Tortilla Press by Doña Rosa
$80.00 – $86.00
Deep in the labyrinthine heart of Oaxaca’s Central de Abastos, Doña Rosa has been selling tortilla presses to locals for longer than she can recall. From the first time we worked with this style of press, we have consistently marveled at how such a simple, seemingly straightforward tool could make such an outsized impact on a finished tortilla. Unavailable in the US, its pure heft and tight calibration make a range of tortilla thicknesses possible (where every other commercially-available press falls disappointingly short).
Upon multiple special requests over the years, we’ve brought back as many of these handmade presses that our suitcases could carry. Entertained by our efforts, Doña Rosa eventually agreed to make a limited number of presses just for Masienda. For extra style and food safety, we commissioned the presses uncoated and imported them to Los Angeles, where we had them professionally powder coated with FDA-approved paint.
Years in the making, the Doña Rosa x Masienda tortilladora collaboration is ready for its debut.
Disclaimer: These are handmade tortilla presses with subtle imperfections. Use caution when opening and closing the lid, minding its edges and corners, which can be sharp. Paint may wear in high-contact areas after extensive use. Handle with care.

Dustin (verified owner) –
This is a great tortilla press. It seems well built, is made from heavy weight steel, and should last forever. It presses tortillas to an ideal thickness and doesn’t seem to require a lot of turning and repressing in order to get an even thickness across the entire tortilla. The only negative I can come up with is that the feet weren’t welded on perfectly straight and therefore the press wobbles a bit during use. However I’ve noticed that the press Masienda uses in their YouTube video has the same issue. It doesn’t really affect the function and sort of adds to the handmade charm a bit. Also be careful of the surface you use it on because it is jagged steel you’re dealing with, which could scratch some surfaces.
