Fresh Masa for Tamales — Muleshoe, Texas
Fresh masa.

Call (806) 272-5772The same masa we use for our own tortillas.
If you are making tamales this season, this is the masa your abuela would have recognized — real nixtamal, ground on stone, no shortcuts.
The masa we sell by the pound at the factory is the same masa that goes into our corn tortillas. We nixtamalize dried corn with food-grade lime and water, then grind it fresh on volcanic stone brought up from Mexico. The result is a masa with real texture — the kind that holds together when you spread it on a corn husk, the kind that does not need a filler or a binder to work correctly.
There are no preservatives. We make it fresh, and it sells fast. If you are planning to buy a larger quantity for a tamale-making season or a catering event, call ahead so we can have it ready for you: (806) 272-5772.
Fresh masa by the pound We are open Monday through Friday, 8 to 2.
We are a working factory, not a retail storefront. The masa is available at the factory door during business hours. You can walk in without calling — we will get you what you need. If you are picking up a larger quantity (say, fifty pounds or more for a tamale operation), call ahead at (806) 272-5772 so we have it ready when you arrive.

Stone-ground masa works for any application where you want real corn flavor and the right texture. Here is where we see it go most often.
Tamales
Tamale masa needs to spread smoothly on a corn husk, hold its shape during steaming, and have enough flavor to stand on its own against the filling. Stone-ground masa has a slightly coarser texture than masa harina reconstituted from powder — it spreads well and cooks up with real corn flavor. Lard and chicken broth or pork broth are your business; the masa is ours.
Hand-pressed tortillas
If you press your own tortillas at home or in a restaurant kitchen, fresh stone-ground masa gives you a result that dried masa harina does not. The texture is right, the flavor is right, and the tortilla presses clean on a comal. Several of our regular masa customers are home cooks who grew up pressing tortillas by hand and want the real thing.
Larger orders for catering and events
If you are running a catering operation, a tamale-making event, or a church dinner that needs a significant amount of fresh masa, call us ahead of time. We can accommodate larger quantities when we know they are coming. Give us a day or two notice and we will have it ready for your pickup.
If you use our masa, you know the tortillas.
The corn tortillas and chips we sell to restaurants are made from the same stone-ground masa. If you want the finished product rather than the raw masa, we sell both wholesale to restaurants and foodservice operations across Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.
Come pick it up or call ahead.
