These are our favorite tortillas in Tucson. Yes, the counter help can be gruff, but it’s local flavor and she makes the line (often long) move quickly. Heading there now to get my 7 dozen to bring home with me on the plane. (They store great in the freezer.) Nothing says love like a warm tortilla.

I see mixed reviews for La Mesa...I enjoyed the fresh tortillas and also had a chorizo burrito which wasn’t greasy or soggy. Very delicious...the cup of salsa could be a little more generous since it’s chunky but all was a pleasant experience for me and my son. The lady was very nice and carried a conversation with myself and everyone else that was lined up for her fresh tortillas.

Absolutely love the tortillas here! (So does my dog who is lucky to be alive after eating a whole package.) The tamales are good, though personally not my favorite. There are 3 different varieties of corn tortillas and the best so far is Mi Cobachito. Softest corn tortillas ever! The flour tortillas are so good they're worth eating all on their own.

I use to go to La Mesa Tortillas as a kid to eat or just to pick up some tortillas with my parents and I remember this place feeling very nostalgic. It’s been a good few years since I have been, but I saw a post on facebook and decided I needed to drive in to town to go eat and get some tortillas. They have since opened up a new location (just a little bit away from their old location by Home Depot) and the food, staff, and environment are great. I ordered a bean burrito which was priced at a great price and was very filling. Amazing just how I remembered. The same lady that has been working there for years still works there and it was nice to see her. Definitely a very popular spot with constant flow of customers coming in to buy their tamales, tortillas, and more. I highly recommend trying this place out if you haven’t already! :)

Nice shop to get some great tortillas. I love the jalapeno ones! We stopped here and got a few packs to bring back home with us.
