Agreed, flour is Tex-Mex, which can be good too sometimes, but nothing better than pastor with home made grilled corn tortillas. Best drunk food ever.

I thought I was reading an Orange Uncle Google Dragon post there, had to double check who posted it :stir: :wink:

I would give that a go. have you seen frozen corn totillas in shv
The have them listed here, expect the usual flakeyness with regards supply:

no, that is written from my own experience. i looked into making corn chips here years ago. you can buy a domestic masa mill from mexico that will put out about 1 kg of masa a minute for about $350. maize is about 40 cents a kg- thought it may be a good biz.

Sounds like an opportunity for someone.

Taco Tuesday at kopikelli is slow. Tacos are quite tasty but you will wait even when the place is quiet.

I have not seen any soft corn tortillas around town in supermarkets.
flour tortillas at thai huot, though easily made at home
masa harina from LSH
I hear you have to have a business to buy from LSH. Is that so?

I have never experienced slow service there, on any night. Great tasting food too.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.
