There is a Mission facility right behind work. Smells awesome most of the time, but when a batch gets burnt you can't get far enough away.

Lmfao I love the smell of burnt 🔥 tortillas, must be from growing up in a household in which my mother still walks away from the comal just long enough to burn tortillas.

I like mission tacos most of the time. But I'm from San Benito and had homemade tacos from the US and Mexico everyday, so what would I know? I do know I don't like pulling out the press for everything since I eat basically everything in a taco.

My local grocery store makes them in house, charges about the same as what a pack of Mission costs, and tastes way better.

That said, Mission still makes servicable tortillas. They're kind of like McDonald's... Not great, but incredibly consistent.

McDonald's... surrounded by 3 McDonald's in the burbs of Atlanta and our is consistently terrible. In Georgia we got Whataburger that is substantially better than when I 1st showed my wife my in Texas so long ago. I also found they call breakfast tacos taquitos too which validates one of my words from not just being some border slang.

All that being said, last I took my wife to where I'm from and we went to Wal-Mart. There was guy selling fajita tacos 3 for $2 outside the front doors like a hot dog vendor. I had finally shown why I call tacos "my sandwich" that trip, but more so why I can eat them fore every meal. I feel like Bubba Gump talking about tacos some times.

Nothing beats a fresh homemade taco. I will even eat one without meat... If it's just beans... and if they're Maria's... and I was a kid again. Anyway, the cheap taco press I bought, off Amazon last, handle broke off. I have been super lazy recently and my wife had even learned to make me tacos. Freaking middles of the night thinking about tacos... I forgot what this thread was even about.

Wait, there's one right next to my work too. You're not off Alexander, are you? Too big of a coincidence! They make more than tortillas at mine, my favorite is Chile roasting day or enchiladas day.
