Is there anywhere in Montreal for fresh flour tortillas
I am looking for somewhere I can find fresh flour tortillas in montreal. It seems that there are the ones at the grocery store and there are a few brands that come from the states. Does anyone in Canada make flour tortillas?
Tortilleria Maya 234 Jean-Talon Est

Maya doesn't make there own flour tortillas only corn. The flour ones they sell are from the US, they sometimes carry one type with no labeling not sure where they are from.

Not 100% sure, but basing it on the flour ones they sell right now (label says Made in US). I remember them telling me when they first moved to the the JTM location that they would start making their own flour tortillas but every time I asked they said, "not yet". I can't recall them making flour ones when they were on St Laurent.

At JTM, Maya only sells fresh corn tortillas. I asked about a month ago.

The best flour tortillas I have purchased in Montreal are at Che-Churro at Somerled on NDG. The tortillas are not fresh, but are the best I have found so far.

There are amazing, soft flour tortillas at the latin butcher Mundial(?) just on the west side of the JTM (behind the pet store on Jean Talon). Heads and shoulders better than anything else I've found. I'd swap my pillow for a bag willingly.
Two sizes, both in a hamper in front of the cheese and meat section as you walk in. Red writing on the bag. While you're there, pick up some of their house crema, soft mexican cheese from the water bins and the incredibly good fresh chorizo - you'll best any mexican resto in the city.

Yes, their chorizo is excellent. As far the tortillas go, if you are talking about the ones I think you are they are pretty standard and filled with a ton of preservatives that give them that suspicious smell.
