This little tortilla shop is such a gem! There aren’t many places like this in the area, and I’m so glad I found it. The staff is always very friendly and welcoming. I’ve tried their barbacoa and it was absolutely amazing, full of flavor and so fresh. Their tortillas are some of the best I’ve ever had—soft, authentic, and delicious. They even carry a few Mexican products on the side, which is such a nice touch. Definitely a small business worth supporting!

Always a pleasure to buy from Mrs. Chona. We usually text her our order in advance and she messages back when order is ready. The entire family is so wonderful and helpful. Everything she makes is delicious, we also buy our masa here when we are going to make tamales for the holidays. Everything is always fresh and yummy.
