Corn and chili tamales had really hard chewy dry corn on the edge so I had to spit those out every time. The beef ones were awesome. I love the olive in the middle- reminds me of home further south. Grabbed some tortillas and they were also delicious.

The little girl that works there as a cashier is so rude! We went once and she was rude. We thought we would try again today and she was so rude again. We will not be going back as long as she’s working there! Customer service goes along ways!

Was in Tucson for work and this place was conveniently next to where we were working. I was excited to try it because I'm a sucker for a good tamale. The food was pretty good, but I've never experienced a tamale that gave me as much trouble to unwrap as these ones. Whoever makes these needs to re-learn how to wrap them. Also, the girl behind the counter treated my coworker and I like we were idiots. She seemed rather put out that we were even standing at her counter. As overpriced as this place is, i would expect better service AT LEAST. I can go to Winco and find tamales in their deli counter that aren't half bad for half the price. Never again.

I dream of La mesa Tortillas. If you buy your tortillas from somewhere else, you’re wasting your money. Come here! Yum. I haven’t even had the food

I’ve been coming here ever since I was a little girl.. let’s say about more than 20 years? I went here today with my mom to the new location on Broadway and I love the new space. We always love your tortillas, tamales, food etc. but this past visit today was the worst ever. The girl that was working the counter was helpful and kind. I asked for a quesadilla (lightly toasted) I got my food and it looked like charcoal/burnt. I went up to the male working in front of the counter on the phone. I waited patiently and told him that I asked for a quesadilla lightly toasted. He wanted to argue and said “it is, it’s like that to melt the cheese” didn’t offer to remake it until I pulled the other side of the quesadilla and it was full of burnt. He said he will remake it and comes back and says “next time tell them you want it lightly toasted” I said I “I did?” And he said “well I don’t see the issue with the last quesadilla it was FLAWLESS but here you go” and I walked out. I was shocked. Out of all my years here I have NEVER been treated like this. What’s the purpose about trying to argue about YOUR mistake? I was nothing but kind the entire time. I get accidents happen but all you had to do was apologize and remake the food and move on. I am sorry for posting this because the owners are always so kind as well as the red head lady, and the young girl working the counter today. But if I was an owner, I would want to know how my staff is treating my long term customers. I will take the extra drive to go to a different location just to avoid him.

I use to go to La Mesa Tortillas as a kid to eat or just to pick up some tortillas with my parents and I remember this place feeling very nostalgic. It’s been a good few years since I have been, but I saw a post on facebook and decided I needed to drive in to town to go eat and get some tortillas. They have since opened up a new location (just a little bit away from their old location by Home Depot) and the food, staff, and environment are great. I ordered a bean burrito which was priced at a great price and was very filling. Amazing just how I remembered. The same lady that has been working there for years still works there and it was nice to see her. Definitely a very popular spot with constant flow of customers coming in to buy their tamales, tortillas, and more. I highly recommend trying this place out if you haven’t already! :)

Food was good. Service, atrocious. See other reviews and let's just say my experience was the same. Won't go back even though the tortillas were good.
