Taqueria

Three tacos and a lime.

Corn tortillas pressed to order, al pastor carved off the spit, and five salsas from mild to “we warned you”.

Corn to tortilla

Every tortilla starts as a kernel.

Nixtamal

Heirloom corn simmered with lime overnight, the old way.

2

Masa

Ground each morning into a soft dough.

3

Press

Pressed by hand when you order, not before.

Comal

Thirty seconds a side on the hot griddle, then straight into the basket.
