La Mesa Tortillas

Mine and my Family’s favorite tortillas for life! I’ve never tried the food. Sometimes I’ll just snack on the tortillas. I love to get the small ones and make all kinds of tacos. They go great when I tear them into pieces and put it in chili.

I was doing laundry in the same plaza so I decided to check this place out. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly, but the food was sub-​par at best. The tortillas and tamales were overpriced and the Bean burrito I ordered needed salt in the beans… badly! For the overpriced sub-​par food, I’d take my business elsewhere.

I bought tortillas here a few times and decided to try the food today. What a disappointment!
We had the red beef tamales combo ($ 7.25) and the chicken tacos combo ($ 6). The kitchen took the tamales and chicken fillings out of the fridge and stick them to a microwave. Granted, both of them were made in house, but they were made a while ago so it wasn’t fresh. The microwave thing totally killed it. The rice and beans were flavorless. I’d rather go to Nico’s, Paco’s, and one of those «bertos» places for quick Mexican.

These tortillas are amazing. The green chili is great as well. Tamales are good but skinny.

Just moved to the neighborhood and was stoked to find a tortilla factory! After being there twice I’m not sure as to what they do… selling food isn’t big on their list. The first time I was informed they don’t sell food until after 11 am… open at 9 am. They have bulk items listed on the menu and a cooler with what appeared to be such items, I inquired if I could purchase some of them and was promptly reminded… no food til 11. This morning I had just dropped off my daughter at school and was driving by, saw the front door wide open and thought «warm tortillas». Upon walking in the store was greeted with a shout of «We’re Closed» not good morning or how are you. I asked if I could purchase some of the tortillas on the counter and was then informed they were just preparing the food for later… I can understand if your busy or closed… but no excuse for being Dicks… and both times I’ve been there they’ve been Dicks.

Delicious tamales and the guy up front (owner?) was friendly. He said we needed to call a day ahead if we wanted anything other than beef with green chili because all he stocks are the beef. I would have loved pork or orgreen chili and cheese… so next time we will call in early. No single tamales… they only come in packs of 6. Much better and cheaper than that fancy, overrated tamale place on Broadway.

The tortillas from this place are fantastic! They are true Mexican Nana (grandma) style! The have also different flavors like Jalapeño! Spicy goodness!
Another way I gage a true mexican style food is the red chile beef, tamales and beans. Oh man! Good! Good! Good!
They serve other items and you cant go wrong with the food. They only serve lunch and only take cash (or check) so save a «fin”(five $ bill) for lunch here!
