| - I visit La Tortilleria once a week for tortillas for my fish tacos. They have both white and yellow corn and it's only $3 for about 30. They also offer organic blue corn tortillas and I believe they cost about $6.50. The homemade nacho chips are, without doubt, authentic Mexican restaurant quality - you can't stop eating them! The green and red salsa scream freshness and also made in-house. Sometimes the red salsa is hit or miss as it can range from being very spicy to not-so-spicy; the last container I bought was loaded with the salt. Not a huge selection of Mexican goods as you would think but you can get Queso Fresco, Mexican Chorizo and they have a good assortment of dried chilies. Prices are not marked for most of the groceries so be sure to ask because it's fairly pricy.
If you're familiar with the area, just come up Norseman and make the quick right on Kipling and then another quick right, otherwise you may miss it. There is nothing shady about the location, it's just very industrial. The parking lot is small and extremely tight but, if you're just running in and can't find a spot, I would just park in Advance Tire's back lot.
I've only eaten from there once because I was starving and still had a lot of errands to run. I ordered three tacos (Beef & Chorizo, Carnitas and Chicken Tinga) which I had to wait for 10 minutes, albeit the meat was already prepared. It cost close to $10 and the woman was horrifically stingy on the fillings - probably (no word of a lie) about two tablespoons of meat per taco, some nasty soggy rice and some refried beans that had no taste. There was no salsa, cilantro, slaw or even Queso Fresco so it lacked a lot of freshness. It's difficult to give a review of the meat itself because there was so little of it and the tortilla overpowered everything. I can't understand the other reviews that the portions were generous. There was a gentleman in front of that ordered the taco salad and it was half the size of the one depicted in Rob M.'s photo. I would have given this business four stars if it wasn't for her and her cheaply made tacos!
