Mission Tortilla Factory

It makes me really sad that this place closed. *tear* Getting my free tortilla was great and a good filler between meals. I’ll miss you Mission Tortilla Factory!

THIS PLACE WILL BE PERMANENTLY CLOSING ON MAY 31, 2011.
I love the Mission Tortilla Factory! When you walk in, you’re treated to a 5 minute video about the history of tortillas. It’s a funny video and one of the kids is super funny in it. Then you basically just walk through a small tortilla factory. But the best part is that you get a free tortilla at the end! If you’re hungry, this is the perfect place for a free snack.
I’m really sad that this place is closing. I think their contact expired and they didn’t renew it. MASECA!

After a quick tour and history lesson, you get a free tortilla from the Mission Tortilla Factory. Score! Apparently if you have a birthday pin, you get a free bag of tortillas too. Double score!

Maseca!
I only come here for the free tortillas for a quick snack. Plus it’s super fun to watch the machines.
By the way, if you were a Happy Birthday pin, they give you a bag of tortillas. Yes! Free lunch!

Very rarely do I get free food and some education, but this is one of the places that can happen.
Nestled in the pier area of Disney’s California Adventure is the Mission Tortilla Factory. It’s been there since the park opened, so they know what they’re doing.
What does it come with you ask? It comes with a free lesson on the history of tortillas, a demonstration of how they are made and finally ends with a free tortilla.
Tip: If you’re wearing your «Happy Birthday Pin» you get a bag of tortilla’s instead of just a single one.
So if your kid is grumpy or you are and need a little sustenance, this is the place that can help.

Yum Yum Yum! I love free food! On our first day, we had a flour tortilla. On our second day, we had a corn tortilla. Delicious, especially since they were hot!
The introduction to making tortillas is informative. However, I skipped it to go straight to the production line for the tortillas.

Fun way for eveyone to see how a Tortilla is made. And we ate a WARM, and FREE MISSION TORTILLA– YUMMMMMmmmMMMMy

Get a taste of California heritage as you watch fresh dough transformed into hot, tasty tortillas (and a freebie). A variety of storytelling techniques «round» out the experience:
* Murals
* Vignettes
* A special behind-​the-​scenes walking tour
* Special cooking and tasting demonstrations

OMG! Nothing like fresh tortillas :) I love the fresh made right before your eyes corn and the flour. So haters back off!
Anything Free at Disneyland is AWESOME! So go get it!
Also, love love the video before hand. Mesca!!!

Free food, air conditioned, and fun for the kids to see how a tortilla is made. What more could you want?
Warning: Their tortillas are NOT gluten free.

Free Tortilla! Yummy!
(OK its not really free because you have to pay to get into the park but whatev)
It is so good because it is hot and fresh!
If they are giving out flour tortillas, it is worth the wait!

FREE SAMPLE!
Walking in… I noticed a huge machine style environment. Really amazing! They were giving away Free sample of a corn tortilla. The awesome machinery gave the place a real Factory feel to it, making over 1,465 tortillas every minute. (Thats what they said) really cool.
I do recommend coming here, checking out how a factory of making tortillas would be like.

Whenever I go to the Mission Factory, I find that there’s two types of people: some people find the short video really cute and love watching it, others have seen the video way too many times and could care less about the video and are only there for the free tortilla.
I’m the latter. I’ll let you in on a little secret. You don’t have to stay and watch the video — those doors aren’t locked. You won’t get assaulted if you just walk right through, no one will even bat an eye. Now that you’ve walked in and received your free tortilla in under five seconds flat, on to the next secret.
Growing up, my parents would take me to Mexico each year during my summer vacation. It was their way of exposing me to the people, the language, the culture, and all that junk. One of my favorite things to do was to go to the ‘tortillerias’ in the early morning and grab still-​warm freshly made tortillas. When I would get home, I kept seeing everyone grab the salt shaker and shake some salt into their tortillas and then roll up the tortilla and eat it up. I thought it was disgusting — till I tried it. I never ate a tortilla the same.
After I grab my free tortilla & Mission, I hang a left upon exiting the factory and walk over to the condiment bar outside the Mexican restaurant. I grab a pack of salt and go to town on my tortilla. You have to be careful and not to over do it, just a few gentle shakes of the packet should be enough. Sure, it sounds weird, but you have to try it!

In California Adventure…
I always hit this when i come to disney… i find it fascinating to see how things are made + this is no exception… workers don’t mind u takin pics & u learn the history of tortillas along the way… end with a free sample of fresh tortilla and that makes an A+ in my book =]

I always want to come here and get a free tortilla for a snack when we’re in California Adventure. If there’s a line to get in, though, I’ll skip it. They’re kinda Nazi-​ish about how many people can go inside at once, which is funny. But it’s Disney. Anyway, I kinda dig the little mini-​scenes they have set up with little digital people walking around in them. By the fifth time or so, maybe I wasn’t so impressed anymore, but the first four times — still impressed.
Anyway, as you may read in other reviews of this place, I got a special surprise on my most recent visit. The tortilla-​catcher person saw my It’s My Birthday button on and said «Hold on, I’ve got something for you.» It was a bag with three free tortillas (!) in addition to the piping hot fresh one I was already handed. Score. Not much is free once you get inside the Disney gates, so take advantage! I may just start wearing an It’s My Birthday button every time …

DELICIOUS WARM FRESH FREE TORTILLAS!
I love the Mission Factory because 1) I love tortillas 2) I like watching how things are made 3) I like free stuff. You even get a free bag of 3 on your birthday!
This place is a must on every trip to CA. A MUST!

Ever seen a tortilla being made? Now u can :-)
Cute, quick, painless-​no-​waiting-​in-​line little tour.
Bonus feature: something 4 free at the end — yes! at disney (W O W)

If you have never had a freshly made tortilla, I highly recommend going to Mission Tortilla factory. It will change how you see tortillas. My friends were right– fresh tortillas taste SO MUCH better.
The tour isn’t as lengthy as the sourdough tour across the way and it’s pretty fun to watch tiny little balls of dough get flattened into a thin disc. I actually didn’t watch the video, we kinda walked in and looked at the dough and next thing you know I’m being handed a tortilla. I have no qualms with that.
On your way out, some guy behind the glass makes quesadillas and the like, but for some reason we weren’t offered any =\ note to self: being cheese next time.
Also, there’s a scale that reads «What is your weight in tortillas?» next to the exit. There’s a conversation starter if I ever heard one.

if you want a time waster this factory tour will take up about 2 minutes and 10 seconds of your day.
it’s a very quick tour and for me i felt it was something i saw on the food networks– unwrapped. it’s pretty cool that they have this option for people to see how tortillas are made in mass production. it would be better to show people how to make fresh quality tortillas.
a free tortilla at the end is great but can you spare some butter or better yet some fillings so i can make a quick taco?! :)

This place is delicious. Yummy and free? I’m there.
You get a quick tour through the factory and get to see all the inner workings of the tortilla making process.
At the end you get a free tortilla. And let me tell you, it will be the best tasting tortilla you have EVER had. You can’t miss this place if you visit California Adventure.
