Sporked Named La Monarca the #1 Mexican Hot Chocolate Mix (And We’re Honored!)

At La Monarca Bakery, our mission is simple: share The Sweet Flavor of Mexico using real, high-quality ingredients made with love. From our authentic pan dulce to our signature café de olla, every recipe we craft honors our rich Mexican heritage.

When food review site Sporked set out to find the absolute best Mexican hot chocolate mix on the market, we were honored—and thrilled—by the results. After testing dozens of top hot cocoa brands across four rigorous taste-test rounds, Sporked named La Monarca’s Mexican Hot Chocolate Mix #1!

La Monarca vs. Abuelita: Winning "Hands Down"

Sporked put our signature mix head-to-head against traditional grocery store legacy brands like Nestlé Abuelita. Here is why our authentic hot cocoa took the crown:

"We pitted La Monarca’s Mexican hot cocoa mix against Abuelita’s and La Monarca won hands down. It tastes like real cinnamon-infused cocoa (rather than hot cocoa someone dropped a Red Hot into). It’s chocolaty and spicy and absolutely delicious."

The difference comes down to our ingredients. While legacy brands rely on artificial flavorings and excessive sugar, our craft Mexican hot cocoa mix uses organic, fair-trade cacao ground in-house and blended with real cinnamon.
