Jesse's Tortilla Factory — Restaurant in Waco

Read to the end! I’ve passed this little business so many times, but today just decided to pull in and try it out. I was given a couple free samples and was hooked! So GOOD!!!😋 I bought way more than I planned to. LOL! However, more than just walking out of Jesse’s Tortilla Factory w/ great Mexican food, I walked out overjoyed w/ a completely full heart!!!☺️ A homeless guy walked in the door. The store clerk (Orlando) just started giving food and a drink to the homeless guy, not expecting any payment or anything else in return! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I started talking about the business with Orlando, and he told me that his grandparents have been giving food away for decades. He said it makes no financial sense that they are able to stay in business w/ how much they give away, but God continues to bless them and keep their business thriving!

As you walk in, you'll be greeted by a very strong corn scent. They process all of their own corn here, and they make their tortillas right in front of you.

They sell flour tortillas, corn chips, guacamole, and queso as well as their tortillas and corn tamales. If you're feeling creative, they also sell husks and masa so you can make your own tamales at home. They DO take credit cards, this place isn't cash only. Totally worth the stop if you're in the...

This place supports Mexican Restaurants with the chips, hot sauce, queso, flour & corn tortillas and then there's the tamales. But here's the deal, you can buy from them directly. As a Texan I grow up having tamales for Christmas Eve. I have kept that tradition alive in my life and have created that annual routine with my family. As my kids have grown up and moved away Christmas Eve tamale dinner is the glue that brings the five kids and their love ones back to our home and its Jesse's that food they all crave. Thank you Jesse's...
