Koki's Tortillas — Local services in Columbus

Koki's make tortillas fresh, daily. And, they are wholesale suppliers to restaurants and Hispanic groceries all over Columbus.

They also make masa for those who wish to make Tortillas and Tamales. They sell tortillas and masa, retail (cash only) to anyone who stops by

We order 60 to 70 pounds of prepared tamale masa every year, for a yearly 'Tamale Day,' where friends and family come by, visit, laugh and enjoy each other's company while we make tamales. (You DO need to pre-order, and pre-pay, for large orders like this, though.

And, the masa is great. My wife has been making tamales for more than 30 years in Arizona, and now, in Ohio. The last 15 years or so, she has 'farmed out' the Masa preparation to those with the giant 'Kitchen Aide' style mixers.

Honestly, I didn't know that there could be such a difference in what seems like such a simple ingredient. I wasn't looking to have some kind of hipster "cooler than your tortillas" experience. I was just hungry and cheap. But I did get that experience, and THEN found out that Koki's is right in my hometown?

So what we have is excellent value, incredible quality and the absolute joy of supporting a local business. I'm never buying Mission again, unless I'm having some kind of emergency...

Love this place! Home made bulk (3 dozen per bag) tortillas. So fresh. They have yellow corn, white corn amd organic blue corn tortillas. They have mini white corn tortillas. 😍. They sell premixed masa for tamales or making your own tortillas at home. They also sell dry bags of masa. This place is so fresh and economical. I buy in bulk and freeze. Tortillas thaw beautifully. I also make homemade baked tortilla...
