Antares Capital is serving as administrative agent and joint lead arranger on a USD121.6 million senior secured credit facility to support the acquisition of Del Real Foods by a private equity fund affiliated with Palladium Equity Partners.

Founded in 2002 and based in Mira Loma, California, Del Real offers authentic, clean label, traditionally prepared Mexican cuisine, including prepared meats, specialty items (tamales and pupusas), fire roasted salsas, and side dishes (rice and beans).
