3 Amigos

3 (“Tres”) Amigos offers blanco, reposado and añejo tequilas, plus a USDA-certified organic blanco. The El Mirage-based Gonzalez clan not only imports their tequila; they own and oversee the Mexican agave farm and distillery where their tequilas are made, ensuring a family member is involved in every step of the process.

Senor Rio tequila

Debbie Medina and Jonathan Gach didn’t know much about the alcohol industry when they started their Queen Creek-based Jalisco International Imports. A real estate agent and accountant in their former lives, the couple now import award-winning blancos, reposados and añejos, after a reunion with Medina’s father in Mexico revealed that her family had been making tequila there for three generations. The family is still involved in Señor Rio’s operations.
