NYC's Best CORN TORTILLAS Loved By Restaurant Chefs: Sobre Masa Tortilleria | Food Curated 🌮

Craving Authentic Corn Tacos?  It Starts with a Tortilla Made from Scratch!

Chef/Owners Zack & Diana Wangeman of Sobre Masa know what separates good tacos from GREAT TACOS: the tortillas. In the US, the majority of taco joints use highly processed, mass-produced, low-quality packaged tortillas. They work ok but are mostly flavorless without distinct character. Sobre Masa set out to change that. 

Inspired by their Oaxacan heritage, where heirloom corn forms the heart of family meals, Zach and Diana wanted New Yorkers to experience the difference homemade tortillas make. They embarked on a journey through Mexico's corn-growing regions, learning about heirloom corn farming, nixtamalization (the ancient process unlocking corn's nutrients), and the dedicated families preserving these traditions.

The result? Sobre Masa has become a go-to spot for NYC chefs to elevate their taco menus.  These tortillas are truly something special! Depending on the season, you can try different corn varieties showcased at their tortilleria/restaurant. We're fortunate to have them educating us on this valuable resource.

Sustainability starts with people like Zack and Diana.  Their dedication to quality and preserving their heritage ensures these delicious tortillas come to life.

Watch the video to see their incredible craft process! You can order Sobre Masa tortillas online, eat them fresh at their Brooklyn restaurant, and support passionate food makers.  💜 Eat more stories!
