This city does not focus enough attention on tortillas, according to one Austinite. KUT's ATXplained project set out to learn why.
When I met Levy to talk about his culinary concerns, we ate at one of his favorite taco places. One that actually does make its own tortillas.
“[I] would get a lot of, ‘Oh, we make our own flours, but not corn,’” he said. “Or, ‘No we just get them from the store or have them shipped in.’ In a foodie town, that seems kind of odd.”My first step in trying to report this story was to see the process, learn the tricks of the trade — and maybe eat a few homemade tortillas.
“If you’re trying to pump out as many tortillas as possible, you might need some machinery,” Picos said, “and that’s something that some restaurants have a hard time with. It’s just easier and more convenient to get tortillas or chips from a manufacturer.”But it’s not impossible for a restaurant to make its own, and several places in Austin do. Some even treat the tortilla as a sacrament. They declare: “Our food is good, butChef and co-owner Edgar Rico started with a dream to open a taqueria.
That’s not exactly what you want to hear if you’re the business manager of the restaurant. That’s Sara Mardanbigi’s job. She’s co-owner of Nixta Taqueria. Her job is to strike the right balance between quality and price.
