The Wholesome Tortilla — Restaurant in Goshen

The Wholesome Tortilla was chosen for a business lunch meeting. Being from out of town (from Winona Lake), I had not been before.

The Wholesome Tortilla is currently located at 121 E. Lincoln Ave. in Goshen, Indiana — tucked away in the alley behind Venturi Neapolitan wood-fired pizzeria. The owners have purchased the old Courthouse Pub building and plan to relocate there, with hopes for the move to be realized in autumn.

With fresh tortillas — made in-house, daily — The Wholesome Tortilla serves a variety of tacos, which include:

Chochinita Pibil: a traditional pork from the Yucatán Peninsula, slow roasted in achiote sauce, baked in banana leaves — garnished with pickled red onions and habanero peppers.

Tinga: shredded beef in a tomato and chipotle pepper sauce with sautéed onions

Potatoes & chorizo, Potatoes and roasted poblano peppers, and more choices...

This taco spot also offers chilaquiles with eggs and a soup option — when I visited, it was their Aztec soup with a choice of a bean or chicken variety.

The service was friendly and fantastic. The Chochinita Pibil was one of the best tacos I've ever had. When I go back, it'll be real hard to not just get three of those — it's that good: 10/10

During our lunch, someone walked up to our table on the outdoor patio and asked if he was at the right place. If you have trouble finding it, their door has the word EAT hung above it. It's on the backside of a building, down an alley, just off Lincoln St. The wall surrounding their door is painted with a large, yellow tortilla chip — acting as an arrow pointing the way.

*Remember, they'll be moving to Main St. in the fall.

The tortillas are bland, nothing like the one's from Mexico. Perhaps the recipe is from another Latin American country, because Mexican they are not. You're better off getting Milagro Tortillas, which can be bought at my local Mexican Store(San Jose, Gutierrez). I tried a dish with Green Rice/ Potatoes and Chile Poblano. I paid $3.50 for a pound of Tortillas, and $9 for the dish. I was not a fan. Overall there are much better choices to be had, even in Goshen.

EDIT: Replying. I also grew up in Mexico and have lived in border states for most of my life. I regularly have tortillas sent to me from family in Mexico. I was expecting a truly amazing tortilla but yours miss the mark...

The tacos are out of this world delicious, with freshly made blue and/or yellow tortillas and their fillings full of flavor, but not spicy! We also were deeply impressed and grateful bc their entire menu is gluten free! (You can ask them to hold the dairy on the items that would otherwise be topped with crema/queso fresco for an entirely dairy free meal also!) The Aztec soup is already one of my top fave soups of all time. The outside patio is spacious and the whole vibe of the place is very cool/cute. anyway, yeah, we loved this place.

Also shout out to the vegetarian...
