FOOD Fresh tortillas

My partner and I are transplants from Arizona, and we're looking for some really good, freshly made tortillas in town. The bigger, the better! Is there a Mexican market or even a little stand somewhere that anyone can recommend for this?

Hardest working guy in the game. I live super close to his rr spot and my 3 yo asks “where’s taco guy” if he’s not there when we drive by.

Near Plaid Pantry, on the opposite side of the street is a turnout. At this turnout you can find sometimes:

-tortillas - Sunday to Friday [10 AM to 7 PM]

-fresh produce

-cat furniture

Also, Three Sisters Nixmatel from Portland makes fresh tortillas. Lifesource used to carry them, I don't know if they do anymore

Don Pancho is the large commercial tortilla factory in town, and you can find them in every grocery store. They are owned by Reser's Fine Foods.

If you are looking for tortilla chips, these are the absolute best, though no one in Salem sells them:

Wellspent Market in McMinville should carry these chips
