Best Tortilla Press | Top 5 Reviews [Buying Guide 2024]
Our favorites were Masienda and Central Coast Woodworks.
One tortilla press came out on top in terms of durability and performance: the Doña Rosa Masienda Tortilla Press. It’s solidly built easy to use and evenly pressed dozens of tortillas. For a wooden press option we liked the offering from Central Coast Woodworks.
A freshly made tortilla is a revelation: soft flavorful and intensely melty (literally) it’s one of the purest embodiments of this staple grain. I first ate one when I was a chef at a restaurant in Providence where we nixtamalized flint corn and made our own masa before pressing the dough into tortillas. We’d serve them with sopa negra (roll the tortilla up like a flauta and dip it in soup like an edible spoon) or fry them in a little oil to make crispy tostadas for scooping up fish crudo. But my favorite preparation was one my fellow chef Angél made as a pre-service snack. He spooned some queso fresco into the center of the tortilla fold pinched it closed and then deep-fried it. Served straight from the fryer with a side of avocado and hot sauce it was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.
