At Tortillería Los Comales, we shape masa by hand the way it has been done for generations — no shortcuts, no preservatives, just pure corn and love, baked fresh on our comales every single morning.
Generations
of tradition in every bite
Tortillería Los Comales was born from a simple conviction: that the best tortillas are the ones made slowly, by hand, with ingredients you can pronounce. In our Perth Amboy kitchen, we wake before dawn to blend, knead, press, and cook every single tortilla on hot comales — just as families have done for centuries.
We source nixtamalized corn masa from trusted mills, and we never compromise on quality. No additives. No preservatives. No industrial shortcuts. What comes out of our comal is what your abuela would recognize — soft, fragrant, and alive with the taste of real corn.
Whether you're making tacos for Sunday dinner or stocking your freezer for the week, every tortilla from Los Comales carries the same care it would if it were made at home.
There are no machines replacing human touch here. Each tortilla follows a path that has not changed in hundreds of years — and we honor that tradition at every stage.
We choose only the finest nixtamalized corn, sourced from mills that follow traditional cal-tempe process — soaking dried corn in an alkaline solution to unlock flavor and nutrition.
Our masa is mixed and kneaded until it reaches the perfect consistency — smooth, moist, and alive. This is where patience matters most, and we never rush it.
Every tortilla is individually portioned and pressed between parchment by hand. No two are exactly alike — and that's exactly how it should be.
On our hot comales, each tortilla puffs and develops those characteristic golden spots. We watch every one, flipping at just the right moment, until they're perfect.
We offer a full line of handmade tortillas and traditional Mexican baked goods, all prepared fresh each morning. Every product is made the same way — with care, corn, and tradition.
Our signature product — soft, pliable, and fragrant. Made from nixtamalized corn masa and cooked on traditional comales. Available in regular and small sizes.
Light, fluffy, and perfect for burritos and quesadillas. Our flour tortillas are made with simple, quality ingredients and rolled to the perfect thickness every time.
Hand-wrapped in corn husks and steamed to perfection. Our tamales come in traditional varieties, each one packed with flavor and made in small batches throughout the week.
Crispy tostadas and house-made tortilla chips, fried golden and salted to taste. The perfect base for your favorite toppings or a satisfying snack on their own.
End your meal the right way. We make churros crispy on the outside and soft inside, dusted with cinnamon sugar, along with a rotating selection of Mexican pastries.
House-made salsas, moles, and other Mexican staples crafted in small batches. Ask about our daily selections — they change with the season and the kitchen's inspiration.
Our kitchen is open six days a week, and the smell of fresh tortillas is impossible to miss. Stop by, say hello, and see the comales in action.
