“ Absolutely love stopping by anytime im in Waco. Their Chicken or Pork Tamales are absolutely fantastic and you cant go wrong with an order of flour tortillas or chips and salsa either. During the week their plate special is a great option for a fast home style meal that no restaurant can compete with! ”
“ Friendly folks, great food. I would highly recommend. ”
“ *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! I’m a Jesse’s Tortilla Factory fan for life! If you’ve never been to their shop, I encourage you to stop by and support this generous family business! ”
“ Jessie's was recommended when we needed chips and salsa for my wife's birthday party. This place is so cool. You can see the Tortillas and chips being made right there. The guy behind the counter helped me to figure out how much I needed. I purchased a 5lb box of chips, a gallon of salsa, and a gallon of queso. Everything was so good. I would stop here for the chips and salsa alone. I noticed they had a small lunch menu so I want to stop by for some of the other foods they offer. ”
“ Great taste made from real corn! Wish you were in San Antonio too! ”
“ 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 Tortilla Factory. ”
