I was looking for fresh and local small business and yelp came up with la mesa tortillas I bought a dozen flour large tortillas I liked the fact that they are made fresh everyday ! They were a little dry I don't know if they put to much flour in them or what or not enough fat , they were better when we made quesadillas out of them !!! Excellent service from the lady at the front ! I'll give them another try read more

La Mesa Tortillas - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The green chile burrito wasn't great but wasn't terrible. I wouldn't mind stopping by to try other stuff from the menu, but here is the big BUT... customer service! Is the lady at the counter the owner?!?! If not, was she having a bad day or she just didn't like me? If I'm neither one of these apply and I'm not the only one reporting this, why is she still there? I left the place having a strong feeling of regret, sort of like the way you feel after a bad date. read more

So good I love coming here. The lunches are delicious and the tortillas are without a doubt the best around. On another note can I just say how lame it is to read really good reviews with four stars or less? If you love it give it the credit. If something was off make yourself useful and explain why! As someone that worked in a position that relied on similar numbers it matters. read more

East-side gringos: * Get your fresh tortillas here * The red chile beef is tender and tasty for lunch; you can also bring a tub and fresh tortillas home for the family for dinner. Quesadillas are good for a snack also -- much better than Napoleon's home-made Kay-suh-dil-las. * Order tamales in November/early December for advance pick-up. Usually do not give 5 stars to a take-out place but this is quality and if comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges, for take-out this one of the better answers. read more

This place rocks the fresh made tortillas. Ohhh Mmmm Goooood!!! I just had the Green Chile Beef Combo plate...cleaned my plate. Sooo good. Sooooo good. Gotta buy some of their tortillas and cinnamon chips to take home. Yes. read more

Love me some La Mesa tortillas! A good tortilla can make a meal. I love them with my husband's famous shredded beef tacos, with butter and cinnamon/sugar, or just straight from the bag. The only trick is to remember to bring cash. read more

They have good (not blow me away, good) home-made tortillas. Not sure how that qualifies as 5 stars mexican restaurant. Their Burrito which I had to ask them to make was watery shredded beef in a tortilla... that's it. not extra ingredients, nothing. Their chips and salsa (which you have to buy, not complimentary with meal) were stale and uninspired. The service made me the customer feel like I was hasseling them when I had a question about their VERY small menu. This place was very underwhelming considering all the good comments. won't be coming back. read more

The best Tortillas in Tucson. We run La Mariposa and have been buying from La Mesa for many years. Our Chef has very high expectations when he is making food for Events, he knows that he can count on this great local business to provide the best Tortillas! Highly Recommend! read more

I have childhood memories of eating a freshly made tortilla,with nothing (OK, maybe a little butter) on it, hot off the placa... indescribable. My mom grew up making stacks of tortillas daily for her many siblings. She lives out of town. When I go to visit her, she requests that I bring these tortillas. That, right there, should tell you everything you need to know about the authenticity of La Mesa tortillas. Go there and get a dozen, still fresh and hot, the bag still full of steam. So why only four stars? I've tried their food in the past. THAT'S not as good as Mom's... but what is? read more

Great tortillas and salsa, picked up a few dozen to send out for the holidays and they were an absolute hit with everyone. Never tried the food, but it looks and smells pretty darn good. read more

Always the best tortillas in Tucson....also love their green chili meat. Nothing better than a fresh tortilla.

Now I am not in anyway a tortilla expert but in my neighborhood, which is as far removed from South Tucson as these tortillas are from the neighboring La Baguette's baguettes, these are the best tortillas going. Pretty much any time you go into the store there are a few bags on the counter, which means any time you go in there you can get a hot, fantastic tortilla. They sell them in small taco size ones, medium burrito size ones and giant burro sized ones. You can also get them in whole wheat and jalapeno (which are spicy, and not just white people spicy like "oh what's in here black pepper? Oh too spicy!" but like "D-amn!"). You should not get them when you are hungry because sitting on your front seat smelling like they do and feeling so warm and supple under your hand as you lay them down you will have to open them up, then you are screwed because not only are they fantastic out of the bag but not surprisingly they are filling, probably a tad fattening as well. So in summary, get some of the small ones and some of the large ones, snack on the small ones, then use the large ones when you get home. A bag or two of these are indispensable on a road trip , just frisbee them back to the kids, and they are heads and shoulders and giraffe heads and shoulders above any brand you can get at your grocery store. I mean they are sitting on the counter hot from being cooked, right there! Hot! Oh they only take cash, as it should be for such a treasure. read more

They make the best flour tortillas! I've ordered them in the past when we have a big business luncheon and were serving Mexican food. We picked them up fresh that day and they were still warm when we made it to our location. If you need a bunch of tortillas, order ahead, they go fast! You can't always just walk in and get a ton on a whim. So worth the planning ahead. read more

Most rude experience I've had in years.... shouldn't be in business... unless I was just singled out

Wow !!!!!! These are the best tamales I have ever had !! Being from Mexico I have high expectations but this blew me away!! Very delicious all three kinds are great ! Meat, chicken and corn! The tortillas are so soft !!!! To die for! This is certainly a hidden gem!!!!! read more

I just had the red chili beef plate lunch. It comes with beans, rice, and 2 pretty decent size fresh tortillas. At $9, it's a decent value. The tortillas themselves were wonderful, and if I was just rating those I'd give 5 stars. The rest of the food, however, was very bland and badly needed salt, especially the beef. Just wasn't much flavor to it overall. P.S. The infamous red-haired woman was there, but she was sweet as pie as far as I could tell, even laughing and joking. So ymmv with her, I guess. The younger black man mentioned in other reviews was a delight as predicted. read more

My first time going here and I've lived so close to this business. They do serve lunch and there are an assortment of different kinds of tortillas from wheat to corn plus you can buy tortilla chips too. I do want to try their lunch sometime however the woman working the cash register was rude and seemed annoyed with people coming in and out of the store. read more

This place is overpriced and overrated. I am very disappointed with the flour tortillas. Will never go back again.

