Our founder, Karla Plancarte Solorzano, grew up in Mexico surrounded by lush volcanic farmland full of expansive cornfields, the toasty smell of warm, fresh tortillas floating through the air.
After moving to Amsterdam, it’s no surprise that Karla missed eating corn tortillas daily, she longed for the beloved comfort food and delicious corn tortillas of her hometown.
Nostalgic for the genuine flavor of Mexico, Karla searched across Amsterdam hungry for the high-quality masa and corn tortillas of home but nothing hit the spot.
Inspired by Mexico’s innovative history, Karla realized that the tortillas she made were better than anything found in the Netherlands… and the concept for Tortillera Taiyari was born!
