Just 1% Makes a Big Impact

Garlic 1% in El Paso, TX was formed with the mission of bringing sincerity, recovery and love to the culinary space. Our founders both experienced tragedies, losing a wife and a husband through battles with cancer and diabetes. After these terrible losses, they made it their mission to protect their children’s futures by introducing healthier eating and exercise. Instead of living with regrets, they took action to help their own families and others in the community by making healthy, nutritious food delicious, using ingredients like kimchi, fermented garlic and many more. They combined their talents and formed the Korean restaurant you see today.
