The tortilla is the whole point.

We cook the corn, grind the masa, and press every tortilla to order. Once you've had one that came off the comal thirty seconds ago, the bagged ones are finished for you. Sorry.

Menu

Tacos come three to an order on our tortillas. Everything is made the same day, which is why the list is short and why we sometimes run out by 8.

The salsa bar

Four salsas. Pick your fight.

All four are on the counter and all four are free. The scale below is honest — we'd rather you enjoy your lunch than prove something.

Verde

Tomatillo, serrano, cilantro. Bright and tart. Goes on everything.

Mild
Roja

Charred tomato and guajillo. Smoky, a little sweet.

Medium
Macha

Chile oil with peanuts and sesame. Crunchy, deep, addictive.

Hot
Habanero

Habanero and roasted carrot. Start with a drop. We mean it.

Careful

Our masa

It starts at four in the morning.

Almost nobody in Montgomery does this anymore, because it's slow and it's work. It's also the difference you can taste in the first bite.

    We cook the cornWhole dried corn simmered with cal, then left to sit overnight. That's nixtamalization, and it's a thousand years older than this restaurant.

    We grind it freshInto masa on a stone mill every morning. No bagged flour, no preservatives, nothing shipped in.
  • 3
    We press to orderYour tortilla is pressed and hits the comal after you order. That's the thirty seconds you're waiting for.

Lo que dicen

What people say.

★★★★★

I grew up in San Antonio and had about given up on finding tortillas like this in Alabama. You can tell the second you pick one up. The al pastor comes off the trompo, not out of a pan, and that is the whole difference.

Came for the tacos, stayed for the salsa macha. I have now bought three jars of it to take home. Ask nicely and they will sell you some.

Get there before noon on a Saturday if you want the barbacoa. I learned this the hard way twice. Third time I showed up at 10 and it was worth setting an alarm for.
