    Ah the Mexican culture is so chill and friendly. Walk into a Mexican business and you instantly get the homely vibe, also great food. I'll leave you with the lyrics of a classic Mexican work moral song.
    "All week long, Boss-man say,
    Work Mexican work
    Sing your song, earn your pay
    Work Mexican work
    Work, Mexican
    Sweat, Mexican
    Toil, Mexican
    It's your lot in life
    While people play in the sun all day
    Work Mexican work"

    Rick Martinez from Bon Appetit. You may talk a lot of smack about machine made tortillas but this is what a real American made tortilla is like. Fresh, custom made to a chef's specifications, and from a company run by professionals.

    • @ogarza3
      @ogarza3 5 років тому

      Exactly, this is how it is made, no different than with store bought maseca from the supermarket, except it has time to sour for a day or two on the plastic. It's like using canned tuna for sushi, sure it works, but it tastes very bad compared to real fresh ground corn. The problem with tortillas is scale, you can't really scale, so fresh nixtamal you will only find in mom and pop tortillerias or restaurants, which mostly don't exist in the US, or they used processed flour like this place. Even grabbing the tortillas fresh of the machine will be very inferior to fresh ground.

      People need to see how eg. their coffee is harvested, processed, and packaged. If you think dirty hands are an issue, you really don't understand how food (or germs) work...

      @@Hahahahaaahaahaa - It is just not hygienic. In for instance NL, such a company would be either (hugely) fined or downright closed at the first inspection, by the food-safety authorities...
      Also: No covering of the mouth; there's hair coming through the head-covers; no hygienic clothing (just their own regular clothes?)... Brrr...
      Maybe it is a cultural thing?
