Hmmm... I was about to ask the same question, the lack of any answers may speak volumes. But if anyone knows where to buy freshly made corn tortillas in NOVA, a tip on where they are would be greatly appreciated!

re: Ziv
Not sure if anyone else was wondering about this, but I checked and La Union will sell 30 of the thin type of corn tortillas that are used for tacos for around $6. They don't do this very often so it took some asking, but they were clear, they are 'home made' right there at the cafe and you get them the day they are made, so they are super fresh and authentic. They are on Wilson about 1 miles west of Ballston.

re: mt7187
Do any of NOVA's Mexican/Salvadoran grocery stores/cafes use fresh masa? Would a fairly discriminating palate, albeit not a native tortilla eater, so to speak, be able to tell the difference? Do the places that get raves for their tortillas in California use masa harina?
I have a feeling the difference will be so slight that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference, but you never know. I can't imagine that a lot of Mexican Mom's don't use the equivalent of flour for their tortillas, i.e masa harina, but I just don't know enough to say.
Argghhh... Just when I thought I had an answer, it gets more complicated! LOL
