40+ Years of Tradition

A family recipe that
never changed

In 1985, Doña Carmen Martinez set up her first tortilleria on Broadway Street with nothing more than a comal, a wooden press, and a stubborn belief that nothing tastes quite like a tortilla made with your own hands.

Forty years later, her grandchildren still show up before dawn to sort the nixtamal, grind the masa, and press each tortilla flat — the same rhythm her parents taught her. We don't use machines that rush the process. We don't add preservatives to extend shelf life. What you get is what she made: warm, pliable, and honest.

100% Nixtamal

Traditional calcium hydroxide process for authentic flavor and nutrition

Fresh Daily

Made every morning, sold the same day — never frozen, never stored

Family Recipe

Three generations of the same careful, unhurried method

Made fresh,
sold with pride

Every tortilla pressed by hand, every pupusa stuffed with care, every tamale wrapped the old way.

Fresh white corn tortillas stacked warm from the comal

White Corn Tortillas

Our signature product — soft, pliable, and impossibly fresh. Available in regular and large sizes, pressed to order throughout the day.

Blue corn tortillas with a deep natural color

Blue Corn Tortillas

Made from naturally pigmented blue nixtamal. Earthy flavor, striking color, and the same hand-pressed texture you trust.

Thick pupusas stuffed with cheese and pork

Pupusas

Thick corn cakes stuffed with queso, refried beans, chicharrón, or any combination. Griddled on our comal until golden and crisp.

Hand-wrapped tamales steaming in corn husks

Tamales

Wrapped in corn husks and steamed until tender. We make them by hand every Friday — chicken, pork, and seasonal varieties.

Soft flour tortillas freshly cooked on the comal

Flour Tortillas

Light, layered, and perfect for burritos or quesadillas. Made with premium wheat flour and a touch of lard for flakiness.

Crispy tortilla chips with fresh salsa on the side

Chips & Salsa

House-made tortilla chips cut and fried to a crisp, served with our fresh tomato salsa. Available while supplies last.

Come taste
the difference

We open early every morning so you can grab warm tortillas on your way to work, pick up supplies for Sunday dinner, or stop in for a quick pupusa and salsa.
