La Mesa Tortillas 3684 West Orange Grove Road, Tucson, AZ 85741

"We bought two dozen tamales and they were delicious, however almost every single one had several pieces of hoja ( corn husk) that when pulled out, made each tamale crumble into pieces."

"Very clean and quiet establishment. All combos are cooked to order and taste fresh and hot. The owner (at least I assume he is) is very kind to employees and customers. Would recommend to anyone for some good quesadillas or tamales!"

"Twice now, I have placed my 'order to go' and have been very pleased. (I really think that they are set up better for TO GO orders rather than EAT IN. However, indeed you can eat there.) By placing my order TO GO, I asked that my items be "COLD". That way they stay fresher until I can get home to heat them up. So the half dozen Tamales and the quart of Red chile all came from their regrigerator. Sort of a no-brainer on how to order stuff when you are planning on heating it up at home. And truly their "hidden secret" is their empanadas and their cochitos. Outstanding!"

"A great place to buy hand made tortillas and burritos. I ordered a quesadilla to go with cheese; it was very flavorful. Also purchased freshly made red chili pork tamales which were very good. The people there were helpful and took time to answer questions I had."

"Probably the blandest Mexican food I’ve tried so far. The beans were dry and tasteless and the rice has no color and also had zero flavor I couldn’t even eat it. $20 dollars wasted. Employees were kind of weird and standoffish they wouldn’t let us get a jalapeño tortilla for a burrito combo. You’re a tortillería and you aren’t going to let me have that? First and last time I’ll be coming here. Go to St. Mary’s, way better food and tortillas and service. The tortillas are okay, nothing special."
