Picked up a bag of their tortillas in Phoenix. I have literally no idea what the hype is about. These were fresh, just transit time to Phoenix. Already stale on half the tortilla, and tasted like wet paper bag. Actually the worst tortillas I’ve had in my life.

The menudo was spot on and the fresh tortillas were just like my grandmas. Take home some fresh Mexican bread on the way out as that was tasty as can be.

I’ve never been to the actual store in Tuscon, but I buy these tortillas all the time and I LOVETHEM!!! I live in the Phoenix area and when it’s time to buy tortillas, I look for these every time!!! I hate buying other brands, they’re that good. Not every store sells them unfortunately. They taste homemade and traditional, not like those mass produced thick pita looking tortillas Mission makes… These are the real deal! :) Keep up the great work guys!

I bought these tortillas at a whole foods in Phoenix. They are all hard and stuck together. I can tell they are delicious but was very disappointed when I couldn’t pull one whole tortilla out of the bag.

You see their tortillas at all the major grocery stores here in Tucson. If you have had a Sonoran Dog anywhere in town, whether a brick and mortar restaurant or a food truck, you have probably had their buns. Alejandro’s is everywhere. So you should go to the source of the«everywhere» and try them out. I occasionally like to make my own Sonoran Dogs so I go to the source that everyone else does: Alejandro’s Tortilla Factory. I get a bag of their buns, usually a bag or two of their tortillas(which I find to be among the best I’ve ever tasted), and in their smallish grocery section, get a can of pinto beans for the Sonoran Dogs as well as their salsa fresca. I even got a donut there. It was very good! I haven’t tried their in-house café yet. It looks tempting. Prices are right and the menu looks good. Service is friendly. Nice family-run business feel. Check out this Tucson institution. It’s a 25 minute drive from my house, but I always find it worth the trip.

Baked good were delicious. 15 for $ 6.99. Get one of everything that looks good to you! Tortillas were just okay the next day heated with butter.

This is the best Carne Asada on the planet. The home made Tortillas are excellent as well. Lived here 6 years and just found this place after trying many many carnecerias in town. It is way on the other side of town, and I go anyways. Just get it. There is nothing else that comes close. And it is incredibly cheap! Cook over charcoal if you can and eat while hot. We do this often, and whenever company comes in from out of town — nothing but 5 star reviews here. It is the best kept secret in town. I will be back OFTEN.

Tamale time, tamale time, tamale time!!! Alejandro’s helps me keep my family tradition going by being the go-to place to get my corn ground to make green corn tamales. I came in Sunday morning, grabbed a wheeled cart and loaded it with my tub of white field corn kernels and it was quickly whisked away from me. Not even 10 minutes later my tub was returned with 66 lbs of soft, silky smooth ground corn! You pay by the pound for grinding your corn and I can’t imagine a better spent $ 19.80. It would have taken all day for me to grind that much corn and the consistency would NEVER be like Alejandro’s does it. Customer service can be hit or miss and sometimes it’s hard to get the cashier’s attention when she’s busy talking to the security guard but it’s all good. Once they turn their attention to you, it’s all smiles. They’ve got some seriously good eats and treats at Alejandro’s too. Not only can you order up some hot, delicious Mexican food from the window inside the store but there is a meat/deli counter too. Huge chicharróns and cooked meats are kept hot and ready to be purchased and so tasty. Alejandro’s is a decent sized Mexican market where you’ll find tortillas, laundry soap, comals, molcajetes, spices, tons of Mexican candy, fresh vegetables and chiles, beverages and so much more. While waiting for the corn to be ground we perused the aisles, got some steaming, hot rojo menudo to take home and picked up a delicious tamarindo covered«candy» apple. Good stuff!

Stopped in for a few tacos on the way to the airport and will definitely be back. Noticed they had 6 different types of tamales as well as what seemed to be a full menu of typical items. I’ll go back to check out the tamales. I didn’t recognize one of the taco offerings and asked — it was shredded beef and that’s what I had. I doubt there is any better shredded beef taco — but taco fans know the best one is the one in your hand. As I said, I’ll def go back. Interesting to note: you can buy your carne at the meat counter and they’ll spice and grill it for you for free.(at least that’s how I interpreted the painted sign outside the store and might have seen another mention of this.) Another interesting thing: the tables are stainless steel which is easy to keep clean. And easy to see that it is clean. They were. As well, I saw an inspector in the kitchen taking temperature measurements. And it appears they have excellent ratings from the health dept. which was easy to see as the kitchen is open. So big thumbs up and will re-rate when I’ve had more food there. BTW — you gotta get their hot dog buns to take home.

Alejandro’s has the softest sweetest buns I’ve ever tasted. While at the best Sonoran dog truck in Tucson we noticed the box of buns sitting on the counter. My best friend and I almost fell off of our stools trying to figure out what the box said. Whatever address that was on the box, that’s where we were going. We had another run in with an Alejandro’s box of buns at another sonoran dog truck and we knew it was meant to be! Alejandro’s is located in a grocery store along with a bakery and meat counter. The buns are located in the back of the store near the emapanadas. Resist the urge to squeeze them in your excitement, and buy as many as you can carry. MIne survived two airplane rides and TSA won’t look at you funny when you pass them through the scanner. Also don’t forget to buy tortilas. They come in small(taco sized), Burrito sized and whole wheat.

Love Alejandros. They are super friendly and have good food. So I actually ate inside, I’ve tried their carne asada burrito as well as the red chili. Both super good. Oh, if you are going to eat there, you pay at the cashier at the front of the restaurant then give a payment slip to the people out by the restaurant. I was there Sunday afternoon and several people came in for menudo to go, one left with a huge family size container, I figure it must be pretty good if all those people were eating it. It’s worth the drive to check it out, I came from across town just for a burrito and some tortillas.

This is a good place to have your Carne asada done, m family always order the meat here, and they will grill it for you for free, I have never eating at the restaurant inside but I hear is good, their meat is amazing, they put this dang seasoning and is so good, this place is located south of Irvington on 12th avenue in the south side of tucson, but I love it because yo can find anything here, Mexican candy, chips, you name it. The people have always been very friendly and helpful, I would definitely recommended. They have a number of different foods, pastries, and basic groceries.

When we first arrived, I peeked in at the factory and witnessed the fresh chips coming off the assembly line while enjoying the magnificent aromas coming off the outside grill in front of the store. Once inside I headed straight to the bakery area and found just about every kind of colorful bakery delight imaginable. Fresh spices and a meat market make it impossible to leave without buying something good to take home. I came away with some churros, fresh buns(sweet and soft bread!), fresh tortillas, torilla chips, chipotle sauce, and hot salsa… enough for my partner to make up some burritos and have friends over to share. It doesn’t get much better than this.

What a secret treasure trove. Made a quick stop for some buns and tortillas. Didn’t realize that they run an entire market with other local items. Store was filled with the fresh bakery smells as they were reloading the racks with buns and empanadas Awesome. Good selection of Mexican cheeses and the meat counter had fresh made carne seca. Can’t wait to try that. Staff was extremely helpful. If you want to prepare any Mexican specialties this is the place to go for authentic ingredients.
