Jesse's Tortilla Factory - Waco

Love Jesses Tirtilla Factory!!! Every time I visit Waco, I stock up!

As you walk in, you'll be greeted by a very strong corn scent. They process all of their own corn here, and they make their tortillas right in front of you. The employees are all very friendly and were all smiles while serving us. You can get hot tamales on most days, but sometimes they're sold out so it's better to call ahead of time if you're going specifically for tamales. Note that you'll have to eat them at home or in the car, there's no seating as this is not a restaurant. Their corn tortillas are the best I've ever had. They sell flour tortillas, corn chips, guacamole, and queso as well as their tortillas and corn tamales. If you're feeling creative, they also sell husks and masa so you can make your own tamales at home. They DO take credit cards, this place isn't cash only. Totally worth the stop if you're in the neighborhood.

They have plates from 10am til 2pm. I got the tamales plate. The meal was awesome!

Returning customer, Christmas time and any time, even covid 19 time really good tamales! We’re heading over there now for more fresh hot pork tamales; beef tamales chicken tamales.

Best Tamales in Waco. Jesse's has been a Waco staple for many, many years and they carry the tradition forward from generation to generation. The reviews that do not like these tamales are not true Texans who appreciate traditional Tex-Mex tamales, chip, salsa and queso. You can't go wrong with Jesse's.
