tip on where to buy fresh tortillas? ....live on westside. grilling fajitas, guac, fresh pico, etc, but tortillas i've tried to make myself suck........ fresh tortillas key in trying to sell my thai mother-in-law on the virtues of tex-mex. some ok. grocery options (i miss central market in texas), but willing to go the extra mile if you've got the right spot

My fave on the westside are taco size from Top Value Market in Mar Vista...

3rd! and if you care to try other things, they also make their own sopes and huraches.

I absolutely love the hand made corn tortillas at La Cabana in Venice(Rose nr Lincoln). thick and almost sweet...

Not only can you pick-up some dynamite fresh-made (while you watch) tortillas – thicker than most with a delightful texture and flavor, you can get anything and everything you need to fill ‘em. On the other hand, do as I do and get them already filled. A real gem of a market/take-out. Worth the drive to ELA.

fantastic... think i'll make that trip saturday. if i can wait that long

Difference is they're hand made not machine made and definitely better served the day you buy them.

I think La Azteca has better corn tortillas and they have great flour tortillas all hand made!

Gallegos Bros. on Venice has some special tortillas they sell, machine made but to their specifications. I usually fry them but if someone knows how to reheat them. There is also La Azteca Tortillaria on Caesar Chavez.

Check out Superior Grocers.
They make their tortillas fresh on the premises. They also make fresh salsas.