Definitely awesome tortillas!!! Especially for East side Tucson! Stop buying those thick nasty ones at the grocery store and come here. You will leave with fresh, warm tortillas that you usually need to eat 1 in the car on the way home. read more

I love their tortillas! When I make anything with tortillas I never get the crappy mission tortillas - places like this that make DELISh tortillas a gold! :) read more

They are very fresh and only $4 a dozen on the medium size. The cashier looked p.o. and inconvienced so that's why I took a star off.

Come in at 5 and order the special. I'm told they are no longer serving lunch. Ok, so I tried to order from the regular menu and the guy behind the counter asked what size cup I want. I had no idea what he was talking about. I still don't. He said he cannot prepare food after 3, but he can put something in a cup, just not together. Did he mean meat? Beans? Rice? I couldn't get him to give a coherent answer:/ while we were talking a woman who'd been eating (and I doubt she had been there since before 3) came and asked for a bag for her leftovers. Leftovers of what!? read more

So I gave this place 5 stars based solely on their tortillas, they are fresh and homemade. Absolutely delicious! However if I was to grade the Tortilla Nazi running the counter, I'd give her a star, but that would be to generous. read more

Don't bother buying your tortilla's elsewhere, unless you're headed to the south side. La Mesa tortilla's are stupidly legit. If you come early enough you can literally watch them bag your dozen. Plus, as others have mentioned, if you make it in while they are serving food the red chile beef is pretty phenomenal. read more

Had a quick lunch. Excellent! Fun to watch the tortillas come right off the line. Limited menu but choices are good.

Great tortillas. Most times I go in to the Broadway store the tortillas are still warm in the bag and when I eat them they just melt in my mouth. I can't resist picking up some chips either which are substantial and have a rich corn flavor. My son loves the kick of the jalapeño tortillas, and my wife thinks the whole wheat ones are 'healthy', but I'm a plain flour kind of guy and sometimes grab and eat a still steaming one out of the bag on the drive home. So I just want my family to know that 'a dozen tortillas' is actually twelve, not eleven. I have not eaten off the menu except to grab a container of red chili once when I didn't have much time to cook. It was alright, though a bit salty, but the tortilla I wrapped it in was great. I guess if you call yourself La Mesa Tortillas you specialize in one thing and do it very well. That is fine with me. read more

The tortillas are so good that I got them delivered to Brooklyn for the 8 years I lived there. The small jalapeno tortillas make the best breakfast with eggs and chorizo and I can never leave without buying tamales. When they have the green corn in stock, buy some! read more

Their in-house flour tortillas are great, as everyone attests, but the Luly's corn tortillas they sell are also some of the best I've found in Tucson. (Trader Joe's store brand are on a par though.) I love coming here and picking up a package of fresh, hot tortillas and a big ol' container of refried beans. Add a bit of Poco & Mom's green chili and cheese and I can eat well for a week! read more

Whenever I get an out of town customer this is the first place I tell them to go. I LOVE grabbing tortillas and then getting mini tortilla dozen so i can eat them in the car on the way home. read more

La Mesa Tortillas is another one of our weekly destinations. It has the best tortillas in town, which are also available in whole wheat and jalepino. We love to buy their tamales and beans and rice and tortillas. It makes for a quick, easy and delicious meal at home!! read more

Best tortillas in town! Jalapeño is too spicy for me. I stick with their plain- I can eat a pack on the way home!! read more

La Mesa Tortillas - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The best tortillas! My kids love when I pull up to La Mesa and run in to get a fresh, hot tortilla! Highly recommend!!!!

Loved these tortillas ! We bought a dozen medium and they were still warm. Made chicken quesadillas with them and the tortillas were perfect! Cannot wait to return! The service was excellent as well. It was truly genuine and appreciative. read more

With these tortillas, it's easy to create restaurant quality burritos and enchiladas. I'm always amazed at the freshness and flavor you get from La Mesa tortillas. And you will eat one on the way home. read more

I use to love these tortillas but I won't be going back ever. I came in excited to purchase them and greeted the woman at the counter with a warm smile and was not given one in return. Instead a price was just given to me and when I had to enter my pin all I received as a notice was "Here you go." I thought maybe she was having a bad day but from what I've read on here it's how she usually is. Customer service plays a big role and I definitely won't be coming back here again just because of how I've been treated. read more

Delicioussss warrrmmmm tortillaassss fresh from an oven. What more can you want in life!!! Reasonably priced, and quick service. Yum!

Tortillas were nice and fresh. Food was simple and good. The tamales were excellent.

I have to admit that I have never had anything off of the lunch menu, just the tortillas. These tortillas are phenomenal. I can bring home a warm pack of them and eat a whole bag of them if I'm not careful. Always fresh and the original tortillas are hard to be but I like the jalapeño ones too! Dirt cheap and darn good! read more

I've driven by here a myriad of times but never gone in for lunch. I had a combo today and it was yummy, just-spicy-enough chicken tacos, refried beans and rice. The salsa was really, really good - not quite like any other salsa I've had. There was a line to the door of people buying both tortillas and salsa to go, and five of the six tables were full. RC beverages, but I'm getting used to finding them in small businesses here in Tucson, though not my favorite. Will definitely return. read more

Really good! The best salsa in town. Food is really fresh and not greasy. It could be a little spicier, but since I take it home, I doctor it there! read more
