Tortilleria La Unica tortilla factory — Restaurant in Memphis

What happened La Unica? I am crushed! The Summer Ave location had the best tamales and salsas prior to your move across the intersection. You sold the absolute BEST tamales and tortillas within a 100 mile radius. We enjoyed them for over a decade.

July 15, 2021 I ordered our usual dozen tamales (pollo, res y puerco). You included one single 2 oz container of salsa roja for 12 tamales so I requested salsa verde. While waiting, I picked up a glass soda bottle which cost $2.75. Our tamales were marked with green ink imprinted on almost all the corn husks encasing the tamales.

Free, easy parking. Service was so friendly and cheerful. We are...

I visited for the first time today. No referral. I just decided to try them out. The cashier was friendly & professional. The restaurant appeared clean and well kept. The food was prepared quickly. I ordered a Tostada and 3tacos and rice. The Tostada was a 10! The tacos were asada. The meat was well seasoned but the shells didn't taste cooked or heated. The rice was ok...not very flavorful but still good. I enjoyed all of the food and I will return again for sure. I will try other items off the menu particularly a burrito...
