About Masa Tortillas

 

Masa Tortillas brings the flavour and ritual of a neighbourhood Mexican tortilleria to Bristol, producing fresh corn tortillas and bold pantry essentials with an uncompromising focus on authenticity, freshness and flavour.

 
 
 

Made in Bristol, England

 

Bristol has always been comfortable doing things differently. Its neighbourhoods are shaped by independent restaurants, street-food traders, artists, brewers, designers and producers who value originality over convention.

The city’s food culture is particularly collaborative. Ideas move between market stalls, restaurant kitchens, small production units and local shops, giving ambitious young businesses space to test, learn and grow. That combination of confidence, curiosity and community makes Bristol one of modern Britain’s most exciting places to discover.

 

""Our aim is to bring British people closer to the flavours and culture of Mexico and Central America""

– Chris and the Masa Tortillas team

Meet the people behind Masa Tortillas

Chris founded the business after travelling through Mexico and Central America and experiencing the central place fresh corn tortillas hold in everyday food culture. What began with hand-pressed tortillas for a Bristol taco truck developed into a specialist tortilleria supplying homes, restaurants and independent food businesses across Britain.

VALUES & SUSTAINABILITY

Freshness without shortcuts.

Masa produces its tortillas fresh in Bristol using nixtamalised corn flour. The tortillas are naturally gluten-free, GMO-free and made without preservatives. Selected fresh-tortilla packaging is biodegradable, while local deliveries are made through low-carbon delivery partners where possible. The brand’s freshness guarantee reflects a deliberate choice to prioritise flavour and quality over artificially extended shelf life.

THE LOCAL EDITORIAL

Why we love Masa Tortillas

Masa proves that authenticity is found in the details. Their tortillas are fresh, unmistakably corn-led and made with knowledge earned through years of cooking, travelling and feeding people. We also love how the business has evolved without losing the hands-on spirit of its taco-truck beginnings.

The craft of Mexican Food

 

Mexican food is built on extraordinary regional traditions, ingredients and techniques—from nixtamalised corn and fresh tortillas to chillies, salsas and slow-cooked fillings.

The Local champions British independents who approach that culture with knowledge and respect. These are makers doing the work properly: learning from origin, choosing the right ingredients and creating food with the freshness, depth and vitality that mass-market imitations so often miss.
