Tortilleria

Tortillerias are found everywhere in Mexico. The Baja is famous for their flour tortillas, a favorite amongst most gringos. Some tortillerias make only corn, a favorite amongst most Mexicans. On mainland Mexico flour tortillas are hardly ever found... only corn. But you won't see many old ladies sitting around hand flattening homemade tortillas in this part of Mexico in bulk.

This small tortilleria is located in Santa Rosalia near the famous steel church designed by Gustav Eiffel. They use this machine to produce their flat breads. The man in the picture flips them by hand with a spatula, but the machine flattens and cooks the tortillas. For 10 pesos (less than $1US) you can buy a bag of delicious warm tortillas fresh off the press. They are divine!
