Every tortilla at La Chona is pressed by hand, cooked on the comal, and served warm — just like Abuela used to make.
Tortilleria La Chona started with one conviction: tortillas should taste like they came from home. No shortcuts. No preservatives. Just nixtamalized corn, clean water, and hands that know exactly how much pressure to apply.
Located on Grant Road in Houston, we've been serving the community with fresh tortillas made throughout the day — because real tortillas don't wait, and neither do we.

Pressed
Traditional nixtamalized corn, pressed fresh and cooked on the comal. Soft, pliable, and full of authentic corn flavor.
Light, fluffy, and perfectly layered. Made with quality flour and lard for that traditional texture that holds up to anything.
Hand-wrapped in corn husks and steamed to perfection. Available in pork, chicken, and seasonal specialties.
Bolillos, teleras, conchas, and more — baked fresh every morning for your breakfast or your next tortas.
Fresh masa for your own cooking, and warm atole made the old-fashioned way — comfort in a cup.
Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside — dusted with cinnamon sugar and served with chocolate for dipping.
Whole corn is soaked and cooked in an alkaline solution, developing flavor and nutrition only nixtamalization provides.
The nixtamal is stone-ground into smooth, supple masa — the foundation of every tortilla we make.
Each tortilla is hand-pressed to order and cooked on a hot comal until perfectly blistered and puffed.
Tortillas go straight from the comal to your hands — warm, soft, and ready for whatever you're making tonight.
Stop by for fresh tortillas, pan dulce, and the kind of welcome that makes you feel like family.
