Entrance on Ford, north of Cesar Chavez aka Evergreen

Was thinking about large 13 / 14 inch flour tortillas. While getting my 1969 Toyota Carolla worked at Chuy Automotive Electric, I visited next door at La Fortaleza Tortillas and Chips. $3.35 for a dozen 13 inch flour tortillas, plus as a new customer a bag of corn chips. TK

Best Totopos/corn chips ever outside of excellent Mexican restaurants that have the love of cooking.
Gary I.

The best Totopos/fried corn tortilla chips you will ever find in a package outside of some excellent Mexican restaurants that really care about their love for food at various Mexican-Latino oriented stores & markets around Los Angeles. What makes them so special? 1) Fried in fresh "sweet", clean tasting canola oil so no cholesterol, touch of saturated fat. Lightly salted. High in calcium, touch of iron & dietary fibre. 150 calories per ounce. 2) Texture is out of this world. Light yet highly satisfying, crispy, crunchy w/ trace of sweet neutral oil allowing a fragrance of stone ground yellow corn masa to come through while you're chewing away. 3) Great accompaniment to robust salsa de Pico de Gallo, Chipotle, more delicate Tomatillo based salsa verde, Frijoles de Pinto or Peruano sprinkled w/ aged Queso de Cotija, etc. Actually you can dip La Fortaleza into almost anything since chances are, it will taste great. Dorito chips next to La Fortaleza's Totopos make Doritos & other Fritolay products taste almost like mierda de ballenas. I can find La Fortaleza at Sunland Produce and at Super King markets. Or if living nearby in East Los, visit their factory 525 North Ford Boulevard, LA 90022. (323) 261-1211 www.lafortalezaproducts.net You may want to visit nearby La Flama Panadería/bakery for their Pan Dulce, Tamales & Atole near the winter holidays & Zacatecas Raspados for Mexican snow cones w/ flavours like Nuez/walnut, Rompope/egg nog to kill many pájaros with one piedra.

Delicious Old School Tortillas SITREP Whether you like flour or corn tortillas, La Fortaleza makes the best on either varietal. THE SETUP Located in East L.A., La Fortaleza is about as authentic as you can get with a tortilla operation. Many of the restaurants in the immediate in fact feature La Fortaleza. However, what grabbed my taste buds were their bags of corn tortilla chips. At an expensive $2 for 1 LB, it was a great steal for snacking back in my hotel room at night. DECOR The artwork on the outside of their tortilla factory is pretty outstanding as well for local flavor as well. THE LOWDOWN A terrific little tortilla factory operation in East L.A.!

This place is awesome. Its located right off the 710 Fwy! You can get flour or corn tortillas. The flour tortillas also come in wheat. They do have different tortillas sizes too. You can make tacos, enchilada, or even breakfast burritos which comes in the XL tortillas. They also sell tortilla chips. They do sell them by the bag for individual eating or for a party. Everything they sell here is price really well that you just want to buy stacks and stacks of tortillas. (Note to self, buy only what you need) The workers are always very helpful and super friendly.

I was fortunate to meet the La Fortaleza  executive  staff at a recent trade convention

The best tasting Tortilla Chips you will ever try. This small factory produces Tortilla Chips under 3 different labels. La Fortaleza , Mi Hacienda and Sophia's. Each are a different style of Chip. Sophia's happens to be my favorite. *** La Fortaleza also produces Tortillas ***

Good quality chips! Without ALL the salt, preservative, and guilt. You can taste the difference.

Chips! From La Fortaleza!

The La Fortaleza Tortilla factory, makes my favorite tortilla chips, and since their location is so close to me, I decided to stop in and buy my chips directly from the source! So, it's a factory, with a teeny tiny retail shop that'll sell you anything they make. While I'll probably continue to buy my chips from my local store (you know, help out the local economy and all), I'm glad I stopped in here. I didn't realize they made so many other types of tortillas. Not to mention, they sell them in regular size, along with, jumbo sizes! Perfect, for parties. If you're a fan of tortilla chips, look for the La Fortaleza brand... http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nCpzu3o3xM_GyVQaMuR5Yw?select=Lu9n87denLWn7BbIQPqOfA#Lu9n87denLWn7BbIQPqOfA You won't be disappointed. And if you're in the area, stop in, for a fresh batch!

Omgosh, why didn't I know about this place much earlier?! It was so fun shopping at the San Pedro…read moreWholesale Mart looking for cheap deals. Who says you can't find pretty and cheap clothing! Before I came, I do not have any expectations, as I am petite in size, I expect most of the clothes to be oversized but I'm wrong! There are many clothes of my size and it's a steal! Do you believe it? I got myself a black tube for only $1! Yes, your eyes is not playing a trick, it's only for a dollar! (see picture below). The sales person was telling me most people who shops there are not looking for extremely small sizes like me, so they have to get it of it by selling at a dirt cheap price! Well, it's my lucky day! =) TIPS: ~ Opening hours Shops are opened as early as 7am so come early to get the good deals. There's a saying, the "early bird always get to eat the worms". Wake up early and shop gets u good deals! ~ Prices Varies from $5-10 for dress | 3 for $10 t-shirts and pants | $1-5 tops and skirts | ~ The "NOs" No Exchange No Tax No Trying-on ~ Parking If you're lucky, you can find street parking just right along the wholesale mart. Alternatively, just 2-5 minutes walk, you can park at the parking spaces for $6. ~ Payment by cash only and make sure you bring small denominations so it's easier to pay. Most places do not accept $100 bills, make sure you have small denominations.

The ambience, the hustle and bustle of a hopping fish market with well priced catches of the day…read more Looking forward to my next visit!
