Fresh Corn Tortillas?

[johnny]

Any suggestions? Restaurants or stores?

Thanks

none that I've seen....I know that Serge Becker had planned on making fresh at La Esquina but the expense was prohibitive.

i've been searching for these myself, mostly to no avail. except one day out of the year:

on dia de los muertos, there's a festival held at a church in the east village -- i forget where, exactly (i had just moved here last november, and was still a bit turned around). there's music, dancing ... and a little tent where some older women make tortillas by hand. i had a quesadilla, and the cheese was melting even as the tortilla cooked on the flat grill. i still think about it, pretty much daily.

i think these ladies were at the mexican street fair on 14th st btw 7th and 8th ave this weekend. i had a quesadilla with chorizo-ish sausage and peppers. it was soooo good.

I've never found fresh tortillas anywhere. Sucks because I just came back from Portland and LA, where I went to tortillerias. But other than suenos I've never had fresh in Manhattan. I ultimately just got a tortilla press and I make my own.

Suenos has a "tortilla lady" who presses fresh corn tortillas all night long, out on the restaurant floor.

They have them at Kitchen Market at 8th ave and 21st

Where can you get to?
I know of where they make them in Brooklyn and Queens.

Actually, most neighborhood bodegas carry the local brands that come from the factories in Brooklyn and Queens. I get mine at Zaragoza on 1st Ave near 13th St who carry about 3-4 different brands, but you can check your local.
