doors for other entrepreneurs to become part of this success story. Quesitos Express is proof that it is never too late to realize a dream and that passion, when combined with excellence, is the main ingredient for success.
The Flavor That Conquered Everyone
The success was immediate. The authentic flavor and care in the preparation of the empanadas quickly spread, and demand grew exponentially. What started as a small home production soon turned into a thriving business.
Nerio didn’t stop there. He expanded the menu, bringing dozens of exclusive Latin dishes, always maintaining the commitment to in-house manufacturing and rigorous quality control
