Our Story

A kitchen built on
patience and corn

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.

Our Process

From grain to comal,
every step by hand

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.

1
Dried corn kernels

Select the Corn

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.

2

Knead the Masa

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.

3
Tortilla being pressed by hand

Press Each One

Every tortilla is individually portioned and pressed between parchment by hand. No two are exactly alike — and that's exactly how it should be.

Tortillas cooking on a hot comal

Cook on the Comal

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.
