La Mesa Tortillas recently announced that they will be closing their location at 3684 W. Orange Grove Rd. this month. This is the shop found in the same strip as Crying Onion Cafe and the newly opened Tio Ben’s Mexican Grill — the corner of Orange Grove and River Road.

The shop’s last full day of service is Saturday, May 11. From Tuesday, May 14 – Friday, May 24, La Mesa Tortillas will be open to sell only tortillas and tamales (all other food and drinks will not be available).

The Aguilar family shared the news on Facebook, giving their loyal fans a heads-up about the closure.

“It has been our pleasure serving the North Tucson and Marana communities these past 10 years,” they shared. “Our customers at La Mesa Tortillas NW have become our friends and we will deeply miss our daily interactions with you. We do hope you will continue to visit us at our midtown location at Pima and Alvernon, and our eastside store at Broadway and Pantano.”

The other locations are still up and running and ready to serve you at 3923 E. Pima St. and 7823 E. Broadway Blvd.

From the outside and the name, one might assume that La Mesa Tortillas is just another tortilleria, but it’s also a restaurant where you can get full plates and bulk food to go. Their tortillas are special because they use no preservatives or additives, and they ship. They also make memorable tamales that people are said to crave upon moving away from the Old Pueblo.

La Mesa Tortillas is located at 3684 W. Orange Grove Rd. (until Friday, May 24), 3923 E. Pima St., and 7823 E. Broadway Blvd. For more information, visit lamesatortillas.com.
